    Came in on a Saturday night with reservations. We were greeted and seated quickly. The employees were friendly and made sure to answer any questions we had. To start, we got the calamari which was good and fried to perfection. We also got the Mac n cheese and I got the burger with fries for my main. The Mac n cheese was delicious and perfect for sharing. The burger was good as well, but by that time I was so full. Our waters were filled constantly and I overall felt so welcomed but the employees. I will definitely be coming back!

    Relaxed environment with excellent food menu in general. Started with the calamari appetizer which was perfectly fried and calamari was tender, served with two sauce that elevated the calamari. I would come back just for this appetizer. We ordered fish & chips ( substituted onion rings)- perfectly fried, light and piping hot. ... and Rueben sandwich; It was good but may need a tastier rye bread. Butterscotch pudding dessert did not disappoint. In fact, it was better than I expected. Great friendly service- very attentive.

    Oysters, Calamari, and prawns

    Went in for dinner and caught a little bit of the Happy Hour. The Pomegranate martini was okay. The adult mac and cheese was like what I make at home. The Chicken Parm was good. The fish and chips was underwhelming, as was the Calamari. The service was excellent (John?). The prawns were great. Happy hour oysters for a buck were great. Cute and relaxed atmosphere.

    Some restaurants impress you once. Others become part of your life. Market belongs firmly in the second category. Nearly two decades into its run, it stands not as a trend, but as a fixture--steady, welcoming, and deeply woven into the rhythm of downtown Napa Valley life. Walking into Market feels less like entering a restaurant and more like being recognized. The staff knows your name, remembers your usual drink, asks how things have been going. There's an ease to it--unforced, genuine--that can't be trained overnight. It's the kind of familiarity that only comes from years of showing up, doing things right, and caring about the people on both sides of the table. The room itself reinforces that feeling. Banquette seating invites you to settle in. Tall ceilings and stone walls give the space presence without making it formal. The bar glows in darker, comforting tones--wood, bottles, soft amber light--like a living room that happens to pour excellent drinks. It's comfortable in the truest sense: relaxed, grounded, confident. Polished, but never precious. And then there's the food--quietly exceptional, in the way that only honest cooking can be. Market's dishes feel like home cooking perfected. Not reinvented, not overworked--just deeply understood. The kind of food that tastes like someone cooked it for you because they wanted you to enjoy it, not because they wanted applause. The macaroni and cheese is a perfect example. It's famously referred to as "macaroni and cheese for adults," and it earns that title without trying. Creamy but not greasy, rich but not heavy, structured without turning stiff. It's balanced, comforting, and thoughtful. A dish everyone thinks they can make--until they taste this one and realize how rarely it's done well. There's a reason it's been on the menu since day one. Then there's the fish and chips, another classic that Market quietly elevates. Instead of the heavy, crunchy batter that often overwhelms the fish, theirs is light and tender, allowing the fish itself to shine. Paired with a beautifully made house tartar sauce, it's familiar yet refined--comfort food that respects its ingredients. And no conversation about Market is complete without mentioning the butterscotch pudding. It's one of those desserts people chase--trying to recreate elsewhere, usually unsuccessfully. Light, silky, and deeply satisfying without being cloying, it arrives nestled in a homemade waffle-style cup, topped with fresh whipped cream. It's indulgent but gentle, nostalgic without being old-fashioned. A dessert that feels like a hug at the end of the meal. Beyond those standouts, the menu offers something for everyone. Burgers that satisfy without pretense. Lighter options that don't feel like compromises. Heartier dishes when the day calls for it. Everything is made with care, using quality ingredients, prepared with consistency and confidence. Whether you're there for a casual business lunch, a relaxed dinner with friends, a first date, or an evening away from the kids, Market knows how to hold space for the moment. What truly sets Market apart, though, is the culture behind the scenes. Chef Ernesto and his team have built something lasting--not just a menu, but a workplace where people are proud of what they do. You see it in the way the staff communicates, supports one another, and moves through service with calm assurance. There's no tension, no rush for show. Just quiet competence and mutual respect. That care extends outward, and you feel it as a guest. It's why people keep coming back. It's why the restaurant has endured while others have come and gone. Market doesn't chase novelty--it offers reliability, warmth, and excellence, night after night. In a region known for innovation and reinvention, Market stands as a reminder that consistency, heart, and hospitality never go out of style. It belongs exactly where it is, and it feels like it always has. This is the kind of place you return to tomorrow--not because you're searching for something new, but because you already know you'll be well taken care of.

    Good service and it wasn't crowded for Saturday lunch. The decore was nice and seating was comfortable. Food was good but nothing to die for.

    03012025 Omg - highly recommend this spot! It was our first time dining here for lunch (definitely make reservations just in case!) and the staff were all so friendly! That's kinda rare nowadays since how many staff are overworked and burned. Our server (I forgot his name - he was bald) but oh so funny and friendly! He gave his speech re specialties and gave us recommendations. Girlfriends and I had cocktails to get our shindig started. 2 of us had the blood orange Manhattan (wow - it was made so good - subtle and delish!) and the other cocktail I forgot what my friend got. Nonetheless she too loved her cocktail. My two friends shared the arugula salad and I had a cup of their Dungeness crab bisque. The soup was creamy and just right in taste. For our mains - it was a specialty of the day: hanger steak. Our server was describing it to us, my friends and I were all sold! We all opted to get medium rare and it was made to perfection. The asparagus were not over cooked and the truffle mashed potatoes had the right amount of truffle oil that it wasn't overpowering. We rushed through having the butterscotch pudding (which was again recommended by our server) and indeed it was delicious. The prices are decent for Napa. Will definitely visit again and I hope their quality stays same until then!

    Decent size dining room with some cool history particularly about the bar. Thanks to our wonderful server Alfie who gave us the whole spiel about the restaurant and the menu. I appreciate little touches like black napkins for those wearing dark clothing. I enjoyed all the food. The tuna tartare and the salad were delicious and the mac n cheese had great flavor. The fish was good, but the batter was a bit soft, wish it was crispier. The gnocchi also had a bit too much flour I think, the texture was chewer and more cakey than most gnocchi I've had.

    Dining here was one of our favorite parts of our trip to wine country. This isn't just a restaurant--it's a place full of heart, warmth, and genuine hospitality. From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were being welcomed into someone's home(shout out to Alfie) The food was thoughtful and delicious--beautifully prepared, with seasonal ingredients that really celebrate the region. Every dish felt like it had a story behind it. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in their craft. What really stood out, though, was the atmosphere. The owner is so present and clearly loves his team--you can feel the mutual respect and care in every interaction. There's a sense of joy and pride here that's rare and refreshing. If you're looking for a place that's soulful, genuine, and deeply connected to the community, this is it. A true St. Helena treasure.

    Excellent, long time local favorite with different takes and tastes on favorite foods. The long, narrow, high ceiling and rock walls make for a loud setting. The Oysters are fresh and tasty. The Lobster roll is artful, enhanced by thoroughly mixing and drizzling the vin. The Salmon was perfectly done . Try the suggested plates like the Scallops. Even desserts innovate with the Brûlée Banana Split, though there was too much ice cream, hiding the delight. There is a full bar and an extensive,, Cabernet heavy, local wine list. Service is good but stretched, with long time waitstaff.

    Another visit to this go to spot for us. Came alone and was seated at a nice table close to the front. Nice salad to start and great halibut entree.

    Solid classics. Easy street parking. Good food & service. My friends enjoyed their BBQ and fried chicken. I liked my prime rib. Complimentary bread is always a winner. The molten lava cake was room temp and I wish it was served warmer for that oooey gooey chocolate filling to ooze out, but it was too room temp and not as satisfying as it could have been. However, the cake paired with hazelnut gelato was sooo good. I was full but couldn't stop eating it! This isn't a place I would drive out of my way for, but it is solid and if I'm the area I will definitely be back.

    Ordered their Cobb Salad. Healthy style but delicious. Broccoli, tomatoes ,egg, peas, bacon, Bleu cheese, carrots, was really good. I would order again. Topped wit a glass of Rose.Service is great a great place for lunch or dinner. Ambiance is intimate as well .

    I think it was 20.00. We brought our own wine it wasn't a problem for them to open it!

Ive seen this kind of surcharge tactic in San Francisco, but seeing it here is deeply disappointing. I won't be back for this exact reason. Pay your staff fairly, manage your menu prices accordingly, and stop passing the buck onto your customers.

The most ridiculous thing I've ever heard that they don't want to make their customers happy and simply take a salad to the back and chop it for them Not only that, but the attitude of both the Chef and the manager were as if they were too good to cut some lettuce and there was no apology or anything to try and make us happy... I simply returned the salad and did not eat it... The menu here is very odd as well a weird assortment of stuff and not a lot to choose from... The atmosphere is mediocre at best... Be careful if you're choosing to go here because it took a long time to drive here and almost $60 in an Uber and it was not worth the drive. My recommendation to them... Buy a nice sharp knife so you can cut salad for people

Can't wait to come back sometime soon. ------ FOOD 1. [MUST TRY] BREAKFAST SANDWICH (5/5) I think the best breakfast sandwich we've ever had. The croissant was perfect: beautiful shape, expert lamination, extremely buttery taste, and super crispy from potentially an additional bake before becoming a sandwich. The egg was a fluffy souffle-type. Cheese and aioli were great, but most importantly, the sausage was EXCEPTIONAL. It was oddly shaped which is how you know it's a freshly-made sausage patty vs. a store-bought / freezer section sausage. 2. [MUST TRY] COCOA QUENELLE (5/5) One of the best chocolate desserts we had in Napa, and a chocolate lover's dream. The chocolate tart crust has an excellent chocolate flavor and is the kind with a very satisfying snap when you break it. The chocolate mousse covers a layer of thicker chocolate and a pool of salted caramel at the base of the tart. It's garnished with a chantilly cream quenelle on top with some candied nuts and cocoa nibs. Not only is this beautiful, but this is delicious. A must-have the next time I'm here. 3. [MUST TRY] SALMON RILLET (5/5) Super unique and high protein. Flattened and fried salmon skins that serve as your "chip". The "dip" is this lean trout + creme fraiche mixture topped with a layer of trout roe. The dip is on the leaner side vs. creamy side, so the salmon skin isn't hard enough to actually dip in the mixture. Better to use a fork to scoop the dip onto the salmon skin. 4. AVOCADO TOAST (4.5/5) Not my usual choice but the employee raved about this item. The avocado and kosho are mashed together into a smooth mousse that's then piped onto a great slice of sourdough. The acidity and kick of the kosho really shone through, making this better than most other avo toasts I've tried. 5. WAGYU SKEWERS (4/5) Two skewers with 3 pieces of wagyu each. The wagyu was good with flavorful salsa verde, but some pieces were a little tough. 6. GARDEN SALAD (4/5) Great, bright, simple salad. Large portion, great for some greens on the table! 7. BRIOCHE TART (3.5/5) Reminded me of a Czech kolache -- essentially a danish but instead of a puff pastry dough, it's a soft brioche bread. The center had a cream cheese and raspberry filling. While the filling was delicious and the brioche was nice, there was a bit too big of a brioche-to-filling ratio for my personal preference. 8. PAIN SUISSE (2/5) Given the ham, cheese, and mustard, felt like a play on a cubano. While the flavors were there, the pastry was unfortunately a bit dense and lacked the buttery, flakey layers I was hoping for. I asked for this to be warmed up, which they happily accommodated, but strangely the ham inside was actually cold, even after being in the oven. ------ ENVIRONMENT / AMBIANCE: * Beautiful cafe right next to the fabulous PRESS Restaurant in St. Helena. Essentially, it's on the road toward downtown but without the traffic of having to enter the downtown area. * Huge parking lot so parking is convenient and shouldn't be an issue * Both a large outdoor area with several different tables and high-top seats, as well as indoor seating (though only a few two-person high top tables and a handful of lower stool seats) * Overall the style is bright, colorful, and perfect for a girls trip, breakfast/lunch with friends, and quick stop for a coffee and pastry ------ SERVICE: * Surprisingly hit or miss. There was a gentleman here whom I interacted with the most who was absolutely wonderful and a joy to chat with. Similarly, another woman who seemed important was very kind. But a couple other employees were expressionless toward me. * Some items were ready surprisingly quickly while others took a surprisingly slow time to come out. For example, the breakfast sandwich and salmon rillets were super speedy. But then the wagyu and avo toast took 20-30 minutes to come out. Similarly, when I asked for the pan suisse to be heated up, it took over 10 minutes for them to do so.

    Normally we aren't in St Helena long enough to goof off but this last Napa outing we booked a…read morehotel there because we didn't want to go home yet and everything else was booked closer to Napa. As a Hyatt member was able to use points instead of selling my Audi to pay for a one night stay. So the next morning, where to go? After a quick breakfast we ended up at The Saint for cocktails. At first we didn't think it was open since it was early and no one was in there. Upon entry it is clear this isn't a dive bar. A few high tops as you enter to the left and a nice long bar with and table against the right wall. This building takes you back to 1890 or so when it was originally a bank. I wonder how many times it was robbed at gun point and the bad boys rode off on horses with the cash??? Many of the light fixtures are original from the same time. It has a bank vault as every good bank should. But since this is a bar the vault is more a private area with seating. Since we just had a late breakfast we only had drinks. Not sure but I'm pretty sure Andrea had a Lemon Drop and I know for sure I had tequila and lime. While we were there a few high tops filled up with Chardonnay drinking ladies getting away from the family (kids and partners) for the day. And a couple of different couples being tourist. I know, I know technically we are tourist but we've spent so much time here over the years we don't feel like tourist and back in the day not long ago many people thought we lived there. Our bartender was great about explaining the details about the bank building and it's history along with a tour. Next time we are in St. Helena we will definitely be back. Actually may make a special trip from Napa just to go there.

    What a great find in St. Helena! We discovered The Saint…read morejust passing by during our latest trip to the Napa Valley last month. 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. Beyond the vault door, there is a speakeasy-style dining room that would be absolutely perfect for a private event. 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. Downtown St. Helena is a bit out of the way of our usual stops in Napa, but I would make a special trip for this spot again.
