Absolutely decadent, I'm sure filled with butter, but soooo worth it. The short rib was wine-rich and fell apart when you pulled on it, and the risotto was - just believe me, Top 10 bites. The place is reminiscent of other upscale restaurants built into an old Victorian (or such) mansion, elegant and intimate. The service was attentive. We started with the bruschetta, which also had a little magic in it thanks to the microgreens, goat cheese, and thin slices of pickled beets.

The employees are all friendly and have always answered any questions I have about the menu.

They do have breakfast items - like bagels and toast. These are good as well but nothing too special to note. Overall - I will always come back when I am in town to get my favorite strawberry matcha drink!

Located in the heart of Calistoga on the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Cedar Street, Calistoga Inn Restaurant & Brewery is part hotel, part restaurant and part brewery with the latter two being both indoors and outdoors. What brought a friend and I here for a weekend lunchtime meal was the fact that we were enjoying a nice early wine tasting in Calistoga and my friend who has been here before suggested we try out this place for our meal as they have enjoyed their time in the past. And how could they not, as the Calistoga Inn Restaurant has one of the most popular outdoor dining venues in the Napa Valley, thanks in large part to their huge outdoor patio that stretches along the aforementioned Napa River, complete with shady lush foliage, not to mention their well regarded micro-brewery, otherwise known as the Napa Valley Brewing Company that occupies the historic water tower that towers over the entire property. upon entry to their outdoor patio, a fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs welcomes diners. We managed to get lucky when their host, who also serves as one of their many servers, sat my dining mate and I at a table for four people that had plenty of sunshine overhead. The lunch menu at Calistoga Inn Restaurant & Brewery is separated into categories including Starters, Starter Soups and Salads, Sandwiches, Lunch Plates, Pastas, Pizzas, Sides, and their Beverage menu including their award-winning beers, wines, mocktails, and cocktails. Although their pastas sounded so delicious our server David let us know that their Sandwiches were their most popular dish during the lunch hour, and their French Dip Sandwich made with thinly sliced ribeye, caramelized onions, truffle aioli, provolone cheese served on a house made French roll and served with a side of au jus dipping sauce and a side of garlic-cheese fries was one of their favorite sandwiches. I was sold and ordered that for my entrée. My dining mate ordered their Nashville Fried Chicken Sandwich, which was a deep fried breast basted in spicy special sauce, served with butter pickles, mayonnaise, coleslaw and instead of being served on their house made brioche bun, they asked for it to be served on their house-made focaccia, which usually comes with their turkey and brie sandwich along with a side garlic-cheese fries. To go with our meal I opted to drink their Como La Flor mocktail which was made with hibiscus syrup, water and lime juice after my first choice of their Black Swan cocktail was unavailable, while my dining mate ordered their Rombauer Chardonnay 2023 which is sourced from the Carneros region in Napa Valley. It wouldn't take too long for our meal to come out, and the team at the Calistoga Inn Restaurant & Brewery were very accommodating of my dining mate's request to not be served their spicy dipping sauce that already came on their Nashville Fried Chicken sandwich as they came out with a variety of dipping sauce, including mayonnaise to be served with their sandwich and fries. My French Dip Sandwich was one of the tastiest that I have ever enjoyed as it came with plenty of provolone cheese and the au jus dipping sauce which sometimes can taste off-putting tasted just right this time. With our refreshing drinks in hand we had a wonderful time out their on their patio, which would get more crowded as the lunch hour wore on. And why wouldn't it? As the sun's rays would shine down upon us while we ate and drank. Our total bill was 87 dollars before gratuity and taxes were added in, which can be considered high, but for what we received, including extra food to take home for an additional meal, then I consider it well worth it. At Calistoga Inn Restaurant & Brewery the food, service and atmosphere cannot be beat and with all the high-end wineries around the area, this restaurant and brewery is well worth a visit to get you back into the mood to wine taste once again!

Today, my husband and I came to eat dinner at 5:15. To start, we were greeted with scowls, not given menus, and sat at a dirty table for five minutes, until we finally got up and moved seats. We had been enjoying the local hot springs, and I don't think our leisure attire and wet hair were appealing to the well-aged "hostess." I use that word generously. She repeatedly looked me up and down. The staff was transitioning to dinner, which was fine. However, they clearly had no interest in helping us.

This place is so cool and definitely worth a stop when you're in Calistoga…read more We stopped by for a quick lunch and were immediately led into the distillery, which can only be described as impressive. Boasting high ceilings with exposed wood beams and a beautifully decorated bar area, the space oozes with rustic class and would make a great venue for any party or group gathering. We, however, came in for a sit down lunch with two kids and the small lounge seats and tables were not the best setup for a family meal. Which is the only thing keeping me from giving this place five stars. Similarly, the menu was also catered more to adults, with plenty of vegan options but very few items suitable for kids. That's not a knock on this place, just something to take note of. As a result, we opted to snack on a few items and the caviar and duck fat fries did not disappoint. The espresso martini with pumpkin foam was also excellent. But the really cool part about this place is the vintage train cars, each intricately decorated and offering their own dining/drinking experience. For example, one offers an oyster bar with underwater decor while another features a cowboy bar with real saddles as bar seats. The cleverness in design and attention to detail is impressive and is what makes this place special. I doubt there is a more interesting place to have lunch in Calistoga. I'm a fan of what they're doing here and would love to come back. Minus the kids of course.
