    Charlie Palmer steak in Archer hotel in Napa is a great restaurant but I wouldn’t call it a “steakhouse”. As a local, I’ve been here several times over the last five years for both breakfast and dinner. The restaurant layout is comfortable, In fact pretty casual. The service here has always been top-notch, but there has been a few changes over the years and I understand the margins are narrow but the food quality has gone down. I particularly noticed that for the tomahawk steaks. We came for Christmas dinner where they also offered prime rib as part of the Christmas set menu ($85). What I found strange is the meat quality of the prime rib was the same as a tomahawk and ribeye. It was very lean with no flavor. It is unlike any other Tomahawks I’ve had here over the years. I can only conclude that the quality of the meat for the steaks has changed. There’s no marbling , no flavor and I get seasoning is always to taste, but it was bland. Some other changes include a $45 corkage fee even for wines from Napa before it was no charge if the wine you brought was from Napa. There’s also a fee for bread service. As far as ambience, if you’re sitting to the right in the area of the lobby, the lights above are so bright that it just takes away from the ambience and the intimacy of dinner and makes it more like a cafeteria. The cream spinach was just too thick and soggy. Sadly, we cancelled our dinner plans for New Year’s Eve dinner here because I don’t trust the inconsistency of the food. I do hope they re-look their protein supply and bring back to greatness their steaks. I probably won’t return.

    Charlie Palmer Steak at the iconic Archer Hotel provides expertly cooked various cuts of steak with equally well-prepared sides and desserts. Staff is friendly and incredibly attentive. Happy hour specials cannot be beat, and excellent cocktails are always being crafted. A must-do if staying in downtown Napa!

    Lauren was our stellar server! Excellent is one word. Albi and Isabella where the backups for our table and between the three we wanted for nothing. Smart, professional service you’d expect. We had a challenging couple next to us and Lauren handled them with aplomb. We highly recommend dinner here. Thank you, Lauren, Isabella and Albi. Also, we had a drink before dinner at the Whisky Bar (fantastic night views of downtown) and Coy the bartender made two excellent drinks. That was followed by drinks at the lobby bar courtesy of Edgar and a wonderful young woman whose name sadly escaped my addled brain. Again Coy, Edgar and the young woman were really welcoming and served great drinks. Onward to the Dino g room and what a festive and fun evening with great food, great ambiance and superb staff.

    $200 steak dinner and you are sitting in a hotel lobby. Find a local restaurant to eat at. There are plenty of great restaurants in this downtown area for far better value, experience, ambiance, and food quality.

    The lighting was way way too bright. We asked to turn it down, and they couldn’t do it because the dimmers weren’t working.

    Enjoyed the tomahawk steak very much, the Mac & Cheese left something to be desired.

    Excellent Service and great Thanksgiving Meal for the family! The dessert selections were not great the pecan tart crust was very hard. We also had 2 other desserts and they were ok. However, The Steaks were AMAZING!
