About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Charming

Napa Valley Bistro was opened in 2013 by chefs Bernardo Ayala and Ernesto Martinez, (also co-owner of Market in St. Helena). Their friendship and working relationship, which has lasted over 20 years was so successful, they decided to pool their resources and stake a claim in downtown Napa's expanding culinary scene. Their aim was to create their own version of classic world cuisine in a comfortable space where family and community could gather for any occasion. The twist is evident in the menus, which sample fare from around the globe. Guests can choose from traditionally prepared Mexican Empanadas or timeless American favorites like the Lamb Burger and St. Louis Ribs. Other options include Vegetarian Spring Rolls, Chinese Chicken Salad and Seasonal Risotto. Our Wine & Beer List includes local wines leaning toward small producers & craft brews.

Fries were so so. Cocktail was great. Erika is an awesome server. Noise level was low and not a bad thing. Easy to hold a conversation.

It was an Easter Brunch!. Eggs Benedict in many styles dominated the menu. That was okay; but not the best variety. Server was outstanding, charming, and efficient. Very pleasant Easter morning!

Thank you for the kind words Brooke!

The food was subpar, I wouldn’t go back. The risotto was watery and the vegetable salad seemed like it came out of a mix bag with not much on it. There are better places in the area.
Napa Valley BistroResponded on April 26, 2025
Thank you for the feedback Shannon, and we do apologize your experience was not as expected. Everything on the menu is fresh and made inhouse. We do hope you reconsider and join us again sometime in the future.
