My issue is not that he enforced a rule; it is the complete inconsistency in how that rule is applied. He was also rude, condescending, and treated me as though I were stupid while I tried to explain that this had never been an issue there before. Had I known the policy would suddenly be enforced differently, I would have come prepared. Honestly, it sounds like I did not miss much. According to friends who were already inside, the atmosphere that night was not great anyway. Treating a returning customer this way, especially on such an important night, was the final straw. My 35 guests and I left and took our business elsewhere, where the service was excellent and we ended up having a lovely night. I will not be returning to Sussie's and would not recommend it.

My friend and I had a wonderful dinner here!…read more We started with drinks: both amazing. Then we ordered a bunch of food to share and they brought everything out slowly so we could eat it after it was freshly made. We got the oysters, slider, poke bowl, short rib, and fresh mozzarella bruschetta (I think the last one was a special). All so good! The ambiance was really nice with comfortable seating, fun lighting, and great music. I'd def recommend this place and go back myself!

At a recent Yelp Elite event (shout out to the Elites out there), a fellow Elite shared her…read moreexperience in Calistoga and mentioned visiting an establishment called Robert's Tropical Table. With excitement in her eyes, she described the delicious tropical-inspired cocktails with good vibes to match. Since I had an upcoming birthday, I bookmarked the restaurant so that we would remember to visit it during our stay in Calistoga. After arriving in Calistoga on a Friday evening, my wife and I thought that it would be appropriate to have dinner and drinks at Robert's. Upon walking through the entrance of the restaurant, we observed a nice backyard-style layout with televisions tuned to the NBA playoffs, patrons enjoying glasses of wine, and a DJ playing smooth yacht rock tunes. A friendly employee informed us that it was open seating, so we sat ourselves along the padded seating in close proximity to the DJ. Shortly afterwards, a server came by to take our orders. My wife ordered the short rib, garlic fries, and the Sip It Slowly cocktail; I ordered the Jamaican Jerk Chicken, Dumplings (suggested by the server), and the Jerk Old Fashioned. While we awaited our orders, the server brought us a delicious miniature size soup - which was absolutely delicious and definitely a tease! Shortly after, our drinks arrived. I found my drink to be delicious, strong, and was intrigued by the flavor that the little piece of submerged jerky provided. However, I will admit that I was a bit jealous when I snuck a couple sips of my wife's delicious cocktail. Up until the arrival of our meals, I was impressed. My wife found the short ribs to be just ok; additionally, her fries were lukewarm upon arrival and dry (as if they were overcooked). I have had Jamaican jerk chicken in Jamaica, so my expectations were very high. Unfortunately, the chicken was not flavorful and did not have the "kick (spice)" that I anticipated. Surprisingly, the highlight here was the dumplings (delicious!) and the Hint of Passion cocktail that I ordered (if I had a signature drink- this would be it!). I really should have listened to my intuition when we initially observed that a majority of the other patrons were just indulging in drinks, no food. When our server brought us the bill totaling roughly $160, I couldn't help but feel like the food was not in alignment with the price point. I wanted so badly to like this establishment, but honestly could not see myself returning for anything other than one of their cocktails.

This is hands down my…read morefavorite place in Calistoga, and I tell everyone who visits Napa Valley that this is a must-see destination. Don't just stop by for a meal--plan to spend a few hours exploring because every historic train car has its own unique experience. The amount of creativity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail is incredible. Every space feels thoughtfully designed, and you can tell every decoration and element was placed with intention. I notice something new every time I visit. I honestly can't pick a favorite train car. Casa Obsidiana serves authentic Oaxacan cuisine in one of the most beautifully designed spaces. The Parlor Car is elegant and perfect for champagne, caviar, and fresh oysters. If you're visiting with kids (or just have a sweet tooth), Earth & Sky Chocolates is a must--everything is absolutely delicious. Then there's the First Millionaires' Saloon, which is one of the coolest bars you'll ever walk into. The décor alone is worth the visit, and the distillery adds another unique experience to explore. Every train car has its own personality, making the entire property feel like an adventure rather than just a place to eat. The food is fantastic across the board. My son is obsessed with the wood-fired pizzas, and we've never had a meal we didn't enjoy. Whether you're stopping in for dinner, drinks, dessert, or simply wandering through the train cars, there's something for everyone. What truly makes this place even more special is the people. Every single employee we've encountered has been genuinely warm, welcoming, and kind. Michael always goes out of his way to say hello and make us feel at home, and Pedro is just as friendly and accommodating. You can tell the staff genuinely care about creating a memorable experience, and that hospitality is a huge reason we keep coming back. To make it even better, they have live music every weekend, creating such a fun atmosphere that you'll want to stay for hours. I've visited many places throughout Napa Valley, and nothing compares to the Calistoga Depot. It's historic, beautiful, unique, family-friendly, romantic, and unlike anywhere else. Whether you're looking for amazing food, handcrafted cocktails, authentic Oaxacan cuisine, incredible desserts, live music, or simply a one-of-a-kind experience, you'll find it here. This isn't just one of my favorite restaurants--it's one of my favorite places, period. If you're in Calistoga, don't even question it. Put the Calistoga Depot at the top of your list. I promise you'll leave already planning your next visit.

I really wanted to love Calistoga Depot, especially because we were there celebrating a friend's…read more40th birthday, but unfortunately our experience was extremely disappointing. When we arrived, no one greeted us or directed us where to go. We stood at the bar for quite a while with employees nearby before eventually making our way around to the other side. When someone finally took our order, the employee seemed annoyed and reluctant to help. We took our number and sat ourselves, as the signs instructed. Shortly after we were settled, a server came over and told us we would enjoy our experience more if we sat closer to the music. She took my friend's purse and my water and moved us to another table. From there, things continued to go downhill. Two of our four drinks came out incorrect, the avocado toast was completely inedible, and our pizza arrived cold. We repeatedly had to ask for napkins and plates, and we never received silverware. At that point, we asked to speak with a manager. She said she would make it right, but unfortunately, it felt like she simply wasn't equipped to do much to actually resolve the situation. She removed one drink and the avocado toast from our bill. While we appreciated the gesture, considering the overall experience, it didn't feel like enough to make things right. The manager did offer for us to come back and give Calistoga Depot another try, but unfortunately that isn't really an option for us. We were tourists visiting the area and don't live here, so we won't be back. We were celebrating a special 40th birthday and were really hoping for a fun, memorable dinner. Instead, the lack of service, incorrect drinks, cold food, missing utensils, and overall disorganization left us pretty bummed. We understand that restaurants can have an off night, but this felt like much more than just an off night. It was especially disappointing because this was supposed to be a special celebration.

Okay, so let's talk about one of my favorite little discoveries in Calistoga -- La Palmiere, the…read morecutest Airstream food truck tucked away on the property of Indian Springs Resort. I actually first found out about it because of my obsession (and I mean obsession) with the banana bread at Sam's Social Club. If you know, you know -- it's ridiculously good. We're talking the kind of banana bread that ruins all other banana breads for you. It comes with this cloud of whipped mascarpone cheese on the side -- not butter, not cream cheese, mascarpone -- and it's just... bomb-diggity! I've literally daydreamed about it. But here's the problem: they sell out. Fast. Like, blink-and-it's-gone fast. So one of the last times I was in Calistoga, I was told that if Sam's Social Club runs out, you can actually grab it from La Palmiere, their little Airstream café on the same property. You better believe I made a beeline there -- and yes, they had it. Crisis averted. Banana bread secured. Happiness restored. Their menu is pretty limited (which I don't mind -- they stick to what they're really good at), and their hours are short, so definitely check before you go. But I've also tried their egg sandwich, and oh my gosh -- they use Model Bakery English muffins, which are basically the gold standard of English muffins. The second I saw that, it was an instant yes. Their avocado toast is another win -- super fresh and piled high. Like, they definitely don't skimp. I'm pretty sure it's at least one whole avocado per toast situation, and I am not mad about it. Oh, and even their coffee is solid. Simple, smooth, and hits the spot while you're sitting outside soaking up that relaxed Calistoga vibe. So if you're staying at Indian Springs -- or even just in the area -- do yourself a favor and swing by La Palmiere. Especially if Sam's Social Club is sold out of that heavenly banana bread. You can thank me later.

While perusing the local businesses, we discovered Lincoln Avenue Brewery tucked in a small alley. A bartender by the name of Liza warmly greeted us as we took a seat at the bar. Since we were not terribly hungry at the moment, we ordered the Pork Belly from the appetizer menu. While enjoying the delicious Pork Belly bites, we placed an order for their non-beer options (neither one of us are beer lovers). We ordered the Dust Bowl Brewery Strawberry Margarita seltzer, which is ironically a brewery that is located in close proximity to our home. As we were winding down, we ordered a round of ciders and the three meats-three sides platter for dinner. Our dinner reheated well in our room (we decided to order it as takeout to avoid eating such a messy meal in public) and was quite tasty - even though the macaroni and cheese could have used some seasoning. If you're looking for exceptional customer service, a healthy variety of brews, and delicious food - I recommend visiting Lincoln Avenue Brewery!
