My friend and I had a wonderful dinner here! We started with drinks: both amazing. Then we ordered a bunch of food to share and they brought everything out slowly so we could eat it after it was freshly made. We got the oysters, slider, poke bowl, short rib, and fresh mozzarella bruschetta (I think the last one was a special). All so good! The ambiance was really nice with comfortable seating, fun lighting, and great music. I'd def recommend this place and go back myself! read more

At a recent Yelp Elite event (shout out to the Elites out there), a fellow Elite shared her experience in Calistoga and mentioned visiting an establishment called Robert's Tropical Table. With excitement in her eyes, she described the delicious tropical-inspired cocktails with good vibes to match. Since I had an upcoming birthday, I bookmarked the restaurant so that we would remember to visit it during our stay in Calistoga. After arriving in Calistoga on a Friday evening, my wife and I thought that it would be appropriate to have dinner and drinks at Robert's. Upon walking through the entrance of the restaurant, we observed a nice backyard-style layout with televisions tuned to the NBA playoffs, patrons enjoying glasses of wine, and a DJ playing smooth yacht rock tunes. A friendly employee informed us that it was open seating, so we sat ourselves along the padded seating in close proximity to the DJ. Shortly afterwards, a server came by to take our orders. My wife ordered the short rib, garlic fries, and the Sip It Slowly cocktail; I ordered the Jamaican Jerk Chicken, Dumplings (suggested by the server), and the Jerk Old Fashioned. While we awaited our orders, the server brought us a delicious miniature size soup - which was absolutely delicious and definitely a tease! Shortly after, our drinks arrived. I found my drink to be delicious, strong, and was intrigued by the flavor that the little piece of submerged jerky provided. However, I will admit that I was a bit jealous when I snuck a couple sips of my wife's delicious cocktail. Up until the arrival of our meals, I was impressed. My wife found the short ribs to be just ok; additionally, her fries were lukewarm upon arrival and dry (as if they were overcooked). I have had Jamaican jerk chicken in Jamaica, so my expectations were very high. Unfortunately, the chicken was not flavorful and did not have the "kick (spice)" that I anticipated. Surprisingly, the highlight here was the dumplings (delicious!) and the Hint of Passion cocktail that I ordered (if I had a signature drink- this would be it!). I really should have listened to my intuition when we initially observed that a majority of the other patrons were just indulging in drinks, no food. When our server brought us the bill totaling roughly $160, I couldn't help but feel like the food was not in alignment with the price point. I wanted so badly to like this establishment, but honestly could not see myself returning for anything other than one of their cocktails. read more

My Branzino was tasty but for 41 dollars very small The Gumbo was horrible greasy and my hubby said it tasted like they put a scoop of the poke rice, really horrible and over 30 dollars very dissatisfied This location is good for drinks only. Service was bad the waitress was very careless, poured my Pinot noir and spilled it all over the stem of my glass no napkin at all and I got it all over my white skirt. She never checked on us to order food for a while and it wasn't busy at all. Poor service from our waitress but another lady with dark hair was kind enough to get our order and was very nice. Ambiance was great for drinks read more

This place has the most amazing vibe of any restaurant we've ever been to. Beautiful outdoor setting and the best cocktails you will have in your life. All the servers are hustling and doing the best they can with what they have. The drinks are made all from scratch and if you ask him, Robert will make you something special. read more

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. read more

Robert’s Tropical Table - Tapas Bars Near Me - Calistoga, California

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. read more

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. read more

Robert’s Tropical Table - tasty Mai Tai, fun presentation - Tapas Bars Near Me - Calistoga, California

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! read more

The menu looks great here! I was excited to try the dumplings and poke bowl. Unfortunately we didn't get to taste any of it. We came here last night for an earlyish dinner, having skipped lunch. Since there was no one at the entrance, we walked up to the bar, where two gentlemen in blue asked us if we were there for cocktails. I replied that we had come for dinner. One of them handed us two menus and told us to sit anywhere we liked and someone would be with us shortly. We picked a small table not far from the bar. And then we waited and waited some more. No one came over to take a drink or food order. No one came over to even bring water or silverware. I understand if maybe they were short staffed, but servers walked past our table twice without acknowledging us at all. A table that sat after us was attended to. After about 10-15 minutes of being completely ignored, we got up and went to another place down the street. read more

This is a great place! Lovely outdoor setting, tasteful cocktails, excellent food. We enjoyed every minute of our dinner last night. Service was a bit slow but the two servers were great and definitely trying their best. Some people sat down and 10 minutes later decided to leave. They don't know what they have missed. We had a great night and enjoyed all the food. We will definitely come again when we visit Calistoga in the future. read more

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! read more

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! read more

What a cool vibe and beautiful outdoor space. I had a delicious (but pricey) cocktail. Can't wait to come back.

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. read more

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! read more

Calistoga's Ultimate Dining Gem! Robert's Tropical Table is an absolute gem! If you are in Calistoga, you need to eat here. The drinks are next-level. Robert is an incredible mixologist who puts highly inventive cocktails on the menu. Our fantastic waitress, Patty, told us we could tell Robert what flavor profiles we liked so he could create custom drinks for us. Every single creation was delicious! Even better, they have a 2-for-1 Happy Hour special. The food is just as stellar as the bar program. We started with a complimentary amuse-bouche of a small, delicious cup of soup. Next, we ordered the salmon tartare to start, followed by three entrees: the jerk chicken, braised short rib, and branzino. Every single dish was absolute perfection. We finished our meal with a perfect coconut panna cotta. The service and atmosphere truly set this place apart. The ambiance was perfect and complemented by wonderful background music. When we mentioned we wanted to share our entrees, Patty immediately brought out separate plates and served the food family-style. Patty and Robert were amazing. The menu updates frequently, so there is always something new to try. I will definitely come back every single time I am in town! read more

Beautiful atmosphere, nice table set ups and fire pits when you need to warm up a little. Great music that is just at the right level where you can still have great conversations. The drinks were great, very tasty. The only downfall was the service, they were trying to push more drinks when my girlfriends had full one's and the fact that the server Meagan overcharged, charging for extra drinks that were not ordered or received. She denied it when my cousin tried to dispute and had I known it wasn't fixed I would have asked for a manager. That part very disappointing being from the service industry myself. It would have been a perfect evening otherwise. ***Update : Thank you to the Business Manager for reaching out, we truly appreciate it. We also are very thankful for the credit back on the overcharge. We are all looking forward to coming by again when we come back to Calistoga. Thank you! read more

I have been to Robert's many times before and never been disappointed, but just had the opportunity to go with a larger group (yes despite the fact we were sitting outside in winter - they have fire pits) so we could order almost everything on the menu.

Came at 9:50 (yes I know it's 10 minutes before closing) but the giant sign in front says, "If music is playing, we are still open". Guess what, music was playing. We walked up and ordered a drink and were promptly told they were closed.,I mentioned the sign that said about the music which would have quickly avoided us doing the walk of shame back to our car and she smiled and said "thanks for letting me know". As I walked out, I saw her pouring another glass for a customer and laughing to her colleague. Will never go back. read more
