About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Good for business meals

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.

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!

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.

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.

I had a fantastic dinner at this restaurant! The lamb ravioli was absolutely delicious and to die for, with rich, bold flavors that made every bite enjoyable. The seafood fettuccine was also incredibly good—fresh, flavorful, and well-balanced. Every dish was packed with taste, making the meal truly satisfying. Surprisingly, the restaurant was quite empty, so the atmosphere was peaceful and quiet—perfect for a relaxing dinner. While they don’t serve liquor, their wine selection was reasonably priced, and we opted for soju shots instead, which was a fun alternative. Overall, the food was outstanding, and the experience was great. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for quality flavors in a calm setting!

Thank you so much for the kind words Jennifer! We look forward to seeing you again.
