Outstanding service with a staff that is knowledgeable about their cocktails and food…read more We had a few tapas and all were very good. We also shared a paella dish with black rice (a first for me) that was also very good. The price was on the high side but within the "normal" range for Napa. I'd recommend it but check the menu and pricing so you're not surprised.

Walking in downtown Napa and we passed by Zuzu. Ot was inviting and the idea of tapas made us all…read moreexcited. We were seated at the counter height table so it was a bit uncomfortable with a child but its not too big of a deal. Our orders were croquettes, mussels for small plates and we ordered the zuzu paella and paella negra. We had daiquiri and singapore "something" for our drinks. Everything was tasty and good! The paellas were both delicious and the mussels has a great balance of citrus and savory! We were seated outdoors and the vibe was great! It just took a while for the check and one of the orders was late. Overall I would definitely come again for a good Spanish cuisine!

The pastor tacos (also happy hour) were by far the best pastor tacos I've ever had. Super flavorful and cooked perfectly. We also tried the lettuce wraps. They were good, but probably not something I'd order again. The fried chicken sandwich was solid, juicy, flavorful chicken, and I loved that it came with fries since that's becoming rare in Napa. The burger was also good, again with fries (much appreciated). THE STAR: the octopus. WOW. So tender with the perfect balance of flavor. It was the only dish I managed to take a photo of because the presentation was beautiful and honestly better than any octopus dish I've had in the valley. 10/10!! Our server was super friendly and knowledgeable, helped steer us in the right direction, and kept things fun at the table. Huge thank you to Em for such a great experience! We will be back very soon!

I came here with my family for a birthday dinner and we were a party of five. I would definitely…read moreconsider this restaurant more of a date night spot for up to two people because it is small inside. However, there weren't a ton of people in there so a larger party like ours thankfully worked. I was a little bit confused by the menu because I felt like it was attempting to be a fusion restaurant of some sort. Flavor profiles ranged from Asian cuisine to Italian and to Mexican/Latin. That being said everything that we ate was delicious. I do feel like some of the entrées felt a little bit incomplete. For example, the octopus dish was very good, but clearly needed a vessel to soak up all of the rich sauce. A side of rice would've gone a long way had it been included in the entrée. Our server and the bartender were amazing though. They came over and checked on us regularly, refilling our waters as needed, and took a group photo of us more than once lol. I just think that the menu could use some refinement and direction and if I returned, it would be more of a date night or just with one or two friends versus a larger group.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience dining at Carpe Diem. I attended an event here recently…read moreand knew I had to return for a date night. The dining room is small, but really lovely. Nice touches adorn the restaurant throughout. The menu has a lot of wonderful options. The service, provided by Alex, was excellent. We started with the Dungeness Crab arancini, which are probably the best thing we ate all evening, and that's saying a lot because everything we had was great. These arancini are perfectly fried crab meat rolled into a ball served over a delicious tartar sauce. I wish I had 3 orders of this, at least. We ordered the soup of the day and their bread service. The soup was a white bean and sausage and it was perfectly salty and fatty. The bread and butter was a perfect accompaniment. The Carpe Diem salad was also really special. It had these Cabernet soaked dried cranberries that were so good and tart. For an entree, we ordered the short ribs which come over a risotto. It felt a little heavy, and maybe the sauce could've used a little acid to cut the heaviness. It was still really delicious though. For dessert, we had the espresso crème brûlée. This was just the icing on the cake of a great meal. I love Carpe Diem and hope to come back soon!

I sat at the high tops at the bar for happy hour. My dog has been behaving amazingly since boarding school and being able to put her obedience to the test at CD was amazing because everyone was so kind. To drink I had the HH margarita. Then I had the pork belly which was phenomenal, though I wasn't expecting a one piece pork belly--thought it was going to be multiple pieces. It was so good. To drink I also had the carpeninsula--so good! Love this spot and thank you for welcoming me and my pup so warmly

Everything was perfect!…read more Make a reservation because this place gets busy. 7 items is more than enough for 2 hungry diners. Everything we ordered was incredible! House picked veggies, kale salad with anchovy dressing, marinated squid salad, shishito peppers with smoked sausage, sardine pate, piri piri chicken wings. But the goat stew was the star. You must order this!! The restaurant is cozy without feeling cramped. The atmosphere is casual, clean, comfortable. The server was really nice and offered me a taste of wine before I committed to a glass of a varietal I'd never tried before. Glad she did because my first pick was too fruity for me.

While working in St. Helena, I could never find an opening in a reservation, so here was a great opportunity now that all of us are retired. Our friends live in Clear Lake while we live in Vallejo, so this is a central place to meet. It was the best decision I made because every year for the past several anniversaries, we've gone to Cache Creek to C2. Their food and service is excellent because my husband enjoys poker, but I thought a change of scenery would be nice. And it was! Firstly, it was very kind of the staff to present us with a greeting card signed by everyone -- how sweet and thoughtful! We will cherish that! Secondly, we were very impressed with how the food/wine was locally sourced. It was incredible to hear the story about Custom, the Bull, and taste the difference between the Highland beef compared to Angus. Our waitress was "Erica S." She was engaging, personable, and very informative. My husband and I would definitely like to return to return to experience the dinner menu! We and our guests had the following dishes: Artichoke appetizer Arbororio Biscuits & Gravy Two Cheeseburgers Three Bloody Mary's Farmstead Margarita When they found out it was our anniversary celebration, the house sent over four glasses of complimentary champagne and a dish of dessert -- again, very sweet and kind of them I now understand why so many crowds flock to this restaurant! It's well worth the wait! If you have not experienced a meal there, you must definitely go now!

I was really excited to try this restaurant for the first time, especially for Mother's Day, and…read morewhile the food itself was excellent, the overall experience was disappointing enough that I would not return. From the beginning, there seemed to be constant miscommunication between staff. We specifically booked an outdoor reservation and were seated inside instead. While mistakes happen, it set the tone for the rest of the evening. The bigger issue involved the wine and corkage fee. We purchased a bottle directly from the market associated with the restaurant and were told by the employee there that the corkage fee would be waived if we bought their wine. When we sat down, our server Sara told us that was not true and that we would still have to pay the fee. I explained what we had been told, and when she asked if I wanted a manager involved, I said yes. Before the manager even arrived or clarified the situation, the server opened our bottle of wine. In the silence and confusion, I reasonably assumed the fee issue had been resolved. Then the manager came over and told us we would still be charged and implied that nobody at the market would have told us otherwise. The way it was handled made my husband and I feel like we were being accused of making the whole thing up, which was especially upsetting on Mother's Day. At that point, the bottle was already opened, so we were essentially stuck paying the fee regardless. Between being seated incorrectly, the poor communication between employees, and how dismissive the situation felt, the service completely overshadowed what should have been a special meal. The rest of the service we felt ignored and there was minimal effort to accommodate. Great food alone is not enough to justify returning when the hospitality experience feels this frustrating and unprofessional.

My goto dinner spot in Sonoma…read more I actually have been here multiple times and I don't know what has taken me so long to post a review but the Girl and the Fig is definitely the truth. When you enter you'll notice a more homey decor to the place. Warm colors all around and even warmer service once you sit down. Every single experience Ive had here is been nothing less of 110%. Theres always this good balance professionalism with lightheartedness that pair so well for the atmosphere. Because at its core this restaurant is high scale. It definitely has that higher scale vibe but if never comes off as pretentious though. This particular I took my wifey here for our 10th year anniversary together. And we were greeting by a nice little card from the "Fig Family." We ended up trying the Seared Halloumi and I was shocked at how much I liked it. Very light flavors but still enough variety with the crispy spigarello and pine nuts to keep things fun. The lemon never feels too overwhelming. For mains my wife got the Mushroom RisottoI think? Or maybe it was Butternut Squash Risotto? I got the Fig Burger and both were amazing. The only reason I didn't get her Risotto was simply because I already had it at lunch time, but that still didn't stop me from taking a bite. Each rice like grain had a perfect chew and flavor to each bite. Even being the picky person that I am with veggies, I appreciated the veggies addition to the dish. I still think though that the sure winner was my Fig Burger. This burger is everything we wish our local breweries burger was. A harmonic balance between salty and sweet. Im down to get a little crazy with burgers but if it's too sweet, it kinda loses the appeal for me. It takes away too much from the burgers roots. So yea. Go here. Make reservations too. I know for myself I made mine about a month in advance so it's hard to say how hard it is to get a table here. But hopefully it's not too bad. Parking by the way is just street parking. Despite that Ive always been able to get a park on W Spain St right before I pull up to the restaurant. OH! And thanks again Girl and the Fig family! You made the end to our anniversary quite magical!

For starters, they give you fresh bread with a side of the most delicious caramelized onion oil. The calamari fritti wasn't my favorite, but the marinara sauce was amazing.

The short rib melted our mouths. The bolognese was absolutely mouth watering. However, the show stopper of the night was the bread pudding & gelato.
