Our party of 9 had the most wonderful experience at Charter Oak for Sunday brunch last week. Besides the exquisite and tasty food, the room is beautiful and the service top notch. Bartender Kaylah was knowledgable, competent, friendly and warm as was our server Megan. The manager stopped by our table to make sure all was good and another staff member made sure to go over all gluten free options and cross contamination issues with a member of our party who needs gluten free. A most wonderful experience, highly recommend! read more

Megan was fantastic! She was so on top of it!!!! They run out of specialty cocktails at times and she was able to make sure we secured the ones we wanted to try... even with a 8pm reservation. CHICKEN WINGS DRY RUB BUFFALO - OMG 4 of us shared two orders of wings and two burgers. Instead of having dessert, we ordered another batch of wings because they were so good. Then we DoorDashed three batches the next day. No joke - I hope they make these a permanent staple. Outstanding. The ambience is fantastic, location is easy and parking is quick and close. This was the first night of our trip and we really started off on a high note. Thank you!!!! read more

On our way back from St. Helena we passed Charter Oak and randomly stopped in for an early dinner; plus it was my BFFs husband's birthday. We were immediately seated and our host Ruby was absolutely AMAZING!! Very personable, knowledgeable and just a kind human. You can tell she likes, I mean LOVES her job. I had the Yellow Miso salad, which was delicious!! The only critique I have is the homemade Caesar dressing was very salty. I can appreciate a homemade anything, that could use a revamp. The Burger, on the burger with the mayo and relish was so GUD!! Yep, that's all I got, get it!! My Lemon Drop Martini was great after some additional simple syrup, I mean, I like my sweetness. The Birthday guy and wife, raved about the dry buffalo wings with ranch dressing. They both spoke highly of the wings. This was a super cool place to stop for on a whim for dinner. We sat outside with the heater and it was great as it was a bit chilly. Ruth our waitress, GREAT, by the way, did I say that already offered a blanket as well. This is how you SERVR guests and be present of the moment. If ever in St. Helena or Napa Valley region we'd definitely visit again!! That's Ruth and I believe Josh (he was her back when she left) for such a GREAT experience 1,800 miles away from home! read more

If you eat the in the Napa Valley long enough you witness the turnover of restaurants. Lately I've been to a lot of recently renovated restaurants that were hot spot long ago now gone. Case in point Charter Oak was once Tra Vigne. Gone is stately and posh ambiance of TV, replaced upscale lodge atmosphere of CO. The entrance and courtyard are beautifully aged brick and iron. The dining area is large open room dominated by an open flame cooking oven. Dark woods and leather now make this place more comfortable than before. I like how Napa has elevated food in a casual comfortable settings. Overall, great ambiance. The food was very good overall. The stars were the devil eggs, cinnamon roll, grilled trout and the Bavette. Most things had a touch smoke as I believe most things were cooked over an open fire. If I come back I would definitely have the Bavette and Trout as mains. The service was good overall. I didn't experience any lapses. Our server was a pro and the others acted like a team. Overall a great place to eat if you like this style of cooking. I think I'd come have for the ambiance, grilled meat and a cab. read more

Happy Hour Menu is a hidden gem here!! The burger is absolutely fantastic!! The salad was delicious as well. Its wine country but if you need a little change the bourbon and tequila selection are fantastic. The service was great and very friendly. The happy hour time is much less crowded and you should be able to walk in and be seated. The bar seating is a great spot. read more

I debated between 1 and 2 stars so really about 1.5. I'm honestly surprised by the amount of great reviews which is what got us to try something new in the area and go here. First, the one star is for the ambience. The place and the courtyard were truly cute. Unfortunately getting seated took awhile and when we were seated we were put at a table with the sun on us despite the umbrellas around. The wine list I didn't find enticing and honestly marked up like crazy. I did hear that there is no corkage fee and we should have brought something of our own but we wanted to experience everything. The rose bubbles we did end purchasing was not good. We finished it but didn't even bother wanting to get another bottle of something (which we normally would have done as a group). Next, if you are a vegetarian I would avoid this restaurant. There is barely anything you can eat and when they put fish sauce things like relish, you really have to avoid a lot. I am allergic to fish sauce and the two only salads they have both had fish ingredients and I thought I was being safe by ordering the burger. Thankfully our waiter was on top of things and let me know there was fish sauce in the jalapeno relish (seriously why?!?!?). My parents and sister ordered the caviar dip and said that the caviar should really be separate with the cream on the side and that it wasn't worth the price they paid for it. The crab dip was very crabby. My sister and mom ordered the pork and said it was dry and lacked flavor. Our waiter was helpful when he came by but overall the service was slow and I think he was stretched thin. I hear this is a local place and honestly surprised by that. Perhaps the brunch is better but from this one experience we won't be coming back. read more

Wow. Charter Oak is the real deal. It is about an hour from our home but it was more than worth the drive. The food, my god, the food is so good! It's the type of food that stays in your memory as something really special. The vibe in the restaurant was incredible. It was so beautiful inside. We were seated in the grill area just outside of the kitchen. We watched attentively as all the food came out. We definitely want to go back and try the burger. The people seated next to us shared the burger and said it is a house specialty. It's on our bucket list to return as soon as possible for a burger. We had reservations and were seated as soon as we checked in. The service was excellent. The manager came by to check on us. That is always a special touch. They also gave us a signed card and cookies for our anniversary. We truly had a lovely time and it was a great place to spend our anniversary. read more

Disappointing. Food just wasn't that great and it was expensive. Everyone told me it was a must, but honestly Charley's was the best.

Great ambiance, great cocktails, great wine, and a great staff that was very welcoming and attentive.

Arrived around 1:45pm on a Saturday with no reservations. Nice size parking lot, host stated it would be a 30 min wait but asked if we wanted to sit at the bar area with no wait and we chose that option! We seen a couple empty tables in the restaurant itself but maybe they were for reservations. The restaurant has an outside court yard area to eat as well! They are well staffed, we were greeted right away and was brought water. We ordered the buffalo wings( it was a bit too spicy for me so I couldn't enjoy, however my bf loved it! We switch the blue cheese to ranch), side fries and the chicken dish (forgot what it's called) small but good menu! The staff were very knowledgeable about the menu, the chefs preparing the food near the firewood was professionally neat! Overall, good experience but wouldn't come back. I would like to experience other restaurants in Napa County/ st. Helena however I will recommend this place to friends and family!! read more

Unfortunately an underwhelming experience in total. We were so excited to come to Charter Oak as we had heard nothing but amazing things. Upon arrival we were told our table wasn't ready and we could wait at the bar. This would have been fine but after a long day of wine tasting all we wanted to do was sit and eat, not drink any more. After a half hour past our reservation we were finally seated. For food we had the vegetables and dip. The dip is incredible and is truly a must get. For entrees we all had the burger and it was one of the best burgers I have ever had. If there's one thing this place does well it is the food for sure. Service was questionable. Our waiter was also the sommelier, while he was very kind and friendly I think he may make a better sommelier than waiter as we were constantly left with not attention. Ambiance is very cool. The open fire stove and overall vibe is very rustic and cool. Overall Charter Oak aces the food but they need to work on their service. I wouldn't say to not come but there are just as good places in the area that will give you better service. read more

Disappointed overall. We were recommended this place for the wings from a few nearby wineries. While our wings were pretty crispy and good, everything else fell extremely flat. They change the flavor of the wing monthly. Service was mediocre, first of all. Our server seemed overall disinterested in us, and didn't really check in even though she would check in with other tables religiously. We ordered a small portion of the bread. Probably one of the best things we ate this meal, sadly. The sourdough with the butter was quite good. Worth ordering. We got the pork jowl skewer ($32) and the roasted broccoli ($23). The pork jowl skewer was immensely disappointing. It came with this 'orchard butter', but it honestly just tasted like applesauce. Nothing wrong with applesauce, but I personally did not think it went well with the pork at all. Not to mention, the pork was extremely oily/fatty, but not in a good way. It was just an underwhelming dish that missed the mark for us, personally. Broccoli was decent. I enjoyed the pecan tahini, but it's a pretty bland dish overall. I thought it could've been more charred or something. Overall disappointing restaurant for the service and flavor profile of the dishes. Wouldn't go again probably. read more

My family celebrated at Charter Oak yesterday, and we reserved one of the fabulous yurts. The thing about the yurts is that no one wants to leave them, and after waiting 30 minutes beyond our reservation time Alec came to the rescue. He explained the issue very graciously, and then proceeded to go out of his way to make amends. Once seated Brooke was our server and she too apologized for the delay and preceded to make us feel welcomed and appreciated. What could have been a disappointing experience because fabulous because of Alec, Brooke and the entire Charter Oak team. We will return, and I am pleased to share this 5 star review read more

A few of our friends recommended this place so we had to try it. We got there right at happy hour and the prices were decent. Wasn't too packed but we had to sit at the bar to get happy hour prices. I highly recommend the burger! The pickle jalapeño relish made it so tasty and definitely worth the calories. My husband got the fried chicken sandwich and it wasn't our favorite. read more

This is my second visit to the restaurant after four years. The grilled avocado is still very special--I ordered it last time and have remembered it ever since. Definitely worth a try. The salad is fresh; you can't go wrong with it. The Wagyu tomahawk is reasonably good. If you like beef, it's not a bad choice. read more

Hubby and I decided to take a little road trip for the day to Napa. We happened to fall upon this restaurant and decided to stop for a drink and a snack. The exterior of the restaurant is gorgeous. We were met by a kind host outside as we walked into tue vourt yard.. We did not have reservations but had the opportunity to wait about 45 minutes for an inside table or could choose to sit at the bar immediately. We chose the bar seating since we only wanted drinks and appetizers and happy we did. Jack was our bartender yesterday (2/21/26). He was so attentive and efficient, he was fun to watch while we sipped our cocktails and enjoyed our snacks. Shortly after we arrived the restaurant got slammed with the lunch rush. Jack orchestrated the bar by himself with ease to sever not only the tableS that ordered cocktails and wine but also all who were seated at the bar for not only drinks but food too. He was friendly and personable and never showed an ounce of stress. It was magical to watch. While seated, we enjoyed watching the food at the beautiful indoor grill being prepared and the plates going out to the guests, each plate being prepared with care. On to our food and drinks. Simple, yet delicious. As noted, only came for a little snack so we ordered the Deviled Eggs and a side of French Fries as well as wine and cocktails. The Deviled Eggs were a hit, perfectly cooked with a a great filling and the topping had an amazing umami flavor I can not describe other than delicious. The French Fries were cooked perfectly, crunchy out side with a creamy center and perfectly salted with a side of ketchup. As for the beverages, hubby enjoy few glasses of hous wine and I a vodka cocktail. I told Jack I was in the mood for a Vodka drink, he asked what my normal was, I told him but also stated I was in the mood for fruity, he said, "I got you".... and he did. Outcome this beautiful delicious hand crafted cocktail that I throughly enjoyed.....thanks, Jack! Our experience was great, I am happy we stopped in and was able to experience this beautiful restaurant where we had great service, drinks and snacks. We shall return another day for another adventure. read more

I came here for dinner and loved their sunchoke tostones, chips and dip, cheeseburger, and pork jowl skewer. We ended up ordering too much food and was so full. We didn't realize how big the pork jowl skewer was going to be. I didn't like the apple sauce it came with. The bavette was good too but I preferred the other dishes instead. The chocolate birthday cookies they gave tasted so dry and did not taste good. Service was great. We would come back here again for sure. read more

I am utterly obsessed with Charter Oak! Dare I say... that it's my favorite restaurant in all of St. Helena?! There are so many amazing restaurants around these parts, so it's hard to say definitively. BUT... I WILL say that Charter Oak ranks extremely high. Oh yeah... they're UP THERE bay-beh! In there like swimwear ;). Charter Oak has got it all. Scrumptious food, stunning ambience, killer cocktails, copious amounts of fine wine, aaand exquisite service! You just can't go wrong with anything that you try here. Their menu is limited but the good kind of limited. It's the kind of menu that is experimental with lifelong favorites woven in that is tried and true. Everything is farm to table and those farms are located just down the way. Love, love, looove that they are true fans of quality and freshness. With that said, I will proudly admit that this place has concocted the best beef tartare that I have ever had in my life. This coming from a gal who has tasted it in its' country of origin. Yep... Charter Oak just simply does it better. It was so damn good that I purposely planned a trip to wine country juuust to have more. The cravings that I had after my first visit here were completely insane. It was only a matter of time before I came back for more. It's the freshness, the seasoning, and those raw onions on top that I just love to mash in delight. Again, anything that you have here will be delicious. The pork jowl skewers were so tender and flavorful. The fries are thick cut and lovably chewy. The greens were such a surprise! They were seasoned for the GAWDS and I am so here for it. The Trout literally melted in my mouth. When you come here, you best to NOT skip out on dessert! That burnt caramel soft serve ice cream will make your eyes roll to be back of your head! Y'all... I'm serious. That plus the addictive beef tartare was enough to make me come back again right away. If you know me, you know my schedule is always booked up. Oooh but I made tiiiime to come back to Charter Oak! Absolutely so worth it! The cocktails are insane. They are craft and they are exquisite. Looks and taste 101. You cannot... and I mean canNOT go wrong with any cocktail in their list! Also, the bar is quite fun and an excellent option if you stop in without a reservation (but reservations are highly recommended for this busy place). If you love the wine like I do, you'll be overwhelmed by their wine selection. They have a whole ass wine cellar on the second floor with hundreds of wines to choose from and full fledged sommeliers who are ready to assist you with suggestions and pairings. Whew, this review is getting lengthy! But, let's not forget about the service! Wowza! The staff is so attentive, cordial, and professional. RUBY is a friggin' star! If she serves you, just know that you're in for a real treat. Also, the ambience is something like a dream. This place literally glows at night. The high ceilings + dark lighting + open and airy layout is just so visually yummy. I love the rusticism (is that a word?! Well, it is today!). If you come in the winter time, take a waltz through their patio and check out the Yurts! So friggin' adorbs. Okay. Sooo... if I haven't convinced you to visit yet, then there's something wrong with YOU. But seriously, Charter Oak is a gem! I've fallen in love and I can't wait to come back again (which will be in a few weeks actually). read more

First off the majority of my reviews are very positive, this one isn't. My daughter's birthday. Brought a large group from Minnesota for a special evening. To begin they don't answer their phone; we had a question about whether we'd be dining inside or out and tried to reach them for four hours, no luck. Other diners checking in said the same thing; they don't answer their phone. Waited 30 minutes for wine glasses even though they knew we were bringing the allowed bottles. Food was ok but extremely overpriced for the value. Lastly, they are very unclear bordering evasive regarding 25% service charge covering the gratuity. This was an extremely disappointing experience on a very special night. Stay away, there are much better choices. read more

Had a really nice weekend lunch here. It was quite packed but lots of tables and many that are suitable for larger groups. The outdoor seating space is dreamy, secret garden-core. So stunning. The staff are friendly and personable and have more of that relaxed Cali style where it may take a bit, but you're enjoying the company to wait. The menu has a nice array of brunch and lunch items and lots of healthy, vegetarian options. The salads were calling to us and they did not disappoint! For the greens, I would order these again: + Green Goddess Salad + Yellow Miso Caesar Sides I could order again, if I'm in a veggie mood again, but the taste of both is similar so pick one or the other: + Broccolini + Asparagus For the protein: + Grilled Bavette - cooked well, loved the red chimichurri + Grilled Lingcod - never heard of this white fish before but it was delicious On the brunch menu for the sweets and carbs: + Monkey Bread - that cream cheese frosting! yum!! + Smashed breakfast potatoes - perfectly seasoned and that aioli sauce was creamy good (-) Next time, I will try that milk bread french toast though For the kids: + Chicken Tenders - very crispy, tender and a large portion. The large potato wedge fries were addicting too. Would highly recommend! read more

Came for lunch on the weekend and sat outside with our dogs. They gave us a large table and even gave our dogs a water bowl for the hot day, which they proceeded to knock over multiple times but the waiter was so nice about it. This spot is definitely more of an upscale lunch but thought it was worth it for a special trip. We were surprised by how good all the food was and we finished everything even though we ordered quite a lot. We shared the beef tartar and Caesar salad to start with. We also got the monkey bread which had chocolate filling inside so I ended eating it more like a dessert after. We also shared the half ribs and corn on the side. The half ribs was actually a bigger portion than I expected and great for sharing with two people. Definitely be prepared to spend up fkr this spot but worth it if you're looking for some place special read more

Had an unforgettable dinner at The Charter Oak on a beautiful Napa evening. We sat outside, and the setting was absolutely perfect -- peaceful, charming, and surrounded by nature. We started with the charter oak bread, which came out warm and was incredibly delicious -- crusty on the outside, soft on the inside, the kind of bread that makes you want to order a second round. For the main course, we shared the tomahawk steak cooked medium rare, and it was exceptional. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and flavorful. It came with a grilled lemon, which I hesitated to try at first -- but squeezing it over the steak was a 100% life-changing move. The acidity brought out the richness of the meat in the most unexpected, incredible way. The fries were totally unique -- not your average fries. Crisp, golden, and served with a sauce that elevated them to next-level status. A perfect complement to the steak. To drink, I had the Parfait Vor cocktail -- light, well-balanced, and refreshing. A great pairing for the meal. Everything from the atmosphere to the food to the service made this a standout Napa dining experience. Would return in a heartbeat. read more

Was recommended by a friend to come here during my stay at St. Helena. It was wintertime so we sat inside. Our server was great, told us the interesting story behind the restaurant name. Food is farm to table, so we had to try the raw vegetable platter. The fermented soy dip was beyond amazing. For drinks, my favorite was the drunk monk. Everything we ordered was delicious and I will recommend this place time and time again. read more

It's always a pleasure visiting Charter Oak. Upon arrival we were quickly seated in the outdoor area. The lighting is always great for brunch and pictures. We can't get enough of the greenery. Food was also exception. We ordered the cheeseburger with fries. Be warned, if you enjoy the smaller, thinner and crispier cut fries, these may be a hit or miss for you. We found that 95% of the fries were crispy, slight crunch on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The burger was also juicy as evident by the picture. We also ordered the Caesar salad which was really tasty and got our stomach ready for the heavier cheeseburger. The deviled eggs were just alright. I'm more accustomed to the mayonnaise based type of deviled eggs. These are seasoned and have nuts on them. While good, they weren't for me. Lastly we ordered a mimosa, aperol spritz and a Hugo spritz. All 10/10! read more

Stopped by for lunch and couldn't get over how beautiful their outdoor patio is. When I saw this I thought this is Napa Valley! I started with vegetables from the garden and I'm so glad I did. It was such an incredible variety and each one was so fresh and delicious. Awesome dipping sauce too. I also had to try the 33 year old sourdough bread. I love a good sourdough and this didn't disappoint. For the mains I decided to go with the burger however I was a little disappointed in the burger. I almost reminded me of a Philly cheesesteak which isn't a good thing. Where is the lettuce tomato and onion. If you have such good produce from the farm why not offer any on the burger. Overall good was great service was excellent and it was an amazing atmosphere. read more

This spot is normally tops! Although I've only ever been on weekends, until recently. Service was spot on as always. The food during lunch on a Monday was a miss across the board. Poor execution on items from burgers to salad dressings. Some things were inedible. Seems like a lot of inconsistency in line cooks, as most times I've been has been awesome food. If they're not able to excute quality on every shift, maybe time to rethink being open for 7 lunches and dinners every week... read more

This place was amazing! Friends told us we had to try it, so we did. It had an old classy feel to it, a large wooden edifice that was well manicured. Our waitress was very personable, informative, and attentive. In fact, there were a few people who came to our table several times to check on us. We began with a small Charter Oak bread that came with their own cultured butter. Our friends recommended the raw veggies from their garden, which isn't something we would normally try, but it was so fresh and flavorful and came with an amazing dip. We also had the beef tartare with milk bread, grilled new potatoes seasoned so uniquely, sourdough dumplings, and half a Petaluma chicken. Everything was a fresh, delicious experience to try! read more

Oh where do I even start? The site that houses Charter Oak has a special place in my family, so many fond memory way back when it was the famous Tra Vigne. While Tra Vigne has been long gone, I am so glad that Charter Oak took its place and kept its charm, and continue to do well with its innovative menu! Along with its beautiful courtyard, it sets an example of what Napa Valley dining is about! We have been here multiple times over the years, have tried both lunch and dinner. But on this trip, we made a last minute reservation since we were driving north towards Calistoga. We shared a few appetizer plates and every single one was excellent. First time we ever had Sunchoke and it was wonderful! Grilled dates were exceptional as well. Wings were very tasty but also super messy. It was the perfect lunch! Filled our tummy just before wine tasting appointment, while scratched our itch for this place! We can't wait for our next visit! read more

We decided to have lunch in between wine tasting at this cute restaurant that was all decorated for fall. Service was lacking since we had to sit for a while before the server took our order, and we had to ask for water. The Caesar salad, cheeseburger and grilled bavette were our favorites. I felt the raw vegetables from the garden and soft serve ice cream was overpriced. The vegetables were very fresh, however it did not warrant the $25 price tag. Skip the chicken since it was dry. read more

This restaurant gives off sophisticated Hogwarts vibes with the stone architecture and moody finishes. The vegetables from the farm (9/10) are some of the best crudites I've ever had- that miso cashew dip is absolutely incredible, so creamy and addictive! I never thought I'd be binging on carrots but I'd be perfectly content to inhale two whole plates on my own and call that a meal! The burger (7/10) came recommended by our server and it was pretty good but there was nothing super extraordinary about it to make it stand out per se- and my husband actually was a bit underwhelmed by the texture/quality of the meat patties. The accompanying fries were great though. The tartare (8.5/10) was excellent, it was my second time trying this dish and I felt like it was tastier the last time I had it during a dinner service (compared to a random weekday lunch) so perhaps there may be some truth to other reviews that comment on some inconsistencies there. Last time it was tastier because there was more of the ember mayo mixed in with the meat. The wings (7/10) were pretty good, I really liked the accompanying labneh sauce. Our server Ruby was attentive and had great recommendations for us, I'd definitely come back for the veggies alone! read more

We had high hopes for our evening--celebrating a friend's engagement with a large party, good food, and great company--but unfortunately, the service and timing of the meal really took away from what could've been a fantastic night. The meal started off well with some fun tequila cocktails, and the kids had a solid meal selection from the kids' menu. However, when it came to the adult prix-fixe dinner, the service left much to be desired. Service Issues: For a large party, the service was underwhelming. My son's butter pasta arrived after everyone else's meal--after I had to ask three times where it was. It seemed like the kitchen had completely forgotten about it. There were also a number of small service lapses throughout the evening, such as when the plates were cleared after the starter and salad, but our new plates and utensils for the main course didn't arrive until after the steaks were already brought out. Most of us were still waiting for plates while our steaks went cold. The server was visibly frustrated as the night went on, which didn't help the atmosphere. It seemed like he was overwhelmed trying to manage a large table on his own, which led to mistakes and delays. The food itself was pretty, but not worth the $85 per person price tag for the set menu. The portions were smaller than expected for that price Final Thoughts: We really wanted to have a wonderful evening, but the poor service and timing issues made it hard to enjoy the experience fully. The food was good, but the overall execution wasn't there. For the price we paid, I expected a much more seamless dining experience. I hope they can improve the service and coordination for future large parties, but based on this experience, I can't say I'd recommend it for a special occasion. read more
