    Eunice is a fantastic waitress - remembering our order and very happy service. The food was good and fresh. There is a nice walk up the hill to beautiful sunset views if you like as well (go though the lobby, around the pool, up the stairs and though the garden). I highly recommend The Commons - especially if Eunice can take care of you.

    The best drinks I have had 8n a long time!  Thank you  Josalito and Jocelyn!

    At the wine bar of the Meritage Resort and Spa in Napa....sneaking away for the weekend!

    Spontaneous decision to wine and dine in Napa arrived at The Meritage Resot and Spa. Grabbed a seat at the Commons a wine bar in the hotel lobby post wine tasting. Lisa and Tracy thumbs up! At first, I thought Donna was selective on who she served. But. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt because. she redeemed herself so the place gets a 5 stars on service. The food, the bar, the ambience gets 4 stars, average. So am I coming back? Yes.

    This is a typical hotel lounge bar, but with great service, great people, and great drinks. Donna is an expert with drinks, and even though I was given complimentary drinks for multiple stays, Donna still treated me as a paying guest and didn't skimp on service or quality of drinks. My last night I wanted a snack, and she suggested the olives, but she recommended them heated a bit to get the flavors out instead of eating them cold. Boy, never thought about doing this, and they were the best snack accompanied with my drink. This is always a nice spot on our trips and I always make it a point to make a stop (or two) here.

There was plenty of street parking available, making it easy to get there. Once inside, we immediately noticed the ambiance. The space is elegant and welcoming, making it perfect for either a group wine-tasting experience or a date night. We booked online for a party of two and chose the Legacy Tasting, along with the sweet and savory snack pairing. Every wine in the Legacy Collection was excellent. Each pour offered something different, and we enjoyed the entire lineup. The snack pairing was also well done and complemented the wines nicely. A special shoutout to Luke, who made the experience even better. He was knowledgeable, informative, and took the time to explain the wines without making the tasting feel rushed. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. Great wine, great atmosphere, and excellent service. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area and in the mood for some wine.

My husband and I were able to call ahead and schedule a very last-minute tasting, and from the very beginning, the hospitality was exceptional. I work in the wine industry on the retail side in Texas, while my husband does not, so creating an experience that feels both educational and approachable for both of us is not always easy. Steve absolutely nailed it. He welcomed us warmly, shared thoughtful stories about the wines and the winery, and made the experience feel incredibly personal. The tasting room itself is beautiful and feels like a hidden gem in Napa. We especially loved learning about the wines and the woman winemaker behind Levendi. The tasting was stunning from start to finish. What truly sets Levendi apart, though, is the level of hospitality. Since our visit, I have referred many of my favorite clients to Levendi, and Steve consistently goes above and beyond for them. He bends over backwards to make sure my customers are taken care of, and every single person I've sent has come back raving about their experience. At this point, a trip to Napa would not feel complete without a stop at Levendi. I honestly cannot imagine Napa without Levendi -- or Steve. If it's your first visit, do yourself a favor and try the Stagecoach. You won't be sorry.

There is no designated parking but there is a parking garage right across from it (pretty full when we got there). The service was phenomenal. I had made a reservation for my partner's birthday and left notes on my reservation in case they were able to do anything for him. Not only did they give us two mini cups of wine, they also comped the tiramisu as a gift. It goes to show how attentive and extraordinary the staff and their service is. This restaurant would have to be one of the best restaurants I've been to with such amazing service. The dungeness crab arancini was so flavorful and crisp, not a single part of it was soggy (aside from the inside). The sauce brought the whole dish together and I was pleasantly surprised to taste how well the parmesan cheese went with the entire dish. The short rib was also truly amazing. It was so tender and paired really well with every single aspect of the dish. The short rib is definitely a must-have for anyone who hasn't ordered it yet. I will say, the 12oz ribeye did unfortunately fall short. It looked like it was cooked perfectly with a crispy crust on the exterior but it ended up being a little too tough to chew and cooked too much (we had ordered medium rare and it was cooked to medium well). My partner enjoyed his sides at least and we traded dishes halfway through so he can also enjoy the short rib. But the whole experience made up for that shortcoming! As for the dessert, both were incredible. You can't mess up a vanilla affogato so we enjoyed it tremendously, it was refreshing to have after eating all that meat. As for the tiramisu, it was so good that we wished we could have a whole tray of it. It paired so perfectly with the strawberry and was so delicious. Words can't explain how good the tiramisu tasted. Overall a 10/10.

After we finished eating, I frantically researched (read: checked Yelp) for a winery to visit. Housley seemed to fit the bill--good reviews, dog-friendly (we had her dog with us), and what seemed to be a reasonable tasting price. We get there and we realize it's owned by Tamera Mowry (who is now Mowry-Housley!) There's a picture of her and her husband (a former baseball player) in the window. We're sort-of starstruck. Shortly after, her husband (and the winery's owner) Adam walks up with their daughter and asks us how we're doing. We continue to be starstruck. Service was wonderful. Seating was comfy. The views weren't the best (we were drinking on the sidewalk and there's a parklet too.) The 5 wines for $29 was not bad, but the size of the pours was lacking. The first pour was the smallest and then slowly they seemed to give us more (maybe they heard me!) Honestly, the pricier wines tasted better. I wish our wine tasting could've been free if we bought two bottles or something--I would've done that! Cute merch and store with goodies inside. Bathroom is clean. Would be back!
