My partner was skilled at finding delicious restaurants in the area and we checked this place out. 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! read more

I am a frequent flyer when in the area of the KD. I really enjoy their Pho and chicken wings. It's good food with up and down service. Some mishaps have happened with service on prior visits but management and servers are always concerned and make it right. That's why I keep coming back. I Popped in Thursday afternoon for Pho. It was not busy only two other couples eating when we arrived. We sat at our usual table And noted service was a bit slow right off the bat. When I received my Pho, which I thought was a longer wait than usual, it was luke warm if that. The Korean ribs and chicken wings arrived temperature appropriate. I pushed my soup aside but no one checked back until my lunch mate finished. When the waiter came to clear the table I asked for a to go and thought he would ask if there was anything wrong. He did not so I told him the Pho was served luke warm so I did not eat it and that no one had checked back or even passed by us or I would have sent it back to heat it up. We were done now so I'd just take it to go. Our waiter apologized and when he brought the bill said The Pho was comped and apologized again for the breakdown in service. When I dine I like to relax and enjoy a meal With who I came with. So receiving temperature appropriate food is important. The KD does a good job. They have a diverse menu with flavorful food and great cocktails. When there is a hiccup in service or the food there is a genuine concern. Sometimes it's caught by them and others it's brought to their attention. It's how things are dealt with when those mishaps happen. The KD addresses your concerns with sincerity and want their diner to have an all around great experience. If you have not been give KD a try when in downtown Napa. read more

Kitchen Door has been on the locals recommendation list several times this week as I've asked around, so finally gave it a try for lunch today. Deviled eggs anywhere are always a must try for me- but these ones had a savoryness to them that would bring me back for those alone. As my main dish I went with the pad Thai- as a stand alone dish, it's quite good. However, after adding the sriracha and oil, it's damn good. The tofu absorbed a great amount of favor and spice (cumin?) and had a nice crispness to it- I'd order a dish of the tofu alone for a starter with that flavor. I can see myself heading back in the future to try some additional menu items. read more

1. Food was good. 2. Unprofessional hostess. How you are going to tell your customers that you're going to seat them but they only have an hour to eat.. First of all, that is out of our control, this depends entirely on your kitchen staff and how backed up they can get if people do not order promptly. Will never return because the options are plenty.... Returning is always based on the entire experience from start to finish. read more

We dropped in on a Friday night hoping to get a seat at the bar and were lucky two seats opening up after a few minutes wait. Bartenders always on point and engaged, fun drink menu lost, and excellent people watching. Started with our standard, the deviled eggs. Then we branched off the norm and had the Phad Thai and RAMEN with chicken as an extra protein. Went great with the Albariño we ordered. Finished with home made(some sort of nut) with carmel drizzle and jet was a wrap. See there is 20.00 corkage which is great and free if you buy a bottle so worth considering . Would have been a 5 and never will be a 5 unless you bring the noodle salad back on the menu read more

This is a great spot for drinks and food. It is inside the outdoor mall and has a modern vibe. We order the salmon eggs Benedict and the Asian short ribs. The short ribs with fried rice were excellent. The eggs Benedict was cooked perfectly but it was cold because it was sitting. Others ordered the mushroom pizza and it was great. My kids had the burger and fries and it was tasty! read more

Made reservations online and was seated quickly, service was quick and we were able to get pho, ramen, sausage pizza and Barrett's bowl. The ramen was delicious and super flavorful. Only things we didn't like was the pho which had no flavor at all. It tasted like they forgot to put seasoning. Also they don't do anything for birthdays, so don't expect a dessert or anyone to sing happy birthday. read more

What a nice place to grab bite and drink. As soon as we walked in we were greeted. We sat outside in the perfect late afternoon weather. Ordering from the "Happy Hour" menu which had plenty to choose from. The pizza was nice and thin crust, good sauce and nice flavorful cheeses on top we also ordered teriyaki wings and the sauce was delicious. The margaritas were well balanced as well. For dessert it was the peach crisp it was so good I could have had another one. We left very content. Ivan our waiter was genuinely kind, personable and great service as well as the busboy. Everyone working there was upbeat and hard at work. I liked the restaurant because they have an eclectic menu, something forever one. Location is addressed on 1st Street but it's tucked behind 1st Street, GPS gives a round about direction. read more

Weekend in Napa and staying at the Archer - this place was literally below our room. So besides convenient, the food was terrific! Our server was spot on - friendly, engaging and efficient. I never order steak and eggs but for some reason it sounded fantastic and did not disappoint. If you are in downtown Napa I highly recommend! read more

We stopped in for dinner on a rainy Friday night based on a recommendation. We were sat quickly and the waiter, Ivan, was great. We got a cocktail and a beer. The place is very nice. Clean and very cozy. My wife is a vegitarian and we came for the Tofu Pad Thai. But upon ordering learned that their only 'non-pizza' vegetarian option was not actually vegetarian. They shared with us that we couldn't order the Tofu Pad Thai without fish sauce. Many places can make it without the fish sauce, so we were surprised and disappointed to not get the main dish we came for. Instead we got the plain pizza and I got teriyaki chicken wings. The wings were tasty, but very small wings are used. So it was not as satisfying as I hoped. The pizza was ok too. If you are vegetarian, consider looking elsewhere. Otherwise the other food being served to other customers looked good. The three stars are only to reflect the disappointment to find out that what we came for wasn't available as a vegetarian dish. read more

Big open space, efficient friendly service and a solid brunch spot. It was also right next to a parking garage with free parking so, bonus points for convenience. I was shocked my family of 13 was able to get in a rezzo only 48 hours before! The pancakes were so fluffy and where else can you get breakfast Pho, my nephew loved that. The chilaquiles and breakfast pizza was good but not mind blowing. Don't get the duck carnitas, not totally worth the additional $7. Others were fans of the breakfast burger tho! read more

Last lunch for a ladies weekend... a lot of our meals beforehand had similar taste profiles, so I picked this spot since it's a Asian fusion spot and different from the other restaurants earlier in the weekend... Pros - good flavors on each dish we ordered. Service was also very nice and quite accommodating. I didn't know they put bean sprouts in their fried rice, I'm allergic to them, and they took the plate away and made me new rice... I kept the original ribs. I also ordered a potato rossi reminded me of a McDonald's hash brown, but elevated... that was really good! I'd seriously come back to order that....They were also accommodating to a gluten sensitivity and a friend's keto diet too. The spot is next to a nice covered parking lot, so that was great! Cons- can't really think of any. It was a very good meal! read more

I wasn't as hungry as I had hoped to be for Brunch, so I ordered a Starter and a side of bacon. See picture, but the pic doesn't do it justice when it comes to the size of the eggs. They were fluffy, big and tall. But most importantly... so very tasty with pickled onions hidden from sight. read more

This is a great spot for brunch! We were glad they were able to fit us in on a Sunday morning. All the Yelpers were talking about the Teriyaki wings, so we had to start with those- and what a hit. They had the trifecta for perfect wings: great sauce, good texture, good crunch! I also ordered the Korean-style short ribs, which came with a meaty bacon fried rice that was just what I needed. There are also tasty brunch drinks too! read more

Great and friendly staff! A pretty huge restaurant and seems to be a busy place! We went on a rainy day so it wasn't too busy! Food was good, I have the pho ga (chicken pho) flavor wasn't what I am typically used to, but they did cook the chicken breast perfectly! It was dry or rubbery! My husband had the chilaquiles and he ate it all without offering me a bite ... haha read more

We came here with reservations on a Friday night and it was pretty packed and flowing with conversations. You can tell a lot of locals come here. It is an open space concept, which I like because there was plenty of space to move around if we needed to get up. Our server was really attentive and made sure we had a good experience. As far as the food, everything tasted good, but not exceptional, although I didn't know what to order. I ended up getting the arugula salad and the salmon tartar and my husband got the sausage pizza. We also got the chips and dip, which came with a French onion dip. We also got a bottle of wine to go with our dinner. We asked for more chips and they charged us $6, which I thought was silly, but oh well. We ended up not finishing the chips. Everything was again, good, but not amazing. I gave the extra star for good service. read more

Stopped by for a quick bite during our wine tasting day. The service was adequate. I have to say, the steak was beautifully seasoned and truly amazing, which speaks to the kitchen's potential. However, a significant issue was the temperature of the sauce; it was completely cold, suggesting a delay between plating and serving. Hope they can address this timing issue! read more

While we only met friends for drinks and appetizers, we were really impressed by this place, everything we had ("chips and dip", chicken wings, deviled eggs) was delicious. The cocktails were also well made. I went with an old fashioned, (something I usually try my first time at a place to see how I like their cocktails) and couldn't have been happier with it. The service was good, and the atmosphere cozy. We'll definitely come back, and next time get a full meal... read more

Only positive thing I can say about this place is the ambiance and cleanliness. Also, I feel like the bar was more the center piece and what this place was all about. I wouldn't recommend this place. They had a table for four open and they didn't give it to us. They had us wait over thirty minutes. The empty table remained empty from the time we arrived, duration of our wait, our dinner, and when we left. Considering the others that came after us were sat prior, I wouldn't want to assume it's cause we were the only Asian party that night, but it's how it felt like. The food totally missed the mark. We got the PHO and it had regular noodles. It had no flavor and we had to add the cilantro and sriracha to give it a tiny hint of taste. The Pad Thai failed to impress as well. I understand fusion but the taste was disappointing. Light flavor and strange seasoning but even adding lime was unable to bring out the Pad Thai at all. The ribs barely had flavor but the rice that i came with was the best thing out of all the food we got. It had something crunchy that made it interesting and made it "fusion". In my opinion this was the worst part of my trip here in Napa this time. Carabao was closed and this was the next Asian place that was open on our google search. We already had Chetuphon Thai, which was amazing, and we wanted to have a new experience elsewhere. For Thai Food, Chetuphon still is the place to go to. Service was ok apart from the seating issue stated above. Server and staff bumped my chair multiple times without even an acknowledgement. I'm just really disappointed with the place and nitpicking now, maybe. But for my overall experience on food and service, I cannot say I'd come back, nor can I recommend this place to anyone at all. Sullied our Napa experience just a smidge. read more

Got Pho to go. There was hardly any chicken. I was surprised the broth didn't have that salty hit one expects when having broth. I guess my blood pressure appreciated that. There plus was that there were plenty of noodles. read more

Let's start with the good: **Kitchen Door** has a lovely, open atmosphere that strikes a perfect balance between casual and upscale. It's the kind of place you want to linger--bright, airy, and ideal for a relaxed meal with friends or family. The menu? **Extensive**, at first glance. There's a little bit of everything--wood-fired pizzas, noodles, salads, global-inspired dishes--it feels like they're trying to make sure no one walks away hungry. **But here's the thing**: if you're vegetarian (or dining with one), your options shrink *fast*. For a menu with so many choices, the veggie-friendly selections are surprisingly limited. And even among those, nothing really stood out. As for the food overall... it was just okay. Not bad, not memorable. My dish (insert specific dish here if you want), looked great but lacked that depth or flavor pop that makes you want to come back. It felt like they were going for wide appeal, and in doing so, lost some personality. Service was friendly, and again--the space itself is lovely. But if you're looking for bold flavors or creative veg-forward options, this door might not open the right way. read more

Kitchen Door is a Vietnamese fusion restaurant, and while I'm not really a fan of fusion cuisines, this place is quite solid. Walking in during a prime weekend lunch hour was doable since there were no wait times. Customer service was excellent, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. Here is the food we ordered: Cheeseburger: Although this item seems out of place on the menu, it was incredibly delicious. The melted Swiss cheese on top of the wine-stewed onions was excellent, and the fries were crispy. The waiter knew we were dining family-style and initiated cutting the burger into three portions. Mushroom Pizza: Another standout on their menu, with plenty of mushrooms and loads of flavor. Pad Thai: This dish seemed to be the least promising of the three, but it was definitely a hit. It didn't look appetizing at first, as it didn't appear authentic at all, but that's the beauty of this Asian fusion dish. It was very tangy and dry, yet amazing--probably my favorite. read more

Celebrated my and my husband's birthday here since we booked a stay at the Archer Hotel next door. We had been gallivanting throughout Napa and Santa Rosa that day, and we just wanted to eat somewhere that had variety and tbh, was close to the hotel. I've been here once before, but it was my husband's first time. We had a great experience! Because we came on a weekday, it wasn't busy at all. I made a reservation because I wanted to put in a special request for our dessert plate to say happy birthday on it. Everything went about flawlessly! We arrived at our reserved time, was seated right away, and got right to putting our orders in. For food, we ordered wings, a burger and fries, and a Vietnamese style salad to share. Everything was pretty tasty! Everything came out in a timely manner, and we ordered just the right amount of food in my opinion. For dessert, we ordered their brownie a la mode, and it arrive with a "Happy birthday" written on the plate and a candle included. Such a sweet way to end the meal! The restaurant is clean, with the lighting giving off moody vibes. There are few TVs situated on the walls which were televising current sports games, and your eyes are immediately drawn to the middle of the restaurant where the bar is located. Our server was amazing. Highly attentive, checked in on us throughout our meal, and so, so pleasant. The host even stopped by our table to greet my husband and have a little chat with us after he saw we were done with our dinner. Such a lovely experience, and I'm excited to come back soon! read more

I want to give a 4.5 Ambiance 5/5 Cool restaurant tucked in the back but it's right next to a parking garage so parking should not be a problem. Clean presentation. They had a TV where we were able to watch an NBA game so that was cool. Service 5/5 Reservations had all tables being used when we walked in, but fortunately there were seats available at the bar hence we were able to see the TV. Bartender was attentive and checked on us several times and engaged in conversation with us. I apologize for not getting your name. Food 4.5/5 Only reason for 4.5 is wish the portions were a little bigger. Oxtail Pasta This was really good. Pasta was al dente and had sprinkles of truffle mixed in. The sauce was not overwhelming. The amount of oxtail was lacking because it only had about 2 pieces (see pic). The oxtail was tender and had good flavor. Curry Shrimp Soup 4/5 Broth was good but can be a little overwhelming because of the richness. Noodles were cooked good. Shrimp was cooked good and was served on a skewer. Alcoholic beverage: I had their Pimm's #1 drink which is made with Pimm's gin, lime juice, ginger beer and maybe simple syrup (I forgot, lol!) and was also served with a thinly sliced cucumber. I enjoyed the drink. Dessert 5/5: Salted caramel was delicious. They make their ice cream in house. The ice cream was not too sweet and you can taste a little salt that they either sprinkled on top or mixed into their house ice cream. We would definitely come back and maybe dry one of their wood oven pizzas because they looked good when they came out. read more

Place is spacious and has seating at the bar too. It's kid-friendly with a kid menu. My favorite was the duck banh mi with the duck jus. Seriously you have to get it with the duck jus! Total game changer! We also had the steak and frites. The sauce and butter were excellent additions. They also have spicy mayo for the fries which we thoroughly enjoyed. The pad Thai was not that great. It was pretty bland. I ended up dipping it in the leftover duck jus. I'm telling you that duck jus is amazing! My daughter had kids pasta with butter and cheese. She nearly ate all of it! I was disappointed by the lack of attention to the restrooms. The one on the left had a toilet that wouldn't flush properly and the trash was overflowing onto the floor. I was also disappointed that the person who was standing and hanging out at the front and greeted us at the front wasn't even the hostess. I said, "hi we have a reservation."She responded with "oh let me get the hostess." I looked to the left and the hostess was casually socializing. Our sever definitely made up for it! She was excellent and the one who suggested the duck jus! She was very attentive as well. read more

Global kitchen in downtown Napa. Came here for dinner with a group of seven and we made reservations in advance. There was street parking available outside the restaurant. Ordered the deviled eggs to share for the table and I had the Vietnamese Bun Chay Noodle salad with tofu. It was deceptively filling and I had leftovers, which still kept well the following day. The house kombucha was quite strong with a florally acidic taste. We had a center table that was spacious and it was a restaurant more geared towards relaxing/having a nice conversation. They do allow split bills. read more

Best salmon I've ever had. I am puzzled how they got it so beautifully crispy on the outside and so tender on the insude. It was also beautifully seasoned. It came with a yogurt dill caper sauce that was a great accompaniment. Tater tots too! Yum! Not too much food, but you leave feeling totally content (eg not gross and in need of a workout). Espresso and ice cream for dessert was a great call also! The waitstaff were all great! read more

If you're in the area, don't miss Kitchen Door--this place is a true hidden gem! The coffee alone is worth the stop--perfectly brewed and full of flavor and not overly roasted! The food? Absolutely fantastic. You can tell they use high-quality, fresh ingredients, and the presentation is beautiful without being fussy. We ordered the burrata, chilaquiles with duck, and the cured salmon benedict --and every single bite was delicious. Flavors were vibrant, portions just right, and service was warm and attentive. The space is casual yet polished, perfect for a relaxing brunch or a chill lunch in downtown Napa. Already planning my next visit! read more

Took my mom here for her birthday on a Saturday afternoon. I made reservations online which was super easy, I had to modify the number of people last minute & was able to do so online - super convenient! When we arrived, we were seated right away and given a booth. Our waiter was friendly & patient with our questions. My mom had some questions about some dishes and if we can substitute the meat for tofu. He checked with the kitchen staff & confirmed that yes, they can make it happen. They do have a system to call out those special dishes on the menu - gf = gluten free, v = vegetarian, vg = vegan. I ordered a latte (I tried to order a vanilla latte but they don't do do flavors, oops) --- the latte was a bit burnt but I drank it since I needed the caffeine for our day ahead (we had a whole itinerary planned). My mom ordered a black coffee. Their menu is a fusion of sorts - ranging from breakfast items to pizzas to Korean style ribs. So I'm sure you'll find something that tickles your pickle. It was brunch time so I ordered Eggs Benedict without the meat with a side salad. It was good, not too bad. I usually have my eggs over hard (yes, even with a benedict) so the eggs were too runny for me. It wasn't their fault - they aren't mind readers. My mom ordered the Napa Local Breakfast Plate with Tofu instead of meat. She said it was okay. I did like how the tofu was cooked - it was the consistency of fried tofu. They started to get busy as we ate but the staff didn't hurry us out so my mom & I could catch up a bit. That was nice. All in all, brunch was good. I think there are other places I'd go to for brunch next time but I'll definitely be back for lunch/dinner since their menu options look yums for those. read more

Had brunch here today. While the espresso martini was delicious with a hint of cinnamon, a small glass of regular champagne was overpriced. We tried the breakfast pizza and the eggs Benedict. The pizza was somewhat greasy, and the bacon on top was not cooked enough. It was a large portion for one person - definitely shareable. We enjoyed the eggs Benedict and the hollandaise sauce was flavorful. Fresh made English muffin was tasty. The service was good. The restaurant is cute inside with a large bar. Lots of windows.

Melissa made this experience for all of us. My family just came in from a very long trip across the world and we just needed something quick to eat in the hotel suggested this place. We knew that it was not the best that we were coming in so late, but Melissa was so kind and so nice and made us feel welcome did not rush us. This woman deserves a raise or a bonus for her customer service. She was very communicative to the kitchen with food, allergies as well as personal dislike, and was able to request that our salad be made with a different type of green The food was good.

Awesome and more. The food was excellent. I went for the Bahn Mi. it was made with tasty duck which was a huge bonus for me. My colleague went for the burger which he advised was excellent also. Our server was perfect. Knowledgeable, friendly, informative and attentive. The bar manager deserves a special shout out. I had a glass of wine and called back to find out who made it etc. He provided basic information which was helpful. Then he called me back and drilled down and apologized for not remembering some granular detail. That did the trick and was the missing piece I needed. That level of diligence and dedication to top notch service is next level. Tip of the hat. Sadly I forgot his name. I have not been touring wineries. I have been working like a gerbil in a wheel.
