We are no stranger to Forge Pizza having visited the Forge in Jack London Square several times when…read morewe lived in the Bay Area. The Napa restaurant is nice. Tonight we dined simple splitting a Caesar Salad and a Seasonal Meatball and Pepperoni Pizza. The Caesar Salad was actually pretty good and with the addition of anchovies quite tasty. The salad was good size and easy to split. The Seasonal Pizza was also tasty and the wood fired Pizza Oven helped bring the flavors together. Service was polite but at times we felt forgotten. We had to request water while others got water automatically. Also, the check was dropped off at the end of the meal but it took decades to have the bill processed. Forge is a nice casual place to grab a bite in Napa. I would not hesitate to return in the future.

This should be a 3.5 but Yelp won't allow it, so I am rounding it up…read more I ate here with my son. We shared the Fritto Misto appetizer. It was quite good, although I think it could have had a bit more shrimp and calamari. My son had the ribeye with mushrooms, Mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes. The steak was cooked as ordered, and the mashed potatoes were very good. I had the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich which was pretty average. The staff, from the hostess to the waiter, were all great. Service was good. This is a sports bar/restaurant. It's a good place to come for a steak or a burger or....Not necessarily the best meal you will ever eat, but good steaks and other food, a good selection of drinks, and a nice place to pass a few hours and watch a game.

Initially when walking in, we were greeted by a hostess who immediately seated us. When looking…read morearound the establishment, there was a lot to take in. It has open floorplan surrounded by TV's mounted all around the high ceilings. In the center there is a very nice island bar and low lighting above tables and booths surrounding it. Once seated our waiter came fairly quickly and asked if he could get us started on anything. Being that we came on a weekend evening, we were pleasantly surprised at the quick service. We decided to start with the Pickle fries. For our entrée, my husband ordered the Wagyu burger and avocado & onion rings to his burger. I opted for the Napasort burger with fries. After ordering, I decided to use the restroom and found that it was in a very awkward place. You have to walk down a very long hallway, with minimal lighting, passing a glass room with patrons. I definitely did not feel comfortable and decided to not use the restroom again the rest of the visit. Once the food arrived, everything looked great. The pickle fries were okay, but I think would of been better, maybe cut as slices? My burger was very good and I could barely finish that and the fries. My husband like his burger and said he can't wait to come back and try other dishes. He also loved his beer, Lost Coast IPA. Our waiter was very attentive, all the employees were nice and the food was good. We definitely want to come back if in the area in the future.

It was our first time at Cole's Chop House and omg, the food was excellent!…read more Cole's has a classic, upscale steakhouse feel, very cozy and elegant at the same time. My husband had the Black Angus Cowboy Beef Chop - Bone In Rib Eye Steak (24 oz), and it was delicious. He said it was perfectly cooked and very well seasoned. The steak was nice and thick with a beautiful sear. I had their special Surf N' Turf ( Maine Lobster Tail with Filet Mignon ). Just a sweet, tender, juicy lobster tail alongside a perfectly cooked filet mignon. For a side, we both shared Yukon Gold Potato and Gruyère Gratin. It was creamy, cheesy, and golden on the top. For dessert, we got amazing Amaretto Crème Brûlée that was garnished with candied hazelnuts. It was just perfect! Rich and flavorful, but not too sweet, with nice caramelization and crunchy hazelnuts on top. I also got a glass of Domaine Carneros "Brut Rosé" which was a great match to my meal. Our server, Monica, provided exceptional service. She was super attentive, warm, and welcoming, she made sure our glasses were never empty, and checked on us at just the right times. Monica made the whole evening feel special. I also wanted to mention the hostess, who was so thoughtful. I was limping when I walked in, and she noticed that right away and immediately offered us a table on the first floor so I wouldn't have to climb the stairs. It was such a kind gesture and made us feel cared for. All the staff were amazing and super attentive. Excellent service! Thank you, Cole's Chop House, we had a wonderful experience, and we are definetely coming back!

Dined at Cole's Chop House for the first time and really enjoyed both the meal and the atmosphere!…read more One thing I really appreciated was our waitress letting us know that, because of the UV from the sunlight, our steaks might look like they weren't cooked to the temperature we requested. She was absolutely right! I probably would have questioned it otherwise, but my steak was actually cooked perfectly. Also, the espresso martini was delicious and a definite must if you're an espresso martini lover who prefers to actually taste the espresso rather than having an overly sweet drink. It had a great coffee-forward flavor without the sweetness overpowering it. My only suggestion would be to always mention when something isn't included in the stated price. I ordered the baked potato and was asked if I wanted everything on it, including cheese and bacon. Of course I said YES! What I didn't realize was that the cheese and bacon were each an additional $3. It wasn't anything crazy, but knowing ahead of time might have changed what I ordered. At $18 for the fully loaded baked potato, I may have chosen a different side, or my friend and I could have split one and ordered another side to share. Overall, we had a great experience. My steak was cooked perfectly, our waitress was attentive without hovering, and the atmosphere made for a really enjoyable dinner. I'd absolutely come back and recommend Cole's to anyone looking for a great steak dinner in Napa. And one tip: MAKE A RESERVATION! We were seated around 4:45 on a Saturday, and it filled up FAST. Next time, I'm taking everyone's advice and trying the second floor!

As someone who loves French cuisine, I highly recommend Angele Restaurant & Bar whenever you're in…read moreNapa, CA The restaurant perfectly captures the charm of a classic French bistro, with beautiful riverfront views, a relaxed atmosphere, and outstanding food inspired by the French countryside. Everything we ordered was fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The Niçoise salad was delicious, the escargot with crusty bread was the perfect appetizer, and the cocktails were just as enjoyable. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere made us want to stay a little longer and simply enjoy the evening. If you appreciate authentic French flavors, quality ingredients, and a beautiful setting by the Napa River, this place is absolutely worth visiting. I'll definitely be back!

First off, the food is quite nice. However, their service needs major upgrade…read more We had a large party of 15 on a Saturday night and when we made the reservation we were warned of a late charge if we show up late, no problem. As it turns out, 2 of the 15 came 15min late but we started ordering without them, so I don't think they caused much of a delay on the whole, but we were charged a late charge nonetheless. What make this experience infuriating is that they don't tell you about the late charge until I looked at the bill (on top of that they added service charge to the late charge as part of the bill)! I didn't want to make a scene with my large party, so I paid it. However after some email exchanges the next day they refunded the late charge to me.....but it does leave a sour taste in your mouth, especially how they tried to sneak it in as part of the original bill. So watch out with this place.

I'll be candid,,,when my fiancée and I first walked in, I felt a little uneasy. As women of color, we noticed a few reactions from other guests that made us feel somewhat out of place. Given the climate we live in, I simply wanted to enjoy a peaceful Friday evening with my beloved without having to wonder whether we would be treated differently. Then we met Jesus who was pouring water in the dining room. I quietly asked him whether we would be comfortable and treated well there. Without hesitation, he reassured me that everything was fine and that we had nothing to worry about. His kindness immediately helped me relax. Throughout our meal, he continued to be attentive and made sure our water glasses were filled. Then came Monica, our server and what a wonderful representative of hospitality she is. She greeted us with a genuine smile, explained the specials, gave us time with the menu and remained attentive without hovering. What impressed me most was watching her work the room. She had the same warmth, courtesy and professionalism she showed us, she showed every table. Her kindness was consistent and authentic. Good service can be hard to find these days and Monica wears hospitality beautifully. Now, the food! I ordered the ribeye with a baked potato and all the trimmings, cooked medium. My fiancée ordered the prime rib with garlic mashed potatoes and vegetables, also medium. I had a Pepsi and she had a Merlot. That ribeye was GLORIOUS tender, flavorful, perfectly cooked, pink in the middle and practically melting in my mouth. My fiancée said her prime rib was excellent as well. A great cut of meat is one thing but having a kitchen that actually knows how to prepare it exactly as ordered makes all the difference. Both dishes came out beautifully. The restaurant itself was clean, comfortable and inviting. The lighting was just right,,,not too bright and not too dark and our cushioned seating made it easy to settle in and enjoy dinner. Whatever uneasiness I felt when we first entered was ultimately outweighed by the excellent service and food. Monica and Jesus made us feel welcomed, cared for and comfortable and they deserve recognition for that. First visit, but definitely not our last. I hope Monica is our server again and I hope Jesus is there to greet us with that same kindness. Five stars for the food, service, atmosphere and especially the people who made our evening memorable.

However, we need to talk about the pre-show hostage situation. I brought my 5-year-old to see Toy Story 5. The ticket said 11:40 AM. The movie actually started at 12:06 PM. That is 26 minutes of commercials and trailers. It is blindingly obvious that whoever programs this theater either does not have children, or actively harbors a vendetta against parents. Do you know what 26 minutes feels like to a 5-year-old who has already consumed half a bag of overpriced popcorn? It is an eternity. It is the length of an entire episode of Bluey. I watched my child age two years, cycle through the five stages of grief, and nearly de-evolve into a feral state before Buzz Lightyear finally graced the screen. Cinema executives constantly wring their hands in the media, crying, "Why are theaters dying? Why is streaming killing us?" Allow me to solve the mystery: We are paying premium ticket and concession prices just to be forced to sit through a half-hour infomercial marathon before the product we actually paid for begins. If I wanted to pay top dollar to sit in a dimly lit room and wait for half an hour for something to happen, I'd go to the DMV. Clean place, sweet people, but next time, I think we'll just stay on the couch.

Juan was our server, and even at the tail end of his shift he was warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful. We grabbed a high-top by the bar, celebrating a spontaneous after-work birthday, and the setting could not have been better. The restaurant is stunning--soft lighting, elegant details, and that effortless date-night atmosphere that makes you want to linger. We went straight for the ribeye, cooked flawlessly to order, with honey-glazed carrots and truffle fries that were downright addictive. The cocktail, bright and lemon-kissed like a perfectly balanced lemon drop, tied the whole meal together. Charlie Palmer's remains one of my top steakhouse favorites--and nights like this are exactly why.

With VIP everything felt easier to navigate to, even in the mass crowds of people that can't tell their right from left. Food and drinks were wildly overpriced (as all festivals/concerts do)- but you'd hope consideration would be taken for full day (multi-day at that) festivals. Water stations were available to fill your bottle and shade was readily available in VIP, but I noticed little if any for GA. This was my first time at Bottlerock and while I really liked the artists I saw, the sound check crew seemed to need a massive overhaul Saturday and Sunday. I went to one show on the Culinary Stage but screen production was all over the place so you couldn't really see what was going on with the chefs/artists unless you were right in it. Bush played for over 20mins on the VIP Stage with muffled, quiet vocals before they could finally figure it out- and then it was the same for Kool & The Gang's start on Prudential. Music festivals, at the end of the day, are a great opportunity to experience artists you didn't even know you needed to know- so I'll be back- even with the chaos!
