New American Restaurants in Napa, CA

“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😜“

“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!“

“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…“

“Great place for the Real California Milk Pizza Contest!! 💪🏽🏆💯“

“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!“

“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.“

“So delicious and the service is excellent. I will definitely be a frequent customer moving forward.“

“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 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.“

“Food was delicious, great selection of wines. Knocking one star for the hosts who could frankly be a little hospitable. We're locals and have dined here several times. I specifically requested a table outdoor for our party this time and maybe it was a broken connection-communication between the OpenTable platform and the restaurant but we were placed inside with no level of efforts to try and accommodate and an argumentative host more concerned about being right than being customer friendly.“

“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 visited your winnery last Sunday for a wine tasting and it turned out to be the perfect setting for a very special moment—I proposed to my girlfriend here! Jim went above and beyond to help make the occasion truly unforgettable. From the warm hospitality to the thoughtful touches, everything exceeded our expectations. The wines were fantastic, but what stood out most was the genuine care and attention that made the day so memorable. This winery will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Sincerely yours,

Chef Jesus Hernandez and Carmen Placensia“

“Haven't been to Compline since before Covid and it is still serving great food and wine. Had the fried chicken and my friend had the burger. Fried chicken was dark brown so looked burnt but it wasn't. The boneless pieces were so tasty and the gravy and mustard greens were excellent. My friend loved the burger and commented on how brioche like the bun was. Had an excellent red Burgundy (Rollin) and was priced well at $75. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Live music on Friday and Saturday evenings!“

“Amazing Service at Hilltop!

Had a fantastic experience at the Hilltop Restaurant thanks to Steph! From the moment we sat down, Steph was super accommodating and really knew the menu inside and out. They made great recommendations and were always there when we needed something.

Steph’s helpfulness and genuine care made our day special. If you're heading to Hilltop, definitely ask for Steph—you won’t be disappointed!“

“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.“
