Ribeye Steak
James M.

The service at Cordeiro's is top notch! They make you feel at home and catered to. We started off the meal with a couple cocktails and the calamari & shrimp. The dish had good flavor with the highlight being how fresh the shrimp tasted. Next level freshness that would resonate through the meal. The one thing I would adjust with this dish is the level of crispiness. I normally order fries extra crispy and I should have done the same with this. Next was the french onion soup and the Caesar salad. The soup was classic style with the onions being on the sweeter side. Good rendition. The salad was something that my friends had raved about and it was quite good. Nothing wrong with it but I have had better. The presentation was cool too. For my entree I had the ribeye steak. It comes with potatoes and vegetables. The steak was good but I would have preferred a higher char level. I ordered medium rare and it was closer to medium. Cooked at a higher temp for a shorter time would have been better, still the steak had good flavor. The potatoes and veggies were uninspired but there was nothing wrong with them. I order fries on the side which like the calamari could have been crispier. The peppercorn sauce was delicious. My wife had one of the specials for her entree, the ahi poke salad. This dish was delicious. Again the freshness of the seafood stood out. A terrific balance of flavors with some wasabi heat. 10 for 10. It was my birthday so the restaurant gave me a free chocolate mousse dessert which was delightful. All in all a good meal. We will likely return but next time focus on the seafood as I believe this is where Cordeiro's excels.

Came in on a Sunday night, not too many people inside. We had made reservations and were seated straight away. We started with cocktails which were delicious. All of the staff were friendly and very attentive. We enjoyed the lobster cakes as an appetizer and both enjoyed the fillet mignon. The meat was cooked perfectly. We ended with a custard crepe with was incredible.

The place is cute and cozy. The restroom is well maintained. There is plenty of seating. There is also seating at the bar. My little one ordered kids pasta and fries. My husband and I shared the special ribeye, pork belly and Cesar salad. The price for the entree was definitely not worth it, especially when it took nearly an hour for them to serve it. I was expecting they would serve my little one's food before us. Unfortunately she also had to wait an hour to get a kid's pasta. I honestly don't see us coming back here in the future. The outdoor decor is very cool! Lots of photo opportunities.

After dinner cordials ... spectacular

This steakhouse is the absolute best ever! The food, table side salad, drink cart, dessert and the exceptional service. All our steaks and the rack of lamb cooked to perfection. My espresso served with a lemon twist and sugar cubes such class. Most important are the servers... just exceptional!!

Table side Caesar is a must

If you want a special dining experience, being treated special in a dining room not crammed with tables, Cordeiro is a wonderful choice off the beaten path for a night of older school steakhouse dinner. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant has a number of small to medium sized dining areas inside, outside, and at the bar for you to select from. When we walked out around 9pm, the bar area is still completely full. The Ceasar salad prepared tableside is a must have. We split one salad so we could also enjoy other appetizers. The one person portion is huge that there is plenty of salad even we split. The specials sounded like a great way to go but since it was our first time dining there we stick with the classics. We had the double cut pork chop and the lamb chops as our mains. Both come with carrots and asparagus. We ordered a side mushroom but realized the vegetables that came with the mains were plentiful (and yummy). Corkage was $30, very reasonable! Service was attentive and polished.

Clam Chowder
Keith W.

We decided to visit here for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. Decent wine list with many wines by the glass and bottle. My wife opted for French onion soup and I decided on the clam chowder. Both soups were very enjoyable. It was fun to watch our waiter make Caesar salad at the table. There was also a moving bar to make drinks at the table. The rib eye steak was cooked perfectly with potatoes augratin, asparagus and carrots. There was a peppercorn sauce on the side. My wife's rack of lamb was perfectly cooked. The restaurant had a lot of character. At one time it was an old house. A lot of nice plants and very comfortable setting. The meal was very filling. We took a piece of cheese cake home for dessert. Freddy our waiter brought us a nice tort that said Happy Anniversary. Very nice touch. Even though they close at 8:30; no rush for us to leave.

Rack of lamb

My partner and I shared a memorable birthday celebration at Cordeiro's Steakhouse while on a weekend getaway in Napa. This restaurant is such a lovely blend of fancy steakhouse and a casual, fun environment. The food was in general amazing and is no wonder how they were able to win so many awards in the past. But what really made our experience great was our server, Fouad, who helped us make decisions on our orders and really ensured we celebrated my partner's birthday in a very special and memorable way. We'll always make out a priority to visit this steakhouse every time we're in town!

Big fan of Cordeiros but they fell short all the way around for a celebration dinner on a Wednesday evening. I don't eat red meat much so ordered the special halibut. The sauces offered were not something I usually go for. I was told the chimichurri, which is a pungent herb based sauce, was not spicy hot. It should not be, but I always ask. I ordered it on the side and good thing as it was very spicy. Another person at the table loves spice so they enjoyed it on their steak. The lemon beurre blanc sauce was a lemon butter tub in a bad way. Third sauce was something I would definitely not order nor recall. I substituted fries for the mashed potatoes and they arrived hot and crispy best item on the plate. The fish was dry and flavorless without a sauce. I usually order the lobster or the prawns but wanted to try something different. My table ordered the table side ceaser which was nice but no anchovies were offered but brought when requested. My beat and goat cheese salad and the Pork chop was the winner at the table. I was told the pork chop was cooked to perfection and flavorful. I was disappointed in the service from our waiter. It was not busy when our party of four was seated. We watched as tables came and went he accommodated our requests but was inattentive. At the end your meal the liquor cart is brought and complimentary pours are offered. Not this time I had to ask our server who blamed someone else for not bringing it. Every time I have eaten there it's the server who brings the cart over. I do miss their chocolate fondue which was removed from their complimentary service years ago. Overall underwhelmed and disappointed as I always talk this place up and drive from the East Bay to dine there. I want to add the front of the house staff, specifically the female busser was on point with service and very personable as she always is. This may have been an off evening. Corkage fee was waived which was appreciated. All and all this is a good bet for meat and potato eaters.

I'm going to give this restaurant a four star. But I have eaten at restaurants in Southern California that I think are just a little bit better food wise. I had filet mignon cooked medium and it was good but something was missing. My husband had rack of lamb and he loved it, both came with potatoes and asparagus. We also had bread which was very yummy including the butter. We've been drinking wine all day so I had an old-fashioned instead of wine. We skipped dessert because we were too full. They did a small after dinner drink such as amaretto, but we both declined. Our server's name was Jimmy but when he said his name, it didn't sound like that. Prices were what I would expect in this area. Loved the old house all the different rooms you could eat in and we're very cozy some with fireplaces.

Sorry to drop this to 2 stars. The service was just okayed today. Steak was undercooked. Bread was cold. At the end there was no fondae fruit or dessert shots. If they want to cut all the good things and memories of this restaurant (there is no more truffle chocolate!), they possibly will lost me as a regular customer. Forget to mention we made reservation and they gave us a tiny table and I have to hold my purse and scarf the whole time. They even have to box our appetizers before they can bring out the steak because there is not enough space but we saw they seated someone with the 4 seats table after us. There were also empty tables in the restaurant. Oh well... PS I went to Cordeiro for birthday, Anniversary and Xmas dinner.

First time here, just popped in to get an espresso martini at the bar. Gustavo took care of us! He is so amazing, greatest customer service that elevated our experience. Drink and quick bite suggestions on point! It is such a cute restaurant inside and out. Thank you Gustavo.. we'll definitely be coming back again.

We ordered East Coast oysters and they were sweet and delicious. Delicious mignonette! Next we had the Poke Bowl, which was fresh and a little spicy with perfectly cooked chips. Would definitely reorder. Last we had the burratta salad with grilled peaches - to die for. The only downside was the Pinot Noir my husband ordered (Bravium) was really flat and did not enhance our dining experience at all. Please take a look at your wine offerings. Your food is fantastic but with the wrong wine, it misses the mark.

BIRTHDAY DINNER AFTER TWO WINE TASTING…read more One week ago last Saturday night after the second winery my sister, her husband, and my relatives came here for dinner to celebrate my birthday. When we arrived our party was 30 minutes late. On a Saturday night I was concerned if we were going to get a table. Fortunately the receptionist was able to find a table for our party around 6.:00 PM, but he stated we would have to be out by 8:00 PM. I looked at the menu. Since I was going to a steakhouse in Las Vegas in late September I decided not to order steak. For the entree I decided between the branzino or beef short rib. While I am at Vegas I will be going to an Italian restaurant where they serve branzino. So I decided to go with the beef short rib at Bottega. I asked the server what pasta would go well with the beef short rib. He suggested the Spaghetti alla Sophia Loren. I'll be honest I thought after seeing pictures of the spaghetti the Spaghetti alla Sophia Loren would be bigger. The portion was smaller than I anticipated. If the portion is small the flavor better stand out. The spaghetti was al dente. What I liked about the Spaghetti alla Sophia Loren was the cherry tomatoes as they were sweet not tarty as tomatoes can be. Even though the portion of the Spaghetti alla Sophia Loren was small I wasn't full for my main course. Next was the main entrée the beef short rib. I really enjoyed this dish. The beef short rib was moist, but not too rich that I felt bloated. What also cuts the richness of the short beef rib is the polenta. Out of the two dishes I ordered the short beef rib was tastier. I was too full to order dessert even though some of the items were enticing. However I got a complimentary dessert for my birthday. Overall I fun enjoyable with my family for dinner at Bottega.

We were a table of three and ordered three appetizers and three entrées. Unfortunately, our server forgot to put in one of our appetizers, which we had been patiently waiting for. By the time we realized what had happened, it actually ended up working out because we probably ordered a little too much food to begin with. Aside from that, I would say the service was pretty standard. For my entrée, I ordered the braised short ribs and substituted the polenta for potatoes, and they were absolutely delicious. The short ribs were incredibly tender and easily fell off the bone. The potatoes were a great substitution and paired really well with the dish. This was definitely the highlight of the meal for me. At the end of dinner, they surprised me with a complimentary birthday plate with an assortment of small desserts and fresh berries, a candle, and "Buon Compleanno" written in chocolate. It was beautifully presented and a really thoughtful touch that made celebrating my birthday there feel a little more special. Overall, it was a nice birthday dinner. Nothing was particularly out of the ordinary, but I really enjoyed the romantic atmosphere, my short ribs were delicious, and I appreciated the birthday dessert plate at the end. The ambiance is definitely what stood out most to me and made the evening feel special.

Our hotel gave us a little card for a free appetizer, which turned out to be a little fried polenta with gorgonzola and basalmic over marinara. A great bite to start. I wanted a salad and our server Mike recommended the Napa Cabbage salad and I'm glad he did. It was probably the most decadent salad I've ever had - there was so much bacon and I loved the mushrooms and grilled prawns. My husband had the filet with the gorgonzola butter and really loved it, especially the mashed potatoes. Only bummer was the broccoli was super crunchy. Probably the best part was the dessert. I had the lavender and orange creme brûlée and my husband had the bread pudding. You can get it with ice cream and he got his on the side - he was glad because he really got to enjoy the texture and flavor of the warm bread pudding. Mike and the team provided excellent service and everyone was really friendly. It's an interesting old building, a former bank, and if you want to you can reserve their vault dining room. Highly recommended.
