    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    "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

    Fried chicken sandwich
    sarah b.

    Tasty comfort food in a loud hall-like atmosphere. Fun for lunch. We sat in a big booth, but there are also long tables for groups. The music was LOUD, but I think that's intentional. It was sometimes hard to have a conversation when Highway to He'll was blasting. My friend chicken sandwich was pretty perfect. If you like tater tots, you're in luck! Lots of tot-based dishes, including nachos.

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.

As soon as we approached the venue, there was a long line of people waiting to get inside. We arrived a bit later (around 8pm), and the crowd had already started to fill the venue. Mind you, it's a decent sized venue but not a massive space -- enough to accommodate at minimum 100 and likely max of 200 while still staying within code. There were several people coming in and out of the door, where the GM and bouncer for the night , appeared extremely stressed due to the amount of people in line and inside. A woman, who happened to be the wife of the DJ, stepped out to make a phone call and when she attempted to get back inside, proceeded to get yelled at by the bouncer saying she needed to go to the back of the line and wait like everyone else. The woman attempted to tell the bouncer her husband, who was the guest DJ for the night and is a historical, world renowned DJ (again using big names to draw crowds, and appropriating vinyl culture, but not respecting the very people in attendance), needed to tell him she'd be outside and would sit in the car. The GM started to yell and disrespect the DJs wife, and she ended up staying outside. Apparently this GM and venue are not used to larger crowds, and she essentially cracked under pressure. She went on to tell us the capacity was 67, and that they "were already at 200", which is a lie because there was a ton of space between people inside the venue (we have photos to prove it). She kept yelling and pushing people back. Girlfriend, this was not a Vegas club night. This crowd is 40+ (age) crowd, so it's not like people were out of control and acting debaucherous -- everyone was respecting the rules. If you couldn't handle the crowd, which btw you agreed prior to the 80-100 people expected for the party, then why was it such a hassle for your venue to handle the capacity. You knew a larger crowd was expected that night, it's your responsibility as a business owner to adequately staff the bar, door, etc. Yes; we needed to respect the door and the rules -- and everyone did. I won't get into further detail, but a physical altercation took place after the woman tried to return a second time (to again get her husband and tell him what was going on given she was being harassed at the door), putting hands on her in the process. Just completely out of line. Overall, this venue wants to appropriate the music and DJ culture, yet when the actual music and DJ community show up, there is no respect. Let alone for loyal patrons who have frequented your business and brought tons of revenue to the bar that night (which btw was extremely slow). Don't fall for the dog and pony show here. Go somewhere else that touts respects for their patrons, and for all walks of life -- not just the pretentious kind.

Upon entry and seeing people dressed very relaxed, my assumption was curved. The inside was relatively small, we sat at small table in the back near the "kitchen" food pick-up area is the best way to describe it. Our waiter was okay, provided us the nightly specials and acknowledged our Anniversary. Nothing beyond the standard greeting. Drinks: very basic in my opinion; subjective I get it. Me and my guests were not wow'd. We had to ask for additional supplements for the Lavender Lemon Drop and Georgia Peach or something Peach with bourbon, peach puree, etc. Appetizers: PrimeRib Sliders, Fried Coconut Prawns and Lobster Bisque. Again taste is subjective, being from the south, flavors and richness is a MUST. I can't say we got that. Our guest throughly enjoyed the prawns and said the sauce was GREAT. I'm use to a VERY rich, cozy Lobster bisque and this missed the mark, and there was barely any lobster. Entrees: 8 oz Filet Mignon, Prime Rib, Crab enchiladas and Scallops. Filet was requested as medium, came out almost done, no pink in sight. While my guest was disappointed, they didn't feel like the battle of waiting for it to be corrected, disappointing. Prime Rib, was okay. The guest barely finished it. Pan Roasted Maine Scallops, were okay, cooked fine. Meal ended once a gnat landed on the crisp crackers. Crab Enchiladas: A very unique dish. Plentiful for sure; taste basic. Essentially a taco with all the fixings with crab sprinkled in minus a shell. No dessert for us; however, we were offered a cupcake with a candle for our anniversary. While this review is my/our experience, the restaurant missed the mark with this basic, dry store bought cupcake. I refuse to believe this was made in house. Perhaps one of the menu dessert options would have been better. We'll never know. My expectations were not met. Hope yours is.
