As someone who loves French cuisine, I highly recommend Angele Restaurant & Bar whenever you're in Napa, CA The restaurant perfectly captures the charm of a classic French bistro, with beautiful riverfront views, a relaxed atmosphere, and outstanding food inspired by the French countryside. Everything we ordered was fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The Niçoise salad was delicious, the escargot with crusty bread was the perfect appetizer, and the cocktails were just as enjoyable. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere made us want to stay a little longer and simply enjoy the evening. If you appreciate authentic French flavors, quality ingredients, and a beautiful setting by the Napa River, this place is absolutely worth visiting. I'll definitely be back! read more

First off, the food is quite nice. However, their service needs major upgrade. We had a large party of 15 on a Saturday night and when we made the reservation we were warned of a late charge if we show up late, no problem. As it turns out, 2 of the 15 came 15min late but we started ordering without them, so I don't think they caused much of a delay on the whole, but we were charged a late charge nonetheless. What make this experience infuriating is that they don't tell you about the late charge until I looked at the bill (on top of that they added service charge to the late charge as part of the bill)! I didn't want to make a scene with my large party, so I paid it. However after some email exchanges the next day they refunded the late charge to me.....but it does leave a sour taste in your mouth, especially how they tried to sneak it in as part of the original bill. So watch out with this place. read more

After a full day of wine tastings, we wanted a classic French restaurant for dinner and landed on Angèle. The vibe was a bit more casual than I expected, but it still had a classy, romantic feel. It sits right by the water, so if the weather permits, reserving an outdoor table would be such a dreamy move. We started with the beef tartare, which came with a huge egg yolk--always a plus for me. It was good, but nothing too memorable, and we didn't care much for the extra sides like the mustard and pickled veggies. The duck confit was solid, though I think it would have been even better with more of a carb element, like mashed potatoes, parsnips, or polenta, plus a little extra sauce. The agnolotti was my absolute favorite. The handmade pasta was stuffed with ricotta and paired with savory wild mushrooms. It was rich, cozy, and incredibly flavorful--completely up my alley. read more

Was here recently for the second time. Went as two couples and sat outdoors on a perfect Napa evening. Service was very friendly and professional. Can't remember our server's name but she quickly took our drink order, primarily wines by the glass. She was also very good about describing the specials and answering our questions about the menu. The various dishes were brought at appropriate intervals and we had a wonderful, relaxed evening. All of our wines were fresh and served at the proper temperature. In terms of food I had the potato leek soup and the agnolotti both of which were delicious. We finished with some sorbets and limoncello. Overall a great dinner. Highly recommended. read more

we went to anjali's today and it was absolutely amazing. my girlfriend and i went together for a date night and we got three main dishes: - the duck confit - the beef bourguignon - i forget what the last dish was called, the anglia otto pasta dish or something like that all three were absolutely phenomenal. if i were to rank the favorite dishes from most favorite to mid then i would start with duck confit, beef bourguignon, and then the pasta dish. perhaps the fact that i don't remember what it's called says something about the pasta dish in itself. that being said it was the one with wild mushroom and a cream sauce, which is really good. i think it was cremini mushrooms, very tasty. starting with the duck confit, the dish also had duck sausage which was phenomenal. the casing on it had a big snap to it and you could tell it's different than a normal sausage because a duck sausage has a slight gamey poultry flavor to it. absolutely delicious. the duck confit was crispy, the meat inside was flavorful, tender, juicy, and there were cherries that accompanied the duck. classic culinary pairing as well as some arugula to help cut the fat and the heaviness of the red wine sauce as well. i would definitely get that again and highly recommend it for anyone who comes here. next dish was a beef bourguignon. that one is very solid. the beef was fall-apart tender, the red wine sauce was very tasty, and the red wine shined through. i felt like i drank a glass of wine as i ate that even though i didn't actually drink a glass of wine, it was just a sauce. the pearl onions were very very tender, the carrots were delicious, and the mushrooms were also very good. a well-executed dish. lastly the pasta dish, mushrooms are delicious. i think the inside of the pasta thing was like cheese and mushrooms. pasta i think could've been cooked a tiny bit better or a tiny bit more. it was slightly on the extra al dente side. overall the waitstaff was very friendly, very nice. the ambience was beautiful, gorgeous. we got to watch the sunset over the mountains and hills in napa valley right on the napa river. in fact there are just plenty of places to take pictures around the restaurant. highly recommend for anyone who goes to napa valley. read more

We had a wonderful meal over Memorial Day weekend. The restaurant wasn't very crowded and we had a great seat. The ambiance is very charming and cozy. We started with cocktails and appetizers. The artichokes are so good! Every one loved their entrees, agnolotti was amazing as was the fish. I'm so happy we ventured out and can't wait to go back again. read more

Always a lovely experience. I often prefer this establishment for lunch versus dinner. Your choice to sit inside or outside, but we always enjoy sitting inside for a little bit more of the French atmosphere. If and when available, always get the French onion soup. I believe it just hit the menu again at the time of our visit. The beet salad, the fried artichokes and their recommendations on single Glass wine pairings are always top-notch. We always end our visit with a stroll along the Napa Riverwalk, something you'll need to do after consuming the amazing food and being tended in by their wonderful service. read more

We've been fortunate to dine here several times. It's always such a treat. During this last visit, the restaurant was decorated very tastefully for the holidays. I love the warm lighting inside. I had the lamb and israel couscous which i loved! i don't usually like israeli couscous, but i loved it in this dish. There was just the right amount and it was dressed with brussel sprouts, persimmons and jus. Such a perfect winter meal. We also enjoyed the pepper and cheese fried biscuits, oxtail and lentil and the onion and goat cheese tart. Everything was freshly prepared and delicious! Service was warm, knowledgeable and efficient. I'm already looking forward to our next visit. read more

This restaurant is amazing! We had reservations, and ended up cancelling. But our concierge, Maria, at The Harvest Inn where we were staying said it's the best and we absolutely needed to go, so we went and super happy we did! Shout out to Maria at The Harvest Inn! We started off ordering two cocktails, the CLEAR CONSCIENCE which is vodka, cucumber, ginger, and lime and the PLEAD THE PITH which is mezcal, punt e mes, grapefruit, and salt. Both great! And an appetizer, the beef tartare. The bread came warm and soft, and the butter to die for! We ordered the NICOISE SALAD which is tuna conserva, baby potatoes, olives haricot verts, garden lettuces, and farm egg. My husband LOVED IT! I ordered the CHICKEN POT PIE with chicken, carrots, potatoes, leeks, button mushrooms, and veloute. It was not on the menu, and was a special. Seriously the best I've ever had! I'm still craving it, I'd eat it everyday if I could. You can tell all the ingredients are fresh. The service was impeccable, our waiter was so nice and funny, and our table was always clean. Multiple servers would come by and clean up our crumbs! They have outside and indoor seating. I'll definitely come back! read more

My friend and I had a reservation at Angele and came for dinner. The atmosphere is French and charming, and even on a Tuesday night the restaurant was quite busy. We both had great cocktails and started with the salmon mousse, which was amazing. I love beef tartare so I had to try it, but this one didn't blow me away. Something was mixed in that overpowered the whole dish. For my main course I had the beef bourguignon (I can never spell that right), and it was so tasty. I'd definitely come back! read more

Had a wonderful dinner at Angèle to celebrate my wife's birthday. The food was very good, with generous portions and prepared at a very high level. One highlight was my Fox Hunt cocktail, very tasty! Lastly, the restaurant setting and ambience reminded us of a quaint French farmhouse, really cute. The staff was also excellent, acknowledging my wife's birthday and the reservation mix up (my original reservation was canceled unexpectedly and I had to rebook). Throughout the evening, they checked in on us, helped us pace our order to have a relaxing dinner, really showed they cared - true professionals. All in all, I'd recommend Angèle to friends and family with confidence. read more

Day trip to Napa and after wondering around downtown for a few hours ended up walking here to Angele. Venue sits next to the Napa River and we sat outside under a covered awning.

First of all, the food here is incredible. Secondly, the bar is incredible. Thirdly, the wine list is great. This is one of the best restaurants in the entirety of the Napa Valley, and in the Bay Area, overall. Honestly, if the low average review keeps away tourists, fine. But y'all should know this place is amazing. read more

Lunch was great and yummy! Onion soup was tasty as it was not overly salted, mussels were just cooked perfect! Staff were very friendly. The restaurant is very pretty with some sinpke beautiful flower arrangement. A 4 1/2 star would've been given, because staff asked "if we wanted another lemonade?" So, thought it was a free refill (we should've asked). Instead he could have said "Do you want to order another lemonade?" All over lunch was very good. We would definitely go back! read more

Love how close Napa is ....The most perfect day in wine country! Dinner at a fav -Angele! Seriously amazing French food with some great homemade pasta selections too. Great creative drink list! We had the garlicky delish escargot to start, along with the crisp fried artichoke hearts. Both are must gets! The beef bourguignon was everyone's fav- fall apart short rib with classic veggies and a dark sauce over homemade pasta. The rigatoni with sausage, broccoli rabe, and breadcrumbs was amazing! And of course I had to get the duck! Crispy confit of duck leg and thigh, served tonight (prep varies) with greens, sunchokes, and a huckleberry sauce that was not sweet. Desserts looked killer but we decided to go next door and drink ours at The Fink. This amazing bar has a book (for real) of craft cocktails in a super cool atmosphere. Love Napa! read more

Came here for a bachelorette celebration and was left slightly disappointed! Prices were steep, and though the ambience was nice, a lot of the food was quite salty - from the escargots to the French onion soup. The fried artichoke hearts were perhaps my favorite dish. The soup was good but too salty too. I also got the rigatoni which seemed to be the highest rated item on their reviews and thought it was ok. The flavors were a bit overpowering and it was a lot of flavors going on at the same time. Portions were huge in order to justify the steep price, though I think there are definitely other places that could justify the price for better quality food! Overall an average place to have a nice group meal in a nice setting. read more

This was not our first time at Angèle but it's been a few years. The food was phenomenal, our server and wait staff was on point.

Thanks again for making such a special night for my family. read more

This was our first time at Angèle. We had a 715 reservation on a Saturday evening, but we're not seated 20 minutes later. They were super apologetic and gave us a huge order of fries. We love the ambience and vibe of the restaurant. Our server was very attentive along with the bus boys. Empty dishes were always cleared and no water glasses were always filled. Now let's talk about the food, we ordered the escargot, sea bream, mussels, steak frites, and agnolotti. All the dishes were excellent! It was overall a great meal. We're definitely coming back the next time we are in Napa. read more

Have always enjoyed Angele. Wonderful food, ambience and setvice. Strongly recommend. Enjoy the lovely patio.

The service was exceptional. They were very nice about opening/closing the umbrellas and starting the fire heaters. AND there was a yellowjacket harassing our table and the waiter provided us with rosemary which did keep the yellowjacket away from us for a good while. I came with a large party and I don't know the specifics on how it was coordinated, but we got a set menu and it was family style so here is what we had: Garden Lettuce Salad: It was a salad all right! It was fine, lightly dressed (in my personal opinion but I'm a heavy dresser). It was just lettuce, radishes, and that's it. Pretty simple but I personally wouldn't order this as an app for myself (I'm more of a ceasar salad girlie) Pâté de Campagne: hmm... this was definitely a dish my table was not familiar with but essentially it's glorified lunch meat. It reminded me of the mystery meat you would see in the movies that school cafeterias sell. It looks kinda gnarly but the taste was WAY better than expected. They also provided different mustards to dip in. I dipped mine in the Dijon which added a nice small kick to it. Tortellini: this was the HIGHLIGHT of the meal for SURE. Super refreshing with it's corn innards. 10/10! They served about 5-6 per person and truthfully, I wanted an entire BUCKET of it. Duck confit: personally, I am not a fan of duck. so this was never going to be a HIT for me, and it wasn't! But I still ate it and it still was pretty yummy. It sat on a bed of lentils and carrots and the lentils were a bit salty but went perfectly with the side of mash potatoes we had. Petrole Sole: I loved it. It was perfectly juicy, had a bit of a nice lemony-zest feel to it. It's a great summer dish and I felt really refreshed (and I'm not normally a fish person) read more

Got food poisoning from the beef tartare!! I was there a week and a half ago, I asked the server what was beef tartare, told me that it was minced meat but forgot the most important thing to tell me, that it was "raw"! After a week, when I started to recuperate, I remembered having seen warnings at other food establishments warning consumers Of raw meat consumption, then I googled information on food safety requirements, and found the following "Under the FDA Food Code, food establishments must provide a Consumer Advisory consisting of two parts: * Granicus +1 1. Disclosure: A clear written statement on the menu indicating that the steak tartare is served raw, or an asterisk next to the dish directing to a footnote that explicitly states the item contains raw or undercooked ingredients. * Granicus +1 2. Reminder: A footnote placed on the menu stating: "Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have...." The menu also was missing that required Disclosure! read more

We dined here for our anniversary and the ambiance/experience was 5 stars. Our server and the rest of the staff were lovely. I made a reservation on Open Table and noted it was our anniversary dinner and we were greeted with two small glasses of bubbles, beautiful. We took a while to figure out what to order since everything looked good but we landed on: Housemade brioche: this was good but $16 is a bit much for a small roll of bread Olives: More my husbands thing but he finished them off so they must be good Rigatoni: After consulting with our server, I picked the rigatoni since I don't usually have pasta at restaurants. For some reason I pictured a red sauce coming out so I was surprised at first, but I enjoyed it. Beef bourguignon: My husband liked this, but after tasting my pasta said he would get the rigatoni next time. I'm not a fan of this dish in general so it wasn't for me. And we washed it all down with a bottle of wine. This is definitely a special occasion restaurant and I think that is reflected in the price and serving sizes, for better or for worse. read more

My boyfriend and I came here for a last-minute date night in Napa. We actually planned to go to another restaurant, but they were closed so we found ourselves at Angele. It was so busy and expected to wait a bit, but to our pleasant surprise, we were seated immediately outside. The weather was great, our server was super attentive, and the food was fantastic! We shared escargot, fried artichoke, and rigatoni. This restaurant is definitely on the pricy side, but absolutely worth the experience. We also ordered a bottle of rose and our server helped us make that selection as well. I can't believe I've been dining at Napa restaurants for years and only now discovered this gem! read more
