    Prior to wine tasting a good root beer to quench my thirst
    Susan S.

    As we headed to wine taste in St. Helena we made a sharp left turn into Mustards Grill for lunch. Kristie the hostess was so kind to find us a great table after waiting a few minutes since we didn't have reservations. The place was hopping. Mustards grill has a true California wine country feel. All seating is close to each other. The chatter is loud but acceptable because this place must be a landmark by now. It opened in the 1980's and still going strong. We ordered the Ahi burger it was delicious and it came with large amount of fries we also ordered 2 non-alcoholic sodas that went well with the meal. The portion was great we skipped dessert but observed others and they serve hefty portions of dessert. Maybe next time. Mustards Grill is a very Joyful restaurant, perhaps with all the yellow decor, it shines like the sun. All employees were great from Kristie, Eliana, 2 bussers and our waitress which I didn't catch her name til I saw it on the receipt. We will be back with a favorite bottle of Napa wine of our choice. They charge a $35 corkage fee or an endless wine list. Put since we live in Wine Country we know our wines.

    The sign on the front of the store does not lie. Get the pork chops or you'll regret it. Seriously, where do I even start? The pork chop melts in your mouth like butter. Cooked perfectly, with beautiful char marks and incredible juiciness, every bite bursts with flavor. It honestly felt like I was eating the pork chop version of köttbullar. Look it up kids. The perfect bite was a mash-up of potatoes, pork chop, and cabbage. See what I did there? Mash-up. I'll be here all day. And I can't forget the onion straws. OMG. Crispy, lightly salted -- just enough to keep you reaching for more without overdoing it. Absolute perfection. I'm already picturing myself sitting at the bar enjoying this meal again. Make reservations. I got lucky snagging a bar seat, but the place was packed -- and for good reason. If I lived in the area, this spot would feel like home. Take my advice and check this place out. Cheers!

    Finally we got to try this place. We didn't have a reservation but they still accommodated us. But next time I will make a reservation. Ambiance was great. Staff were friendly. Our server was helpful. Now for the food. The calamari were delicious. It's like a calamari salad. We loved the cornbread. It was also delicious. The Ahi sandwich was ok. Overall our experience was good. We will definitely be back.

    We decided to go to Napa/St Helena for the after the holidays on a Funday Sunday! We drove all around through all of our favorite wineries. After all the fun, we chose Mustards Grill before heading home. When we arrived, we noticed an archway with a Christmas tree in the middle. We stopped to admire a beautiful garden. There is an area that looked like the outdoor garden dining. We said we needed to come back when it warms up to enjoy a meal with a beautiful view! As we entered, we were greeted with a smile and cheerful voice. At first, we were offered a seat in the bar area. We opted to wait for a table. There's nothing wrong with the bar area. We just needed a more comfortable seating for our bad backs!! We ordered the famous Mongolian Pork Chop and the Swordfish Tostada. Both meals were delicious. The sweet and sour red cabbage was excellent and a nice compliment to the pork chop. Our server was kind and helpful with all of our questions. He checked in and refilled our glass like clockwork. Overall, a very nice experience. We will come back and try other menu options soon. Ample parking. Friendly staff.

    LOVED this place! We were on a Girl's trip to Napa and one in our group had been here more than 20 years ago and every time we drove by, she said, "we've got to go there!" Well reservations were tough to get so we made this our final lunch stop as we were heading out of Napa to the airport. We were promptly seated and began to look at the menu. Our server, Dana, was great and when she saw us eyeballing all the other tables to see what looked good- she suggested we just order a range of things and share. And that's exactly what we did! We had the Ahi and crackers, ribs, wings, onion rings, and tamales and a truffle tart for dessert. All came up quickly and all were delicious although know before you go that the onion rings are more like onion strings so it you are expecting thick onion rings you may be disappointed. Throw in a few drinks and we were happy campers! I'm definitely going to put Mustards Grill at the top of my list the next time I am in Napa! It is definitely a place both locals and tourists head to.

    This was a good place to get something to before our afternoon of wine tasting began. We got some tasty food in a timely fashion. The cornbread was delightful and should not be missed.

    I love their interesting menu items. I went with the Quail and Duck. Delicious! I had the Lemon/Lime tart with a mile high meringue for dessert.

    Cheers from Napa!

    I love Mustards Grill for these three reasons: The food is so delicious, the food is so delicious, and lastly the food is so delicious!;) Since 1983 Cindy P. has been welcoming guests to world famous Napa Valleys Mustards Grill. Delicious food, elevated customer service, and ambiance like no other. Without question one of my favorite restaurants in Napa Valley. We recently celebrated a friend's milestone birthday and, of course, she chose Mustards Grill as her place to eat. She loves it too. When you open the doors to enter Mustards, you instantly hear the familiar sounds of happy chatting, laughing, and being greeted by a smiling host. Every single time it is like that. Joyful. And this was no different. Our reservation was acknowledged. We were advised our table would be ready in about 10 minutes. We were early because it is always nice to head over to the bar for a glass of something before we sit and dine and just enjoy the moment. And that we did. Hannah was busy making drinks but immediately made eye contact and said she would be right with us. We were lucky and found the last four seats at the bar. She did her thing and soon we all had our libations and a toast to the birthday girl. Mustards is not a large restaurant. It is cozy and intimate. The decor is trendy sophistication. Lots of windows bringing in light. Allowing customers to enjoy the peaceful Napa Valley scenery. Soon our table was ready. The hour and 45 minute drive had made us hungry. We were licking our chops! Speaking of chops... the Mongolian pork chop is famous. Okay... everything is famous but this is an extra famous item :-) But of course we started with appetizers. Birthday girl wanted the signature honey cornbread and mac and cheese. Oh yeah! We enjoyed finishing our drinks while having the standout apps. Leisurely dining all the way. Our waitperson was so chill. We really appreciated that. And took the best care of us. Thank you. Dwight! We gave our entrèe orders...two pork chops with sweet and sour red cabbage (yup those famous ones) and two hamburgers with famous Model bakery buns and MG famous onion rings. Everything arrived together as always with help from the staff. Everything was fabulous. Perfectly executed and seasoned just right. Always is. No photos... sorry. Too busy eating. But you can check the business photos for these tantalizing dishes and others. We ended the meal with a warm chocolate hazelnut truffle tart with caramel sauce and coffee expresso ice cream. And 4 spoons. Heavenly! The perfect ending for the birthday girl. If you find yourself in the Napa Valley... you must come here! Trust me.

    It was a long, fun day of wine tasting with family visiting from the South of France, and we were all looking forward to dinner. We started with Little Gem Caesar and fig burrata--both beautifully presented and bursting with fresh flavors that truly showcased the kitchen's attention to detail. For the main courses, we had the Famous Mongolian Pork Chop which was perfectly cooked--juicy and tender --and the (special) --vegetable risotto was rich, creamy, and satisfying without being heavy. We also enjoyed espresso martinis the much anticipated --Famous Lemon-Lime Tart. The service was attentive and made us feel genuinely cared for. The ambiance was welcoming but a bit loud -a lot of added noise from large dining groups with several screaming children that lasted through most of our dining. However, our server as well as the staff maneuvered the added noise with professionalism. Our ears-however- had to recover.

    Fantastic. A true Napa staple restaurant for the area. This place has been reviewed so,much that I'm going to keep it brief today. The menu presents magnificent food dishes to choose from. We ordered the rabbit and pork chop plates. We also ordered a mountain of onion strings. Everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors felt like we were eating at a world renowned cooking school. So unique with tastes of the area esp on the mustard barbeque feel of the pork chops. The onion rings with the green dip were probably the best I've every had. The place is casual yet feels romantic and inviting. Great job. Thank you. Highly recommended

    What a lovely Napa restaurant! They get quite busy so it is good to have a reservation and go off hours. Tremendous wine list. The team is impeccable. Great recommendations and super personable. There is a garden outside so true farm to table. The interior gives a great vibe. Look forward to returning! The mushroom toast so delish. The baked Alaska was a treat!

    Rae Lynn Z.

    It's a Napa staple for a reason. The food, service and atmosphere is always on point. We shared the calamari with curry slaw, one had the ribs and one had the pulled pork, with out a bun and with corn bread instead. Be sure to stop next time you visit Napa County.

    Came to Mustards Grill for lunch and WOW..this place understands food on a spiritual level. The pork chop? Hands down the best pork chop I've ever had. Ever. I'm still thinking about it. We also ordered the duck (phenomenal) and the lemon meringue pie, which was the perfect sweet ending to an already incredible meal. Honestly, every single dish hit. No notes for the kitchen. Zero. Standing ovation. Now... the service. Or rather, the concept of service. Our waiter, seemed to be playing an advanced game of hide-and-seek. We saw him just enough to confirm he was real, but not enough to ask follow-up questions, order another drink, or emotionally process how good that pork chop was. That said, the food alone is worth the visit and I'd absolutely come back (possibly just to stare lovingly at another pork chop). Next time, I'll just bring a flare to signal the waiter. I still recommend. Come hungry. Stay patient. Order the pork chop.

Our…read moreserver did an excellent job keeping up with our large group while matching our energy and vibe, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The prix fixe menu is $69 and includes their signature fried chicken along with appetizers and sides. They also offer daily add-ons, and since we arrived starving, we couldn't resist ordering a few extras. Portions are very generous--so much so that we ended up with plenty of leftovers (which definitely came in clutch later that night!). I'm not exaggerating when I say Thomas Keller and his team truly deliver. The fried chicken was hands down the best I've ever had--perfectly juicy on the inside with an incredibly crispy, flavorful crust. The house-made chips with sour cream dip were absolutely addictive.

    We came specifically for their burger at the bar, (not on menu) but unfortunately we came on a…read moreFriday when the shipment of the meat had not arrived in time. It was a letdown since we came for hubby's birthday and had been wanting to try it for over a year since the last time we were here. Guess we'll have to try again another time. We still decided to sit at the bar. You can either order à la carte from that day's offerings or do the set menu. Thanks to the group next to us, we found out you can also order just the sides if you don't want the main. The main that day was a pork dish with a jalapeno cheddar polenta, but we skipped it since we thought you had to order the whole thing and were already getting the fried chicken add-on. Luckily, we were able to order just the jalapeño cheddar polenta side which was very delicious. Sadly, I think we've officially given up on the fried chicken. I really wanted to like it since everyone seems to rave about it, but it just wasn't for me. The coating was beautifully crisp, but overall it tasted pretty bland and lacked flavor. The hot sauce bottles definitely helped and kind of saved it. The bartender brought out bottles for everyone. Interestingly, the last time we tried the fried chicken (a few years ago), we weren't offered hot sauce at all. The bartender mentioned they've always had it, which makes me think our server back then just didn't bring it out. I remember that visit too, we came for a Friday lunch, sat on the patio (we were the only ones out there), and still weren't offered any. The chicken was also bland back then. That said, the bartender was a nice kid, friendly and welcoming. He said normally he's a server but that day he was at the bar so I'll definitely look out for him again and request him. For drinks, I had a Diet Coke, which comes in a can. Since they're doing cans, I do wish they offered Coke Zero as well since I'm not really a Diet Coke person, but I also didn't want to just stick with water or iced tea with my meal. It was our first time sitting at the bar, and we really enjoyed the experience. I'd definitely sit at the bar again. Ordering à la carte also worked out better for us, especially since dessert that day was a chocolate mousse and I'm not a big chocolate dessert person. We still got one since it was hubby's birthday, and they brought it out with a candle, which was a cute touch. It was $10 and perfect to share, getting a second one just for me would've been a waste.

On our most recent visit, we went on a Thursday evening and were seated right away. I usually prefer sitting outside, but due to the wind, we chose to sit indoors. Since it was later in the evening, we opted for a lighter dinner. My husband and I both ordered the sautéed petrale sole with wild rice, spinach, and lemon herb beurre blanc. Unfortunately, I would rate this dish a 2 out of 5. The sauce lacked flavor, and I couldn't taste the lemon herb beurre blanc at all. It also felt like there wasn't enough sauce, and although we asked for lemon, it never arrived. That said, the ambiance is still a 5 out of 5. The setting is beautiful, and they have a great selection of wine. We've been here multiple times, and this was our only disappointing experience. We'll definitely be back.

In our many trips to Napa from the OC, we had not been…read morehere (honestly, the reviews drove some of that decision), but for this trip with our teenage girls we thought we would give it a shot. The grounds are gorgeous -- the outdoor seating area, the tasting tables, the garden and obviously the vines. What a great location! We started with the crudité which was fantastic. As basic as this dish can be -- everything was fresh, crisp, cold, and the sesame miso black garlic dipping sauce was wonderful. We also grabbed the tuna tartare and I had the soup du jour which was a divine garlic & parmesan soup. The soup was excellent -- perfect amount of garlic without being overpowering, really well-balanced and smooth, and the parmesan added the perfect little bite. For entrees, my wife and youngest split the chicken parmesan sandwich, my 15 year old went with the filet mignon with asparagus and mac n' cheese, and I did the seabass (duh) with coconut rice and a lobster hot & sour broth. The chicken parmesan was "good" -- nothing special according to the ladies, but the truffle fries made them quite happy. The filet was "excellent" -- perfectly cooked, a nice mushroom cream sauce, and the veggies and mac n' cheese were tasty. My dish was the highlight -- seabass perfectly cooked, rice was great, and the lobster broth was exceptional. I basically licked the plate. We were totally full for our "light" lunch -- but had to dive in on the desserts based on how good everything was. The GF Chocolate torte was unreal -- SO RICH -- we only ate 1/2 of it between the 4 of us -- but was great. The rice pudding got a "solid" score from the ladies and the cheesecake was awesome. It was really a great meal -- good bar scene -- will definitely work it into our rotation going forward.

The spice level was just right, no added hot sauce needed, topped with cheddar and raw onion. My wife couldn't finish hers, but after finishing mine, as much as I wanted to I couldn't either! This may be a long review for salad and chili but the service made Rutherford Grill one of our best meals in Napa. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.

    If you're looking for that quintessential, old-school Napa vibe without the stiff "tasting-menu"…read moretheater, **Rutherford Grill** remains the undisputed king of the crossroads. It's the kind of place where you'll see local winemakers at the island bar, rubbing elbows with visitors who know exactly where to find the best seat in the valley. ### **The Atmosphere & Service** The energy here is high but perfectly balanced by a gracious, attentive staff. The service strikes that rare "appropriate formality" note--polished and professional, yet comfortable enough that you don't feel like you're on display. It feels established, reliable, and deeply rooted in the region's history. ### **The Wine List** As expected for its location, the wine list is an extensive collection of Napa favorites. Whether you're looking for a legendary Rutherford Bench Cabernet or a crisp local Sauvignon Blanc, the selection is curated to complement the bold, wood-fired flavors coming out of the display kitchen. ### **The Food** The menu focuses on American grill classics executed with uncompromising consistency. * **Starters:** If they are in season, the **Grilled Artichokes** are mandatory. Halved and charred to perfection with just the right amount of seasoning, they are arguably the best in Northern California. The **Deviled Eggs** are another staple--creamy, classic, and the perfect opening act. * **The Main Event:** You can't go wrong with the **Cheeseburger**. It's a masterclass in simplicity: fresh ground chuck, melted cheddar, and a toasted house-made egg bun. * **The Curveball:** The **Enchiladas** (often served as a butternut squash and white cheddar version or paired with tri-tip) are a sophisticated take on comfort food, offering a rich, savory depth that pairs surprisingly well with a heavy Napa red. **Verdict:** Whether it's a business lunch or a post-tasting dinner, Rutherford Grill delivers a high-quality, soulful experience that never goes out of style.

    Really enjoyed our time at Lucy. We stopped in for a quick breakfast on our way out wine tasting. I…read morehad the Morning Sun drink, Tagine and side of fruit and all of it was wonderful. Service was good, a bit slow but I think that fits the vibe of this place. The ambiance is truly where this place shines. It's the perfect peaceful spot for a relaxed breakfast. The surrounding views are gorgeous and you feel completely serene here. Next time I am in Napa or staying at the Bardessono Lucy will be my staple breakfast spot.

A good server will always point out a split fee if the restaurant has one. She never said a word. $20.00 down the drain. We would not have asked to have our salads split. 2. We were charged for an additional entree that we didn't order. $32.00. We had to dispute this and was not as straight forward as it should have been. 3. Our served never came by to ask how our meals were. Small thing, but still important. 4. In my job, I have entertained multiple times with 6 people or more. Good establishments always always always the server will point out if a gratuity is always included. Again not a word from the server. We were all very disappointed. I would never tip her 20% for the service we received. This is why a 20% automatic gratuity should never be mandatory. Please not on the attached receipt that had deducted the additional Casareccia Bolognese that was originally added. It gives me no pleasure to write this review. We were all hoping for a much different experience.

    The French Laundry lives up to its reputation. It is not just a meal, it is a full scale culinary…read moreproduction. It's something you must experience once! Chef Thomas Keller is known for precision, discipline, and an almost obsessive attention to detail. His style is refined, technical, and rooted in classic French technique, elevated with modern creativity. Every course reflects that philosophy, clean flavors, flawless execution, and zero shortcuts. The restaurant holds three Michelin stars, the highest distinction, and has been considered one of the best restaurants in the world for many years. We secured a reservation for four at 7:00 PM, which in itself feels like an achievement. There are not many tables for two, so getting a reservation for a pair is extremely difficult. The best approach is to try for a reservation of four or more for the main dining room. Larger groups may find private dining easier to book. The evening runs long, over four hours. It is not rushed at all. By around the sixth course, I was already full, but the progression keeps you engaged. Each dish is small but rich, layered, and intentional. They add additional complimentary courses to the experience! The experience starts in the waiting area inside the restaurant with a welcome toast. Once seated, you are given personalized menus, which adds a thoughtful touch. At the end, they send you home with custom cookies and a chocolate bar, small details that reinforce the experience. For my birthday, they went further, surprising me with a bottle of sparkling wine engraved with my name. That level of personalization felt genuine. Logistics were straightforward. Parking was easy, we parked across the street. The dinner was prepaid through Tock, which simplifies the process. There are also optional add ons to the tasting menu, like truffle mac and cheese and wagyu beef. Tip is already included and you can add additional tip if you desire! They are also flexible with dietary needs, one person in our group was vegetarian, and the kitchen accommodated seamlessly without compromising quality. Overall, it is one of the best dining experiences of my life and I will definitely go back again. I would choose an earlier reservation next time so dinner does not run so late into the night. Everything is exceptional from start to finish. Cool fact: Governor Gavin Newsom was caught eating here during the COVID lockdowns! You will see many celebrities dining according to our hostess, which is no big deal for someone from Southern California!

At a young age, she has been fascinated with cooking and interested with how chefs live and work. We were so fortunate to get a spot for her birthday. The atmosphere, meticulous service, intentional thought in making art out of food impressed me so much. Thank you so much for the memorable experience and amazing food. The experience made our daughter feel extra special on her big day.
