Great ambiance, good food, great service. We went for our anniversary and it was wonderful

Seen this place pop up multiple times on Google & had to check it out for our anniversary. I think it was those rings of lights that intrigued me...legit every Christmas light event in the bay is sold out. So that was a plus for meeee. We booked reservations on a Wednesday night, just to be safe & checked in about 30 mins early and they still sat us down right away. They were moderately busy, yet the staff were very attentive! Each person had a role and they worked as a team. Props to that! I had ordered the Birds and the Bees & my boyfriend ordered the Gold Mine-- the bartender was going crazyyy. They serve 'em strong & delicious. I was walking out tipsy off two drinks. Okay, so on to the food. We basically tried everything that Yelp "Popular dishes" recommended. So those parmesan & truffle fries are A MUST. They served them fresh in a overflowing blow of heavenly goodness. We were literally about to order another, but their bread was too good. For appetizers we also tried their crab cakes and pork belly lettuce wraps. I don't really care for crab cakes, so I cant really put in my two cents other than it was meaty. But that pork belly lettuce wrap that was topped with pickled radish/ vegetable was surprisingly NOT heavy. I usually feel disgusting eating pork. But it was refreshing and the flavors were well balanced. That chef was poppin offfff tonight. For our entrees my boyfriend ordered a fall off the bone lamb shank. This dish was like a home cooked meal hugging you. I think we cried eating it?? Anyways, perfect dish. Also our fantastic server, Duane, spoke highly of the pan seared Salmon. That salmon was delightful and it was plated with carrots, green beans, and cauliflower. As much food as we ate... we still really wanted to give desserts a go. The NY cheesecake was light & delicious. But does OG NY cheesecake have crust? I was kinda confused, still very good. I liked the carrot cake... but I just wish it was fresh like every thing else. The cake was a bit dry & the icing was pretty hard like it was piped& then sat in the fridge for 4-5 hours. I don't mean to end it on a bad note. I mean, come on-- it's hard being perfect! Anyways, this restaurant is amazing!! The ambience, the food, the staff deserves 5 stars and a nice tip. I hope to be back for the french fries... read more

Great service, great food and drinks. The building was nice and the ambiance was perfect.

The hospitality industry relies on honest feedback for return business. My husband and I visited on recommendations. The pear salad was uneatable and the entrees were just ok. We didn't complain until the manager approached us. We stated that we were disappointed with the pear salad but the entree selections were our fault. He asked if we had questioned the server as to the selections. We informed him that the server had disclosed to us that he was a new hire and that he didn't know the dishes well enough. We stated we weren't blaming anyone. However, the manager, in essence, suggested that we had not asked the server enough questions and walked away in a huff. We felt the manager's approach was very offensive and unprofessional. For full disclosure-they didn't charge for the salad and pork dish, but we didn't ask for a discount. We would have preferred a respectable and honest conversation. We feel that the manager needs much work on customer relation and perhaps upper management can assist in that endeavor. read more

delicious and excellent meals are prepared in this establishment. Service is equally of high quality. We are locals and have dine here several times and it never disappoints. read more

My fiance and I finally made it to Celadon last night. The atmosphere was perfect. The hostess was so sweet, the Sommelier was kind and helpful. The Dungeness crab cakes were to die for. My chicken was cooked to perfection but my fiance's ribs were overdone, and they took very good care to make sure we left happy. But I would def say I'll be back for the crab cakes over anything else! Thanks for the wonderful customer service! That's something we don't always see in our valley! read more

Celadon - Seafood Near Me - Napa, California

Really nice ambiance, while remaining casual.  Felt very comfortable bringing family here.  Staff was nice and attentive. Unfortunately, food was average. Corn soup was salty, crab cakes was full of bread crumbs and flavorless, fried calamari was under seasoned and very saggy, moroccan-braised lamb shank was good but couscous was overcooked, homemade pappardelle pasta was good but sauce ruined everything. I'd recommend some adjustments in their dishes and I could see this at 4 or 5 stars in the future.  Location is beautiful and they could do so much more with it. read more

Enclosed patio room was gorgeous but stiflingly hot/humid. We sat inside for a nice cool brunch. Service very good. Short Rib Hash: Asked for eggs over easy, but they came crispy brown on the whites. But the yolks were free-flowing so it was fine. Very little meat altho tasty. Dish was mostly diced potatoes, but nice fluffy interiors. The caramelized onions were properly cooked and diced small, adding taste but without overt presence. Loose gravy was not a "Bordelaise". It was a good beef stock from braising the short ribs. The toast was unbuttered; kitchen was stingy with the butter amt. Grilled Chicken Club: the usual dried-out chicken sandwich that is NOT a classic Club. We wish restaurants would stop using the word "Club" if they are not going to make a proper triple-decker with THIN-SLICED pain de mie!!!! Burger good altho patty doesn't cover the bun. Fries, like my hash, good Russets with fluffy interiors. WINNER:Asian Sticky Ribs: Also sold at dinner. Glazed but not as goopy-sweet as other places we've tried. Tender and very tasty. Panko crusted onion rings and slaw were also very good. Everyone was sorry they hadn't ordered the same! read more

Great food ambience was so lovely it made the whole experience a pleasure. Sticky ribs salmon entree and short ribs were ordered that again were sumptuous. read more

DO NOT I repeat do not waste your time dining at this establishment. I have traveled to Napa from Los Angeles to gather with my family for dinner. 5 of us from out of state and different parts of California. We were so excited and giddy to dine here because of the reviews, so as 5 girls getting together, we were showing our excitement. As soon as we were seated, Octavio the Floor manager, immediately informed us that we would not be served alcohol. Why we asked and his response was "looks like you've had enough." We all looked at each other and thought he was joking. Well, he sure wasn't! We were shocked and appalled that first of all, he presumed we were intoxicated and that we would order any alcoholic beverages! Was his decision based solely on the fact of our excitement? We are 5 middle aged women of color... or is this the reason??? Octavio, we did not come here to drink, we came to have dinner! What a shame that we will never know how the food tastes! Oh well...Gracias Octavio. read more

Hidden gem in Downtown Napa. Love the ambiance of the restaurant. We had a great 4 course meal. We had the flash fried calamari, sweet coconut fried prawns salad, salmon entree and veggie pasta. We also had a glass of cab, Pinot noir (don't remember the wine names), Dow's 20 yr tawney, sandeman 20 yr tawney and of course a vanilla gelato. Our server was awesome Rafael. We didn't feel rushed and always making sure we are taken care of. We had a great dinner!!!! Definitely a repeat!!!! read more

Had reservations but came early so we sat at the bar. Told them it was our anniversary and they did nothing to celebrate it! Coconut prawns had too much dressing, manzanilla salad was bland and basic, seafood risotto while plentiful in seafood was again so basic for the price we paid, my husband tri tip was tender but the mashed potatoes were over whipped and bland. The Prisoner wine was our favorite thing, not compliments to the restaurant but wine makers! Celadon was overrated and waste of money. There are better places in Napa! read more

So beautiful outdoors and great ambiance inside. Service was also very good. The only thing is, the food is just okay. I've definitely had better tasting entrees. read more

What a great place to go for dinner! The food was excellent and so was the customer service which is always a plus for me. There's a cute area for pictures before walking in as well. We went here for our anniversary, and I loved the touch of saying Happy Anniversary on our menu and bringing out candles with our dessert as well. read more

Came here for dinner after a day of wine tasting. We arrived 30 mins earlier than our reserved time and we were seated right away. They sat us in their outdoor patio and thought this wasn't going to be good because it's 97 degrees outside but they somehow manage to keep it cool and comfortable. Although I had some mixed feelings about the decor in their patio area. I was digging the rustic feel and the cool fire place and the huge chandelier. Food was great! I loved the crispy pork belly with watermelon. I had the braised short rib it was very tender and full of flavor. Also had some of my husbands filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly. I don't normally order filet mignon unless it's at Ruth Chris because most places over cook it. Overall we enjoyed our meals and the service. They also have kids menu if you're dining with children. read more

Fantastic atmosphere (indoors or in the covered areas, you're sitting amongst a beautifully enchanted garden), delicious farm-to-table seasonal cuisine, and lovely service - well worth making the effort to secure a reservation and to add this restaurant to your Napa itinerary. read more

I found this gem on Yelp and went there for brunch with a couple of friends. We ordered from the brunch menu and got the pork hash. The meat and potatoes were tender but I think it needed a little bit more seasoning. Customer service was excellent!! read more

First time at this restaurant, the food and server was great! Ordered crab cakes, risotto and chicken. Nice portions and food was excellent. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. My three star review is because when we got to the restaurant, I realized I had made a mistake on the time of our reservation. I apologized, and the women was very curt, and stated we were almost a half hour late. She was very annoyed at us and at that point I should have turned around and left! She did accommodate us which was nice, but the attitude and unfriendliness I could have done without. I work in the service industry and we as humans make mistakes. I don't punish my customers because they are late. Yes it does create some effort to accommodate but don't make people feel even worse than they already do, and put a smile on your face! read more

Not much of an experience, place was a little difficult to find; hidden in an alley next to the waterfront. The entrance was lovely to walk through and could only imagine what it would look like during night time. We went for lunch; during the weekends they only serve brunch, not much of a choice to choose from. Our server didn't have much knowledge; when asked if there was another menu due to seeing other stuff on yelp reviews. Server wasn't sure if the short ribs were pork or beef...he said they were pork but did double check with Kitchen to inform of his mistake.i ordered the chicken club sandwich with French fries and my friend had the pork belly lettuce cups and the prawn mango salad. The pork belly was the best appetizer; a must get.Food was mediocre but dessert was the best. We decided on creme brûlée and the chocolate peanut butter torte. Our server had no personality; if I would come back it would not be for him unfortunately I did not get his name to inform of who so you can request someone else. read more

We had a fantastic experience last night for a 25th anniversary dinner. Impressed with the service- we had a romantic table for 2 next to the fireplace, custom menus and a card for the celebration, candle on our cheesecake desert- totally unexpected and delightful. Food was so good- garganellli pasta, cauliflower steak and we shared the heirloom tomato salad-tasty and fresh. thank you for a memorable evening and the liitle touches that matttered. read more

Celadon was the perfect ending to our day in Napa. The pork belly appetizer is AMAZING. The combination with watermelon is something unexpected but it goes together perfectly. The pappardelle pasta was perfect. And the brownie sundae was so soft. They're all must haves! read more

Came for dinner with members of the Royal Council, and had a delicious meal! Ordered the Pork Belly appetizer, which was my favorite item. The pork was juicy and crunchy and everything you need good pork to be. For entrees, I had the Coconut Prawn Salad, and friends had the Seafood Pasta Special and the Roasted Half Chicken. All were delicious, and picked off of each other's plates. Our server was so sweet, and all staff were super attentive and made sure we had a good dining experience. Come eat here when in Napa!! read more

Great restaurant. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the mussels and raved about the meatiness of them compared to Midwest and east coast places she's had them. My friend and I both had the chicken and agreed we needed to add salt and pepper as it was tender but flavorless. The service seemed a bit slow as we had to prompt the server for attention at times making it feel like we were there forever. I'd consider other options before returning. read more

Came on a Friday night to celebrate my anniversary with my partner. Our reservation was for 8 pm. We had a slight moment of panic because Yelp says they close at 8 pm on Friday. Their website doesn't list a closing time. But we thought it was safe to assume that they wouldn't book our reservation if they were closed. Luckily, they weren't closed. People were definitely still being seated after 8 pm. We were seated at around 8:15 but the hosts were very apologetic about it and gave us two glasses of Prosecco for our anniversary. The restaurant is a beautiful space inside and outside. Everyone was taking pictures under the beautiful archway entrance. Our menus were customized to greet us for the occasion and we were also given a handwritten card. We weren't feeling too hungry so we shared the beef carpaccio and the pork chop with our glasses of Cab. All of it was delicious 10/10. My mouth is watering right now just thinking about their food again. Our server Brookelyn and all the staff were excellent. Thank you for making our anniversary so special and for being so welcoming. We hope to come back again soon. read more

We came here as a party of four on a Tuesday night and were able to bump up our 8:00 reservation to 7:15 at 6:30, which was nice. Their outside courtyard-ish entrance is beautiful, and we were looking forward to sitting in the dining room that you can see from the courtyard so we could enjoy the view/ambiance. However, the hostess sat us in an adjacent dining room that was had a much more "basic" decor. I asked if there was/would be a table available in the other dining room, and without considering it or checking to see how long it might be to wait, she simply replied, "no, sorry." I was kind of disappointed but we sat at our assigned table and were pleased with our server. I can't recall her name but she was a sweetheart. We started with the calamari and pork belly. The calamari was good in that it was one of the least-fishy we've ever tasted, however, there weren't very many pieces of the body (rings) on the dish, which was disappointing. There were a lot of tentacles, which none of us were huge fans of. The pork belly was very tasty. We were told it came with 5 pieces, however, it only came with four. The noodles it came with were tasty and it was a decently large portion. Two of us got the pork chop, which was a very sizeable portion, as you can see from the picture. I didn't have it, but my friends described it as juicy and flavorful. The Brussel sprouts it was served with were nicely cooked as well. I had the chicken, which was decently crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The gluten-free gnocchi it was served with was kind of weird for me; it tasted like it was just potato, without the pasta on the outside. But maybe there was a thin layer of some kind of pasta; I don't know. It was OK. The wild mushroom ragout was pretty tasty and complimented the dish nicely. When our waitress asked if we saved any room for dessert, we replied that we unfortunately did not, and she was very sweet about it instead of trying to push it on us like you get at some restaurants, which was appreciated. Overall, I'd go back if in Napa again and would ask for a table in the courtyard-ish dining room. read more

We've been going to Celadon for 20 years, first at its old location off the river and in the "new" location at the Napa Mill. We've always tried to visit Celadon once every year or so, as it remains the last of the "old guard" for fine dining in Napa...one of the places that led the charge for a new culinary reality downtown. This past weekend was no exception to its fine record of consistency and quality. The Moroccan lamb shank was a favorite at the table, and it was nice to see new additions like the noodle bowl and the special double-cut pork chop was cooked to perfection. Almost everything was pitch perfect and met expectations entirely. The only stumble was with the timing on the dessert, but that was made right without even having to mention it. A+ on proactive customer service. So while it remains under the radar in Napa for "new hip delicious" places, it's really an excellent option that a lot of people overlook. read more

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate our Valentine's Day together. Upon arriving, we weren't greeted until about 10 minutes after being sat. The whole time we felt like we were getting dirty looks not only from the staff, but customers as well. We ordered two cocktails and two appetizers. Shortly after ordering, I received an urgent call saying my house had been broken into. We clearly had to rush out and when we were telling our waitress we needed to leave because of an emergency, she kept trying to get us to stay. Not only that, but we had to pay for everything and our appetizers hadn't even touched the table. Our drinks arrived two minutes before we left and neither of us had the time to even drink them. When we were leaving, someone asked what was wrong, we said we had an emergency, he replied by saying, "Come back soon". I would imagine someone's first response when you tell them you have an emergency is, "I hope everything is okay", or "Sorry to hear that". What bugged me most was the lack of urgency. None of the staff who greeted or helped us cared to help the situation. We even had to walk up to our waitress to get the paycheck and pay. I worked as a waitress and Assistant Manager for five years. I know what proper edict is and what is expected in this industry. To hear such positive reviews about Celadon and have such a negative experience is to say the least, disappointing. read more

I wish I didn't have to write a bad review and honestly I only like writing reviews when I'm very impressed with the food. Today is Valentine's Day and actually I just got married today (eloped) . Our elopement was last minute & will be aired in the news today! Anyhow, I've made reservations for this special day weeks in advance since it is nearly impossible to eat anywhere without a reservation on Valentine's Day especially in Napa. Unfortunately, because I just eloped across the bridge we ran behind schedule and got caught in the insane back to back traffic. I was really hoping to make it to our reservation at 4:30pm however I gave up trying to make it there because we kept getting into more traffic. Unfortunately, when I called them at 4:00pm to cancel my reservation the girl who answered as well as the manager Arnando (not sure of the spelling) said they will still charge my card because I did not call them 1hr before. I even pleaded with them & told the manager of my situation however he was not budging and did not even sound remotely apologetic that he HAD to charge me $25 for a cancellation fee. He made up this lie explaining that he cannot fill the empty spot when in fact we all know that it can and will be filled at a heartbeat on Valentine's Day! And of course I was upset like any other customer would be and all he could say is sarcastically "Have a Good Day"! I've never been treated like that before by a restaurant manager! Makes me wonder how he treats his employees?? read more

Average. Presentation was great; service was great. Very crowded restaurant so obviously popular. Food was average and bland, but I'm from New Orleans so my standard is probably high regarding taste, seasoning, etc. read more

My friend and I lucked up on this spot in a google search for dinner. I looked online and they did not have any available reservations until 845pm. I decided to call and see if they did walk-ins. The representative who answered the phone said she could get us in at 730p for a table of 2. This location is kind of in the cuts by the Napa River Front but it is definitely a place that we would recommend. The food was outstanding!! We ordered salad for appetizers, and my friend had the homemade ravioli for her entree which she LOVED!!! I had the Asian ribs and they were sooo delicious!! They had some bread with oil and balsamic which reminded me of Pasta Pomodoro bread and sauce mix, I wish I could of taken some home. The ambiance instead of wonderful and the customer service was IMPECCABLE!!! We will definitely be back!! Desert was a little off as my "Warm Sundae Brownie" was actually hard and cold, so I was unable to enjoy it but the waiters made corrected it immediately and offered me something else. I ended up with the coffee ice cream that must have real coffee beans because it was soooo yummy!! If you get a chance definitely check this place out, the customer service itself makes you want to return because the managers checked on us in between our servers and they just made you feel like you were welcomed here and they wanted to make your day....not that it was just another shift. read more

I really did not think much of the food ! My butternut squash was tough and tasteless and not enough sage or seasoning . Also the prawn starter just did not seem fresh ! Service was good and the ambience is great but wouldn't go back for the food . read more

Not impressed by the food other than the ceasar salad. Thanks for seating us next to the kitchen/restroom rather than 3 tables over where it would have been just as quiet and a nicer location for my mother's Octogenarian birthday. Dark chicken meat on the Ceasar salad, really? I didn't send it back as we were still waiting patiently for the last person to be served, and why stress out our server. Other than our server/bartender being classy, not interested in a return visit. read more

The food, service and attentiveness of the staff made our dinner a very special night. We had the pork chops which were outstanding.

We really appreciated our experience. read more
