    Burrata plate - so nice..
    Steven H.

    I loved this location and the setting is excellent. We were there on a Saturday night and so they had lice music as well. Our Service was excellent as was the food and the drinks. I had the gnocchi and I believe I would say it is the best I have ever had. So light. We had the crab cake (yummy), the burrata plate (yum), a mixed salad with filet, fries, and a spectacular crème brûlée. We had a none alcohol sparking (excellent), a Manhattan, and a while flight with pours that we very large. All the food comes from The Market and affiliated business next door. Fabulous, please try.

    The Saint is fairly small but cute. They have candles in the bathroom that they do sell in restaurant as well (I thought it was a unique touch). After sun down they had live music which was absolutely lovely. Our server and host were very kind and attentive as well. Unfortunately, I don't think the food was worth it. The chicken was very dry and I could not eat it. The veggies were good but nothing special. They accidentally brought over a peach salad instead of the chicken dish first, so they let us keep it. The peach salad was also underwhelming. My friend seemed to enjoy her chopped salad though. While the food wasn't great, we did have a good time here as the ambiance and service made up for it!

    I was sitting outside and this beautiful young lady was watering the plants. After introductions she invited me to checkout the inside of The Saint WOW the interior was stunning. Heidi aka the owner invited us to their Friday night Festivities. We can't wait to join in on Wine Tasting fun !!

    There is limited parking on the busy street but we lucked out! There are plenty of comfortable seating areas on couches all around. Perfect for a meet up stop for a glass. It's super cute inside. We walked into our reservations for lunch. It wasn't busy at all, just a couple at the bar. We ordered a champagne flight of 3 glasses which was a great choice to try a few. To order food, your server takes your order and places it from the restaurant next door. I ordered the burger and friend and it was all good! Overall, I would recommend to check out.

    Bank vault table

    We got to enjoy dinner at a private table inside an 1890s bank vault. That alone was pretty cool! They had some live music that started around 7pm as well. The place isn't very big though so the musicians were about standing in the entrance. This place doesn't have their own kitchen they share a kitchen with the restaurant called Market next door so all the food comes from them. Not really a downside, the food was all still really warm and enjoyable. We started with the crab cake, it was great and actually all crab and not crab + fillers. The corn and asparagus relish it sits on was delightful. I got the filet and it was so yummy! Can't go wrong with this dish. Cooked well and had great flavor. The scallop potatoes were delicious! Very cheesy flavor:) My hubs got the salmon. The salmon was awesome! The salmon skin was crispy and that gave it so much wonderful texture! But that pomegranate sauce that came with it was visually off putting. It was bubble gum pink! Looks like salmon in pepto bismol guys.. besides that the dish still tasted great.

    Love the crown molding and lighting, photo doesn't do it justice

    We went to The Saint last Saturday to see Kevin Hague; he was amazing! We always enjoy the ambiance here: dim lighting, cozy couches friendly staff and of course the bubbles! Great wine list. Sometimes we run into the owners, Heidi and Scott, which always makes our time more enjoyable. (Tip: Look for the vibrant blonde with the edgy haircut - that's Heidi and she's great). We highly recommend this friendly hidden gem for a start to your evening or a night cap

    Classy establishment and knowledgeable staff. We were referred over here by another wine tasting room because we just wanted a glass of wine vs. a tasting. This is the place to go for that glass! Reasonably priced and they also make mixed drinks (using soft vs. hard alcohol). Will definitely return.

    Okay, warning... hidden gem alert!!! This place for the win. So, I found this spot on instagram of all places through another page I follow in the St Helena area- and can I say, we love what you guys are doing and offering, keep it up! Living in Napa split time, we sometimes venture up to St Helena and beyond lol. With that said, everyone knows, EVERYTHING, shuts down early and it becomes a sleepy little town at night. Well, this place is a game changer, as far as that's concerned. I've had my sights set on visiting for a few months. I finally had the opportunity to pop in. I was not disappointed. Think old brick building, with a the nostalgic stamped tin roof, chandeliers, and even an old bank vault that you can dine in- plush black couches, dim lighting, intimate, yet a total vibe, and live music. To further compliment this stellar ambience, wine, craft-cocktails, even a dinner menu, annnnd dessert! The night I visited, it was a quieter night, which was fine. We popped in for dessert and some dessert wine. We were sat promptly, the staff was wonderful and welcoming. They told us all about the great live music for the evening. We also met the owner. She was a wonderful gal, extremely personable, and she even helped us, herself. We were tasting dessert wines, to which I was searching for my calling that evening lol. Lo and behold, she pulled a secret squirrel stash French dessert wine out of her vault that was off menu, which I ordered- of course lol. We also ordered two of their most decadent chocolate desserts because it was just that kind of night and they were great. We really appreciated the attentiveness and the friendliness of the staff and owner. Also, from what I've seen on their Instagram page, this place gets a bit live and quite the crowd. We just happened to pop in on a quieter evening. They also have an exclusive social club that we learned about, which gathers monthly. This is a must visit hidden gem in St Helena. You will not be disappointed, especially if you're looking for a night life, but without the sloppy bar experience (downtown Napa after 9pm) lol. This place is trendy and upscale and gives you the nightlife vibe and so much more. So thank you, The Saint for waking up little St Helena!

    We had the steak which was cooked to perfection. Crab cakes were also good. Extensive perfect wine list also. We will be back

    Had a brief visit for a glass of wine and a snack. The food generally is served down next door at the Market. We had a hummus dish which was very nice and was washed down by a glass of wine from the list. We share a pasta from the Market Next door and had a quiet evening.

    Pizzeria Tra Vigne in St. Helena is the kind of neighborhood gem that keeps drawing you back--and…read morein our case, it has. I've visited a couple of times with my family, and each visit reinforces why this spot is so beloved. The atmosphere is effortlessly inviting, especially the relaxing outdoor seating, which feels perfectly suited to the easy pace of Napa Valley. It's casual, comfortable, and ideal for lingering over a good meal with people you enjoy. The food consistently delivers. Their calamari is a favorite--crispy, well-seasoned, and reliably delicious--and the pizza never disappoints, with a satisfying balance of fresh toppings and a perfectly cooked crust. Everything tastes fresh, comforting, and simply yummy in the best way. Service deserves special mention: the employees are friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making the experience feel warm and unrushed every time. Pizzeria Tra Vigne strikes a wonderful balance between quality food and relaxed dining, making it a place we're always happy to return to.

Disorderly service, & it was obvious our server's attention was stretched quite thin. We shared a Chopped Salad ($15.95) which was nothing to write home about; a delicious al dente Rigatoni Bolognese ($19.50); & a disappointing New Yorker pizza ($27.50 for the larger size.) Its soggy crust & tasteless pepperoni made me question why so many tables had a pie as part of their meal. Perhaps I'm missing something, but I would not recommend Pizzeria Tra Vigne for their pizza based on my single visit.

    Date of Visit: 3/28/2026…read more We visited The Forum at Meadowood Napa Valley for afternoon late lunch. Between the hours of 3 to 6pm, there was a Golden Hour menu that offers light foods, including vegetable tempura, burgers, poke etc. There are some selection of cocktails and wine with a discounted price. Schramsberg, Brut Rosé, North Coast 2021 $21 Husband got the Brut Rosé that was bubbly and refreshing. Rivers-Marie, Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast 2023 $20 I got the Chardonnay with the taste of zesty lemon and candied lemon peel. Walter Hansel "Cahill Lane," Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley 2022 $20 And we ordered the third glass of Pinot Noir to pair with foods. This tastes like a traditional Pinot Noir of California with the mushroom earthy smell and the shoe box aroma. Spring Vegetable Tempura $22 I ordered the spring vegetable tempuras made from Meadowood Farm vegetables, including asparagus, leek etc. On the side there were a bowl of English pea pesto. Forum Burger $23 Husband got the burger with medium grilled Akaushi beef, onion-bacon jam, cheddar cheese, secret sauce, brioche bun, and also French fries on the side.

    *Would only go back for wine & outdoor lounge space... not for the food…read more Pros: Wine selection was great! Ambiance was wonderful! Service was good, albeit slower. Outdoor space looks amazing & is pup-friendly. Cons: If you're hungry, eat before you go. Bring snacks for in-between courses. You might have to stop off to grab food on the way home. Thankful they kept bringing the yummy bread! Lacked course timing, underseasoned, pricey. $550 later, yet we left underwhelmed & unfulfilled. Our meal took over 3.5 hours... (details below)... there's a fine line between building anticipation/ "hunger sauce" & causing anxiety/ frustration. **Napa Restaurant Month** If you wanted a steak (ie. the "NY strip" offered as part of their limited-time prix fixe menu), this is probably not what you're looking for. Gray, gray, gray... no matter your temp preference, medium? Gray... Medium rare? Gray... Rare? Gray. Perhaps the sous vide method with added grill marks, but they should tell customers that since most folks are expecting a steak-like steak. Oh, and it's actually just 3 slices OF A steak (questionable if truly NY cut), barely room temperature, but tasted okay (needed a dash of seasoning). Our meal took 3.5 hours... mostly because the kitchen "timed" the courses 30+ minutes apart. Maybe they were going for dramatic effect, but there's a fine line between "hunger sauce" & frustration. None of the courses were so complicated to justify the wait AND the place was nearly empty. Our wine pairings were poured 10-15 minutes before each course, so we sat there trying not to drink the wine because we wanted to taste it WITH our food. We had a nice time with friends, but the timing was a bit strange. The food: Course 1 - Hamachi was really good! 3 slices with jalapeño crema, radish, cilantro, lime vinaigrette. Course 2 - Chicken tortilla soup. 4 spoonfuls of luke warm tomato soup poured over a few cubed morsels. This had the flavor of spaghettiOs. When I said it out loud to our table, everyone laughed & agreed... it was the taste they were all trying to peg. Course 3 - NY strip. 3 slices of almost-warm, gray meat with 3 potato slices, 2 carrot halves, sautéed Swiss chard, chimichurri. Veggies were tasty. Course 4 - (they ran out) so we got something from their regular menu. The sesame citrus gâteau was not my favorite. The cheesecake was so bitter, I took 2 bites & could not eat anymore. We also ordered for the table: -- Elotes (not very good, still on the cob,not worth the effort); -- Brussels sprouts (fresh, but undercooked & underseasoned); -- Mushrooms (naturally flavorful, but unseasoned); -- Their complimentary bread plate & olive oil was Yum!!

The sugar snap peas were garden fresh and provide nice texture and sweet balance. -Drinks: I had the Pinot and my girl had the Chardonnay. Both were excellent!

The greeter was friendly and seated us right away. Our waiter was good with suggestions and descriptions of food/beverages. Each dish was presented with corresponding descriptions. Water glasses never empty. Pacing was just right. All things you expect from a Michelin restaurant. Bravo Press!!! I hope you get your **.

The menu pulls off a rare balancing act, offering French, Mexican, and American cuisines without feeling like it was assembled by a culinary committee with commitment issues.

The wine selection is thoughtfully curated and perfectly proportionate--robust enough to excite wine lovers, but not so massive that you need a sommelier and a flashlight to get through it.

The salad was a good portion and loaded with toppings including hard boiled egg, homemade croutons, cheese, etc. And dressed just right. The "cup" of chili was a good sized bowl. It was the best chili I've ever had in a restaurant! Plenty of beef with a mix of cubed (chili cut) and ground beef. The spice level was just right, no added hot sauce needed, topped with cheddar and raw onion. My wife couldn't finish hers, but after finishing mine, as much as I wanted to I couldn't either! This may be a long review for salad and chili but the service made Rutherford Grill one of our best meals in Napa. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.

    If you're looking for that quintessential, old-school Napa vibe without the stiff "tasting-menu"…read moretheater, **Rutherford Grill** remains the undisputed king of the crossroads. It's the kind of place where you'll see local winemakers at the island bar, rubbing elbows with visitors who know exactly where to find the best seat in the valley. ### **The Atmosphere & Service** The energy here is high but perfectly balanced by a gracious, attentive staff. The service strikes that rare "appropriate formality" note--polished and professional, yet comfortable enough that you don't feel like you're on display. It feels established, reliable, and deeply rooted in the region's history. ### **The Wine List** As expected for its location, the wine list is an extensive collection of Napa favorites. Whether you're looking for a legendary Rutherford Bench Cabernet or a crisp local Sauvignon Blanc, the selection is curated to complement the bold, wood-fired flavors coming out of the display kitchen. ### **The Food** The menu focuses on American grill classics executed with uncompromising consistency. * **Starters:** If they are in season, the **Grilled Artichokes** are mandatory. Halved and charred to perfection with just the right amount of seasoning, they are arguably the best in Northern California. The **Deviled Eggs** are another staple--creamy, classic, and the perfect opening act. * **The Main Event:** You can't go wrong with the **Cheeseburger**. It's a masterclass in simplicity: fresh ground chuck, melted cheddar, and a toasted house-made egg bun. * **The Curveball:** The **Enchiladas** (often served as a butternut squash and white cheddar version or paired with tri-tip) are a sophisticated take on comfort food, offering a rich, savory depth that pairs surprisingly well with a heavy Napa red. **Verdict:** Whether it's a business lunch or a post-tasting dinner, Rutherford Grill delivers a high-quality, soulful experience that never goes out of style.
