    Oyster Shot
    Courtney C.

    Came here last minute and was a little disappointed. This restaurant is one of the places that only has a digits QR code instead of a regular menu. There were a lot of specials on the menu and a lot of options. However, the rolls seem limited and very similar. The food we ordered wasn't bad but it wasn't great, it almost seemed that it was overly fresh/cold so a lot of the fish did not have a lot of flavor. The roll also took a very long time for us and what looked like for other tables. The service was confusing, the entire time I was not clear if we had one waitress or if everyone could take the order. Multiple people came by at first to take our order then disappeared. Overall the food was disappointing, although everything looked great it was all lacking in flavor.

    We found our new go-to sushi spot in town. Fish was fresh, service was friendly, & the sake selection was great. We're excited to come back soon to try more delicious sushi & sake!

    Really sad to see how much this place is declining. It's been a measurably worse experience every time we come in (about once or twice a month). What started as the sushi joint this town needed, with possibly the best front-of-house manager we've ever seen, who literally held the place together at the time, has become a place where we're greeted at the door with nothing more than a gesture toward the dining room to find our own seats. Then we're handed a disgustingly dirty stack of stapled papers that now serves as the menu. Just a couple of months ago they had nice laminated menu folders. Staring at a brown-stained, low-ink printed sheet of paper does not make you crave raw fish... or anything else for that matter. Why on earth would they think this is a good idea? We never really know who our server is anymore, and when one finally came over, he had clearly just come back from smoking outside and absolutely reeked of cigarettes. Again, not exactly an appetizing way to start a sushi date. A quick note: we showed up about 30 minutes after opening, so the staff needing a cigarette break that soon after opening for lunch seemed a little questionable. We ordered, and thankfully the quality of the fish is still top notch, as it has always been. The only change there is that the portions of sashimi and nigiri have shrunk by about 30%. While waiting for our food, the same server took another table's order while half-sitting on the empty table behind him. I doubt the people who eventually sat there would have appreciated knowing that someone's backside had been resting where their food would soon be served. With the new AUCE restaurant in town showing a lot of promise and serving good-quality food (maybe not quite the same selection or quality, but good nonetheless), I would expect a restaurant trying to position itself above that level to offer better service and menus that don't look like they were left next to a urinal before being brought back into the dining room. Seriously disappointing. What a quick fall. We'll probably give it one or two more chances, especially since I'm seeing similar comments here on Yelp, but after that we may have to start looking elsewhere again. To think we have recommended this place to a lot of people who might now question our taste in restaurants is not great... I genuinely hope management sees reviews like this and makes some changes, because they're heading in the wrong direction very quickly.

    Oyster Shooters
    Sandra M.

    Dropped in for what was supposed to be a drink and a couple of apps, but we kept ordering more food because everything was good--we had a full dinner before we knew it. The standouts were the hamachi crudo and the oyster shooters. I wanted to go back the next day just for these shooters, but alas we didn't have time. The grilled eggplant skewer was also yummy and a good deal at $3. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering it's Napa. Sapporos were buy one get one free, which was an unexpected bonus.

    Crab Coast
    Kris M.

    We thoroughly enjoyed the food here. The takoyaki is legit and with a good heaping of nori! The nigiris were delicious with flavors that matched the fish really well. We enjoyed the crab coast roll as well. We also got a mango roll but you couldn't really taste the mango and also the sashimi salad but it was drowned by the vinaigrette. We suggest cutting the dressing by a bit. We would love to come back if we are in the area again!

    Came by without a reservation for dinner on a Saturday and were lucky to be seated immediately despite it being quite busy. Despite the number of customers, it's quite spacious and upscale inside, with dim mood lighting. We ordered a hamachi collar and 4 rolls to share, which was just enough for us to be full. The fish was fresh, but some of the sauces and flavors didn't really seem to match the fish. The hamachi collar was excellent, and I would definitely get that again. For the price, it's not the best sushi you can get, but definitely a solid spot for the area with some good quality rolls that would be nice for a special treat or night out. I don't imagine coming here often but would definitely consider visiting every once in a while when I'm craving sushi and in the area!

    veggie tempura roll w soy paper and mango crunch roll w soy paper
    Savannah B.

    Went to amami with a friend after several recommendations and it totally delivered! Was told the prices were better the Eikos so wanted to give it a shot. Paid $100 for 4 rolls, miso, gyoza, and yakatori, which was totally reasonable. The veggie tempura and mango crunch roll were a little sweet, but still good (would likely skip mango next time). The waygu yakatori was 11/10- definitely recommend!

    Came here on a busy Saturday night and ended up scoring the last table. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive even though the restaurant was swamped. The food was amazing, our favorite was the yellowtail and amaebi. Cute little restaurant, we will be back when we're in the area.

    Salmon teriyaki which was overcooked
    Richard H.

    While scrolling through Yelp where to have dinner in Napa, after learning that one of my favorite restaurants that I had chosen was closed that evening for a private party, I saw Amami Sushi and remembered that Chef Alan had opened a forth location here after his others located in San Bruno and South San Francisco. Only a short drive from where we were staying, we arrived at 6:30 pm on a Thursday evening where we were seated at a four top table adjacent to the sushi bar. Unlike his other 3 locations which are in older buildings where the interior dining area is not as modern, the Napa location is different. A clean, sleek and modern interior greets one who enters located on the corner lot shared by another business. Looking at the menu, we ended up ordering Karage and a Dynamite roll followed by a teriyaki salmon dinner and Hokkaido Don. Karage was fully cooked and very good however wish the outer skin would have been slightly kore brown. A slight hiccup occurred when I had requested my salmon be cooked rare and it came out Medium in which I politely returned it only to learn from the server that the kitchen had again cooked it again as Medium. At this point, my wife had already finished her entree as considerable time had passed before learning of the 2nd miscue. No worries as I decided to order the same entree as my wife and like hers the selected cuts of fish over the rice were very fresh and I especially like the dab of Uni over the fish. Ended up receiving a complimentary glass of wine afterwards and would still return here for my next visit. Just like his other locations they are only open for lunch and close for several hours before serving dinner starting at 5 pm. Restrooms are modern and clean during my visit and are shared with the other business located in the same building.

    I've been wanting to try this kaiseki restaurant in Napa for the longest time, and I finally…read moremanaged to get a reservation. It absolutely lived up to the reputation! From the moment we walked in, the service was truly first-class. Every detail was thoughtful and beautifully executed. They even surprised us with a glass of Cabernet Franc to pair with the A5 Wagyu. The pairing was fantastic--the Wagyu was incredibly tender, literally melting in my mouth, yet surprisingly not greasy or heavy at all. They also paired a sweet dessert wine with the dessert, which was such a nice touch. I'm honestly not a dessert person at all, but their Jasmine Pear completely won me over. I absolutely loved it! Every single course was delicious, beautifully presented, and thoughtfully balanced. The whole experience felt very refined without being stuffy or overly formal. It's the kind of restaurant where you can appreciate not only the food, but also the attention to detail, hospitality, and the entire dining experience. Definitely one of those Napa experiences that I'm glad I finally got to try. I would happily come back again!

Not only did I enjoyed each course, but it also stretched my pallet and presented opportunities for my to mature to trying dishes I never thought of. I invite you to review the photos and the descriptions to solidify your decision to make a reservation.

    Always a great time! Good food, great vibe, convenient location, and the nicest staff…read more Oysters are always fresh and come with a great mignonette sauce. Acme Bread + Butter is also fresh and tasty. Garlic Fries have the perfect amount of garlic and are cooked crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Very yummy. I've had other items from here before that were all just as delicious - some other things you should try: - Chipotle Bourbon grilled oysters - Steamed Mussels - Hog Island Clam Chowder - Rustic Seafood - Any of the Sandwiches - House-made Pickled Veggies (if you like pickled veggies) They are located at the Oxbow Public Market, so there are other goodies to check out while you are there.

I suggest the counter service which allows you to see the "action" from the cooking staff. We ordered the grilled oysters and steamed mussels with both being really good. The mussels were a generous portion and the broth was tasty and garlicky, not too salty. Service was efficient, nothing spectacular. They do offer a Happy Hour menu but we weren't able to take advantage of it due to the time we were there. I do think Hog Island Oyster is one of the better restaurant options inside the Oxbow Public Market.
