First thoughts -- upon entering, very clean and cozy. Very interesting menu and selections. Front staff was very kind and helpful and even shared her recommendations. I appreciated her expertise and patience. Ended up trying the White Rabbit Latte, Caramel Latte and an oatmeal cookie. Wait time was about five minutes. Wonderful quality drinks; exceeded my expectations. Drinks are on the pricier end. $9 each for drinks. The oatmeal cookie was very good, priced at $5. Ended up coming here twice during my stay in Napa. Would definitely return in the future. Drinks are top notch, wonderful service. Very wholesome and cozy ambiance.

The service was helpful although slow because every item had to be put in by hand into the register. It led to human error and items being rang up for more than they were which wasn't great. All in all, the items themselves were delicious and we would definitely return, I just hope they endeavor to have a better register system set up.

I went in looking for olive wood charcuterie or cutting boards and ended up tasting olive oils.

We were welcomed warmly with the beverage of our choice (wine, whiskey or water) before the tour.

We learned harvesting olives takes a lot of hard work! Our group bought a few bottles of oil to support as we enjoyed the taste and tour. The owner was so down to earth and friendly and shared our support goes back to investing into the olive trees. Go support this business by buying their evoo!

We would definitely do another class here. Support small and local businesses, you won't regret it!

So disappointed. I was so excited to do the cheesemaking experience and booked online. Showed up to…read morethe 3:30pm class 10 minutes early and the doors were locked and it looked like no one was inside the building. We tried calling the phone number multiple times and no one picked up. Also, knocked several times. Two other people arrived as well who tried knocking and calling to no avail. We waited until 3:45 until we gave up and left. After we left, we received an email saying we had been refunded and at the bottom of the receipt it said "We apologize as this order did not show up on our calendar until today. We look forward to hosting you in the future. Thank you, Sheana" (see attached screenshot). I think this is deeply unprofessional on so many levels. Even if the reservation had only shown up today on their calendar (despite us booking it several weeks prior) and they weren't prepared, they had all the time before 3pm to reach out via email or phonecall to say they couldn't make the class. They didn't even try reaching out and instead we received a refund after the scheduled class time. Lack of communication is such a bummer considering we set aside a couple hours for this and we were so excited. Also, this is located in Sonoma which means it's out of the way for people who are visiting Napa and its vineyards. That's typically not an issue but considering we had to drive out the way and we got cancelled on after we waited for them is where it is an issue. Deeply unprofessional situation and hope they improve on communication soon.

We had a very large group, which included 9 unruly children, and they handled us graciously. We were at two large tables in the back, and the wait staff were super kind about maneuvering around our children. The food is outstanding. We got a set menu, and I enjoyed each phase. The big Italian salad to start was hearty and tasty: I really liked the broad beans with the greens. The burrata was creamy and delicious. And the focaccia was insanely crispy and rich. It was a real hit and I could have had a meal of it. The mains were so good that I didn't stop to take a picture. We got a roast chicken with paperdelle: the chicken was tender and crisp, and the pasta was delicious. I also really enjoyed the rigatoni in vodka sauce. The rigatoni was perfectly al dente, and the sauce was creamy and delicious. The only thing which was lacking was the mini dessert assortment. But otherwise, stellar all around!

The service was a little spotty and could have been more attentive. The coffee was just okay, but the avocado toast was delicious and definitely the highlight of the meal. I would highly recommend it! We also tried the French toast dish, which had a nice presentation and was enjoyable, but it lacked a little flavor and could have used something to make it more memorable. The indoor ambience is pleasant, but it feels more like a typical American bistro inside a hotel than a special Napa dining experience. Nothing wrong with it, but the atmosphere isn't particularly noteworthy. Overall, it was a decent breakfast and convenient being at the hotel, but I'd come back primarily for the avocado toast.

Prices are definitely a little bit higher (but common for Napa), but the quality of their selection seems to be top notch. Would definitely give this store a few minutes on your walk through the market!

He couldn't even be bothered with his answers " what we have is what's out there" we understand that. It was the tone and the flippant response. Sadly its a tourist trap - and they can treat people anyway they want for there is someone else coming along - I'm local - I won't be back - eff that place - I do not recommend for their bad customer service. The other staff " appeared busy" picking things up and putting them back down then up again when you make eye contact. I won't shop here again. My friend bought a little jam anyway , yet commented she won't get it again- she will find somewhere else . Raspberry basil jam is what she bought .

Some times it's awesome, but other times it just seems flat and the sauce on the pepperoni flavorless and the 4 cheese pizza seems more like cheese bread than actual pizza. I know that they check the box before they hand it to me, and I always thought that was supposed to be a final quality control check. I had ordered a slice of the 4 cheese, which was again checked, but when I got home it was very very brown with some areas of black around the edges and had been warmed far too long to the point of being burned. So what was she actually doing when she looked at it?

I would suggest trying to make a reservation or putting yourself on the waitlist and exploring the area. When we were seated we sat outside because the weather was perfect. Our server, was very polite and welcoming throughout our entire dinner. We all enjoyed our meals and I got to take a few bites of a different dishes. The pork chop was perfectly breaded and juicy inside. Scialatielli with clams and shrimp was also good. The ravioli was light and fresh, with the perfect amount of lemon. The pizza fritta was a little too salty for my liking, but still decent. And the most surprising part was how delicious and tender the chicken dish was. I am not a huge fan of chicken, but this was the best I've had in a long time. I would definitely recommend. Now on to the oysters. These were some of the best oysters I've ever had. Tasted very fresh and clean. I could not stop myself from ordering multiple rounds. They are charged by each so that's nice if you just want to give 1 or 2 a try. Overall I really enjoyed my time here and everyone in my party left full and satisfied. Great flavors. Great service. Great ambiance. Would definitely love to go back sometime.
