    I was unfotunately unable to try the cuisine or cocktails. Although their website stated they opened at 3:00pm, and I arrived at 3:20, they weren't open. The owner was blowing leaves, cleaning tables, and talking on the phone. I approached the entrance and he looked me right in the face but didn't acknowledge me or offer any idea when he would be open. I sat on the outdoor bench near the entrance thinking it wouldn't be long, to no avail. After 20 minutes I noticed he had sat down and was fully engaged in his phone conversation so I took my business elsewhere. I passed back by about 4:15pm and he was just opening. Its the 1 restaurant I was looking forward to patronizing and he let me down in a big way.

    Jerk chicken. Delicious and not too spicy.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon here at Robert's last weekend. I did not want an alcoholic cocktail, so they made me a delicious mocktail. So they might want to add mocktails to their menu. We actually came to try the jerk chicken. It was beautifully plated and was delicious. It was not too spicy. I had the salmon poke bowl. It was really good. I wish it had a squeeze or two of more sauce to meld the flavors together. But each of the items within the bowl were very fresh and tasty. The owner, Robert, was very friendly and explained to us how the location for their restaurant was chosen. Interesting. The outdoor area was nice looking and comfortable. It was pretty warm out and so they could've used a few more umbrellas for shade. Customer service was excellent.

    tasty Mai Tai, fun presentation

    Great spot for drinks and a light meal or snacks. Hearing the reggae tunes played by the skilled musician on his steel drum, we walked in and Robert gave us a friendly welcome. And the cocktails and food exceeding my expectations: tasty mai tais, garlic fries with parmesan, and the pork belly sliders were amazing with a pineapple sauce and apple slaw. We arrived early and there was plenty of seating, but as we lingered the place was full. Friendly vibe.

    One of the most unique vibes on the Calistoga strip! Incredible cocktails and a great food menu to suit any palate. This time we just had drinks, but if we hadn't just eaten lunch, I would have sampled a few items from their diverse offerings. We really appreciated the sample of their soup of the day--a flavorful interpretation of the classic butternut squash soup with a perfect texture and wonderful garnish of herb oil--delicious! Can't wait to come back soon!

    Yes ! The rumors are true . This place is great . Nice place . Decorated beautifully. They also have movies that they play on the wall with a projector for $5. Nice menu . Great service . I'll definitely be back and recommend this place.

    The entire experience is top notch. The restaurant is cozy and comfortable. The menu is innovative and feature a fusion of California cuisine and Jamaican Traditions. The service is excellent, very warm and welcoming while being extremely professional. This place is a must when in Napa Valley!!

    I have had this place book marked for a while and I finally got a chance to check it out. This particular warm spring day we arrived right when they opened at 1pm on Saturday 4/19/25. The atmosphere is really relaxing with comfortable outdoor seating options from high top tables, to patio seating or even bar side . I am a fan of the Old Fashioned and was pleased to see a coconut washed version. My companion loves Mojitos and ordered a strawberry one. I have to say it was probably the best flavored Mojito I have ever tasted. We also enjoyed an order of tasty parmesesn garlic fries.. The vibe of this place with reggae playing; comfortable outdoor seating, delicious hand crafted cocktails, creative small bites definitely makes me want to return. Especially in the evening to enjoy some live music and additional cocktails. The owner Robert graciously gave us a private peek of his Rum Bar inside the adjoining hotel. If you are a rum lover he has a large collection. Highly recommend a visit here and a great addition to the Napa Valley!

    I was very excited based on the reviews to try Robert's Tropical Table. They open in the late afternoon, so it's perfect for some before dinner drinks and small plates! The outdoor seating is so nice, there are many tables nestled into a small space, but it feels spacious and relaxing. There is great reggae music to listen to while you eat! The staff is very friendly, and took time to check on us, tell us about specials, and delivered our plates quickly. The food is wonderful and each plate was presented so beautifully. We enjoyed a variety of the small plates, including jerk chicken and mozzarella on the most delicious bread. I found the drinks exceptional. I ordered a pina colada mocktail, and unfortunately their blender wasn't working, so they offered to still make it, but as a shaken drink. It was so great! Somehow it still tasted like it had rum, even though it did not! My children each had margarita mocktails and this is the first time they asked for another. Robert's is definitely doing something right with those drinks! I'd visit again anytime!

    If you're looking for a spot that really brings the heat -- in flavor, vibe, and creativity -- Robert's Tropical Table is it. Every time I come here, I leave thinking, "How lucky Napa is to have upscale Caribbean." Let's start with the food -- because wow. The jerk chicken is smoky, juicy, and perfectly spiced with just the right kick. The short rib melts in your mouth, rich and slow-cooked to perfection. The oxtail? Fall-off-the-bone tender and bursting with deep, bold flavor. And don't sleep on the gumbo -- it's the kind of soulful, hearty dish that makes you feel like you just got hugged by someone's grandma. And then there are the desserts -- tropical, indulgent, and never an afterthought. They hit that sweet spot (literally) without being too heavy, and always leave you wanting one more bite. But let's talk about the real twist: the drinks. This place is a rum lover's paradise. They specialize in it and have what feels like every rum under the sun. Even if you don't think you like rum -- trust me -- you'll be a believer by the time you leave. The bartenders know what they're doing and craft drinks that completely reframe what rum can be. They don't only serve rum. They have any alcohol you can think of. I have a few favorites. Favorites? Don't miss the: Side Effects - smooth, layered, and sneakily strong La Fresca - bright, fresh, and perfect on a hot evening Thank Mi Later - tropical and unforgettable (you will be thanking them later) And if you're more of a wine person, their wine list is just as thoughtful, featuring unique bottles from small producers you won't find at your average restaurant. Shout out to WOO Girl! Cellars -- small-batch sparkling and rose and full of personality, just like the restaurant itself. Whether you're here for a full dinner, a round of drinks, or just to vibe with some great people, Robert's delivers every single time. I always look forward to my next visit. This place isn't just a restaurant -- it's an experience.

    Robert's Tropical Table is a VIBE! Just look at this adorable patio. This is thee place to be after a day of enjoying a local spa or wine tasting. The reggae music, the ambient lighting, the friendly staff -- it sets the mood for a chill evening with cocktails. Robert, a native of Jamaica has created a nice menu of small plate dishes. All of the dishes ordered was fantastic! The star of the show was certainly the speciality cocktails. It was a treat meeting the mixologist, Kelley and having him share the inspiration for the unique cocktails. The staff were friendly and provided excellent customer service. Thank you Robert and staff for the amazing hospitality!

Quite a unique store. So many items have gemstones! I chose one of many types of VitaJuwel vial wands that fits inside a specially-designed water decanter. The vial charges your water with the gems' qualities to enhance your wellness. The vials are hand-blown glass by artisans from Bohemia. Each vial has different qualities depending on the gems inside. There are 12 sets of gemstones. For instance, the Forever Young vial for the decanter includes green aventurine, blue aquamarine, brown smoky quartz, and clear quartz for qualities including detoxification, cleansing, stress relief, and serenity. There are also gem-infused candles. The soap or hand sanitizer dispensers and glass water bottles also contain gemstones. The gemstone lamps are a must-see--I saw one of purple, green, and white fluorite. The magick book I purchased there by local Tenae Stewart is an interesting page-turner. I also got a beautiful stone plate that was actually carved around an ancient ammonite. The spiritual qualities of these fossils include circulating energy to relive trauma, enhancing stability, deepening meditation, and balancing the body, mind, and spirit. They're from the Cretaceous period estimated around 146-66 million years ago. There's a sitting area with beautiful, large windows to let in natural light and standing bar for wine tastings. I described the type of wines I enjoy and Carly chose the amazing 2019 Picayune Padlock--a Napa Bordeaux Blend wine of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, and 18% Cabernet Franc. It was absolutely exquisite. Its nose is blackberries, chocolate, and autumn spices. The flavor is well-balanced with a lingering finish of blackberries, plums, and peppercorns. Very drinkable without food. Carly mentioned that this particular wine is even included on the menu at the prestigious French Laundry restaurant. I asked about the great stories are behind the key logo and the name Picayune.

That's not a knock on this place, just something to take note of. As a result, we opted to snack on a few items and the caviar and duck fat fries did not disappoint. The espresso martini with pumpkin foam was also excellent. But the really cool part about this place is the vintage train cars, each intricately decorated and offering their own dining/drinking experience. For example, one offers an oyster bar with underwater decor while another features a cowboy bar with real saddles as bar seats. The cleverness in design and attention to detail is impressive and is what makes this place special. I doubt there is a more interesting place to have lunch in Calistoga. I'm a fan of what they're doing here and would love to come back. Minus the kids of course.

    What an amazing little place this is...(not little at all!)…read moreService was outstanding. Came for lunch and sat outside under the trees. The bar area is just amazing. The little shop in front- with the coffee bar has such great gifts, if needed. They also have the train cars that we were able to go into- each decorated differently... can be reserved for private parties. Such a cute find!

Super personable & knowledgeable - total class. In our top 3 tastings of all time - very special juice. "crazy yummy" was the phrase of the day. The winery history is remarkable and the various tasting and display rooms are well designed. Stroll through the Japanese gardens - will not disappoint. Bravo to the Chateau Montelena team!

    A perfect 10. Chateau Montelena is The Napa Valley standard for the best winery in the area What…read morean amazing visit to spend for my 50th birthday. I wish I would've gotten something special for my occasion while there. Like a signed bottle or something marking the special occasion. It was just the perfect experience all the way around. interesting that it was also the 50th anniversary of the Chardonnay that made Chateau Montelena & Napa Valley famous. Of course, we checked out and bought 2 bottles of reds at the end of the tasting without even thinking about buying the white. So disappointed that didn't occur to me to this morning. I mean the red cab's are just to amazing on there own. Ok so here is how the visit went. When we showed up early at 9:30am, we actually meant to just walk around the lake and view the birds. We made no reservations as we figured the place was fully booked for months. So we just wanted to at least see the famous vineyard.. we drove up and we immediately noticed the beautiful grounds. I mean stunning in every way. We even watched and photographed a beautiful white swan gracefully move throughout the lake. Afterwards, we walked up the path to the chateau and was presented with a old historic and charming building residence. Absolutely stunning, a complete representation of the movie bottle shock. We continued to walk around the building where we were allowed to enter the wine tasting room. At first, we were unsure of what to expect. I believe her name was Lynn invited us to have a tasting. Everyone was so gracious and nice. Just felt so sophisticated & elegant in every way. Lynn was so nice and inviting that I just wanted to say thanks to her again. You made our tasting feel amazing. We ended up buying 2 bottles of red cab when we were there to avoid paying for the tasting. I mean I'm so happy that I got to experience this winery. The history and quality wine making really is the standard for the area. A complete must visit if your ever in Calistoga. Thank you.
