    Gnocchi
    Kelley K.

    This is our 4th time here. I highly recommend their garlic bread; tortilla soup & eggplant parm! All are really good. Their Gnocchi is good but sauce not so much, my daughter said tastes like chef boyardi? Idk. Fried fish was tasty but thin stripe. Folks that work here are real nice. And totally pros. It's a cute small restaurant. No corkage fee for first bottle! Nice

    Gnocchi - creamy and comforting.

    Nice find on the St Helena strip. The menu is eclectic with Italian pastas, Mexican mole, a burger and fish and chips. We had the burger and gnocchi which were both excellent. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The waiter was very cordial and spot on. The prices fit the location Great find.

    Avocado Salad

    There weren't many restaurants open between lunch and dinner on a Sunday so we came here. Overall everything was ok, but nothing spectacular. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating and is pleasant. Service was friendly, attentive, and food came quickly. The lamb ragu had good flavor, but I would have preferred the sauce be thicker. The fish tacos tasted ok, but the texture of the fish was off, almost hollow and slightly gray in color.

    The food was excellent well prepared and presentation was awesome. The service was timely and it was very ... what's the word "romantic". This was New Year's Eve. I was expecting it to be booked solid, but they found a place for us even though everything was reserved.

    Churros with Vanilla Gelato

    Lovely place, right in the middle of St Helena. I came here for dessert and loved it. I ordered the churros with Gelato and it was delicious. The order came right away and the gentleman that was helping me was very nice. I highly recommend it.

    A small little viby bistro on Main Street in St Helena is worth a stop. The restaurant is clean and tidy with chill decor. Tables with tablecloth and proper napkins gives this restaurant an upscale feel. The service is quick and friendly. The menu is a nice size and the wine list is as well. The menu confused me a bit with the choices of ravioli, fish and chips, a burger and tacos in the same menu but it kinda worked. The food came out quiclkly and hot. The burger was noshed down quickly as was the fish and chips. The artichoke was a bit wet even though it was grilled. The pumpkin ravioli was tasty but a bit too sweet. The wines we chose were good quality and went well with the food. All in all a good experience. Caution: parking is not that easy to find and you may have to walk a bit.

    Beef ravioli, special of the day

    Tostada Chicken Salad
    Arely C.

    We stopped by to have lunch here after a morning of wine tasting on a Wednesday . We were seated immediately as there were a lot of open tables to choose from inside or outside . We tried the burger w/fries , salad with a chicken tostada shell and salad with salmon. The tostada salad was amazing!! And highly recommend as it was light and delicious . It was a very large tostada salad and was unable to finish it all great portions! My husband tried the burger he said it was okay the sauce was overpowering the burger . And lastly the salad with salmon was also a hit! I highly recommend stopping here for lunch in St Helena as it is very close to nearby wineries . The service was excellent we were able to order and eat within the hour which was great for our schedule ! The only issue might be finding parking as there is not parking available and will have to look for parking on the street .

    If there was a spot 0 stars, this place would have it. Not only did they serve two other parties before they got to our table and our food came out. It took over forty minutes. The other tables had finished eating and left before we got our main course. I explained to the server that this was an exceptional amount of time to wait for food. He was sarcastic and disrespectful.I will never go there again.

    Lettuce wrapped Bistro Burger
    Terri K.

    Great find on our way back from wine tasting. Cute little restaurant with patio & they could seat a party of 4 quickly. Food was good, service was wonderful, some nice wine choices & clean restroom. My lettuce wrapped hamburger was made was fresh crisp lettuce & you couldn't go wrong with the burger & thin crisp hot fries. My friend had the mole chicken enchiladas & she loved them. She is kind of picky about the mole sauce & really liked theirs. Worth a stop if you're headed down Main Street.

    Cali Burger with simple side salad... yum!!!
    Jonathan R.

    Wonderful little spot we stumbled on and amazed it wasn't busier. Super diverse menu from burgers to Mexican cuisine. Hard to imagine doing it all well but this bistro is all about can do! My burger was cooked perfectly and the charbroil flavor oozed with the juice. Tasty bun too. Served with a simple tossed salad. My pal got the mole enchiladas which he loved. And of course the service was top self. Friendly and efficient. Can't wait to return. So if you are in Napa skip the lines at the grocery store and road houses and sit down and enjoy!

    Avocado Salad - YUM!
    Shirlee S.

    Today I finally had the pleasure to try this restaurant! It did NOT disappoint! Cute little restaurant on Main st in St Helena with a great little patio for outside dining. I ordered the chicken tacos with salsa verde & an Avocado salad. The avocado salad was bright, tasty & beautiful. The tacos were out of this world! Fresh, great seasoning & fully satisfying. Israel was my server. He was gracious, helpful, attentive & friendly- I'm looking forward to going back!

    Would you recommend this for a party of 21 for a rehearsal dinner on a Wednesday night. Looks adorable.?

    They have a large indoor area. I believe that would be fine.

    Great spot, as always!! Love the atmosphere, the DJ, and the drinks…read more recommend if in st. Helena! great service

    I have never felt so compelled to write a negative review for an establishment…read more My brother got married in St. Helena this weekend, and everything had been carefully planned and was going perfectly. As part of the celebration, my brother and his fiancée paid Ana, the owner of Ana's Cantina, thousands of dollars to reserve space for a small after-party following the wedding. A few days before the event, my brother met with Ana to discuss the arrangements. Unfortunately, the interaction was extremely disrespectful and left our family feeling completely unwelcome. She referred to our family as "cheap" because we were not also providing food and music for what she described as a "dive bar." She also stated that she would be charging every person for water. As a customer, I have never experienced that level of disrespect from an establishment owner. Then, after the wedding reception, we arrived expecting the space we had paid for to be reserved for the wedding party. Nothing had been reserved or set aside for us. After spending thousands of dollars, the way our family was treated was incredibly disappointing and embarrassing. The only person who showed any decency toward us was the bouncer, who was kind and respectful throughout the situation. I cannot recommend this establishment. When someone pays thousands of dollars for a reserved event, they should be treated with basic courtesy and professionalism. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. Ana, you had every opportunity to make this a positive experience, and instead our family left feeling disrespected and unwelcome. Shame on you.

We had the signature burger, grilled fig over goat cheese special and the house bread. Not only was the food great but the service was exceptional.

Providing us his knowledge of the local winery scene and making several recommendations of his own. Kudos to the team at The Charter Oak.

    Every once in a while you just walk into the place that screams... "You're going to love it here."…read more Well, The Charter Oak Restaurant is one of those places. I asked "Where can I get a good burger" at multiple wineries and everyone pointed me here. Now I know why! As we walked in, (we were lucky as we did not have reservations for lunch but came early) the atmosphere, venue, electricity in the air was amazing. They also have a lovely outside seating area, which seems to the hot spot. It was exactly how all the people described it and the overall atmosphere was amazing with that giant open flaming cooking area at the end and in the middle. I had the perfect seat to watch it and the amazing Chef Marshall preparing food. A lovely young lady ( am am embarrassed that I did not write down names) came by and got us started with menus, silverware and a drink order. Then our amazing waiter (same thing on the name) came over to explain more. Both my wife and I already knew that we were having the burger. (Pretty rare and special for her to have a burger.) Not much to say other than they were AMAZING! Two patties (rather large) on a bun with special sauce and cheese. These weren't just good, they were really, really good. Cooked perfectly (medium) and served with the most amazing hand cut fries. This place definately set a new bar... and it's really high! Through the whole meal, I got to watch Chef Marshall at the grill. Lunch and a show, how perfect was this day? My wife and I are looking forward to coming back soon, and we will... this time for dinner [and we will have reservation.] KUDOs to the team at The Charter Oak Restaurant
