From the moment we walked in, the ambiance felt warm, intimate, and thoughtfully curated--perfect for a valentine brunch in wine country. The food was truly the highlight. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor, clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. You can tell there's real intention behind the menu, with a great balance of creativity and comfort. The portions were just right, leaving us satisfied but not overly full. Service was equally impressive--attentive without being overbearing. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and gave great recommendations, which made the experience even better. If you're in Calistoga and looking for a spot that delivers on both atmosphere and exceptional food, this place is definitely worth a visit. I'd happily come back again! read more

Really tasty food, good variety of choices. You will find something you want to eat - even for the most picky eater. I could have made a meal out of several appetizer choices! Nice open space. Don't feel crammed in. Service was a little slow but we went for an early dinner so maybe they weren't ramped up yet on staffing. 100% recommend. read more

This seems like a newly opened place. They seem to have vineyards - but we had finished our wine tasting and wanted some food. It has a large ceiling dining area that is beautiful. When we went, there weren't too many people there for lunch. The waiters were attentive and polite. The focaccia bread with rosemary was very fresh - seemed a little too fresh oily - but I am sure they will fix that aspect. I would go back and try other dishes - we weren't too hungry so had a tartine and some soup. It was very tasty. Slightly on the higher side for the food cost but the ambiance is upscale too. read more

Service and food were great. The 2 dishes were ordered had excellent sauces - this place knows how to do sauces right! The menu is a little pricey - we went for brunch and had no alcohol or side dishes and our pretax total was over $60. Ambiance is great but didn't love the music. read more

The food was ok, maybe eating at 2pm was a bad call. We ordered shrimp sandos and a chicken sandwich. Brioch bun was stale the chicken sandwich had a chicken breast which was comically huge and just bland. The booth had cobwebs around the wrought iron and service was unbearably slow. read more

Great brunch spot if you're in Calistoga. Service was tentative and welcoming. Cozy inside with plenty of seating for big or small crowds. Food tasted really good and fresh. The breakfast potatoes were awesome; very flavorful. I would recommend if you're in the area. read more

This is a new place, can't believe yelpers haven't reviewed it yet. Let's call it elevated American food. We started off with wine & the butternut squash soup; it was creamy, silky texture a tad coconut forward yet overall scrumptious. We shared their autumn salad - it was tasty, loved the dressing, unique flavors for a salad. The mains were: wild caught salmon & the halibut; the halibut was stellar! Hands down a great tasting dish, I would never think of the pairing the sauce they had with the halibut, bravo . Our server, Dennis insisted it was one of the best items on the menu & he was right. And since it was a birthday, bring on the desserts: Apple dumpling with vanilla ice cream & lemon cheese cake. The lemon cheese cake was light, fluffy, well done. The apple dumpling was unique, not sure I've ever had that before. Service was on point, Dennis did a great job, from making recommendations to checking in as to how things were going. His helper, Fatima did her best to clear & keep our water glasses filled. The feeling is casual, you could easily dress up a tad & fit right in. Shall return. read more

Hands down the best meal I've had in at least 5 years......every dish was spot on - fresh, flavorful and cooked perfectly. Soup of the day to start (fava bean and andouille), spring salad with herb salsa (must get), then the wife and I split a burger with waffle fries and the shrimp and grits with bacon gravy. Every one was a 10 out of 10. Multiple drinks/cocktail's which were also delicious. We were stuffed but had to get dessert so had the strawberry rhubarb crisp / just wow. Run, don't walk to this restaurant- I'm already thinking of the next visit. Oh, and service was top notch too. Kudos to the whole team. read more

In Calistoga for a visit to the wine country. Eight North was recommended as one of the new restaurants in town The food was good, our party had the cheeseburger, shrimp and grits and chicken pot pie. No complaints. The wine selection by the glass was good but the reason for the 3 stars is the wine pours. They were ridiculously light, especially for the price. If I'm paying $22 for a glass of cab, I expect a full pour, not some measured light pour. Especially in wine country! I wouldn't go back to this restaurant for that reason alone. read more

So delicious and the service was amazing! You must have the shrimp and grits....OMG. Everything was so, so good!!

First time trying this new gem during a weekend trip to Calistoga. So glad we tried it. Our server - Dennis - not a menace - was delightful & his recommendations on drinks & food were spot on. Lemon Drop & wine were amazing but our fish dishes.... Definite home run. Ambience was very cozy with comfortable booth seating. Highly recommend. read more

Had lunch here. Asked our server for recommendations and he helped me pick the wagyu burger. It was cooked perfectly and was really delicious. The spiced waffle fries were fantastic also. Great food and service! read more

Eight North is an excellent addition to the dining options on Calistoga's high street. We went twice for lunch, and had the green goddess-y entree salad,burger, barbecued shrimp poboy, and local beer. Friendly service, clean, airy space. Just a really classic, well-done restaurant not grasping for any silly food trends. The decor is a little bit Chicago 90s mahogany, but that's part of the charm. Highly recommended. read more

the food and drink was really good y'all. we only had time for bloody marys and delicious apps (octopus, deviled eggs, and an amazing lettuce taco wrap - highly recommend) for brunch but it was delicious. the gin bloody mary special was hand crafted with tomato essence and a million ingredients. the bartender and service was great too read more

Excellent food. Loved the grilled octopus in particular. Fun cocktails. Very creative. Will definitely try again.

Divine, distinguished, delectable. In my short two-night visit to Calistoga, I visited Eight North three times--twice for social hour and cocktails, and once for dinner, which is by far the best offering in town. Each menu item is carefully crafted and flawlessly executed, while each bite explodes with nuanced flavor and texture. The Brussels sprout appetizer was especially whimsical; I appreciated the Asian twist of fish sauce, crispy rice and red chilis. The bacon-wrapped pork loin was served over a bed of kimchi fried rice dispersed with tangy shiitake mushrooms. The chicken entree, a breaded breast drenched in a creamy Meyer lemon emulsion, was unparalleled--the most tender chicken breast I've ever had! Dessert--I bitterly regret that I couldn't order them all. What I did experience was the most sublime milk chocolate creme brulee, with a toasted marshmallow crust giving way to a decadent but impeccably balanced custard. This exquisite dining experience is only complemented by a beautiful dining room with plush furniture, ornate dark wood trim, and a romantic fireplace. Dining at Eight North is imperative when visiting Calistoga! read more

Food was great but what made it so amazing was the service! We had Dennis as our waiter and he was more than tentative. Greeted us with a smile and great attitude, always had our waters full and checked in constantly. Couldn't have been better service. 10/10 for Dennis read more

This place was amazing! I went with some friends for NYE and was a bit skeptical because they were fairly new but everything from the service to the food did not disappoint. I had the vegetable pot pie along with a few appetizers and it was the best pot pie I've ever had. We shared a few desserts; baked Alaska, banana brûlée cheesecake and heirloom apple dumpling. I'll def be back! read more

Beautiful restaurant. The bar was very impressive. Apparently it has been around since the 1800s!. We had an amazing meal. We started with the buratta salad which was excellent. I had the mussels and a side of duck fat potatoes. I have never had mussels this large and they melted in my mouth. The broth was out of this world. My husband had the root vegetable pot pie and he was very pleased. Creative cocktail menu. Gotta love a cocktail called "juice box hero". Nice wine selections (no surprise there). Dessert for me was lemon cheesecake, which was outstanding. I believe the crust was a combo of brown sugar, graham cracker and butter. Whatever the case, it was phenomenal. My husband got the apple dumpling and said it was delicious. Wait staff was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend if you're in Calistoga. read more

The food was excellent, great service. The flank steak, $45, was outstanding. Delicious, cooked and prepared perfectly. The chocolate creme brûlée was otherworldly. The texture was sublime, silky not heavy or overcooked, delicious chocolate flavor, and beautifully caramelized top. The best food I've had in Calistoga. I would make it 5 stars if not for the prices. $45 chicken pot pie, $50 pork chop, $60 halibut. Seriously?? Unfortunately they're too expensive for me to try them to see if they're worth the price. If they're as good as the flank steak and brûlée maybe they are worth the price to those who can afford it. I hope Eight North doesn't further alienate those -including upper middle class- who can't. read more

Top notch service and food. No detail is overlooked at 8 North, from the beautiful table settings to the fun salt and pepper shakers, this restaurant ticks all the boxes. Brunch was delicious, we'll be back for dinner! read more

Service! Stopped in with my wife to have a quick cocktail and appetizers on Valentine's Day. The espresso martini's were excellent and ribs were perfect. But better yet was the service. Devyn was on point!! Very personable and fun to talk and share a few laughs with. We actually stayed longer than anticipated because we were having such a good time. Our next time in will include dinner and hopefully Devyn as our server!! read more

Amazing Shrimp and Grits. My wife had the Steamed Mussels and they were also excellent. The grilled octopus appetizer was tasty as well. The ambiance was like any restaurant in San Francisco and their great food had me remembering great meal I've had in New Orleans and Spain. The wine list was also excellent with great local am some non local choices by the glass that paired well with our dinners . We can't wait to go back! Well done Eight North! Thank you! read more

We had a wonderful Friday night dinner at Eight North. The restaraunt is spacious and warm. Our waiter Dennis provided excellent service, very attentive and friendly without being overbearing. He took the time to introduce us to the menu and clearly descrive dishes including recommendations. We started with a couple of glasses of white wine, the calamari conservas and an order of the ranch spiced waffle fries. The conservas were presented with delicious home made crackers and a pickled vegtable mix that really brightened them up. The ranch fries were perfectly crisp and spiced. For mains we ordered the petrale sole and the bacon wrapped pork loin. The sole was cooked beautifly and perfectly accompanied by the burre blanc. Just a perfect preparation of a classic dish. The pork loin was over spicy kimchi fried rice and the heat was perfect. The shitakes had a pickled flavor which balanced the dish and cut through the spice. Eight North clearly puts a ton of care into their menu construction, their preparations and their service. We were really happy with our experience and will be back. read more

New restaurant in Calistoga. Had a great lunch. Very nice ambiance. Highly recommended

The food was great! If this review was based solely on food and service it would be a 4/5. However... the drink pours were insulting. We did a wine tasting in town earlier and each wine pour was a splash less than is considered a "full pour" here. The food item I ordered was prepared completely different than what was advertised on the menu. As a Napa Valley resident I won't be returning and won't be recommending. Good luck tourists. read more

Attractive ambiance, good service from a friendly staff, good quality food but skimpy portions for the money. I ordered the petrale sole and what came was a small portion of fish served along with a spoonful of whipped potatoes and a sprinkling of greens. For $42 I expected a full meal, not an appetizer plate. My wife and I spent $133 including tip for dinner (without wine or dessert, just a shared salad and two entrees), and I left the restaurant hungry. I expect a lot more for that price. And at least put some bread and butter on the table! read more

Dined at Eight North for the first time last night. So happy to see the beautiful interior of the building had been preserved. The food was amazing, best in Calistoga in my opinion. Our server, Grace, was excellent and we have decided to eat at Eight North a second time while we are in town. Don't miss having a meal here! read more

Disappointing experience overall. The olives were overly brined, the cheeseburger was undercooked despite being ordered medium, it was runny and bloody. When we asked to have it corrected, the response was oddly rude: "Do you want it cooked more or less?" We wanted medium, not raw. The fried Brussels sprouts were soggy, and the drinks were poorly made. Not a place we'll return to. read more

Service was great the octopus was delicious the Caesar salad was great the only thing was the rib eye steak. The steak was full of gristle. For the price point you would think the chief would have known better. The dessert was delicious. Almost a perfect experience. Need a more tender piece of beef. read more

We had a fabulous meal at eight north. We're longtime visitors to Calistoga and were happy another eatery had opened. The food blew us away as did the service - shoutout to Annie for making our night so memorable. The vegetable pot pie was so full of flavor and the chicken Francese was exceptional. If you're staying in Calistoga, do yourself a favor and visit 8 North. You won't be disappointed. read more

Food, service, and ambiance were all top notch. We were a party of eight and the service could not been more attentive. Everyone at our table ordered a different dish and each one came out perfectly prepared. It was impressive to see such a consistency across the menu, and every plate was well presented and full of flavor. The overall experience was relaxed and enjoyable making it place we'd happily returned to recommend and recommend to others. read more

James our server was great. Ambiance can be less of steak house heavy side which doesn't match with the food style. We had fried brussel sprouts, tasty and flavorful. Steamed mussels portion was just right and also full flavored. Chicken francaise was creamy, full of flavored and portion was just right. Dessert baked Alaska was delish!! read more
