    Salmon and everything bagel with mimosa
    James M.

    AZ was welcoming and professional. Our breakfast was the most important part of our day. It started with a phenomenal view. Looking from left to right just breath taking. Then you enter into the dinning room... beautiful. Glass from floor to ceiling with a 180 degree view of the vineyard. We enjoyed smoked salmon, corn beef hash (SO YUM) and breakfast sandwich (best with the butter they offer). This Hill Top resultant is available to those staying at Carneros. This was a great start to our day or anyone's day

    Great brunch and service. A tad pricey but is to be expected at a resort facility. Meals were presented beautifully and food tasted as it should be.

    Fish tacos

    Great service, great views, great food. We ordered chips and guac, fish tacos, a chicken wrap, and brussel sprouts. The food was delicious and you get a beautiful pool side view overlooking Napa. I have to recommend the brussel sprouts, they were my favorite dish!!

    Unfortunately you can only eat here if you're staying at the Carneros Inn but it's a good alternative to eating at Boon Fly. Actually, I prefer Hilltop as it's much less crowded, a fantastic view, and the food is almost as good. Over two breakfasts, we enjoyed a fair amount of the menu: Sunrise bowl: Scrambled eggs, black beans, fresh avocado, cheese, scallions, and brown rice in a bowl. Healthy and good. Two eggs (any style) with toast and hashbrowns: You can get creative, if you want, since there are lots of choices for fillings. Once the hashbrowns came much later without explanation. Bagel, cream cheese, and lox: A huge portion of lox. Not a bad choice after a night with one too many glasses of wine. Eggs benedict over hashbrowns (instead of an english muffin): Great idea, ok execution. In my opinion, the hollandaise sauce needed a little more kick (maybe more lemon and cayenne). When we were there, the espresso machine was broken but the regular coffee was pretty good. In general, the servers are nice but service is uneven. But the view - wow. If you can, eat outside.

    Chai Latte & cinnamon roll to start
    Melissa L.

    Stepped up to the "Hilltop" dining room for breakfast before heading out for a bike ride. It over looks the pool and hillsides, but it was a bit chilly in the morning, so we opted to sit inside. We were greeted & seated quickly. Ordered a chai latte. And then waters and cinnamon rolls were brought, on the house. Cinnamon roll had been recently drizzled with the glaze. Between my chai latte & roll, I was suffering sugar overload. Ordered the eggs Benedict for breakfast. Hit the spot and I was ready to bike the vineyards. Service was excellent and the dining room provides a serene atmosphere, to sip your coffee while reading the morning paper or chit chatting.

    Yes, you must be staying at the Carneros Inn to eat here. Everything about this restaurant was perfect. The view - panoramic view of the country side from inside or outside next to the pool is unbeatable. It creates a very relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere right from the start. The food - I have to admit I got the french toast 3 days in a row, it was that good. It has berries, whip cream, and real maple syrup. I also got the bacon, ham, and potatoes which were all great. They give you - choice of 2 drinks and 1 or 2 sides, depending on your entree choice. The orange juice and coffee were both great. Lastly, the service was always friendly and quick. Couldn't ask for more...

    You must stay at the resort to eat here. Food and drinks are pretty good but not exceptional. Standard high end hotel California cuisine. Service however is exceptional and the view is worth every penny.

They give you an order number, and you then go find a table and they will bring you it. If you ordered a drink after the check out counter you can grab your drink. Here's what we ordered for the 3 of us which was plenty! Superfood bowl $15 (5/5) This was super refreshing. The mix of the cut up, strawberries, apples, blueberries, nuts, coconut flakes, chia, and dried fruits over yogurt and passionfruit honey. I mean that tasted SUPER and wayyy delicious medley together. Pork Belly Loco Moco $22 (5/5) OMG get this! And don't forget to upgrade to garlic rice ($2 more) and add you can add avocado ($4 if you want lil pricey butttt just do it since you are trying to balance out the healthy in this dish). Braised soft pork belly pieces, with 2 runny eggs and fried rice and mix it all up together. Monkey Bread $7 (4/5) Yes, this is what we saw on the counter. Me being a fatty stopped myself from getting extra donuts but maybe next time. You can pull apart the pieces to share. The top had a nice chocolate topping and inside was chewy sweetness. Fresh OJ $8 (4/5) Fresh, so like freshly squeeze thus the high price. Good for you. Large Coffee with 4 shots Americano $5.50 (4/5) Can go wrong with a wake me up coffeeeeeeeeeee Would definitely come back to try the other dishes when were in town.

Bay Area and had heard plenty of positive reviews, so we were genuinely excited to finally try it. One thoughtful touch is that La Cheve provides umbrellas for guests waiting in line, which is especially appreciated when you're standing outside under the sun. It's a small gesture, but one that shows the restaurant has put some thought into making the waiting experience a little more comfortable. They also offer the option to order coffee through a QR code while waiting in line. I ordered a large black coffee, while my partner ordered a café con leche. Unfortunately, it took about 25 minutes for the drinks to be ready. When we picked them up, the café con leche was served in the same large cup as my coffee--but it was only half full, with roughly a quarter cup of coffee and another quarter consisting of foam. It felt odd drinking from a large half-full cup. Once we reached the counter, though, we were greeted with a warm smile, which was appreciated. We ordered the chilaquiles with an addition of Al Pastor meat, the asada and eggs, the concha French toast, a cronut, the house lager, and a local craft beer. it took approximately an hour and a half from the time we got in line until we were finally seated. By that point, we were more than ready to eat, and despite the long wait, we were still excited to see what the kitchen could do. Unfortunately, that excitement faded quickly once the food arrived. The concha French toast was a big disappointment. The menu description had immediately caught our attention, and we expected something that combined the richness and texture of French toast with the distinctive character of a concha. Instead, we received four small, shortcake-style pieces of bread that were dry and didn't particularly resemble either French toast or a concha. There was no noticeable cinnamon-egg batter, nor any powdered sugar. The dish was served with fresh berries and a side of cajeta ( a craft caramel sauce). The caramel itself was delicious, but it wasn't enough to make up for the lackluster bread. The chilaquiles were the biggest disappointment, and unfortunately, this dish had several execution issues altogether. The tortilla chips were soggy, lacking the texture you'd expect from well-executed chilaquiles. I also ordered the dish with Al Pastor meat, hoping to get a taste of the restaurant's house adobo. Instead, what arrived was a measly portion of tiny pieces and crumbs of meat that appeared to be mostly the remnants from the bottom of the pan. Then there was the oil. There was an excessive amount of it-- so much that a pool had collected in one corner of the plate (see picture below). I actually had to ask the server for extra paper napkins so I could soak up the oil. It was difficult to appreciate the pastor's seasoning or adobo from the oily portion that I was served. The eggs were another example of inconsistency with this plate. I specifically ordered them over medium, expecting set whites with a warm, runny yolk. Instead, the eggs were cooked very unevenly. One was noticeably overcooked, while the other was so thoroughly cooked that the yolk had essentially been obliterated. For a dish that relies on relatively simple ingredients, getting something as fundamental as the eggs right should be a given. My partner's asada and eggs wasn't terrible, per say. However, the dish consisted primarily of bell peppers, a blob of melted cheese, and some asada meat-- the kind you get with regular asada tacos. On the other hand, the biscuits that accompanied the dish, were a genuine highlight. We particularly enjoyed the jalapeño and cheese filling, which gave them a nice savory kick. Thankfully, the bakery items and beer showed us where La Cheve really shines. The house lager was crisp, refreshing, and very enjoyable, while the cronut was downright scrumptious. These were the kinds of items that reminded us why we had been so excited to visit in the first place. Ultimately, La Cheve feels like a restaurant with two very different personalities. The bakery side is impressive, while the savory kitchen needs considerably more attention to execution and consistency. If I were judging the bakery alone, I'd happily give it around 4.5 stars The cronut, biscuits, caramel, and house beer all showed plenty of promise. But the brunch dishes need work--particularly when it comes to texture, portioning, cooking temperatures, and consistency. We came in eager to understand what had generated so much enthusiasm for La Cheve. There are certainly some very good things happening here, and thoughtful touches like the umbrellas for guests waiting in line make a difference. But based on our visit, the kitchen still has some significant kinks to work out before the savory menu matches the promise of the bakery.

The side of fried chicken was a must after seeing it was their claim to fame. It was slightly dry but seasoned incredibly well. The highlight, decor-wise, was their superhero-themed restroom. The walls were full of every Marvel and DC character you could imagine. Every time my wife and I travel we always try to find a place that we'd revisit. Sunshine Cafe will be that spot in Napa.

Unfortunately, on this visit, the service never quite caught up with the food. We stopped in for a business breakfast and waited longer than expected simply to be acknowledged, despite plenty of open tables. Once greeted, our waiter promised us a "great seat," then somewhat puzzlingly placed us at a table directly beside the front door. With much of the dining room available, it was an odd choice for two people settling in for a business conversation. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with breakfast potatoes, orange juice, and coffee. The juice arrived, followed by the meal, but the coffee apparently decided to sleep in. I eventually had to ask for it. Fortunately, the Benedict was the highlight. The eggs were nicely prepared, the Canadian bacon flavorful, and the English muffin had just the right crispness underneath. The hollandaise was smooth and pleasantly tangy, with a subtle touch of lemon that brightened the entire dish. My only request: be a little more generous with it. A good Benedict deserves enough hollandaise to cascade over the edges of the English muffin and leave a little behind for that final bite, or two, to drag through the sauce. The potatoes had decent seasoning and plenty of flavor, but the texture fell short. They were quite soft, without the crisp, golden exterior that would have taken them from ordinary to memorable. The biggest disappointment, however, was the service. After seating us, our waiter essentially disappeared. There was no check-back after the food arrived, no water or coffee refill, and no inquiry as to whether we needed anything else. At the end of the meal, I had to flag him down for the check and then again to pay it. Attentive service doesn't need to be intrusive, but it does need to be present. Petit Soleil has a lot going for it, and the Benedict demonstrated that the kitchen can deliver. But in Napa, where hospitality is every bit as important as what lands on the plate, good food deserves service to match. On this morning, the Benedict showed up. The hospitality didn't.

I came in today to pick up a pie that I had ordered over the phone, and unfortunately, what should have been a simple pickup turned into an extremely disappointing experience. When I called to place my order, the person I spoke with told me the pie would be $35. However, when I arrived to pick it up, I was charged $45. My receipt clearly shows that I was charged $45 for a "Whole peach blackberry pie." I understand that prices can change or mistakes can happen, but if a customer is quoted one price when placing an order, any difference should at least be explained at pickup. To make matters worse is when I cut the pie, it was not the peach blackberry pie I had ordered. As shown in my second photo, what I received is an old fashioned Apple pie instead. So not only was I charged $10 more than the price I was quoted over the phone, I did not even receive the pie that I ordered and paid for. In addition, The person who was taking orders and working as the cashier was also extremely rude, dismissive, and unwelcoming. I initially did not catch her name, but according to my receipt, the server/cashier was Kelly F. For identification purposes, she was a younger woman with extensive tattoos. What makes this even more disappointing is that this is now the third time I have encountered this same employee, and each time I have experienced the same rude and unfriendly demeanor. After three separate encounters, it is difficult to simply chalk it up to someone having a bad day. There was no sense of friendliness, professionalism, or basic customer service during my interaction with her. Anyone working directly with customers should understand that the way customers are spoken to and treated reflects directly on the business. At this point, I genuinely feel that the business owner should consider assigning her to a position in the back where she does not have to interact directly with customers. If customer service is not her strength, having her at the front interacting with customers reflects poorly on the business and can leave people with a negative impression regardless of the quality of the food. Between being quoted $35, charged $45, receiving the wrong pie, and once again experiencing rude customer service, this entire experience was unacceptable. After three encounters with the same type of customer service, I finally felt it was necessary to leave a review. Management really needs to address this. Based on my experience, I would give zero stars if Yelp allowed it.
