Cajun Fried Chicken Sando- just okay IMO
Stevi B.

For an $18 sandwich (Cajun chicken sando), I definitely had high expectations. I was very surprised and disappointed at how dry the sandwich ate. You can tell there was spice on the chicken because you get a little heat at the end, but it somehow didn't have much flavor. It came with a generous portion of chicken at least- which would have been a plus had it hit the flavor market . I've had this place bookmarked for quite some time, really looking forward to it- but not sure I'd go for a second round. I got the chipotle Cali chili to take and save for dinner. I'll update that later. Based on other reviews, perhaps I just made it in on an off day? Or maybe should have gone the vegan route? The guy working was really nice, patient with some others that weren't so patient as well.

It's best to order to go. It's literally a pick up counter. We all ordered the bahn mi. It was pretty tasty. Service was nice they were friendly and prompt. There are seating areas close to the shop depends on the time and the vibe you might get lucky and get a seat near by. 10/10 would recommend and go back to try other dishes on the menu.

We were in town in Napa looking for a sandwich spot for lunch. After doing an quick research on Yelp, the Dutch Door was rated very high so we decided to choose that. We arrived for a late Saturday lunch. The restaurant is located in downtown Napa next to the Alpha Omega Collective Tasting Room. Parking is accessible in the free designated parking lots and street parking. At the Dutch Door there is no spot to eat inside as you just order your food from a door to a kitchen only space. Outdoor seats and tables placed on the sidewalk are the only dining area options. The staff was friendly and helpful. We ordered a Korean Fried Chicken Sando, Signature Supreme Dog, N' Awlins Cajun Tenders, seasoned fries and 2 Classic Plant Burgers. Everything was delicious and scrumptious. My Korean Fried Chicken Sando had a savory Korean sauce that had the right amount of kick. The crunchiness of the panko chicken and the kimchi went well together. One gripe I do have is that we ordered water in cups and we were not told that they charge for the water before hand. I found out only when I looked at my receipt. Overall we enjoyed our experience at the Dutch Door. I did particularly liked the outdoor dining area to enjoy the outdoor ambiance and people watching in downtown Napa.

Korean fried chicken sando. Wow!
Dave L.

Interesting concept it is literally a door on downtown Napa. It was a beautiful day in Napa, sunny and 68 degrees. There are 4 tables in a makeshift patio on the sidewalk. What I can tell you the have fantastic sandwiches and the truffle fires . The Korean fire chicken was awesome. Just the right mix of sweet and sour flavors.

TLDR: Incredibly nice and accommodating employees, and conveniently located in downtown by public parking. We came with a large group and ordered a variety of things. While I thought the food was good, I think there's still room for improvement. There's also limited seating at this location, so if you need more seating, they point you to a nearby spot that has more tables and seats. ------ FOOD: * The stars of the show are the burgers, and they have both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. They also have a few non-burger options like hotdogs, bowls, and typical sides. * They have slider options in addition to full-sized burgers. I got sliders of both the Korean and Cajun fried chicken sandos to try both flavors. I preferred the Cajun (thought it was more flavorful) but both were great. The Korean sando could have have more sauce. * Their fried chicken is excellent and crispy. The fries were good -- not life changing but definitely not bad. Could have maybe been more seasoned. * Almost all sandwiches come with fries, though I was able to sub out for a side salad. Unfortunately I didn't love the salad because it was drenched in olive oil and had a heft sprinkle of salty. I had to mop up the oil with napkins. * They also make their own ketchup I think. I personally wasn't a fan because the taste was so unique but others didn't seem to mind as much. ------ ENVIRONMENT: * Truly just a door where you order. When the food is ready, the door opens and they walk out with your orders. * Outdoor seating only. There's a covered patio with some bar and table seating. * The closest restroom is right across the street at the Napa Welcome Center.

House-made Plant Burger with real dairy cheese!!
Curious C.

The Food was delicious, my no bun burger was a bit charred and had 2 slices of cheese. [No photo too hungry] I asked for vegan cheese for all my order, but I was given dairy cheese. Not happy about that, trying to avoid dairy for diet reasons. Please If y'all don't have enough vegan cheese just don't put it at all.The vegan cheese melts, this cheese didn't melt and tasted like American cheese.

Lunch combos
Ellyzha A.

We were recommended to go here by my boyfriend's friend who lives in the area. We got there right at opening (11:30am). There's a great amount of outdoor seating. We both ordered lunch combos: I ordered chicken tenders + seasoned fries (+ mustard aioli sauce) while my boyfriend ordered the chicken sandwich sliders + seasoned fries. Both combos came with (most likely) homemade ketchup. We also shared an Arnold Palmer. Service: 11/10! Extremely welcoming and friendly. Chicken Tenders Combo: I personally thought the lunch orders were the perfect size. The chicken tenders were flavorful though some areas of the chicken tender lacked some of the crunch I look for. The fries were well seasoned and matched well with the mustard aioli. 7/10 Fried Chicken Sandwich Sliders Combo: We both enjoyed the Cajun style fried chicken slider more than the Korean fried chicken slider though both are delicious. 7/10 The Arnold Palmer was not too sweet - perfect for me. 9/10 Recommend to come early before the large crowds come in! I think it's a great place to try if you're in the area!

Cajun Fried Chicken Sando
Chelsea E.

I ordered the Cajun Fried Chicken Sando with Seasoned Fries. I was encouraged by all of the positive reviews, but I think I'll need to retry this restaurant, because to me the food was okay. There wasn't quite enough flavor in the chicken, although it looked great.

Hidden tucked away walk up window. I've always seen this place come up on Yelp and I knew I had to make it happen when we had a vegan visiting us from out of town. I opted to get a Bahn Mi sandwich and for as little ingredients on there let me tell you that it DID NOT lack flavor. It was like no other bahn mi, but in a good unique way. From the different mayo to the cashew pesto. I was turned off for a second, but I had a bite and before I knew it. It was gone instantly. Service was quick. We got our food in less than 15 minutes. They do have a couple tables outside however for a group setting it's not fitting. I would highly recommend.

We stopped by on trip through Sonoma and wow were these sliders good! There is a line, so be prepared to wait. They have a small parklet to sit in, but it's quite limited. We tried the slider sampler with chicken and tempeh. Wow, the flavors were spot on! The sampler was definitely the best way to go. Both options for the sandwiches looked too yummy, so this too the decision making out of it. The chicken was crispy and the topping was fantastic. I wish the slider was just a little bigger, but it's not bad for the price. A great stop on wine country!

Korean chicken

My girlfriends and I needed to find a dog friendly restaurant from coming back from the Shiba Inu Party - and we found The Dutch Door! S E R V I CE: It's nice that they're dog friendly! They have a little outdoor area that's shaded, and they also give dog water bowls. I do wish the tables were a little bigger and more secure to the ground. The 4 of us sitting in a four person table was a little too small and the table kept wobbling. If you're eating outside, there's a separate window to order from. If seating inside, you have an actual waiter and able to hold onto a menu. The staff was super nice, and offered to take pictures for us! F O O D: I saw that everyone was ordering their Korean chicken sandwich on Yelp, so I had to order it too! I didn't realize it didn't come with fries, so I was a little underwhelmed when my order arrived. The sandwich was a bit small, and didn't have enough kimchi. It was good, but not my favorite. I was expecting a little bit more flavor and some kick to it. O V E R A L L: The sandwich was too pricey for its size and taste.. The other choices on the menu seemed pretty basic as well.

A scratch kitchen tucked behind a door in downtown Napa! They use locally sourced ingredients to make everything from scratch daily, and they use 100% compostable packaging! Order at the door and sit at one of their handful of outside tables or take your food to go. The Korean Fried Chicken Sando was highly recommend by the friendly staff so I had to try it: -Crispy panko fried chicken, spicy sweet gochujang sauce, sesame, Napa kimchi slaw, chickpea mayo, toasted Acme bun The food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious! The sando was substantial and could be split. But I cleaned my plate. I love Acme bread and the bun was lightly toasted. The chicken was perfectly crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. The gochujang sauce and kimchi slaw added a balance of sweet, sour, and subtle spice flavors, and an additional crunch. The gourmet sando is worth the $16.95 and I highly recommend it! The guy in line behind me was clever and took his food to the neighboring Alpha Omega wine tasting room to enjoy with a glass of wine! A fab idea!

Combo with Cajun and Korean fried chicken sliders
Athena N.

There's only outdoor seating and it's lovely when the weather is nice!! I got the lunch combo with the Cajun and Korean fried chicken sandwiches with fries. It was the perfect portion size for me and a great way to taste two of some of their most popular sandwiches. I was also really excited about their locally sourced foods and sustainable packaging. Overall, it's a great place and I am looking forward to returning the next time I'm in Napa!

What makes it dutch? Just curious!

We serve all of our food through a Dutch Door! Sorry no stroopwafels :)

Is this a vegan friendly restaurant?

They do have some vegan options on the menu. I believe the chili is vegan but the chain sandwich and other sandwich aren't vegan because they use buttermilk in the batter

For my main, I ordered the chilaquiles since I have been craving them. They're not your typical salsa verde chilaquiles, esp w the scrambled egg and lack of salsa verde, but they're still great!

And when it finally did arrive, our food was cold, which was disappointing after waiting that long. The bigger issue came when we paid our tab. Our waiter was able to split the bill into three, which we appreciated. One of my friends offered to cover the tip for the entire table on her portion of the bill. The waiter immediately told us that if she did that, the tip would only apply to the portion of the bill she was paying. I understand where the waiter was coming from, but I don't think the waiter understood what we were trying to do -- my friend was offering to cover the tip for the entire table, not just her portion. As each of us paid, the waiter watched us select our tip amount and repeatedly reminded us that we each needed to leave a tip. I understand wanting to make sure a tip is included, but the way it was handled made the situation feel uncomfortable and pressured. I've been to Gracie's Table multiple times and have always enjoyed coming here, so this was disappointing and definitely not my usual experience. Hopefully this was just a one-off, because I've had much better experiences here in the past.

Bay Area and had heard plenty of positive reviews, so we were genuinely excited to finally try it. One thoughtful touch is that La Cheve provides umbrellas for guests waiting in line, which is especially appreciated when you're standing outside under the sun. It's a small gesture, but one that shows the restaurant has put some thought into making the waiting experience a little more comfortable. They also offer the option to order coffee through a QR code while waiting in line. I ordered a large black coffee, while my partner ordered a café con leche. Unfortunately, it took about 25 minutes for the drinks to be ready. When we picked them up, the café con leche was served in the same large cup as my coffee--but it was only half full, with roughly a quarter cup of coffee and another quarter consisting of foam. It felt odd drinking from a large half-full cup. Once we reached the counter, though, we were greeted with a warm smile, which was appreciated. We ordered the chilaquiles with an addition of Al Pastor meat, the asada and eggs, the concha French toast, a cronut, the house lager, and a local craft beer. it took approximately an hour and a half from the time we got in line until we were finally seated. By that point, we were more than ready to eat, and despite the long wait, we were still excited to see what the kitchen could do. Unfortunately, that excitement faded quickly once the food arrived. The concha French toast was a big disappointment. The menu description had immediately caught our attention, and we expected something that combined the richness and texture of French toast with the distinctive character of a concha. Instead, we received four small, shortcake-style pieces of bread that were dry and didn't particularly resemble either French toast or a concha. There was no noticeable cinnamon-egg batter, nor any powdered sugar. The dish was served with fresh berries and a side of cajeta ( a craft caramel sauce). The caramel itself was delicious, but it wasn't enough to make up for the lackluster bread. The chilaquiles were the biggest disappointment, and unfortunately, this dish had several execution issues altogether. The tortilla chips were soggy, lacking the texture you'd expect from well-executed chilaquiles. I also ordered the dish with Al Pastor meat, hoping to get a taste of the restaurant's house adobo. Instead, what arrived was a measly portion of tiny pieces and crumbs of meat that appeared to be mostly the remnants from the bottom of the pan. Then there was the oil. There was an excessive amount of it-- so much that a pool had collected in one corner of the plate (see picture below). I actually had to ask the server for extra paper napkins so I could soak up the oil. It was difficult to appreciate the pastor's seasoning or adobo from the oily portion that I was served. The eggs were another example of inconsistency with this plate. I specifically ordered them over medium, expecting set whites with a warm, runny yolk. Instead, the eggs were cooked very unevenly. One was noticeably overcooked, while the other was so thoroughly cooked that the yolk had essentially been obliterated. For a dish that relies on relatively simple ingredients, getting something as fundamental as the eggs right should be a given. My partner's asada and eggs wasn't terrible, per say. However, the dish consisted primarily of bell peppers, a blob of melted cheese, and some asada meat-- the kind you get with regular asada tacos. On the other hand, the biscuits that accompanied the dish, were a genuine highlight. We particularly enjoyed the jalapeño and cheese filling, which gave them a nice savory kick. Thankfully, the bakery items and beer showed us where La Cheve really shines. The house lager was crisp, refreshing, and very enjoyable, while the cronut was downright scrumptious. These were the kinds of items that reminded us why we had been so excited to visit in the first place. Ultimately, La Cheve feels like a restaurant with two very different personalities. The bakery side is impressive, while the savory kitchen needs considerably more attention to execution and consistency. If I were judging the bakery alone, I'd happily give it around 4.5 stars The cronut, biscuits, caramel, and house beer all showed plenty of promise. But the brunch dishes need work--particularly when it comes to texture, portioning, cooking temperatures, and consistency. We came in eager to understand what had generated so much enthusiasm for La Cheve. There are certainly some very good things happening here, and thoughtful touches like the umbrellas for guests waiting in line make a difference. But based on our visit, the kitchen still has some significant kinks to work out before the savory menu matches the promise of the bakery.

I've been coming to Farmstead over the years and it was one of my favorite recommendations for those visiting St. Helena. I've sent friends, family and out-of-town visitors here, often raving about how good it was. So when I took my immediate family to Farmstead a few weeks ago, I made a reservation, drove over 40+ minutes from the southern part of Napa Valley and genuinely looked forward to returning. Making reservation online was easy, parking is available (although it can feel like a competitive sport once everyone decides to arrive at the same time), the covered outdoor seating remains lovely, the barn transformed to a dining room with its high ceilings is still a beautiful space and the bathrooms were clean. Unfortunately, the food was simply didn't live up to what I remembered. We started with the cheddar biscuits with honey butter. I expected warm, tender biscuits. Instead each of the biscuits were surprisingly, almost as if they've been left in the oven a few minutes too long. The honey butter tried its best to salvage the situation, but was unsuccessful. We also ordered the fried eggplant which skipped right past golden brown and headed directly into "left in the fryer during a staff meeting" territory. For entrees, two of us ordered the steak frites. The cut of the day was a flank steak and we both ordered medium rare. Mine arrive firmly in the medium-well territory. It's disappointing when your steak lands two doneness levels above what you requested. A friend ordered the grass-fed cheeseburger medium. It also came out well beyond that point, dry and crumbly rather than juicy. He was expecting a burger. What showed up as something closer to a semi-palatable hockey puck. The wood-grilled heritage pork chop was probably the strongest dish at the table. At $52, however, we were expecting something memorable. It was fine. Perfectly acceptable. But "perfectly acceptable" isn't exactly the reaction you're hoping for at that price point. Dessert was a small bowl of stracciatella gelato. That's it. No wafer, no cookie, waffle cone shard, no sprig of mint or garnishment to make it feel finished. I can see wanting to accommodate dietary restriction like those who are gluten-free, but it would have been nice to have an optional accompaniment. We kept the drinks simple. Service was fine. Total bill came out to be about $330 for lunch with tip. What stood out wasn't the cost, but the lack of excitement or something being memorable. You're dining at a popular restaurant in Napa Valley, you're going to be paying a premium. At our table, nobody was particularly excited about the meal they had or interested in taking home any leftovers. Maybe it was an off day. Maybe nostalgia elevated my memories beyond reality. Whatever the reason, this experience felt very different from the Farmstead I've enthusiastically recommended over the years. The restaurant was very busy with a steady stream of people coming through the entire time while we were there, so clearly plenty of diners continue to enjoy it. But based on this visit, I don't see myself recommending it the way I once did. I'm just one customer. Still, this was a disappointing return to what had long been one of my favorites in St. Helena.

Good, but not the showstopper I was expecting. Brussels Sprouts - These were really good! Perfectly roasted with lots of flavor. Spicy Sweet Chili Wings - THE STAR OF THE SHOW! These were hands down the best thing we ordered. Crispy, sticky, sweet with just the right amount of heat...absolutely delicious! I'd honestly come back just for these. Clam Chowder - Creamy, comforting, and a nice starter. Bacon Cheeseburger - A solid burger that definitely hit the spot. My only real complaint? The wings. Not the flavor--the portion size. For $20, I think the order should include at least 8-10 wings. You get six (the sixth one is hiding under the garnish in my photo ), and one of them was noticeably smaller than the others. They were so good that I just wished there had been more! Overall, I really enjoyed my visit. Between the charming atmosphere, friendly service, and those unforgettable wings, I'd definitely come back again. Next time, I'll probably skip the bread and go straight for another order of those wings!

The big Italian salad to start was hearty and tasty: I really liked the broad beans with the greens. The burrata was creamy and delicious. And the focaccia was insanely crispy and rich. It was a real hit and I could have had a meal of it. The mains were so good that I didn't stop to take a picture. We got a roast chicken with paperdelle: the chicken was tender and crisp, and the pasta was delicious. I also really enjoyed the rigatoni in vodka sauce. The rigatoni was perfectly al dente, and the sauce was creamy and delicious. The only thing which was lacking was the mini dessert assortment. But otherwise, stellar all around!

I celebrated my birthday at PRESS, and the entire experience was perfection. The Cabernet…read morerecommended to me at the bar before we were seated was honestly one of the best I've ever had. The ambiance is romantic yet modern, and the service was top-tier. I absolutely loved every dish we tried, but my favorites were actually the starters, the caviar pretzel and the Chips & Dip, which were crispy salmon skin chips with an avocado dip. I would absolutely come back to Napa just to dine at PRESS again.

Service - 5 stars Ambiance - 5 stars (loved the playlist)…read moreFood- 1 star Blows my mind that this is a Michelin restaurant because the food is mediocre at best. Don't let the pretty presentation fool you - the food was nothing to rave about and there were dishes I could not stomach eating. Caviar with what's supposed to be yogurt but tastes like cheese underneath. Gross. I was so mad. Their "pork" terrine that looked more like elevated spam with shaved truffles...Inedible. The sumac cured halibut fish was pungent smelling. Inedible. Lobster chawanmushi - thinnest layer of steamed egg and the curry did not pair well as it overpowered the lobster. Disappointing. 21 day tomahawk was the best thing served. The side dishes however were really horrible. Sometimes simple is best and this place just over complicates ingredients that don't pair. Aguachile salad was just charred and fried, super oily broccolini. Not worth $800 for two. I do not recommend.
