We stopped by Napa's Oxbow Public Market for an easy late lunch. We were starving and got a beef…read morekefta flatbread and lamb shoulder over couscous. I loved the grilled lamb shoulder which was tender with a good char and served over the couscous mix with raisins, chickpeas, and almonds it was a great bite! The preserved lemon and mint yogurt were great flavor additions. The beef kefta was good as well and nicely wrapped in the flatbread for an easy handheld bite but didn't have as much flavor as the lamb. We also got a mint tea to drink which was a nice sweet tea but didn't have the herbiness of the mint tea we had in Morocco which was a bit disappointing. Overall great quick meal with a ton of flavor. I wish Moro would open up in SF but we'll have to catch it again the next time we're in Napa!

Ordered beef, give chicken instead of beef, but they easily changed it to beef salad. They prepare…read morethe food quickly; however there were 2 employees, which made the wait to order a bit slow, as they were handling orders and taking orders. Beef with salad kinda tasted weird/bad. Unfortunate. However, their shrimp in a falafel was very good. It comes with some greens, 5 shrimps, and some sauce. A solid option for a quick grab-and-go lunch within the food court.

Kitchen Door ended up being one of our favorite meals in downtown Napa. The vibe was relaxed but…read morestill lively and family friendly. We ordered the Pad Thai, and it was packed with flavor with just the right mix of sweet, savory, and tangy. The teriyaki wings were a real highlight crispy, tender, and full of flavor. Our kids loved the wings and white sauce pasta. The chicken breast with mashed potatoes was cooked perfectly and really delicious too. The service was friendly and attentive without ever feeling rushed, and the staff had some great recommendations for both food and drinks. It's a great spot whether you're stopping in for lunch, happy hour, or a casual dinner after exploring downtown Napa. We'd definitely come back the next time we're in town!

My partner was skilled at finding delicious restaurants in the area and we checked this place out…read more I had never actually checked out this quaint downtown area before until this visit so it was pleasant to walk around to see all the tasting rooms along with the bookstores and other pleasant shops. We came in right before the restaurant filled out at 10am and got the shakshuka along with a burger and fries. Everything was made perfectly and so flavorful. The chefs certainly have a skill for optimal taste and cooking as that was the best meal of the weekend. The server was so attentive and sweet too! We always had our water refilled and several friendly workers asked us about our triathlon experience. Very sweet people!

This was my second time trying Croccante's pizza, but my first time eating it there in person…read more Croccante really has some of my favorite pizza in Napa! Their Detroit-style pizzas have a delicious crust which perfectly compliments their toppings. My favorite pizza being their mushroom pizza! I'm glad I finally got to enjoy their pizzas fresh at the restaurant. Their pizza was as good as the first time I had it (even better since it was fresh), but I got to experience their great service! All the staff was super friendly, and we felt at home. Love Croccante and will continue to be back!

I really enjoyed the food at Croccante. The thin-crust pizza was absolutely delicious, crispy,…read moreflavorful, and exactly how I like it. The chorizo bread was also a standout and definitely something I would order again. The service was okay, nothing particularly memorable, but the disappointing part was that it was my birthday and there was really no acknowledgment or effort to make the occasion feel special. I wasn't expecting a parade , but even a simple "Happy Birthday" acknowledgment. Food-wise, definitely worth the visit, and I'd come back for that pizza. Four stars because the food delivered, but the overall experience could have used a little more warmth, especially for a birthday celebration.

The ribs at this restaurant are in my humble opinion THE BEST IN NAPA!! The ribs aren't drowning…read morein sauce (bbq sauce is offered but you're in charge) and they aren't over seasoned. I didn't taste salt at all . WHATI taste was delicious meat that was falling off the bone. YAY!! It's a small clean restaurant with window dining. You know , a long thin bistro-type table up against the window with stools, so you can look out, while you're having your meal. There's also outdoor seating, if you're so inclined. Did you hear me say "clean?" I didn't want you to miss that observation. The owners work their restaurant and thank God for that. Teresa is the face of the establishment . She took my orders, I took her suggestions and the chef, Teresa's husband, really knows what he's doing! He in charge is the kitchen. Not only does he know his stuff when it comes to the BBQ but he also makes their Banana Pudding!! Loved his take on the pudding. Oh!! I had their potato salad and It was good. You know you always take your chances with someone else's potato salad but theirs is pretty darn good. Had boiled eggs in it and that is always worth some major points! They offer Mack & Cheese that looked pretty good and I think coleslaw. They have other meats as well. You'll have to look em up. Anyway - if you have a hankering for ribs Biscuits BBQ is right downtown. Easy parking in the shade too. You should try it. I'll go out on a limb and tell ya "you can't go wrong." Forgot to tell ya they're priced right too, especially for this town. Oh!!!! They have beer and wine too. Woohoo!!! I hope you go. Tell Teresa Chatterbox Pam sent ya... HaHaHa. Won't get ya a discount but I love my new name "chatterbox"

Only thing I didn't love was the flies inside the restaurant but hard when it's hot outside to keep the flies out I guess. There is a decent amount of seating indoor and outdoor. We opted for indoor since it was hot outside.

We stopped by Gotts for a quick lunch between visiting wineries. The menu is long so I had high…read morehopes that we would like our food as there seems to be something for everyone but honestly the food was pretty disappointing. I tried the chicken tenders, garlic fries, caramelized onion and guyere burger and elote corn on the cob and honestly the best thing I had was the fries. They were flavorful with a good amount of minced garlic and parsley on top. The corn was pretty tasty as well but ultimately the burger was really dry and lacked flavor and the chicken tenders were super dry as well. The honey mustard I got on the side helped with the flavor but the tenders were pretty bland. Ultimately we weren't looking for much, just a quick bite before we had to go to a tasting reservation nearby but I honestly don't think I'd come back.

The ordering was different…read morethis time because we were able to order upon entering and didn't have to wait for a waitperson. The man at the register was very friendly and helpful. My dad got the Coastal Shrimp Salad Bowl and I got the Lemongrass Pork Bao Buns. We both really enjoyed the food and all the flavors in it. It was fun to assemble my own bao buns. There were other things on the menu that I would love to try too! The service after we sat ourselves was quick and friendly. We sat outside this time and it was very pleasant. I like the new interior setup with the ordering upon entering as well. This was completely different experience for us today. We had a lovely lunch and left full and satisfied. Thank you to Heritage Eats for this new experience.

this review was deleted, so wrong! do better tarla…read more I honestly cannot believe I am writing this because this experience was so outrageous that it sounds made up. My mother went to Tarla yesterday with her best friend and ordered a couple of appetizers, which they actually enjoyed. Unfortunately, things took a very different turn when she ordered the crab sandwich and it came out with a brown color to it. When she took a bite, the taste was so awful that she immediately rejected it and could not swallow it. She politely brought this to the server's attention because she genuinely thought there might be something wrong with the food. The server responded with something along the lines of, "Hold onto your pants," and walked away. About 15 minutes later, the cook/chef came over. What happened next was completely unacceptable. Instead of simply listening to my mother's concern, the cook became extremely upset and began raising her voice loud enough for everyone to hear at my mother in front of the entire restaurant. She told my mother that "younger people know this kind of food, but older people world not" (blatantly calling her old multiple times) What makes that statement even more ridiculous is that my mother has 45 YEARS of experience working in the restaurant industry and managing restaurants in Napa Valley. She understands food, restaurants, and restaurant operations extremely well. My sister also worked at this restaurant as a server for quite a long time, so our family is very familiar with the restaurant and the industry. We are not people who walk into a restaurant looking for something to complain about. My mother calmly asked what exactly she supposedly "didn't understand ". The cook then explained that the crab was pasteurized. When my mother said "so it's cooked?" , she said yes and then proceeded to tell her that the crab came from a can. "We just opened up a new can, nothing is wrong" Again, the issue was never that the crab was canned or pasteurized. If that is how the restaurant chooses to prepare and serve its food, that is their choice. The issue was that my mother took one bite, became sick from the taste, and politely asked about it. She deserved to have her concern heard without being belittled. By the end of the interaction, my mother said the entire restaurant was staring at them. She felt completely humiliated and was made to feel as though she was stupid and simply didn't understand what she was talking about. She absolutely understands what she was talking about. After 45 years in the restaurant business, being publicly spoken down to and made to feel ignorant about food by someone who was supposed to be addressing a customer's concern is incredibly disrespectful. The appetizers were good, but no food is worth being treated this way. A customer should be able to say, "Something tastes wrong to me," without being embarrassed in front of an entire dining room. This wasn't about the crab. It was about basic respect and how a customer was treated when she raised a legitimate concern. I'm sharing this here because Tarla is a local Napa restaurant, and I genuinely want to know if anyone else has experienced something similar there. I'm not posting this to start drama or attack anyone; I'm posting it because I truly believe customers deserve to be treated with basic respect, especially when they calmly bring a legitimate concern to a restaurant's attention.

I've known about this spot for quite some time after I read an article from the SF Chronicle…read moreclaiming they had the best chicken sandwich throughout the Bay Area. And just to turn it up a notch, the Chronicle also has them in the Top 25 Best Restaurants in Wine Country. I happened to be in Napa running some errands and decided to finally check them out. I met the owner who was pretty chill and friendly plus took my order. I was there for the chicken sandwich of course, but also wanted to try their Philly Cheesesteak sandwich I've seen on their menu. I also ordered some seasoned fries and a Mexican Sprite. The fries were nicely seasoned and crispy. The chicken had the perfect crisp to it and was juicy inside. The coleslaw inside gave the sandwich a nice tangy twist, while the hot honey had a nice balance of both sweet and spice. I did have a bit of a challenge attacking this since it was a huge sandwich, but I definitely liked it. The Cheesesteak was a bit messy (in a good way) but was a nice size for a full one; probably should have gotten a half one but oh well. The sliced steak was tender and juicy, while I also enjoyed the flavors of the cherry peppers and garlic mayo. Would definitely order this again. This was an experience I'm glad I finally had the opportunity to check out. Will go back hopefully soon to try some other items.
