We stopped into the Hydro Bar & Grill to have a break from the day. We were greeted immediately and sat outside with our dog. The staff was excellent and provided our dog with water while we waited. The food was literally off the charts - the PIZZA - AMAZING! Salads were a refreshing taste to the 80+ degree weather. The streets were so peaceful, the ambiance was refreshing. Definitely coming back here next time we are in town, highly recommend!

The food was horrible! The decor was all over the place. The interior actually didn't look well kept and clean. The exposed wooden planks overhead had visible buildup. Would never go there again. Our waitress tried but, her attempts wasn't enough to help the overall experience.

Rustic and delicious this local hangout is a fun place to go in the heart of Calistoga. The beef stew is a must we also got the roasted artichoke which was tasty. Other dishes that we tried are the fish sandwich and the French dip both good but average. The ambiance is like stepping back in time which is refreshing in the Napa Valley and the prices are reasonable.

Heed this warning: Do not eat here.In one meal, we experienced food floating in our beverage, a human hair in our sandwich, and a dead insect in the replacement sandwich.If all this wasn’t bad enough, there was a barking dog inside the restaurant, and we were charged $8 more than the prices listed on the menu.In summary:1. Our root beer came to the table in a bottle. With it, they also brought a glass of ice. After pouring the soda into the glass, food particles were floating in the liquid. It was a bottled soda, so this came from a dirty glass. Gross.2. The sandwich we ordered had a human hair imbedded in the filling of the sandwich. Disgusting.3. They remade the sandwich and it and no hair. However, after eating most of it, we found a dead insect inside. Nauseating.I wouldn’t normally care too much about the dog, but it was barking in the dining room (it was not a service animal). Combined with the other stuff, it suggests this restaurant operates without any health or safety oversight.The cherry on top was that our party ordered glasses of Sauvignon Blanc. It was listed on the menu at a $10 per glass. It wasn’t until we’d reviewed our receipt later that we saw we were charged $12 per glass, for a total of an $8 overcharge.And while they did take the sandwich off the bill, it hardly mattered since we were overcharged for the wine.

Very convenient downtown location, lots of easy on street parking...that was what a marvelous french dip sandwich...with a local
Delicious food in a casual, friendly atmosphere. Prices were quite reasonable for wine country too.

One of the best restaurants in Calistoga. I had the reuben and my husband had the sausage plate with sauerkraut and roasted potatoes.......absolutely delicious! Warm friendly waitstaff especially Marisol who really takes care of you!
