We stopped by Napa's Oxbow Public Market for an easy late lunch. We were starving and got a beef…read morekefta flatbread and lamb shoulder over couscous. I loved the grilled lamb shoulder which was tender with a good char and served over the couscous mix with raisins, chickpeas, and almonds it was a great bite! The preserved lemon and mint yogurt were great flavor additions. The beef kefta was good as well and nicely wrapped in the flatbread for an easy handheld bite but didn't have as much flavor as the lamb. We also got a mint tea to drink which was a nice sweet tea but didn't have the herbiness of the mint tea we had in Morocco which was a bit disappointing. Overall great quick meal with a ton of flavor. I wish Moro would open up in SF but we'll have to catch it again the next time we're in Napa!

Stepping into the bustling Oxbow Public Market in Napa, friends and I noticed a new Moroccan spot…read morethat had popped up. The menu allows for an order of protein or main veggie (lamb, chicken, cauliflower, etc.) and a supplement of carb or veggie (pita, couscous, or salad). After ordering the shawarma chicken pita wrap ($18), I initially got the order within 15 minutes. However, the person behind the counter came to tell us they gave us someone else's order, so we had to wait another 10 minutes. After receiving the wrap, I discovered was smaller than expected. It was a tasty and savory wrap with a small kick of spiciness, but portions were too small. Taste was 4 stars and value was 3 stars. I was still hungry. Desperate for more food, I sampled the harissa chocolate chip cookie. At $5, it was a great value and size. Nice melty flakes of chocolate with tiny punch of spice, and a salty finish. I would try Moro again, but with couscous or salad as a supplement, and with lower expectations of value.

My partner was skilled at finding delicious restaurants in the area and we checked this place out…read more I had never actually checked out this quaint downtown area before until this visit so it was pleasant to walk around to see all the tasting rooms along with the bookstores and other pleasant shops. We came in right before the restaurant filled out at 10am and got the shakshuka along with a burger and fries. Everything was made perfectly and so flavorful. The chefs certainly have a skill for optimal taste and cooking as that was the best meal of the weekend. The server was so attentive and sweet too! We always had our water refilled and several friendly workers asked us about our triathlon experience. Very sweet people!

I am a frequent flyer when in the area of the KD. I really enjoy their Pho and chicken wings. It's…read moregood food with up and down service. Some mishaps have happened with service on prior visits but management and servers are always concerned and make it right. That's why I keep coming back. I Popped in Thursday afternoon for Pho. It was not busy only two other couples eating when we arrived. We sat at our usual table And noted service was a bit slow right off the bat. When I received my Pho, which I thought was a longer wait than usual, it was luke warm if that. The Korean ribs and chicken wings arrived temperature appropriate. I pushed my soup aside but no one checked back until my lunch mate finished. When the waiter came to clear the table I asked for a to go and thought he would ask if there was anything wrong. He did not so I told him the Pho was served luke warm so I did not eat it and that no one had checked back or even passed by us or I would have sent it back to heat it up. We were done now so I'd just take it to go. Our waiter apologized and when he brought the bill said The Pho was comped and apologized again for the breakdown in service. When I dine I like to relax and enjoy a meal With who I came with. So receiving temperature appropriate food is important. The KD does a good job. They have a diverse menu with flavorful food and great cocktails. When there is a hiccup in service or the food there is a genuine concern. Sometimes it's caught by them and others it's brought to their attention. It's how things are dealt with when those mishaps happen. The KD addresses your concerns with sincerity and want their diner to have an all around great experience. If you have not been give KD a try when in downtown Napa.

This was my second time trying Croccante's pizza, but my first time eating it there in person…read more Croccante really has some of my favorite pizza in Napa! Their Detroit-style pizzas have a delicious crust which perfectly compliments their toppings. My favorite pizza being their mushroom pizza! I'm glad I finally got to enjoy their pizzas fresh at the restaurant. Their pizza was as good as the first time I had it (even better since it was fresh), but I got to experience their great service! All the staff was super friendly, and we felt at home. Love Croccante and will continue to be back!

The inside of the bread is like a croissant. OMG The calamari and wings were soooooo good. Wings - fried and then toss in sauce. Everything was prepared fresh as well. No lie, their ranch dressing might be the best I've had the past few years. I got some ranch to go it was so good. The question is will I be back? Dang Skippy

This time I ordered the Vietnamese chicken salad and chili cheese fries on the side. My date ordered the California burger and sweet potato fries. When we got our food, my date said, she should have ordered the salad that looks so good. You know what? It was bomb! Super flavorful and refreshing. It made everything else taste bland or maybe it was bland, not the salad though. I would come back for the salad. The chili had no flavor, my date said her burger didn't have any flavor and she regretted choosing it. I don't normally like sweet potato fries but they were good from here.

TLDR: Best BBQ in Napa, hands down. Brisket and burnt ends…read moreare killer, mac n cheese surprised me, the owners are absolute gems, and the space is gorgeous. Cornbread and sauces missed the mark for me, but the meat more than made up for it. Definitely going back! The full story: Finally! A BBQ joint that knows how to season meat! Stateline Road Smokehouse in Napa is the spot. We rolled in on Mother's Day and got hit with a line almost out the door -- always a good sign! Turned out the wait wasn't bad though, because they've got a slick assembly line going. I watched the girl slicing my brisket right next to the order-taker, then just followed my tray as it moved down the line. The space is gorgeous -- big, bright, and airy, with clear garage doors and windows across the front and a domed ceiling overhead. We ordered the brisket, burnt ends, BBQ chicken, mac n cheese, and hot water cornbread. Plates come with their house-made pickles, onions, and peppers. They even have stuff for non-carnivores -- the Cherry Wood-smoked Maitake & Greens (maitake mushrooms, lettuce, heirloom rice, marinated garbanzo beans, lemon vinaigrette) and the 18th & Vine Grain Bowl (barley, quinoa, sweet potato, arugula, parsnip, saffron egg, pickled onion, burnt orange vinaigrette) both looked fantastic. Maybe I'll grab one next time -- right next to a pile of brisket! On the drink side they've got wines by the glass, boozy slushies, draft beer, and batch cocktails. We stuck with water this round. Prices were a notch above what I'm used to in Sacramento, but for Napa they felt totally fair -- especially since this is probably the best BBQ around. The brisket was a steal at $19 for a half pound. The chicken at the same price for a half bird felt a bit steep, but I could be off on what's normal up there. The brisket was seasoned beautifully from the very first bite -- smoked to perfection, fall-apart tender. No knife needed. The burnt ends were my favorite of the whole spread. They had a splash of sauce on them but it wasn't needed -- those rubs hold their own. The BBQ chicken had a totally different vibe -- hard to describe, but it gave off Asian-influenced flavors. Solid on its own, but pairing it with the brisket and burnt ends was a misfire. The flavors just didn't play nice together. The mac n cheese was great. It wasn't baked, but it also wasn't mushy or overcooked like most places -- the noodles still had bite and the cheese was flavorful. Sadly, the cornbread was the weak link. A little dry, kinda bland, and not as thick as I like. About the size of a thin 6" pancake -- not really worth the price. The other miss for me was the BBQ sauces. Just not my thing flavor-wise. To be fair though, the owner built his whole business on those sauces and apparently ships them out by the pallet, so plenty of people clearly love them! It was awesome seeing Darryl Bell, the owner, back in the kitchen working his magic -- and get this, he's reportedly the first Black restaurateur in Napa since the 1800s! That made the warm welcome hit even harder. Even with the rush going on, he popped out to snap a picture with us and thank us for coming in. His business partner Jeremy was also working the floor, checking in on every table, and he stuck around to talk us up about Darryl's BBQ skills and how their partnership came together. Then during a lull, Darryl came back out and gave us the whole tour -- the cultural and historical design choices throughout the space (the building used to be a Quonset hut, which explains that cool domed ceiling) plus the murals on the back patio. Dinner AND a show! Wishing these guys all the best. Can't wait to get back and work through more of the menu.

Finally tried their beef ribs after hearing so much about them. Honestly, wow…read more The flavor and overall experience really lived up to the hype. I also don't think there are many BBQ spots around Napa serving beef ribs like this, if any at all. Overall, Stateline Road Smokehouse continues to be one of the best BBQ spots in Napa for me. The sausage is excellent, the brisket is consistently good, and it's the kind of place I'd recommend to anyone visiting Napa looking for great tasting and aesthetic food. One thing to keep in mind though is that the beef ribs are only available on Fridays and Saturdays.
