    Flight
    Aileen L.

    Our group of 5 swung by The Garden after brunch to grab a quick drink. It's a large open space with plenty of tables and seating, with a high ceiling, hanging plants, and the occasional bird flying around. Lots of different options on draft! It was pretty empty on a Saturday morning around 11:30am, which might be because of the location (kind of at the far end of downtown, and we had to find street parking 2 blocks away). We opted for a flight, which was 5 of the Tannery beers on draft, for $16 - a great deal in my opinion. My friend expressed interest in one of the sours that wasn't on the menu for the flight, and they were kind enough to give us an extra taste of that one without us even asking! They had food offerings, but we were still full from brunch, so didn't get to try them out. Overall, cute place that would be a great option to hang out over beers and some food - looks like they do some really cool events too.

    Guinness on draft, cute tables and cute plants. We didn't order any food, but that's all that matters at a brewery

    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!

    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.

    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,

    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!

    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 Mac n cheese balls. Crazy
    Kurt P.

    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.

    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.

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.

They attempted an 8th purchase which was declined by my bank and the only reason I was notified. The place wasn't packed (Maybe 6 other ppl outside my group) and no one else was close enough to scan or get my card information from me other than the male bartender. My bank told me after investigating it was initiated from a Napa IP address and no, I don't live in Napa and of course i didn't make these purchases. I'm filling out a police report as well in hopes this won't happen to anyone else and to ensure that there are consequences for the person that did this.

As I'm such a big yeller, I was looking at places that were pet friendly, and this place popped up with a full bar, full food menu, and it had a great ambience and a wonderful view on top of that. The restaurant is super clean, it was a bit confusing on how to enter the restaurant as we parked in the rear, and you have to walk to the front of the building to enter. We were greeted with happy faces, seated immediately. The only thing that I would say is a negative is since we had our dogs with us nobody provided them with any water while we were enjoying our lunch. If you're going to be pet friendly, please provide water dishes, or some sort of way for our pups to not stay thirsty. The other part that I was really discouraged about was that if you wanted to sit upstairs, you had to order at the bar and then carry your items up the stairs. This was not feasible as we had two dogs with us and so it was just an uncomfortable situation. The food was ok, I ordered the fried rice came out on a cute little pineapple, my partner had one of their burgers. I ordered one of their Fofo drinks and it was really delicious! But each drink cost around $15-$20 each. Overall for two people that Check was well over $100 and that was just having a drink and a meal each.
