We were also lucky enough to meet the chef who with his wife started the restaurant just about a year ago. They're just as warm as the rest of their team! Really looking forward to going back next time we're in Charlotte.

Both were excellent and very creative. Grapes on the chicken, it worked. To full for dessert but we definitely found a nice and nearby date night spot.

I really appreciated the option to purchase a "taste" of the different wines/sparklings. Most places you go to you have to get a glass and hope you like it. I also loved the charcuterie board because it was a create your own meat and cheeses. They also had other snacks and treats to choose from. I will definitely be back to try more wines and for another great experience.

This time, my Sangria was awesome...meaning, it had a ton of fruit (Mango?), and the Red Wine even had a sweet flavor to it. In the past, it was a fruitless Sangria...which was very disappointing. My husband liked his Pinot Noir too. For appetizer, we tried this small Hummus plate, which came with this Dip and Olives...all of which were amazing, especially for its friendly pricing. The place was also nicely air conditioned, with great overhead music. The only downfall was that there wasn't a waiter/waitress. This bartender had to do it all, it seems. He was friendly, and did it well...but thought they could use a waiter/waitress, given the number of folks waiting to be served. In any case, thought I should bump up the ratings to 4 stars. This place is a Must-Have at this Riverwalk location (a perfect pitstop after a long walk!), so I hope it continues to thrive.

I can definitely say that this one is just as amazing! I've always been a big fan of their board and bottle deal and my favorite wine at Postino's is their Perfekt wine. It's perfect! If it's your first time here, you definitely have to try the bruschetta because it's the best I've had. You'll get to choose four different types among your board. My favorite bruschettas are the prosciutto and fig, the smoked salmon, the burrata, and the apple and brie. I also recommend the skewers. They are always cooked to perfection. If you're not the biggest wine aficionado, they also have cocktails and beers (and of course water, soda, mocktails). I believe they still do a special for beer pitchers and they have a good draft list.

The atmosphere and the view were absolutely beautiful, the food was amazing, and the drinks were fantastic. Our server, Yeti, was outstanding. He was incredibly attentive to detail, explained the menu so well, had so much patience with us, and suggested wonderful dishes for us to try. You can really tell he cares about giving guests a great experience. I was a little worried that because it was Mother's Day we might feel rushed, but not at all. Everything felt relaxed, welcoming, and thoughtfully paced. The manager was also so friendly and kind, which made the experience even more special. We left so impressed and happy. I would recommend this place 100 times over, and I definitely can't wait to come back -- and ask for Yeti again! Wow... just amazing!

Very disappointed in what Napa has become…read more. I am never one to post things like this because I work in the service industry. I know people and places have their off days and am very understanding. With that said, I'm actually appalled with the way my parents were treated at Napa today on their anniversary. Back story- I ate at Napa 6 years ago for my prom dinner in a large group and everything was great, so i recommended they go there. Unfortunately for them, there's been major changes and apparently for the worse. They came in and were offered a toast for their anniversary. They were the only table in there and service already seemed pretty slow. After receiving the complimentary wine and bread, they asked about the mussels. The server came back a while later (again no one else to be served in there) and told them the mussels needed to be shucked and couldn't be served... I feel like I don't even have to explain why that seems like a blatant lie, when specifically Napa's mussels are served in the shell (steamed) and not shucked. I could be wrong about that, I don't work in Napa's kitchen, but the real problem was after that. The server then never came back after 20-30 minutes. My parents sat there debating "should we leave, should we stay?"... Ultimately deciding to leave, they ran into the server on the way out. To keep the peace, they told him that something came up and they had to go. This server, knowing it was their anniversary, and knowing he just blatantly ignored them, responded with "yeah we already heard y'all talking about it" ?????? I'm sorry, what? You knew they were wondering where you were at, overheard them talking about it, and never went back over to do your job? Absolutely unacceptable and I am so truly embarrassed to have recommended Napa to them. This was their 2nd anniversary and they wanted to try something new. They originally had reservations at The Pump House, and those were canceled because of the weather. I told them they could try Napa, it's owned by the same people, and I had a great experience. Like I said, I know people and places have off days, but there is no fixing this experience for them. They never want to go back after being treated like they weren't wanted. Feels like a problem from the top down. I hope no one else's anniversaries are ruined because of managers who aren't paying attention to the floor they're supposed to be running. Edited - They are not still owned by the same people, but that is what I had thought originally when recommending.

We chatted with Mike, one of the owners, for hours, and chatted up several parties of folks who were there to make their own fun afternoons. The drinks were fabulous. My friend had the mimosa flight which she raved about, and I had a few glasses of a delicious red Mike had recommended (which I also bought a bottle of for home). It was just the afternoon we needed and cannot wait to come back again!
