Turkey Reuben
Mary D.

Service is always good here. Love the food as well! I've had the Turkey Reuben and the Smashburger. Both are really good! We also have had the brisket and the sausage link. The brisket was lean, but a little dry. Love that the place feels so open and bright. It's also dog friendly which is great. Definitely a go to spot for good food, drinks, and sports.

Breakfast smash burger

We joined a group for a celebration. The space rocks, & the staff was great. We ordered three for $24 from their "snacks" menu. Their terrible website doesn't even list these menu items so I'm writing from memory. We had a soft pretzel with a honey mustard sauce. They wanted $3 extra for a cheese sauce which we chose not to include. The sauce was good, but the pretzel was either stale or overcooked - either way not great. The sausage "snack" consisted of ONE sausage with a BBQ sauce - for $8! Delicious but a complete ripoff. And we had a burrata dish with bread which was excellent, but cost us an extra $2 for some reason. I REALLY want to like this place, but for the second time in a row we were disappointed. The beer was good though!

Great Food, drinks are delicious. Beer flights and tater-nachos were on point. Great entertainment. Live music.

Stopped by The Garden for the first time this past weekend to get a quick snack before some wine tasting. I really like the look of the place. Lots of plants and seating. Very open and inviting. I guess live music is a big thing most evenings and by the looks of the place, it's probably a lot of fun. I would like to check that out some other time. As far as food, just shared some Fried Chicken Totchos. No complaints. It was good, not great. Other items on the menu look and sound very good as well. Got a Bloody Mary and it was yummy. Great flavor, mixed well, and just the right amount of spiciness. Service was wonderful. Very attentive and I felt guilty that we weren't ordering more or staying longer, but as I mentioned, just a quick snack. Overall, a recommended destination right in the heart of downtown. I'll definitely visit again.

This place is so rad! We went for brunch and I ordered the smoked salmon flatbread brunch special. It was really delicious and the NA Mocktails were SO GOOD. The Pineapple Spritz specifically is my new favorite. We will definitely be going back to check out live music as well.

Fried chicken Cobb salad

We had great food and great service. One irritating thing about dining in Napa, is how expensive a single glass of wine is. We opted for good beer. Had the fried Mac and cheese balls which were pretty good, but needs more flavor. The Cobb salad with fried chicken was huge and delicious. we split the Oktoberfest sausage board, which was plenty for all and very tasty. The pretzel was chewy and tasty, with a great mustard sauce, and the turkey pastrami sandwich was excellent, overall a great lunch,

Tots
Jenn V.

They had me with Tevin Campbell's "Can We Talk" playing in the background. Solid playlist that night! Also saw they have live music some DJs on the weekends which is pretty cool. They have a dedicated stage area where I imagine they have their performers. Great beer garden spot with a nice selection of bites in downtown Napa. Plenty of seating options that could accommodate groups of all sizes. Also plenty of heaters to keep the space warm. It's a covered outdoor space I can see it getting a little cool on some evenings. We came for the smash burgers and we were not disappointed. Hubs went with a double patty and claimed this would be our new go-to burger spot! Also got a side of tots which were piping hot when they came out. Just had a glass of Stella but they had a nice drink menu with all sorts of options. Great service, great food, great drinks, and overall great vibe here!

Fried Mac n cheese balls. Crazy

Stopped in for a serious sit-down after a few visits for after dinner cocktails and perhaps some music. We've known Tyler and crew for many years and admire their efforts every where they pop up. Today we decided to bar-lunch and see what's coming outta the kitchen. First the cobb salad. A generous pile of super crispy greens in a light but flavorful vinaigrette surrounded by bacon, bleu cheese, halfa avocado, soft-center egg and the most moist, herbed, killer chicken i think ive ever had this side of the colonel's. Is friggin awesome. The smash burger is done Oklahoma style, beef on a pile of grilled onions n smashed, served with the cheesiest American slice, shrettuce, dills on a pillowy potato bun. We just got our faces in there deep. Juicy, oniony, sweet onions underneath. Crazy good. Tots are killer crunchy served with a smoked aioli. Betterthan fries. Beer list is wide-ranging as the wine list delivers some spot-on labels. Cocktails are crafted by some of the most skilled hands in the valley. Music and events occur, check local listings. Joe Bob says, plant yourself in The Garden.

"Oklahoma style" smash burger
Christina M.

went looking for a nice spot to enjoy some good food and watch our Niners take home a win. Luckily we got 1 out of 2 things right that night. Everything was delicious from the Brussel Sprouts that had tons of bacon to their smash burger which was juicy and delicious. Oh and the roasted chicken tender juicy with crispy skin that was seasoned beautifully with a hint of heat. It is a must to share Only down side is that the burger came minus a side and was just about demolished before we realized that we should have ordered the Tot-Chos. No problem had plenty of time to enjoy them while we watched the game. Laid back atmosphere where the whole family is welcome. A little pricey but for downtown Napa not bad and the quality of what you get does not disappoint

The bar
Sylvia J.

We went to The Garden for a retirement party for a coworker. Although we kept expanding our party they were very kind in accommodating us. We started with a Zinfandel by the glass even though the bar tender said it was good it was barely palatable. We chose three things off of the snack menu. The pretzel which I thought was good, the burrata which was good and 1 sausage which was very tasty but I thought it should be two for the price. The beer was very good. The waitress made it all happen although she only gave us one check for the large group. This was very awkward. She should have given us a heads up from the start. We hope that the person stuck with the bill received enough ( we gave more trying to accommodate for the meal, libations, tax and tip). The ambiance is open, plants hanging from the ceiling, not too loud, there was a cold breeze but they had heaters warming up the space. It is a nice place for large gatherings and a stage for venues. All in all a good space.

With a wasabi and fennel infused vodka, it was too unique not to be curious about. Upon arriving and looking over the menu, SEVERAL cocktails stood out to me as intriguing to try. I started with the Wabi Sabi which was as interesting as it sounded. While I didn't pick up on fennel, you do pick up on the wasabi, but in the most subtle of ways. Think maybe lime/ginger sparkling water with just a hint of spice. Refreshing and different for sure. I also tried the Mucha Lucha w/ cilantro infused Siete Leguas Blanco, chorizo infused mezcal and cubes made of hot sauce that make the drink have a bit more of a kick as you allow them to melt. I did the HH chips and guac which was also accompanied with a tasty Chipotle sauce. Damn good actually. It'd be excellent served in a variety of ways. The deviled eggs aren't going to blow your mind, but I like that you get 4 different ones- and simply because I love eggs, I'd order them again. (They just wouldn't be a dish that brings me back). The bartender was great- helpful and attentive, even as more people began to filter in for an early afternoon. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Napa to check out some other menu options.

Great tunes, great atmosphere, and a bartender who clearly knows how to make great drinks. We asked what music they normally play and they responded it depends. At their busy times it's mostly hip hop and R&B, other times the bartender's will throw some music on. I would suggest stopping in to have a great cocktail and see what they're playing. This was a fun, unexpected stop that made our night even better. Shout out to JV for the fun experience! I didn't catch the other staff members names but they were funny and welcoming as well.

Conveniently located near several downtown staple stops, it's an easy addition to an afternoon or evening exploring the area. The cocktail menu is extensive, with plenty of creative options and stories behind many of the drinks. For my fellow gin cocktail girlies, I'd recommend starting with the Bronx Cocktail. For round two, the Bee's Sneeze is another solid choice. I paired my drinks with the lobster roll, which was the standout food item of my visit. The bun was light, fluffy, and perfectly toasted. While the lobster salad wasn't the best I've ever had, it was a very solid bite for a dive-lounge-style bar. I'd skip the chips it comes with, but the fries are absolutely worth ordering. One small service hiccup worth mentioning: the fries are listed as coming with a herb aioli, but mine arrived with ketchup. When I asked about the aioli, my server initially tried to play it off before eventually sharing that they were out. Not a dealbreaker by any means, but it was an odd interaction that could have been handled more directly. The atmosphere is a dark, casual lounge with a cozy hole-in-the-wall feel along the river. The staff was welcoming. If you're looking to trade wine tasting for a cocktail side quest, The Fink is definitely worth a visit.

The record selection is incredible -- thoughtfully curated with everything from classics to hard-to-find gems -- and you can tell it's run by people who genuinely love music. The food is just as impressive, with a creative, fresh menu. The dishes use the highest quality ingredients, from cheeses and charcuterie to the baguette for the jamón sandwich. What really sets Folklore apart is the atmosphere they've built through their live music and community events. From intimate performances to fun gatherings, there's always something happening that makes the space feel vibrant and alive. Where else in Napa are you going to see a live performance from an amazing indie band like Suzzallo or attend a listening party for the latest Morrissey album! It's more than just a record shop or restaurant -- it feels like a true community hub for music lovers. The staff are also fantastic: welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Every visit feels personal and memorable.

This place is a new favorite of mine…read more I think as I go to more and more Tiki Bars, I really gravitate to the ones that have more unique drinks. I make drinks at home. I've had a traditional Mai Tai a million of times. Do you have Tiki Drinks that are going to make me want to drive 45 minutes to you? On top of that, is your food worth it? I'm happy to say that the answer to both of these questions are yes. I've gone here 3 times within the last two weeks and one item that is a constant order is the Orange Chicken. Nowadays I think people are used to the classic super sweet Panda Express style Orange Chicken that you'll also see occasionally at your local Chinese food restaurant. Wilfred's Orange Chicken definitely is sweet but its not as sweet as what I used to and I'm not mad about it. There's a lot of depth with the sauce. I don't know if they are just putting more soy sauce or dark soy sauce...Maybe it's Oyster/Fish sauce? Theres definitely some kind of extra Umami going on. An added plus is that it pair perfectly with the tanginess of the Pineapple Fried Rice. For drinks my favorites have been the Manta Ray and the Sanfroyosko. The reason being is just because these have been the more unique ones that I've been really enjoying. The Manta Ray is more tropical than one might think. However it's tropical with a bit of funk. The combination of the Gin, Falernum, and Sauv Blanc Syrup really add to the complexity. The other drink I really like is the Sanfroyosko. If you are a Mai Tai lover, this is the one to try. The substitution of the typical tums with the Shochu, Sake and Pisco add even more of a Wine and floral flavor profile to the drink. On top of that the Sesame Orgeat gives and even more nuttier flavor than normal. But despite all these flavors going on, it still kinda tastes like a Mai Tai. The service has always been amazing. Every person who has served us has served us with a smile. But even despite how friendly they are, there still remains this sense of professionalism with their interactions. They check in at the perfect times. They ask how we are enjoying everything and share their favorite things to drink/eat. With the amazing tiki decor and island music, you really do feel like you are on an Island anytime you eat here.
