We were walking in Napa and got a little thirsty. We noticed they had an outside bar. We love…read moredrinking and eating at the bar because it generally helps us meet interesting people plus the wait staff can generally push us in the right direction. We were not disappointed We started with cocktails - a New Fashioned for my husband, which he liked. I had the Ruby Refresher- a delicious tequila based drink. We were happy. We ordered East Coast oysters and they were sweet and delicious. Delicious mignonette! Next we had the Poke Bowl, which was fresh and a little spicy with perfectly cooked chips. Would definitely reorder. Last we had the burratta salad with grilled peaches - to die for. The only downside was the Pinot Noir my husband ordered (Bravium) was really flat and did not enhance our dining experience at all. Please take a look at your wine offerings. Your food is fantastic but with the wrong wine, it misses the mark.

This time around my family got similar items, but also tried out their Calamarata con calamari di Monterey, their special pizza which featured figs, and their Mamma Mia Mai Tai. Everything was so delicious! The special pizza was a bit too sweet for our liking (still enjoyed it regardless!), but I'd imagine it would've paired very well with some wine! Overall, Scala Osteria continues to provide great food and great service with a casual yet upscale vibe.

It was good, though the tomato sauce tasted a little too acidic for me. Their ragù was fantastic on a previous visit, so this dish was a bit disappointing by comparison. The salad was lovely, and I enjoyed the panna cotta. The highlight, though, was the bread, crispy on the outside, soft and light on the inside. Absolutely amazing!

Always a great time! Good food, great vibe, convenient location, and the nicest staff…read more Oysters are always fresh and come with a great mignonette sauce. Acme Bread + Butter is also fresh and tasty. Garlic Fries have the perfect amount of garlic and are cooked crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Very yummy. I've had other items from here before that were all just as delicious - some other things you should try: - Chipotle Bourbon grilled oysters - Steamed Mussels - Hog Island Clam Chowder - Rustic Seafood - Any of the Sandwiches - House-made Pickled Veggies (if you like pickled veggies) They are located at the Oxbow Public Market, so there are other goodies to check out while you are there. They have ample parking and have both indoor and outdoor seating. Dogs allowed on the patio. Would I go back? Yes, Always!!

I suggest the counter service which allows you to see the "action" from the cooking staff. We ordered the grilled oysters and steamed mussels with both being really good. The mussels were a generous portion and the broth was tasty and garlicky, not too salty. Service was efficient, nothing spectacular. They do offer a Happy Hour menu but we weren't able to take advantage of it due to the time we were there. I do think Hog Island Oyster is one of the better restaurant options inside the Oxbow Public Market.

We made a resy for 4 right before the dinner rush and it was perfect, not too crowded and the service was great. This time we tried the pork cheek, mushroom pasta, and ceviche.

The mushroom pasta was interesting , there were mushrooms that I have never tried before and the pasta was really thing and small. It reminded me of an Asian rice noodle.

The combination with the Tortilla Española was darn near a religious experience! There are lots of great restaurants in the Valley. However, there aren't many that offer the combination of complex, delicious flavors at a reasonable price that ZuZu offers. Check it out!

Five stars isn't enough…read more In a world where every restaurant seems to be chasing the latest trend, Cordeiro's reminds us why a classic steakhouse never goes out of style. From the moment we pulled into the beautifully manicured grounds (with plenty of easy parking, a surprisingly underrated luxury in Napa), the evening felt special. We arrived about 15 minutes before our reservation and settled into the stunning bar for a cocktail. The bartender was welcoming and friendly, and the bar itself deserves a moment of appreciation: gorgeous stonework, soft embedded lighting, and some of the most comfortable leather bar stools I've ever had the pleasure of lingering in. Once our friends arrived, we were immediately seated in a lovely corner table in a beautiful dining room. Then the real fun began. Every single thing we ordered was exceptional. Cocktails were expertly crafted. The pork belly and watermelon appetizer was one of those dishes that makes everyone at the table stop talking for a moment. The roasted beet salad was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully presented. And then there was the service. Our team, Jose and Zach, struck that perfect balance between polished professionalism and genuine warmth. Our group tends to be a little cheeky, and they were great sports, engaging with us throughout the evening and making the experience feel personal without ever missing a beat. Fresh rolls appeared, accompanied by enough butter to satisfy even this butter-loving crowd (a detail that should never be underestimated). For entrees, we enjoyed a perfectly cooked filet mignon with savory cheesy potatoes with asparagus and carrots, an outstanding pork chop, a sea bass special, and a swordfish dish with each earning rave reviews around the table. Every plate was beautifully executed. No gimmicks. No unnecessary flourishes. Just incredibly well-prepared food made with care and confidence. What I appreciate most about Cordeiro's is that it knows exactly what it is. This isn't a flashy, see-and-be-seen downtown Napa dining experience with eye-watering prices and culinary gymnastics. It's something far better: a timeless steakhouse delivering exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and an atmosphere that encourages you to settle in, relax, and enjoy the people you're with. As if the evening couldn't get any better, Bashar stopped by our table and spent time chatting with us about the property, its history, and the incredible effort that goes into maintaining the grounds. He was an absolute delight. He even rolled over a beautiful cordial cart and helped us finish the evening with port, salted caramel liqueur, and an another other after-dinner treat that provided the perfect finale. I was dining with three true local Napa folks who had attended various events at Cordeiro's over the years, and it was fun hearing their stories and connections to the place. By the end of the night, all four of us were smiling, already talking about when we'd return. Great food. Great people. Great atmosphere. Cordeiro's isn't trying to be the newest thing in Napa. It's busy being one of the best.

We had a really lovely experience at Ristorante Allegria…read more They start out with a bread and red onion sauce - it was really unique, a little sweet which was unexpected. Our hotel gave us a little card for a free appetizer, which turned out to be a little fried polenta with gorgonzola and basalmic over marinara. A great bite to start. I wanted a salad and our server Mike recommended the Napa Cabbage salad and I'm glad he did. It was probably the most decadent salad I've ever had - there was so much bacon and I loved the mushrooms and grilled prawns. My husband had the filet with the gorgonzola butter and really loved it, especially the mashed potatoes. Only bummer was the broccoli was super crunchy. Probably the best part was the dessert. I had the lavender and orange creme brûlée and my husband had the bread pudding. You can get it with ice cream and he got his on the side - he was glad because he really got to enjoy the texture and flavor of the warm bread pudding. Mike and the team provided excellent service and everyone was really friendly. It's an interesting old building, a former bank, and if you want to you can reserve their vault dining room. Highly recommended.

Once I got the text that my table for 1 was ready, I was thrilled to finally try some authentic Italian food since it had been a while. The hospitality and service were phenomenal! As soon as I ordered my appetizer and entrée, the server brought out complimentary bread with dipping oil made with olive oil, shallots, and garlic. It was magnificent and definitely got me ready for the meal. I ordered the meatballs as my appetizer, and they asked if I wanted Parmesan cheese on top. I quickly said YES. The host and I were laughing because they said, "Don't be shy now, I can give you more!" Needless to say, I had a good amount of cheese dandruff covering my meatballs, and it was absolutely flavorful and delicious. When my ravioli came out, we had the exact same interaction with the Parmesan, and I was cracking up! The last time I had ravioli was back in October of last year, and I must say, this was probably the best ravioli I've had so far. The portion wasn't overwhelmingly large, but it was more than enough for me to do some damage. The entrée was packed with flavor, and I completely cleaned my plate. Overall, this was such a fun and cool experience. The food was delicious, the service was welcoming, and the little interactions made the meal even more memorable. After I finished eating, an older gentleman even came by and gave me a piece of candy! Definitely a great spot to check out if you're in Napa and craving some Italian food.

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!
