    How have I never left a review??? This is my go to in Napa. The pups love their michelin dining…read moretoo! We generally opt for the patio since we take the pups everywhere. The patio is not crazy hot in the summer as it is shaded. I've tried both the tasting and the prix fixe with add-ons ofc. There is nothing I don't like, but I do have a few favs, such as the pig ears and the caviar pretzel. I can't remember too much, I am typically buzzed by the time I arrive and drink more along the way... We ended up having our reception at Press in one of the more enclosed patio areas, and it was so lovely to be able to share the lovely food and drinks with my favorite people and all our dogs! The staff was super attentive and made me an extra special menu to take home in addition to all the customized menus. Shout out to Frankie for hosting us so perfectly. Everyone had an awesome time and could not stop raving about the food and the service. FYI the patio can be closed in the winter. I can't wait to be back in Napa and Press!

    While the restaurant setting was beautiful and the service was fine, my husband and I found the…read morefood underwhelming for a Michelin-starred restaurant. We opted for the four-course prix fixe menu, and many of the dishes felt more focused on technique than flavor. Throughout the meal, several flavor combinations didn't work and many dishes leaned either salty, one-note, or bland. APPETIZERS Chips and dip: This consisted of salmon skin paired with what seems to be their attempt at elevated guacamole. The salmon skin could have benefited from some seasoning, while the guacamole was too citrus-forward that it overwhelmed the avocado. We were also served an asparagus welcome drink that tasted like asparagus water with light cream which did not taste good. Sumac-cured halibut: The very tart vinaigrette overpowered everything in this dish. American wagyu tartare: Overall okay. Lacked a kick that would have made it memorable. Lobster chawanmushi: Chawanmushi was silky and the lobster was perfectly cooked. I really enjoyed the green curry foam, although it leaned salty. The pickles were also quite sour. Caramelle with truffles: Delicate corn flavor, but the dish felt bland overall and the truffle was barely noticeable. ENTREES Black truffle-glazed chicken: Impressive technique with sausage stuffed beneath the skin and tender chicken. Unfortunately, the sausage was overly salty and tart, which overpowered the chicken and any truffle flavor. This was supposed to be some kind of award-winning dish, but it didn't live up to its reputation. King salmon: The biggest disappointment of the meal. We were told king salmon is fattier than a salmon like sockeye, but the cuts were lean. We were also told it would be served mostly raw with a sear. It came to us with very little sear and no seasoning we could appreciate. It also came with a cucumber-based sauce which added little flavor. Overall, this was a bland and uninspired dish. It might as well have been served like sashimi for a more enjoyable experience. DESSERTS Smoked yogurt panna cotta: Refreshing but lacked any noticeable smokiness. Vanilla and champagne parfait: Overpowered by the alcohol. At the end of the meal, they gave us calamansi jelly and bonbons. The jelly was so sour it was nearly mouth-puckering. The bonbon was fine. To the restaurant's credit, the pacing of dish service was good and courses arrived in a timely manner without a huge gap in between them. Michelin-starred restaurants can be a hit or miss and, unfortunately, PRESS falls into the latter category for us.

    Came here with my husband and son. Restaurant isn't super big with a handful of tables and booths…read more Came here because we heard how affordable their smash burgers are. Hard to find a good burger joint that has fries included in the price. And if you don't want fries you can have fries, tater tots, sweet potato fries, or onion rings. Usually if you wanna swap out your fries it's an extra fee. My double smash burger with tots was 9 dollars. My husband got the pastrami burger and my son got the chicken tenders and fries. My husband enjoyed his burger and it was a good size. And the chicken tenders had to be the biggest ones I've seen! Halfway through our meal, I was craving something sweet so I got a Oreo milkshake. Milkshake was great nice and creamy with good pieces of Oreo chunks. Service was great and waitress check in on us a few times. If this restaurant was closer to where we live we could be coming here a lot. But next time we're in the area we're definitely stopping by. Overall 4.5/5

Food was quick and tasted fresh. Better quality than fast food for a better price! We have also gotten take out a couple times, but this is a place where it's best to eat in, rather then take out.

    Last minute Thursday night family dinner. We arrive a few minutes after 6:00pm and we seated…read moreimmediately for a group of 6. Place was half way full. Nicely decorated with the wall of bowls, shelf of lit up spirits and open kitchen. It's been over a year since I've dined here. Always Adam of Chef Tony's restaurants. We had back near the kitchen. Drink orders we taken right away, appetizers ordered once drinks were delivered. We needed extra time to decide on entrees because one of us were undecided. Everyone enjoyed their meals: Crispy Taro Rolls, Little Baskets, English Cucumber + Avocado Salad, Khao Piak Special, Duck Confit Noodle Soup, Spicy Curry Noodle Soup, Pork Belly Rice Bowl, Drunken Noodles, Pad Thai. We had a few different servers and service could have been better. We had to ask for more drinks and utensils. I didn't like that 20% gratuity was added to the bill, especially when service wasn't stellar. Food is still excellent.

The service is quick and attentive, without feeling rushed. The menu offers a wide variety of Southeast Asian dishes that are authentic, fresh, and booming with flavor. My favorite dish is the coconut chicken noodle soup because the broth is rich and creamy with a depth of coconut. I love that you can mix and match different noodle options with your choice of soup base. The Thai tea I ordered was another standout, not watered down or overly sweet. Just the right balance. Overall, it's a spot I return to when I want quality, consistency, and flavor all in one setting.

    So once a year for two weeks,Russian River Brewing becomes the beer mecca on the planet-for two…read moreweeks they release their triple IPA Pliny The Younger. People come from from all over the planet to fly in for a chance to be able to taste this amazing brew each year and this year,I decided to join them and go out to try and get my hands on Pliny The Younger. The release this year was from March 20th 2026 to April 2nd 2026. So 1st thing we had to do was decide which location we wanted to go to-They have a downtown Santa Rosa location and a much bigger location located in Windsor. I decided to go to Windsor because I was told the parking lot was much bigger and the dining area has a larger capacity-not sure if that's true but was good enough for me. We left Sacramento a bit after 6am and we arrived in Windsor around 830am. When we arrived,there was already a line of probably around 75-100 people. So we just grabbed our spot in line and we waited until they opened up the dining area at 11am-Hoping to get seated in the first wave. We were told before we went out there that if we were lucky the wait would be from 2-3 hours and if we were unlucky it could be up to 6 hours. Well I can really explain it but the somehow the time flew by-not sure if it was the people we were in line with,who were all in the best of moods or if it was just the anticipation of doing something really fun. They were true pros the way they had the line setup-totally organized and they even have heat-lamps out there to keep everyone warm,while we waited. Well today was our lucky day because my buddy and I got seated in the first wave. The dining area was really big with so many table options,multiple rooms for seating available and they even had a bar area and an area where you could sit around a fireplace-like area. The wait staff was really awesome at this restaurant-each person working was even nicer than the next. How it works during Younger release event is like this. -They give you a wristband with 3 numbered pull tabs on it that allows each customer to get 3 pours and then at the end of their meal we are allowed to buy 3 bottles of the highly coveted release Pliny The Younger. The price point for these beers were $6.75 for each pour and around $13.00 for each take home bottle. While I was there I also had a taste of Blind Pig and Tempo Change-those were like $1.25 each for a tasting of those two beers. One thing I didn't quite have a scope of before going to this event in person was the high quality of food offered at Russian River Brewing. I made a double mistake of eating while I was in line and also making plans to eat at another place after this event. So I missed out on really diving into their pretty impressive offerings of food.I will for sure be doing that on my next visit-they had darn near everything you would expect a brewery to offer and it all looked so delicious. Well let's talk about why I was here-Pliny The Younger. I am 100% an IPA fan-it's always my beer of choice-So Pliny the Younger being a Triple IPA-I knew I was going to enjoy it.This beer historically is rated near 100 every year and this years release didn't disappoint.It was the smoothest triple I've ever had the pleasure of drinking and I've had more than a few in my day. This was the best Triple IPA I've ever had. Final thought-Was the experience worth it and would I do it again? Yes & Yes-my only regret is that I didn't do this many years ago when I first heard about it.I do plan on making this an annual pilgrimage.

    This is the local brewery and restaurant near my dad's house and is always a go to spot for friends…read moreand family in town. They have the best selection of beers on tap, from local to Belgian styles, there's something for everyone. The service is fast and friendly with a lot of personality in each server. The food is usually great with typical American style choices, like burgers, wraps, fries, and great appetizers. This time I got the pulled pork sandwich with some barbecue sauce and my brothers got the kale salad with bacon. Both were very good. So many great beers, but if I had to choose one, it would be mind circus, hazy IPA. They have a normal dining area with table tops or booth seating, as well as a dog-friendly dining area near the bar that's also indoors. Outside, they allow drinks, but no food. Also a great place to bring your dog if you have one. Don't forget to check out the merch store before you leave for some clothes and beer for the road.
