44 Best American Restaurants in Napa

“guick, easy, great brunch“

“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!“

“Good thing I didn’t let reviews influence me. We had an amazing dinner at Bear! Being able to do table shares allowed us to try amazing assortment. Lettuce wrap short ribs-yummy; beets !!, gems salad sirloin steak, sea bass! I could go on and on. Needed a triple order of sourdough!!!! Great service and fun, fun evening.. not your standard meat and potatoes place-a culinary experience😜“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I had never been there before truffle festival 2026 at the oxbow market. I got myself a California burger with garlic fries and loved every bite. My compliments to the chefs. 10/10. 100/100. Whatever the scoring system is. I absolutely recommend if you’re in the area.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I got the bacon breakfast burrito for 13$ and change which is a little cheap for Napa. It was the best breakfast burrito I’ve had in a while. Crispy bacon and the avocado was a nice surprise. Friendly staff, for a local I’m surprised I’ve never been here. I’ll definitely be back.“

“We were at group of 7 celebrating a birthday. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. I had the Pecan Crusted Catfish. It was to die for with mashed potatoes and wilted spinach 😋 I would recommend this place as a must stop for fine dining in Napa.“

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

“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!“

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

“Hilltop is truly a treat! The views are absolutely breathtaking and create the perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. The service was spectacular—friendly, attentive, and made us feel so well taken care of. Everything we ordered off the menu was fresh and delicious. Since we booked our stay through a travel agent, we also received the breakfast buffet, which was mostly pastries. They were tasty, though it would have been even better with a few more protein options. Overall, Madera is a beautiful spot with amazing food and service, and we’d definitely come back!“

“Went with friends to help support a new and growing business at the lake. Three got burgers and I got the chicken sandwich. We had all read previous reviews and were not expecting too much. We were surprised and pleased with the size and quality of our meals. The service was friendly and attentive. We look forward to them getting their alcohol license. We will definitely be back.“

“Excellent place friendly staff no long wait time kosy place too dine in staff on point. Food is excellent. Nice clean very quiet and relax environment.“

“great food and price eccelnt tri tip sanwitches. me and my worker drive extra far to eat here when we are woking in the area. highly recommended. prices lowered than fast food but reasturant quality food. can't say enough about how good the food is.“

“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.“

“On our visit to Napa we stopped here for a coffee and a piece of chocolate banana bread. It was so good we stopped the next day for breakfast. The place is cute, the staff is friendly and attentive and the food was delicious! Homemade corned beef hash and short rib omelette! The salad I ordered with omelette was equally fresh and delicious! Highly recommend.“

“Our neighborhood spot with friendly staff, consistently good food, a relaxing patio and always running into someone we know!“

“Nosh Napa is excellent for Breakfast and brunch ! George’s service is excellent . No wait compared to the ridiculous 45 minute wait at sunshine cafe . Get the eggs with potatoes and mushrooms with sourdough bread . Yum yum ! French toast is also excellent . Avocado toast with eggs was so delish . Highly recommended to come here !!“

“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.“

“By far a winery everyone should be trying. Small local growers with some fantastic wines. The tasting room is small and intimate and Dan was fantastic, I truly enjoyed the experience, and purchased some really good Cab and Zin. This is off the beaten path so if you are looking for something different, this is the place!“

“Jen was an amazing bartender and server. The restaurant was clean and popular!! It’s got sports on about 15 tvs including big screens. Great place to watch a game. The wings were awesome! The cheeseburgers were perfect!!We definitely will be coming back to this Applebees:)“

“Good food. Clean Location. Friendly Staff.“

“My husband and I LOVE Compline. We typically have lunch there for either the best fried chicken sandwich or the most amazing burger - of course with their super delicious duck fat fries - YUM. We occasionally attend their special dinners as well. Always great food and wine at good price. The staff is always welcoming and efficient. Matt's recommendation for pairing as spot on (as would be expected). This is a definite must try if you are in town.“

“I had a wonderful dining experience at Andaz Farmers Table! Our server, Vilma, provided amazing service—she was extremely efficient, polite, and attentive. What impressed me even more was that when we returned the next day, Vilma wasn't even assigned to our table, yet she still took the time to check in on us multiple times with a warm and pleasant attitude. That level of hospitality really stands out!
As for the food, every dish looked incredible and tasted just as good. The meals are generous, filling, and offer great value for the money. Easily the best breakfast experience we've had so far during our trip. Highly recommend!“

“Please recognize Raphael for his leadership as Service and quality food was excellent. Raphael is a credit to your organization and represents your leadership very well. Also, please compliment Nishan With his Customer Service and professionalism. We will continue to return our recommend IHOP to our friends and family because of people like Raphael and Nishan.“

“We had been there multiple times through the years. This time we made reservations for Monday evening. Apparently as of Friday, two days before, they had switched to a fixed menu only of multiple courses. While they had sides, they wouldn't let us order them. Since we were fairly full, we said, we'd just split the fixed menu, but they wouldn't allow that either! A transition period? Notification that things have changed? Some level of customer service given they had just changed the way they functioned? Nope. We had to leave.“

“I had a wonderful birthday dinner at Farm on 8/19/26. We had a party of 7 who were all staying at the resort. Everyone enjoyed their meals! We especially loved all the farm fresh veggies and house made herb butter! I had salmon, it was perfectly cooked and a great preparation. The server did a great job and presented a bottle of champagne one of my family members ordered from out of state just for the dinner, very nice and great attention to detail.“

“It the best rooftop restaurant“
