    This is my very favorite restaurant! I love to go there. All of the service staff are spectacular and I will continue to come back because of them and Roman and Chef. They treat us with kindness and are always so friendly and wonderful. I have enjoyed getting to know all of them and now their sons Alan and Daniel. Can't wait to join them again!

    My friends and I call ourselves the dining Divas. We get together once a month at a restaurant we haven’t been too or don’t visit often. Today was awesome. The staff was so kind and helpful. I hope we didn’t burn them out. The food was amazing. Can’t wait to go again to try something else on the yummy menu

    First time, and totally recommend here. We were there on a Saturday evening when there was live music as well. Food was delicious, Best gnocchi I have had - they were so light. We had crab cakes, burrata, salad with fillet and fries and a delicious crème brûlée. Connected with the Market next but a more intimate setting I felt.

    We love supporting students. Dinner was exceptional in terms of quality and inventive menu options. Many dishes featured farm to table ingredients of highest quality. My Halibut Crudo was a work of art in presentation and was delicious. Risotto with preserved lemon had a delightfully brisk lemony tartness. Striped bass was great, and French apple tart with Frangipane was rich and luscious. I know their menu changes so options may be different. Truly the best dinner option in Napa valley that also supports the wonderful culinary students. Highly recommended! Our server, Logan was professional and a pleasure.
