The food is exceptional! Very inventive and creative, beautifully prepared and professionally served. Our server was incredibly well-informed and friendly, and helped make the evening even more enjoyable. Definitely recommend it !

We did happy hour instead of dinner. Got the meatballs and chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich was hands down the best I ever had. Highly recommend.

Lots of hard surfaces make for a noisy dining room. Plus, my husband has a hearing aid and it couldn't quite adjust to the noise level. But the pop up Turkish meal was excellent. Really nicely executed across the board. Just a little disappointed that the flight of Turkish wines we were so excited about were fairly short pours for the $$ charged. Overall a really nice way to try a new cuisine right here in Napa 👍

Wonderful experience. Located right next to the Oxbow market in downtown Napa, this restaurant serves an amazing brunch in a serene garden atmosphere with great service. A true find.

Very beautiful place! Love that their garden is at the front of the building to look at all the produce they use in the food. Our server Collin was som friendly, polite, informative. He brought us blankets and turned the heaters on for us. We ordered the $90 4 course menu. We shared the appetizer which was the focaccia bread and salad. Then we're able to choose separate pasta, main and deserts. The ox tail pasta was ok. The flavors didn't all blend well for me. This was the first time I've tried rock fish, and I'm not sure I liked it, but the broth it was sitting in was delicious. The Panna Cotta was the star. So for me, the start and end of the meal were the highlights.

Went with a galpal just to have a day and the food was scrumptious, layers of flavors, beautifully presented, a delight to all the senses. The service was absolutely perfect and added more pleasure and fun to the experience, loved every bit of it and happy to recommend unreservedly!

Our guests from SF were delighted with The Grove. It was perfect Napa weather, and we started with a walk through the beautiful garden that supplies the restaurant. A delicious brunch followed--we were all very pleased with our food. Service was excellent, with friendly staff. We sat outside for a bit after the meal to enjoy the fabulous weather and view of the garden. In every respect, this was a perfect Sunday brunch experience!

Had the brunch BLT, grain bowl and the chai chia pudding. I was very impressed. I have eaten at many Michelin restaurants and found the unsuspecting flavor profile to surprise to a delight. The profit goes back to the students for scholarships, I hear. We are very pleased to have come here.

It's a school allegedly teaching upscale cooking. The meal was a major fail. Tempura veggies were oily and unpleasant, maybe oil not hot enough or too much oil. Porcini carbonara too much pepper almost inedible. Duck breast way overcooked and some bits inedible. Spent $140 for food, doesn't include alcohol, for a very substandard meal. Waitress did not return to ask about meal so no chance to send food back. Very disappointed with Copia. Keep in mind that students working in kitchen are seniors ready for graduation. Did not get value for money.
Brunch at The Grove at Copia was excellent. Great food, friendly and attentive service, and a comfortable atmosphere. A perfect place to catch up with friends.

Parties of 6 include a 23% automatic gratuity. Most of the food was good, but portions are small and I left hungry. The swordfish was inedible. The broccoli rabe was too bitter. Overall would not recommend for the price.

My expectations were high- Napa Valley CIA, the freshest ingredients and highest caliber instruction. I was very disappointed. The service was subpar- the server had no idea what the menu items were or what was in them. She even said what is on the menu as "Roasted Potatoes" were crispy and fried (ridiculous). What came out was boiled flavorless potatoes over an underseasoned arugula puree (it was supposed to be pesto). It only went downhill from there. The "homemade rye focaccia" sounded amazing- it was a total joke. Very chewy undercooked and overproofed- extremely disappointing. Did I mention the service was also slow as molasses? The squid ink pasta with "seafood" was less than one ounce of advertised seafood and this was underseasoned and chewy. The rockfish was dry and had random bones (it was a fillet, should not have had any bones at all). Overall, miserable experience food wise, but the setting is nice. We were seated outside on the patio next to a heat lamp. It would have been much much worse if we were seated inside, as that lighting and decor is like that of a midrange hotel lobby. Won't be back.

Good ambiance, decent not fabulous food, over solicitous service which turned into slow service.
