Decor was very outdated and not inviting. We r locals and went to try out happy hour. There was hardly anyone there but both bar tender and food service was slow. Potstickers and sliders were good. Chicken wings were chewy, tough and old. Mac and cheese was gummy, forgot green onions and bar tender told us there were issues with it.Had to ask for several things twice because bar tender kept forgetting.Thought it was funny when I asked about pasta special he said the items just all put together with no sauce. Made it sound really unappealing.It was our first time here and unfortunately our last. Nothing was memorable, food or service.

The first night dinner took forever and we had to remind the server twice that didn't have our food yet. Food was great but over priced. 2nd time server was much more attentive and the food was great.

This little place is nestled in the Marriott. The presentation of the food was flawless I should have taken a picture of my breakfast when it arrived. I had an omelette. The spinach tasted like it came from a can. I was unable to eat it. I told the waiter. He said he would talk to the chef. He never came back. A busser came by. I told him the same thing. Say, the same response. We came for breakfast so they did not serve french fries I am assuming the ones on the floor were left from the previous night. (See photo) I don't want to miss the opportunity to speak about the bellman. He was amazing. He brought us a complimentary bottle of wine for our table and made us feel comfortable ands welcomed. He might be the only reason to stop in. His name is Shredrick.if you go in I'm sure you will see him.

We were staying at the Napa Valley Marriott Hotel & Spa for the weekend. Returned late from a concert one night and was looking for some place to eat. Asked the front desk and they informed us that we can try Little Summer which may be closing in 15 minutes. Was hoping we would still get served a decent meal and boy we were pleasantly surprised!The bar was full but there were no other diners. The place was well-lit and inviting with no obvious sign of closing for the night.Irene, our server, was very nice and accommodating. We never felt rushed and she was very patient as we made our decisions on what to order.The Tempura Avocado was a great start. We shared the Half Roasted Chicken which was perfectly roasted chicken so tasty and juicy served with zucchini, fingerling potatoes and fried basil. The perfect ending to our delightful meal was the Warm Butter Toffee Cake served with pistachio gelato, a sprinkle of candied pistachios, and a drizzle of salted caramel.Truly a five star experience!

We were lucky to be the only ones there inside the restaurant as others were out on the patio. The food was very good and unusual dishes. Everyone enjoyed their meals.

I ordered Fried Rock Shrimp and it was definitely on the saltier side. It was crunchy even after being in the togo box for awhile. Service is good despite being so busy.

Remarkably excellent food. Don’t be put off by the fact that it’s in a hotel.

After a day visiting wineries, we didn't have the energy to find somewhere to eat, so this little restaurant within the hotel was our top choice. We stepped in and we weren't greeted, so we asked at the bar if it was open seating, and they said yes, pick your table. We sat down and it was about ten minutes before a waitress came by for orders. I ordered the beet salad and a side of fries. The fries were delicious- hot, crispy on the outside, tasty. The beet salad, while not what I anticipated, was also delicious. It was simple and clean and healthy. There was no lettuce involved, which was a disappointment but I still really enjoyed the salad. I ran out of water about halfway through dinner and it wasn't noted/refilled. I think they were short staffed today. Overall the food was delicious. I wish they had a somewhat bigger menu with more options but what I had was great. While staff was friendly, it would be nice to have more attentive service.

Hubby found this place on Yelp not realizing it was located in the Marriott. We came here for lunch as it was close to my work. We practically had the place to ourselves! The server was very nice and attentive. Menu is rather limited and much like elevated bar menu, which was fairly fitting for the space. Food was decent and filling. We ordered too much for two people! I'd likely come back if I just wanted a nice but casual lunch.

The food is yummy and creative. The butternut squash and apple soup and the Marin french crostini were delicious. Customer service is wonderful.
It should be noted this restaurant is the bar in the z Marriott Hotel. Did I miss that? That being said - the bread was amazing. The scallops were delicious and drinks were outstanding.

Lattes are delicious, food was delicious and the new set up is eye catching.

Our dinner was ok, I realize it was Thanksgiving and that generally it's not the restaurant at it's best. We would have liked to have started off with an appetizer but nothing was offered. I think they were trying to rush dinner. My steak was good and cooked to perfection, my grandaughter selected the traditional turkey dinner and it came out just warm and the turked on the think side of things and dry.

Unfortunately, while the food was fine, it felt like I was eating in the lobby of a medium-level hotel. They need to do more to screen off the dining room from the rest of the lobby. I felt sorry for the chef who is trying to do interesting dishes. He would be better off at a different venue. In Napa, if a restaurant isn't good, I don't go back. We have too many other options.

What a gem! Amazing food and great vibe. I had a long day and arrived at Napa at an ungodly hour and the waitress still took me in 3 min before kitchen closes. And surprised me with great food.
