    I came here just for a drink on recommendation from my server at dinner. I was impressed with their cocktail menu and had trouble picking from the list. Inside is cozy with first come first serve seating.

    I try to visit Goose & Gander whenever I'm in St. Helena. Their burger is incredible, the cocktails are expertly crafted, and the bone marrow appetizer is rich and memorable. The steaks are cooked perfectly and worth the trip on their own. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is warm and inviting, with beautiful seating areas both indoors and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Never had a negative experience with service. Always a fantastic experience.

    What an amazing spot--so worth the wait! The food was outstanding, even though we were already full from lunch... we still couldn't resist sharing a few plates, and every bite was worth it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walking in feels like stepping into someone's home--cozy, welcoming, and spotless.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was fantastic, and the overall vibe made us want to linger. Here's a fun little secret: there's a speakeasy downstairs! And the story behind The Martini House makes it even more special. Built in 1923 by Walter Martini for him and his wife Dionisia, the charm of that Craftsman bungalow still shines through. Some even say Walter still makes his presence known in the building! All in all, a memorable experience from start to finish. We'll definitely be back!

    Some of the best food I've had in all of St. Helena! We came on a holiday weekend for the Fourth of July and had a lovely time here. The staff were super friendly and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside and were sat by a beautiful fountain that made our dinner relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everything from the drinks to our actual dinner were delicious. I highly recommend anything with their delicious shrimp or adding it to your main entree!

    Sticky Pig Ears and Charles Krug Sauvignon Blanc

    My girlfriend and I had a date night out here on 11/26/2024. It was our second time. The first time, we did takeout; this time, we decided to dine in because we liked the kind of ambiance. It doesn't feel uptight but is mellow and warm. We ordered a couple of appetizers (pig ears & corn croquettes) and shared a couple of entrees (lamb pappardelle and the G&G burger). We both enjoyed all of our food. My favorite was the pig ears. They have an extremely long wine list with wine from all of the world. I ordered a local Sauvignon Blanc by the glass (from Charles Krug Winery). I liked it and thought it was priced right/reasonably. The service was friendly and professional. We mentioned we would share the entrees, and they cut the burger in half for us (without being asked) A turn off, I have to say, was that our waiter spoke too loud almost to the extend that it killed the atmosphere. That I would like to see changed, but we enjoyed everything else.

    Oh my gosh! What can I say about this place? 1st parking isn't readily available, I don't think as this time we went during night time; however, circling around to find parking, I could smell the yummy goodness. Hubby ended up dropping me and my son off since I was wearing heals and it was off/on raining. We walking in and the, I think manager or owner was help an elderly Cpl. showing where they could park and the easiest way to get inside. That was nice seeing that. After that, my son and I were greeted by the hostess who wish me a happiest of birthdays. After she seated us, my husband was there. Hugo greeted me a happy birthday as well and gave us birthday menus. We took some time to decide on cocktails and appetizers. Our server was very patient and courteous. While he put in for our drinks and wings, we were deciding what to get while taking in the ambiance. Out came our drinks and wings, then we ordered a Cpl of burgers and a steak for the birthday girl. Wings were finger licking fire. Hubby loved his clear ice cube in his old fashioned and my cucumber Collin's was awesome too. My son ordered his burger with a duck egg. He ate half up as he wanted to save room for dessert. My husband ate all his burger up. My steak was cooked to perfection but I was only able to eat half, as I too wanted to save room for dessert. For dessert we had chocolate mousse cake and apple galette then asked what dessert wine would go with the apple and Hugo recommended GL dolce which was so on point and totally enhanced the apple. As we were about to leave, the manager came over to check on us as well as wish me a happy birthday. Overall, just a fabulous birthday experience and I know we should come back more often than every 6 years but in my defense, we been out of the area for 5 of those years. Great Job to Goose and Gander.

    Wow! Full belly! Lots of good wines to choose from and the portions for main dishes were pretty large. Definitely going back for the good food and excellent customer service.

    Back Entrance

    I had heard that Goose & Gander was where the locals hang out which is exactly why my husband and I visited. We stopped in for an evening drink and sat off the back entrance. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We loved the intimate seating, fully stocked bar, and staff hospitality.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After seeing the menu, I chose to order the Fig & Fire and my husband the Rosemary-Pear Rhubarb. When I say my mezcal drink blew me away, it doesn't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed it. As a big fan of mezcal cocktails, it's hard to try something new and still feel astonished; this did just that. I also loved the duck fat fries and my husband enjoyed his gin drink. I could not recommend visiting Goose & Gander more for a great cocktail and elevated bar food bite!

    Fried Olives & Pistachios
    Krystina H.

    We got the opportunity to meet up with one of my closest friends from Jax, Jay, during our trip and decided to grab some grub together at Goose & Gander, a Napa staple. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We loved the warm cozy vibes, and sat downstairs in their basement bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered plenty of snacks, our favorites being the Stick Pig Ears & surprisingly, the Fried Olives (I'm not a huge olive fan but loved them). Such a great spot in Napa!

    I've been here pre pandemic and one thing that stayed with me were their delicious duck fat fries. So at last my intentionally make my way back to Saint Helena for my duck fat fries. The service was great, we came in on a Friday evening with no ressies and were seated promptly. I was extremely underwhelmed by the food. I had a burger, asked for medium, it came out rare. I ordered a simple Cadillac margarita. The first time it came out and it taste like nothing but lime juice, the second time it was really strange. So needless to say I left with no margarita a rare burger, and the duck fat fries weren't as good as they were or at least the way I previously remembered them. Overall, we sat downstairs. It was a cool dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were some hiccups, by the time we left there was an odor coming from the bathroom, it seemed like a plumbing situation was going on.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Is it worth going to if you're local? Yes. Will I make the track from Fairfield back to Saint Helena just to come to Goose and Gander? No.

    From the exterior, the unassuming historic craftsman style home looks simply as that. A private home with a magnificent garden in lovely St. Helena. However, step closer and you will find it has transcended into an opulent dining experience. The outdoor aesthetic begins in walking up to the front door, blanketed by the lovely garden, and scent of floral jasmine as you ascend the front steps. Stepping inside it is as if you have gone back in time with beautiful early 19th century architectural design and decor. Rich mahogany, fine leather, shiny brass. We stopped in only for a cocktail, so we made our descent to the bar below. This beautiful space boasts a speakeasy feeling with bar and hightop seating, as well as a corner booth. The bar has a plentiful list of libations, along with an impressive cocktail, spirit, and wine program. You will find a full restaurant on the main floor, as well as an outdoor patio. Gorgeous interiors throughout. Those that stay cool in warmer months, but toasty with a fireplace in the cooler ones. Perfect for date night, dinner with friends, special occasions, or any occasion for that matter. Definitely a place for the grown and sexy.

    Carrot Cake yummy

    Every single thing went well at Goose & Gander. Make reservations ahead as they were very busy when we walked in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service, staff, food, & ambiance all 5 stars![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Such a treat for us coming from Hawaii and a must if you're visiting wine country

    This cocktail is VERY acidic. Mostly lemonade? Could only drink half.
    Rose R.

    Not sure what the hype is all about. The best thing we had were the pig ears. The mushroom soup was tasty. The cocktails were terrible. Sent 2 back and chose a different option. We left a lot of alcohol on the table. The burger was soggy and flavorless. Not sure why anyone would order the bone marrow with it. We also had the risotto and added chicken. Chicken added $15. Paying nearly $50 for risotto that was just okay? We will NOT be back. The wait staff was nice but didn't offset the poor meal.

    Is there happy hour, if so when and does it include food? Also, is there a corkage fee?

    All the Napa restaurants have corkage fees. There is no happy hour that we know of. Check the restaurant website.

    What's the corkage fee?

    Outside wines are always welcome. Corkage is $30 per 750ml for the first 2 bottles, $50 per 750ml for each additional bottle.… 

    Is there still live music? Is so when?

    Do they serve the dessert menu in the bar?

    But, of course:)

    Can you sit a group of 9 people?

    Yes you can. They have covered area outside that can easily accommodate a large group. they have heating lamps as well.

    There's no mention of a happy hour on the G&G web site, does anyone know what its like and the hours/days? Thanks

    The Restaurant and Bar are open from 11:30 AM to 11:00 PM (midnight on Friday and Saturday night). There isn’t official “Happy Hour” with discounted drinks or snacks. But Goose & Gander is one the coolest bars on the planet and the hand crafted…

I originally had dinner reservations elsewhere and changed it to this place bc of all the reviews I'd read and so many locals said this was their favorite place. The food was ok. Let's just say my favorite dish was the SALAD (miso caesar). The steak tartare was disappointing. While it looked good, it lacked flavor. The bread which we ordered (was not complimentary) was hard. We took the lamb and $13 rice to go. I tasted the lamb before we left and it was pretty salty. Although service was mostly good, our serve did not offer us an alcoholic beverage. We thought maybe he forgot, but after visiting our table at least 3-4 times in the first 20 mins, we were never asked if wanted one. We decided with all the food we ordered, we'll just grab a drink elsewhere afterwards. The other thing is the server suggested putting in the order all at once and that they would space it out. This is bc they cook most of their proteins over an open fire. So we did what was recommended and EVERYTHING, but the entrée came out five minutes after we ordered it. This is why we ended up taking our lamb and rice home...we were full from eating everything else that was supposed to be spaced out. Also, everything came out so fast, we were there for just 45 mins. Anyway, I'm sure this was just a one-off situation, but I was highly disappointed bc I had convinced my hubby that this place was all the rage. I would disagree after my visit. I might go back one day, but to be honest, there are sooo many restaurants to dine at, I don't think I would be back soon unless a friend suggested it. Side Note: Parking was easy as they have a designated parking lot and there are also lots of side street parking.

It looked like a nice place, and we decided we would return the following day for a visit. We came in for some drinks and to enjoy the swanky interior. Dark, sexy vibes, very nicely done. It was on the emptier side when we visited, partly because it was earlier in the afternoon, and partly because people were elsewhere watching the final rounds of the World Cup, but that was fine with us, because we got out lovely bartender basically all to ourselves. Unfortunately, I can't remember his name, but he was terrific, friendly, engaging, and down-to-earth. He made us some great drinks (lemon drop for me, tequila & lime for my partner - we're such one trick ponies), and later showed us around the place. There is a lot of history in the building. It used to be a bank back in the day (and by 'back in the day' I mean the 1800's), and it still has the original vault.

We didn't try any food this time, they only had light bites on offer at that time of the day, but the dinner menu looks promising, and I look forward to having a full meal here upon our next visit.

    While Brasswood is a little farther north than I usually venture when I visit Napa Valley, it was…read morewell worth the trek. This restaurant is located among Brasswood's other businesses: winery, bakery cafe, and some retail store (that I didn't check out). there's a large inside dining room with interesting decor, and there's an outside seating area in the back as well, which overlooks the courtyard in the middle of all the business (which has a nice water fountain thing in the middle). the middle of courtyard looks like it's set up for weddings. I opted to sit outside since it was a nice day as did most of their other customers at the time. Our server was polite and professional. - fresh mozzarella with toasted bread: I don't know why this isn't listed on the menu since it's the biggest reason to come here. Fresh pulled mozzarella that they cut up tableside and serve on some freshly charred and toasted bread. It's not just nice, fresh mozzarella; they season it properly along with a drizzle of olive oil. So good. - heirloom tomatoes with balsamic vinegar: this is also not on the menu, but it's probably seasonal and based on the availability of good quality tomatoes. delicious. a perfect complement to the mozzarella, really. is it pricey at $12 for a few pieces of tomato? yes, but I'd do it again. - Short Rib Sugo (slow-cooked short ribs, carrot, & onion sofrito, mushrooms, cabernet sauvignon, parmesan, house-made pappardelle pasta): this was a solid dish. basically, what you'd expect. nice and rich. I think they used a touch too much rosemary when seasoning this dish, but not enough to ruin it. - Duck Bolognese (sonoma duck, classic mirepoix & red wine, pecorino romano, house-made pappardelle pasta): this was also delightful. it ate similar to the short rib sugo in that it was this rich, delicious pasta dish. I found this one more to my liking compared to the short rib sugo, but I think they're both fine dishes. - The Brasswood Burger (meat, cheddar cheese, & ketchup only): this was a variation of their standard burger that was ordered for a kid. I had a few bites of it. while the bun was just plain great, the patty itself was dry & overcooked. they didn't ask for the doneness of the meat when we ordered, and perhaps, they just hammered the thing since it was being served to a kid. - French Fries: these were served with the burger. they were very nice. thin and crispy. good fries! - Chocolate Mousse Cake (cranberry sauce, chantilly cream, amaretti cookie): this was very chocolately. almost too chocolatey, but the cranberry sauce and chantilly cream played a nice foil to the richness of the chocolate. I wasn't sure if I'd like the chocolate & cranberry combination, but it worked nicely. A good dessert for chocolate lovers.

    Great food. Absolutely terrible service…read more What could have been one of our best meals in Napa was completely overshadowed by the worst service my husband and I have EVER experienced. The food was excellent--the mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes, ahi salad, and pizza were all delicious. Unfortunately, our server took our order and then essentially disappeared for the rest of the evening. Our plates and silverware were cleared but never replaced. We asked for more and waited so long that we eventually took silverware from the table next to us. We asked for the check twice and told someone we had lost our server. Meanwhile, we couldn't even order a glass of wine or dessert. When our server finally returned, she explained that she had a friend in a wheelchair and had needed to help transfer her. I understand wanting to help a friend, but leaving an entire table without service for essentially the entire meal--with no communication or backup--was unacceptable. Credit to the chef for the fantastic food and to the busboy who kept our water glasses full. But great food can only go so far when you're literally ignored all night. We won't be returning. It's a shame because the food deserves much better service.

We were requesting and reserving said table was very easy - parking is very easy Room for improvement: - we had a 5 o'clock reservation, but our first round of food didn't come out until approx 645. We specifically booked an early reservation so we could eat early yet all the food came out for everyone around the same time. We had to ask when we were going to be served by the female pouring our water and she promptly found our waiter who then asked if we were "ready for the first course?" What? Was I supposed to tell someone we were ready to eat? We have been to many Michelin restaurants before, and the delay in service set a very poor tone for the rest of the meal. If everyone is served at the same time why have various dinner times? By the time we left it was almost 9 and we were very antsy to leave as we had been there for 4 hrs at that point - the food was underwhelming and in our opinion did not meet the standards of Michelin, esp for the cost of the meal. We had eaten at Charter Oak for lunch and I'm so glad we did as had we only eaten at Press I would have been quite upset at not getting a meal that was not only delicious but crafted - usually there's a degree of education on how to eat the food and the waiters put the meal down, described how the food was combined and the components of the food, and then walked away Overall: would not return or recommend people dine here

    OMG! Off the charts wonderful…read more Did the four course lunch with the wine pairings. What a special experience. Don't miss this. Attentive service, great food, thoughtful wine pairings, outstanding price/value. One of the most enjoyable dinning experiences I have enjoyed.

    I treated my parents to a 4 course lunch meal with wine pairings for their anniversary and we had a…read morewonderful time. The service was amazing. The students worked very hard and the food all looked so pretty. For the price and value of the prix fixe, I would rank this place 5 stars. But not considering price, I would give it 4 stars, because the food is not quite matching the level of the fine dining in the Napa area... yet. Overall it was a very pleasant experience. I love the attention to detail. They gave us free champagne for the celebration, and put celebratory words on their desserts. We were so full at the end of our meal, I probably will go with 3 courses instead of 4 next time to not stuff myself silly. After our meal, we walked around the garden area next to the parking lots, and then visited the other building where the student bakery was. I bought some pastries to take home to my husband and kids. We tried few different tarts and they were all delicious! I highly recommend checking out the student bakery if they are open. One credit card tip that you may find useful: this place did not count as a restaurant so I didn't get my bonus Chase cashback (5% category that month instead of regular 1%). I was a little disappointed there because I like maximizing my cashback. I would use my other credit card for 3% cashback next time! It showed up as "charitable and social service organizations" on my CC transactions. I will definitely go back! It's such a good deal for a nice meal.
