    Salmon special x2
    Russ K.

    This was my first time Evangeline and was impressed! They have considerable outdoor dining, but we opted for indoor as the interior is adorably cute & efficiently laid out. We both ordered the salmon special and were happy with our decisions. Salad was both fresh & artistic too! Service was excellent.

    Came in for dinner and was immediately impressed with the sophisticated ambiance. You would have no idea of what to expect from the outside. Was seated in a cozy booth next to the window and was soon greeted by the food server, Wendy. Super sweet woman. I wanted to treat myself to a very nice dinner and was not going to rush this. I started with their Sazerac which was so smooth and warmed me up since it was a cold and dreary evening. Wendy didn't rush me...let me finish my cocktail before ordering. I decided on the bouillabaisse and a glass of Rombauer Sauvignon Blanc to go with it. The wine was brought to me first and was perfect as Rombauer usually is. I was able to enjoy my wine a bit before my main course came out. The bouillabaisse was incredible. Lots of fish (Salmon and a white fish) along with several clams, muscles crab legs and potatoes in the most awesome broth based liquid. Two wonderful pieces of garlic toasted sourdough served along with it. This stew was OUTSTANDING to say the least. After I devoured my dish, and the plates were cleared Wendy came over (again, not rushing me at all) to check and see if I had room for dessert and/or coffee. OF COURSE I did. I knew that if my meal was great then dessert had to be wonderful. I was not disappointed with my choice of housemade bread pudding and vanilla bean ice cream with caramel sauce and a cappuccino to finish a beautiful and delicious dinner.

    The cocktails were delicious! The Mezcalita unbelievable, the pear salad delicious, and the hangar steak dinner with roasted Brussels, and mashed potato purée was Devine! I only wish this French restaurant had Escargot and French Onion soup! I say go you won't be let down!

    We dined at Evangeline mid-November and had a great experience. Food and service was excellent. Had the braised short ribs and steak. Of course they had an excellent wine selection but we brought our own bottle for a nominal corkage fee. Don't forget to try the espresso martinis!

    Short ribs with polenta and vegatables
    Merrick C.

    The portions are quite large, but there's a lack of attention to detail I would typically expect at this price point. - The chicory, prosciutto, and apple salad was light and refreshing--perfect for an early fall evening after wandering around Calistoga. - The rice with the chicken was extremely crunchy to the point I had to spit out a few grains. The seasoning was also inconsistent on the chicken between two pieces on the same plate. - The short rib was wonderfully tender, but lacked any real flavor. To make up for this, the polenta was extremely salty. - The vegetables on the plate seemed to be more consistently seasoned. - The tarte tatine was a nice desert, but I had a few bites that were really burnt. The water also tastes pretty bad. I know some restaurants like to up charge for bottled or sparkling water, but it is environmentally irresponsible not to offer filtered water in this day and age. When I initially declined to order a bottled water, the waiter emphasized that the water otherwise would be tap. I did not think it could be that bad, but it was, and I ultimately ordered a bottle of sparkling instead. (This choice was somewhat on me, admittedly.) Overall, this was a pleasant dining experience in a lovely outdoor courtyard. A few little tweaks could make this something quite special, but as it stood, there the food just wasn't quite what we'd hoped for.

    Fantastic experience. Delicious food and beautiful patio and outdoor seating. We are from Europe and loved the French atmosphere. Absolutely can recommend this outstanding restaurant.

    We love French food and don't have access to a restaurant near our home, so we were excited to find this place during our trip to Napa. The ambiance is warm and romantic. It's quiet and the service is good. Our cocktails were delicious and the soup was flavorful. The coq au vin was bland and the meat wasn't tender. The gumbo was hearty and spicy. The sausage was a chore because each slice had to be cut into smaller pieces which was a bit annoying. We were unsure why our food took so much longer to get than the surrounding tables but it did. Not sure we'll return since there are so many other tasty looking options nearby and we don't get to Napa more than once or twice a year.

    Ribeye steak, undercooked gratin, grilled Asparagus
    Linor V.

    Food is pretty tasty, however needs some help. -no bread service -salty beans -overly plain/simple gem salad (it was literally whole leaves lightly dressed with some pickled carrots and 2 cherry tomatoes) -uncooked potato gratin cake Service was friendly but the host was young and inexperienced and overwhelmed or confused. Our server informed us the food we ordered was out and didn't bring a menu which resulted in an expensive error. The ambience is nice, but strange. Plastic table covers with roses. Almost all of the seating is outside on the patio with heat lamps or outside in an fabric enclosed structure with heat lamps. It's dim and seems a romantic setting but the ground is quite uneven, and they sat us with really bad feng shui (back facing the black cloth wall and away from entry). There were a couple errors and/or miscommunications on the bill, and they were not very accommodating (they took $3 off but would not reduce the price for something we did not intend to order).

    We started at Sam's dinner club but the host had a conniption fit about me opening my bottle of wine!! 1 star for them, the guy was so embarrassing my quiet friends wanted to leave. So I got the last reservation at Evegaline's!! We got there and were escorted to an outside dining area with plenty of heat from the heat lamps. We ordered our dinner and the waiter came over and uncorked the magnum 1.5 Liter of Sean Thackrey's Sirius a silky smooth Petite Sirah from 2008. It was exquisite and super delicious!! Get a hold of me if interested in a Magnum of Sean Thackrey's wine! I had the Risotto done with saffron and Mike had the New York steak which we split our entrees! Then Emily had the Risotto with Shrimp and Robert had the Prime Rib special all were complimented. Then we had dessert Robert and Emily split a Panna Cotta and Mike and I had the chocolate mousse and everything was delicious and they only charged us for one corkage fee, our water was informative and appropriately friendly. We had a fantastic meal and I'll be back!!

Located in the heart of Calistoga on the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Cedar Street, Calistoga Inn Restaurant & Brewery is part hotel, part restaurant and part brewery with the latter two being both indoors and outdoors. What brought a friend and I here for a weekend lunchtime meal was the fact that we were enjoying a nice early wine tasting in Calistoga and my friend who has been here before suggested we try out this place for our meal as they have enjoyed their time in the past. And how could they not, as the Calistoga Inn Restaurant has one of the most popular outdoor dining venues in the Napa Valley, thanks in large part to their huge outdoor patio that stretches along the aforementioned Napa River, complete with shady lush foliage, not to mention their well regarded micro-brewery, otherwise known as the Napa Valley Brewing Company that occupies the historic water tower that towers over the entire property. upon entry to their outdoor patio, a fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs welcomes diners. We managed to get lucky when their host, who also serves as one of their many servers, sat my dining mate and I at a table for four people that had plenty of sunshine overhead. The lunch menu at Calistoga Inn Restaurant & Brewery is separated into categories including Starters, Starter Soups and Salads, Sandwiches, Lunch Plates, Pastas, Pizzas, Sides, and their Beverage menu including their award-winning beers, wines, mocktails, and cocktails. Although their pastas sounded so delicious our server David let us know that their Sandwiches were their most popular dish during the lunch hour, and their French Dip Sandwich made with thinly sliced ribeye, caramelized onions, truffle aioli, provolone cheese served on a house made French roll and served with a side of au jus dipping sauce and a side of garlic-cheese fries was one of their favorite sandwiches. I was sold and ordered that for my entrée. My dining mate ordered their Nashville Fried Chicken Sandwich, which was a deep fried breast basted in spicy special sauce, served with butter pickles, mayonnaise, coleslaw and instead of being served on their house made brioche bun, they asked for it to be served on their house-made focaccia, which usually comes with their turkey and brie sandwich along with a side garlic-cheese fries. To go with our meal I opted to drink their Como La Flor mocktail which was made with hibiscus syrup, water and lime juice after my first choice of their Black Swan cocktail was unavailable, while my dining mate ordered their Rombauer Chardonnay 2023 which is sourced from the Carneros region in Napa Valley. It wouldn't take too long for our meal to come out, and the team at the Calistoga Inn Restaurant & Brewery were very accommodating of my dining mate's request to not be served their spicy dipping sauce that already came on their Nashville Fried Chicken sandwich as they came out with a variety of dipping sauce, including mayonnaise to be served with their sandwich and fries. My French Dip Sandwich was one of the tastiest that I have ever enjoyed as it came with plenty of provolone cheese and the au jus dipping sauce which sometimes can taste off-putting tasted just right this time. With our refreshing drinks in hand we had a wonderful time out their on their patio, which would get more crowded as the lunch hour wore on. And why wouldn't it? As the sun's rays would shine down upon us while we ate and drank. Our total bill was 87 dollars before gratuity and taxes were added in, which can be considered high, but for what we received, including extra food to take home for an additional meal, then I consider it well worth it. At Calistoga Inn Restaurant & Brewery the food, service and atmosphere cannot be beat and with all the high-end wineries around the area, this restaurant and brewery is well worth a visit to get you back into the mood to wine taste once again!

    We had a breakfast reservation on a holiday, but on a rainy day in the winter, the restaurant was…read morepretty empty. I ordered the Napa Valley Breakfast which was a solid breakfast option, though the scrambled eggs and country-style hash browns were under-seasoned. The lunch menu starts at 11a so half of our party ordered breakfast and the other half ordered lunch. I can see how this is a great place to eat on the patio. Service was friendly and fast.

She repeatedly looked me up and down. The staff was transitioning to dinner, which was fine. However, they clearly had no interest in helping us.
