Never again. Drove all the way to Napa to try this bistro I'd heard so much about! Unfortunately, when we got there, the power was out. We were still able to get seated, but honestly, maybe it was a sign to try somewhere else it was really dark in there. The food was just okay?? We ordered a few starters the avocado salad, which was basically tortilla strips, wilted lettuce, and avocado. Then came the mozzarella sticks, which were decent okay cheese pull could be warmer and got the calamari mix that was mostly onions and fried pickles. The pickles were actually delicious though. For the entrées, we ordered the fettuccine Alfredo, salmon with potatoes, gnocchi that wasn't even close to Italian, and two bistro burgers. We specifically ordered one burger with no cheese, but both came out with cheese. To their credit, the staff was friendly and quick to fix the mistake. For dessert, we had the churros with gelato. They had a nice crunch, and the gelato was creamy and good. Sadly, none of it was enough to make us want to come back ever again. read more

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 read more

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. read more

The service was very friendly and accommodating. Even though they weren't initially seating outside due to earlier rain, our server went out of their way to set up a table for us on the patio, which I really appreciated. I also didn't realize we had walked in just 10 minutes before they closed between lunch and dinner service, otherwise I wouldn't have come in at that time. That said, the server never made us feel like an inconvenience, which is a huge plus. The outdoor bistro area was very cute and added a lot to the experience. Overall, I'd give four stars for service and ambiance. As for the food, it was good, we finished everything, but it didn't have that standout "wow" factor. With so many amazing dining options in St. Helena, I'm not sure I'd return specifically for the food. read more

St Helena Bistro - Lamb Burger (special) Salmon & Shrimp entree - Italian Near Me - Saint Helena, California

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. read more

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. read more

St Helena Bistro - Churros with Vanilla Gelato - Italian Near Me - Saint Helena, California

Very tasty eggplant parma, nice house wine, pleasant staff. Good experience. Driven by many times, will stop by again

My mom and daughter said this place had the best shrimp they've ever tasted. My mom also really enjoyed the salmon. Kids pasta seems like it's just jar pasta sauce on top of noodles. They have outdoor seating which is nice but no wine. You can drop by next door though for happy hour or a coffee. Good for a quick and casual lunch and wasn't crowded. Service was okay, a bit slow. read more

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. read more

Food is tasty. We ordered pasta, salmon and shrimp, and salad. All food are good. Garlic bread is also delicious

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 . read more

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. read more

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. read more

We eat here at least once a week. The food is always delicious and fresh.I love the Pastas. My wife likes the salads and the Taco salad. Service is always good, as the owner (Israel)is the main person serving. The best thing apart from the food is that there is no Corkage. So bring a bottle from a winery you visited. read more

Great food! Especially the salmon with the Caesar salad. Great service and would go again when I am back in the area.

We are locals and go to Bistro frequently. No corkage if you bring wine. Reasonable prices for St Helena and a diverse selection of cuisine (Mexican, Italian, burgers,etc). Isreal is wonderful and his team is fantastic. read more

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! read more

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.

Came for lunch after our original restaurant plan was a fail and over an hour wait. We got a table right away for outside and our waiter immediately turned up the outdoor patio heater to full blast, which was much appreciated with the colder weather. In fact it even sprinkled a bit while we were dining and we were really impressed that the covers blocked the rain completely. Taco Salad ($18) - Lettuce, rice, refried beans, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, cilantro dressing, and choice of meat in a tortilla shell (I got carnitas). Man this really hit the spot after wine tasting. It was basically like a burrito in a crispy tostada bowl. The meat was juicy and crispy, and everything went really well together. They didn't skimp on all of the toppings for the "salad". I loved it. 5/5 Would not hesitate to come here again! read more

St Helena Bistro - Taco Salad - Italian Near Me - Saint Helena, California

Spent the weekend in SH and came here to dinner because their menu has a little bit of everything to satisfy your crave. Small restaurant, with outdoor seating. Service was great, we didn't feel rushed. We ordered the bruschetta, which was yummy. Need a little bit of seasoning, thank you to the salt and pepper on the table for us. We had the rib eye and fish and chips. Rib eye was a bit on the rare side but I didn't mind it too much. Unfortunately there was more fat then meat. For $30. Caramelized onions and veggies were good. Fish chips were not greasy but lack seasoning. read more

I had the pumpkin ravioli. It was fresh and homemade, excellent. My husband had the combo fajitas. Also very good. We'll be back

Stopped for a mid afternoon snack post wine tasting. Relied on previous reviews and boy were we steered wrong. We ordered the bruschetta and calamari. The toast points for the bruschetta were brunt and the middle of each slice ended up being soggy as it seemed the bread was grilled without any oil. Flavor was good, but the burned bread over powered the tomatoes and herbs. The calamari. Where do I even begin. Looked good and that was about it. The calamari was over cooked and ended up being chewy. The aioli served with the calamari was basically mayo and lacked flavor. Ever have one of those meals where you felt it was just wasted calories? This was one of them. 2 stars because the service staff were nice, friendly, and diligent about refilling our drinks. read more

We love the food and also the service here. We've been a few times. The avocado salad has a wonderful cilantro dressing. The eggplant parmigiana is my favorite ever. The breading is light and not overpoweringly eggy as so many are. The marinara is delicious! He always gets the Alfredo and it's perfect. Not too greasy. We also got their tiramisu and it has a lovely maple syrup soak that made it delightful. Great place!! read more

First just a reminder the owner was involved in an accident that unalived an EMPLOYEE because he went drinking with her, a friend and another employee while his now ex wife was at home. And for his Horrible service. Came In with my friend for lunch. I ordered the Alfredo and my friend ordered a salad which she loved. I felt my alfredo was a bit too salty.. didn't even say anything. And I wasn't going to. I didn't really touch the pasta but asked for a box because my husband eats everything. Anyhow, the server asked me if I didn't like the pasta- so I was honest. The server was the owner. And he was offended I didn't care for it. He told me I was wrong because nobody ever complains about the pasta. The only thing wrong is all the spelling mistakes on your menu sir. read more

Very nice little bistro. Clean, and well kept. The ingredients were fresh, well-cooked and served by friendly staff. They had good wines available if you wanted that with your bistro fare.

Excellent bougie food. Good variety. Owners/managers are very nice. There goal is to cater to the clients. I particularly enjoy the salads and fish and chips. The fish and chip dish is good but the fish is skimpy. The chips are a solid win. As expected, all is over priced in this area. Very clean. Location is perfect. I am a repeat customer. read more

My wife and I stopped in the other week for lunch and had a very enjoyable meal. We came on a Thursday, but St. Helena was still quite busy during the lunch hour. Found parking nearby and were greeted very warmly as we entered the restaurant. Got seated right away and I really liked the decor of this restaurant. There are about 12 tables inside and another 4 or so outside. It was a warm summer day, so we opted to eat inside. I ordered the BBQ Burger with fries, while my wife ordered the Steak Taco Salad. We thought about ordering an appetizer, but didn't think we'd be able to eat all the food, so that will have to happen at a future meal. I did want to try the Calamari Appetizer, but once I saw how much you get, I was happy we opted not to do it this time. Plus, we filled-up on pastries and sweets earlier in the morning, so that contributed to our lack of appetite. My BBQ Burger was cooked just right. I substituted the blue cheese for Provolone. The BBQ sauce had a nice tang to it and along with the onions and lettuce made for a very good burger. The fries were just as I like them, thin and crispy. My wife's Taco Salad was also good. The steak was a bit dry, but the flavor was really nice. Service here was very good. The staff were very friendly and were constantly filling our glasses of water. I'll definitely need to come back and sample more of their menu items. read more

We walked in to this bistro because our intended destination was closed for the afternoon. I ordered the mushroom bolognese lasagna. I am a very picky eater and my partner is a chef who loves bolognese and is a regular connoisseur. It was fantastic. Homemade ravioli. Sauce to perfection. Could have devoured it all but want to savor it again tomorrow! Will definitely be a regular. read more

We stumbled upon this cute little bistro by what it seems like Downtown St. Helena! It is a cute tiny place. The staff where nice and it was a quick service! They have happy hour as well! The food is delicious! Their teriyaki chicken is a MUST! It wasn't dry and the sauce was a great balance so I highly recommend it! The shrimp tacos was also good, it was made with cheese, sour cream, bell peppers and lettuce! Definitely will go back! read more
