    The food was better when they first opened. The Chilean Seabass could've been terrific, but was ruined by a horrible chef choice on the sauce. The chef appears to be attempting to stretch the crab enchilada sauce for use in other choices that just aren't a match. The scallops were oversalted before cooking. This restaurant isn't bad, but it's no longer great. Sad when a great kitchen goes downhill. The only reason it remains a reasonable value is because most downtown Napa restaurants are grossly overpriced at mediocre quality.

    The food was amazing as was the service. We were sat in the bar area which was noisy and the ambiance not that of the main restaurant, but the food and service made up for it! The ceviche was fantastic, the mussels were excellent and the branzino was like butter!

    Our waiter, Roy, was professional, personable, and paced the dinner courses perfectly! Each of our dishes were excellent! The noise level can get up there, making conversation a bit of a challenge. A worthy spot to dine at on Napas Riverfront!

    This was our 2nd time visiting and the food was exceptionally delicious. We ordered an old fashion (had ordered one sometime ago somewhere else and didn’t like it) thought I’d give it one more shot. Our server said she’d prepárate it the way she likes hers. It was savory perfect balance of sweetness that didn’t take away from the whisky.

    Noise level was great until one large, noisy group arrived and were not very mindful of their screaming voices. Otherwise, family friendly, amazing service.
