45 Best American Restaurants in Napa

“It is expensive as you would expect for an auberge resort in Napa but the food is delicious. I give it a 4/5 because the price was a bit ostentatious--$9 for half an avocado...

But, it was delicious. Tried the shakshuka, it was probably one of the best I've ever had. The cocktails were great. I would recommend for a special outing but not for an everyday meal.

Kid-friendliness: Breakfast was very kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: All one level with no obvious obstacles.“

“Ate there for the first time yesterday and can't wait to go back. We're vegetarian but had no trouble finding incredible offerings. The mushroom/leek risotto was the best I've had. The sweet corn tamale appetizers were surprising and flavorful, and the grilled avocado tostados fabulous! On beautiful grounds with fresh produce growing beside the restaurant. Staff was friendly and efficient. Just a great experience!“

“guick, easy, great brunch“

“Great dog-friendly location in Downtown Napa! We got a perfect mix of shady and sunny in their outdoor seating. I got Lucca the Napa Dog a puppy patty and got him a water bowl too. Everyone was super friendly, and the cheeseburger and sweet potato fries and the oreo shake was super yummy!“

“Just a short jaunt out of the city! Easy access and super quiet. Great staff and food…“

“5 stars for the ambiance & staff members!!! 2 stars for the finger foods, sorry they were cute and looked good but didn’t taste that great. My friends and I had a lovely time on the 4 course tea train for my birthday. It was all of our first times ever riding the wine train and we enjoyed it, however for the price you pay, you really don’t get your moneys worth (soup, salad, finger/cucumber sandwiches, desserts)and we didn’t even stop to get off the train. Also there really isn’t much to look at fields, a couple stores, construction sites, trailer parks, and few wineries). It’s definitely OVERPRICED! I would do it again if it becomes cheaper though. Maybe offer unlimited wine along with the tea, better food, and something for people celebrating their birthdays. I’m so happy my cousin bought along decorations (vines, rose pedals, 36 lights) to make our area extra cute !!!“

“Very good dinner & Chevelle agrees!“

“First time visiting Squeeze Inn. We had lunch. The burger was great. The grilled cheese was great. So good we went back for supper. We can also recommend the vege burger!“

“Chef Bernardo Ayala (& Chef Ernesto Martínez) are superstars de cuisine!! Every dish we ordered was pure perfection. Our favorite was the Chicken Empanadas. The masa was delicate and rich in flavor. And the arugula, persimmon, pomegranate, pear salad was one of the best salads I’ve had. This is a new favorite of ours that we’ll come back to every time we’re in Napa!“

“We spent some time at The Lincoln Napa on a recent trip to Napa. The food is fantastic, we tried the short rib tacos, Flat Iron medallions, Adobo Chicken wings, Popcorn (oh my! It’s addictive) and the hummus and guac plate (great happy hour menu items). It was so good we had to try the smash burger, and the Entree Salmon (the best!). Their drinks are creative and amazing! We were in Napa for 3 days and had so much fun we visited twice. We will be back!! Thanks for helping make out trip special!“

“Seriously the best food I’ve had in Napa. The corned beef hash is absolutely ridiculous! Must try!“

“Had the mushroom noodles. Very tasty and priced well. Staff was very accommodating.“

“The car wash line was out the parking lot! Don’t be fooled though, we parked in the lot across the street and we had no wait time. Walk up to the counter and order your food. Wait time was only a few minutes but my wife’s burger they did get wrong and we had to wait a little more for a refire. Burger was delicious and had a well blend of ingredients. Fries were good but the onion rings were really delicious.“

“We wanted to try everything on the menu! Fast, friendly service. Lots of locals. Inspired cuisine that was as beautiful as it was delicious. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Smash burger and fries Best burger & fries in town The flavor in the meat is amazing“

Highly recommend.“

“We took a three-day trip to Nappa and visited a ton of wineries and restaurants. One of the nights we wanted to go somewhere that wasn't much of a walk and this had good ratings. We did NOT realize that it was located inside Embassy Suites until we got there, and at that point, we figured we'd give it a shot. This was easily the best meal that we had during our entire stay. The Banh Mi was excellent and the burger was very good as well. All this being said, as good as the food was, it came second to the first rate service that we received. Nathan was our server and did an excellent job. He provided meaningful input as to the food, was attentive, charismatic, and provided insight to the local area. We definitely would recommend to anyone/everyone.“

“Tucked away in the Silverado Shopping Center, my wife and I stopped by for a quick breakfast, and we were very pleasantly surprised.

We comfortably split and order of their chilaquiles with the tomatillo salsa and added chorizo. I also got their daily agua fresca which was tamarind today, and it was perfect and refreshing!

To top it off, this is a locally owned place ran by college age local students. We love supporting local, and even if you’re just driving by or visiting, Nosh is 100% worth a stop.“

“Another great meal for Sunday dinner. chicken dinner, Hamburger, and Chicken Burger....oh and sweet potatoes fries. Service is always top notch and food is always Hot.“

“It suits my taste very well, even if it's not very healthy.“

“Everything! Staff is on point, food is amazing and don’t get me started on cocktails. All around one of the best restaurants in the Napa Valley.“

“On a hot sunny day able to sit outside and enjoy a great flight testing of wine while enjoying the world pass by . Amazing daily special beetroot salad . Friendly service“

“Marks the Spot knocked it out of the park once again for us at an event at our home to celebrate the life of my father. Every detail is taken care of, the staff, the food, the service are so exceptional. They will always be our go to for catering. Thank you MTS for the incredible experience.“

“We had a really nice time yesterday afternoon. Greg did our wine tasting and was very knowledgeable. Nice relaxed environment & he took his time explaining each wine ?. The tour was nice & informative as well. Would come back again & and recommend to others ?.“

“Fantastic food, wine and service. We arrived on quiet Sunday evening and had great attention from our knowledgeable server. A blind tasting round, followed by dinner was classy yet unfussy. I was delighted to be treated with a dessert for my birthday. Though I was out with friend, this qualifies for a good date night location.“

“Some friends and I came here one early (7am) morning to have breakfast after a canceled reservation..... it was amazing. Miguel was our server, who was very informative and attentive. We started out with Bloody Mary's and micheladas, which was Miguel's own mix. They were delicious! I had the smoked salmon eggs benedict, and it was wonderful. None of us had anything we did not like. The atmosphere was pleasant, the decor was well done. We will definitely be coming here again in the future.

Parking: They do offer valet service, but if you can find street parking, it is free for the first two hours. We arrived so early in the morning that street parking was plentiful.“

Mayra was absolutely amazing she provided top-notch customer service with such a friendly attitude and a warm smile that truly made our dining experience feel special.

“Good food. Clean Location. Friendly Staff.“

“Great staff and food is A+++“

“Dinner was really good. We sat on the patio, and it turned into a beautiful evening. Service great, and we enjoyed The evening. I got the gnocchi, only complaint was it was a very small dish of pasta. It was delicious, but I shared a side with someone else. If I hadn't, the gnocchi wouldn't have been enough. Everyone else's portions seemed more filling. Overall- would recommend.“

“Food was amazing!!! I go there every year when we are in wine country.. this was our fifth time going... I was disappointed to see the hostess greet us in jeans!!! When the restaurant had a resort wear dress code!!! Someone had a child approx 3 years old was running around in the restaurant and someone with a dog came thru. I must say paying that much for a meal you want a relaxing environment . The food was excellent!!! And our server was great .“

“It the best rooftop restaurant“
