The dish Deviled Eggs is much more than expected. The taste of many dishes is special made but with a satisfying flavor.

We love creative kitchens and this place delivers! Every dish was meticulously done, gentle, every ingredient adds to the overall dish experience - overall super delightful! Highly recommended if you like to venture outside of traditional menus.

We went there the other night and the food was terrible. We heard such amazing things about this restaurant and our entire party thought it was bad. To the point that we all wanted to send our food back but didn't even know how to do that. We pretty much left all our food. Paid the bill and left. There are so many better restaurants in Napa - go to them instead. From one foodie to another.

Torc delivered a really memorable dining experience overall. We started the evening with cocktails, which were fantastic and set a great tone for the meal. Our server, Gabe, was excellent throughout the night. He gave thoughtful guidance on our selections, helped steer our decisions, and everything he recommended landed perfectly. The lumache was a creative spin on house-made mac and cheese and packed with flavor. It was comforting while still feeling elevated. The duck breast was the standout dish of the night and easily the highlight of the meal. It was beautifully prepared and incredibly flavorful. The only dish that fell a little short was the aged New York steak. While it was still good, it didn’t quite meet expectations for the $140 price point. We finished with desserts that were absolutely delicious and a great way to end the evening. The atmosphere was lively but comfortable, making it perfect for a special night out.

I was wondering what a $49 dollar grilled cheese would taste like and while I don't plan on ordering again due to the price, it was absolutely awesome and I'm glad we ordered it. Now the main courses were exceptional. I had the CONCHIGLIE, pork shank sugo, black garlic, castelvetrano olive, pecorino romano and my wife had the exquisitely decadent lumache. This is elevated cuisine and the service was just as elevated. We live in Healdsburg area and we must say that over the past few years, Napa has really improved it's dining options, so we're willing to make the drive.

Very disappointing experience. The food was underwhelming, and afterward our entire party felt sick. One person with dietary restrictions became seriously ill due to apparent cross-contamination, despite those restrictions being communicated. This is not acceptable, and we won’t be coming back.
With so many other good choices in Napa, don't waste your time.

This is our favorite restaurant. Food is innovative and we like the way the menu changes occasionally. Of course, we love all the staff.

The short rb pasta and scallops were amazing! I highly recommend them! Also the pakora was especially tasty for apps. Service was a delight for our anniversary!

We were really excited to dine at TORC and while the food was excellent, the service and overall dining experience fell short for a restaurant at this caliber. When we arrived, we were seated immediately, which was a great start, but unfortunately that was the last of the timely service. It took about 15 minutes before our waiter approached our table for the first time. When he finally explained the prix fixe menu, he spoke so quickly that we could barely understand what he was saying, which made the experience feel rushed and a bit impersonal. That said, the food itself was outstanding and easily the highlight of the night. The dining room, however, was extremely loud and the tables are placed very close together. At one point, a server speaking to the neighboring table was practically right in our space. I would strongly recommend avoiding the tables with bench seating, as it felt especially cramped and uncomfortable. Overall, it is a toss-up whether we would return. The food was truly excellent, but the service and atmosphere did not match what we expected from a higher-end Napa restaurant.
The food was good great but the service was better two thumbs up for me. I would definitely recommend!

Overpriced and underwhelming from start to finish. The food lacked quality and creativity, portions were surprisingly small, and nothing felt worth what we paid. Service was inattentive and dismissive even by the manager when we tried to share feedback. Unfortunately not a place we’d return to.

Overpriced for what it is. Portions stingy and flavors all mixed and off for the dishes. No service at all. Was never asked how everything is. Very disappointing experience overall. And is no comparison to all other Napa restaurants in same price range or those that are in the lower price range.
