Staff was friendly and efficient. Just a great experience!“

“Violetto was a lovely experience. The staff all around have hospitality mastered. The chef chooses to tell stories with his offerings and uses local ingredients (from as close by as the property garden). There is a sense of playfulness in the menu and plenty of spaciousness to interact with each course (plates are coming carefully timed for savoring). The host, manager, bartender, and waiter were all attentive, knowledgeable, approachable, and chose to appear unhurried (which is an art in any restaurant!). Memorable meal! We will return when we are back in the area.“

“Very good dinner & Chevelle agrees!“

“One detail really caught my attention.

After finishing their meals, many people didn’t leave right away. Instead, they grabbed a cup of wine and wandered through the gallery, taking their time. No one seemed to be in a hurry, and nothing felt staged. It all happened naturally.

I think that’s what makes RH different from so many other restaurants. It’s not just a place to eat—it’s a space where dining, design, and everyday living come together. I’ve visited RH locations in different cities, and while each one reflects its own surroundings, they all share the same understated elegance that makes the brand so recognizable.

At the Napa location, I especially appreciated the simplicity of the menu. The ingredients were fresh, the flavors were clean, and the dishes let the quality of the food speak for itself instead of relying on heavy seasoning or unnecessary complexity. The service was equally thoughtful—attentive without feeling intrusive.

If I could suggest one thing, it would be to feature more seasonal ingredients from Napa’s local farms. It would be a wonderful way to connect the menu even more closely to the region.

By the time I left, I realized what stayed with me wasn’t just the meal. It was the pace of the experience. RH has a way of reminding you that a great restaurant isn’t only about what you eat—it’s also about how it makes you feel while you’re there.“

“Amazing experience. We felt very spoiled, we never had to wait for a course or the wine paired with it, our table was promptly cleared & cleaned between courses, even fresh silverware for each course. It was awesome. Food and dessert were absolutely delicious. Each dish brought out and explained. I was impressed that if there were 6 people at a table, then 6 servers brought out each person's food so that everyone got their food at the same time & everyone could eat while their food was hot. Both my husband's & my course choices were divine, every dish was delicious. We will be going back.“

“Truly amazing! Inspired and inventive menu, with a beautiful outdoor evening setting next to the vineyard. Add a few of the most delicious Napa wines and it’s an unforgettable experience. A little surprise waiting around each corner…“

“Friendly service and food was amazing.“

“Loved this restaurant! Staff, food and ambience are amazing. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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 !!“

“We decided to stop for lunch in downtown Yountville. We ordered two cheeseburgers (my husband's burger was a double), fries to share and two drinks. The food was fresh and delicious. But we were sticker shocked by the price. It ended up being $70! The staff were also not very friendly. The atmosphere was small and cozy (best suited for 1-2 people). Overall it was a fun afternoon but probably would only go on special occasions as tbe price point is high.“

“Want good food and a good view while eating, this is the great Napa location. The patio is beautiful on a sunny day and true Napa Valley scenery. The food was fresh and delicious. I had nachos but sub the chips with tater tots. The salsa had great flavor and not too spicy.
And the staff was delightful, friendly and attentive.
Just be aware the local birds are going to fly all around you.“

“Amszing Vegan options! Thank You!!“

“Best burger and fries ever!!!“

“Great comfort food and service. Enjoyed it very much.“

“I love it hundred percent“

“We had a magical time at our wine tasting at the Saint! From beginning to end, the experience and the staff were excellent. I had accidentally booked our tasting for the wrong month, but the staff was able to quickly accommodate us anyway. The tasting was phenomenal, with four wines paired with complementary cheeses. We were looking forward to tasting some mountain wines for our last tasting of the trip, and we were blown away by the quality and depth of these wines! The tasting prices at the Saint are an absolute steal for the quality of the wines and the luxurious tasting experience.

Our wine-tasting guide, Christopher, grew up in the Napa region, and his deep knowledge of wine in general (from the vineyards to the table), and these specific wines in particular, was clear throughout our tasting. One of the things I appreciate the most about Christopher is that he is not only knowledgeable and professional, but he is also a great listener. He didn’t have a “spiel” or stiff monologue like some guides. Instead, he gave us key information as he poured each glass, answered our many questions, and talked with us about the nose and palate of the wines we tasted. His great listening was evident when he was able to respond to specific comments and make tailored recommendations based on the tasting notes we liked the most. We ended up going “off road” to try some different wines on his recommendations, including some incredible Night Wines (from a small-production, very high-elevation winery which I believe is owned by some of the same people who own the Saint—if you are in the bar, definitely try their wines!). Our group was very slow—we take a lot of notes and take our time smelling and tasting—but Christopher was very relaxed. He adapted to our pace and reassured us that we could take our time, which made the experience even more luxurious. When the wine started to go to our heads and we asked if there was any way if we could order an unplanned cheese tray, Christopher and other staff members quickly put together a beautiful platter for us with nuts, cheeses, crackers, and herbs. They were even able to provide some homemade gluten-free crackers when I let them know about my allergy. At the end of the tasting, we ended up buying several bottles, some of which we plan to put away in our cellar and are very excited to open someday.

I would highly recommend the Saint to anyone who is visiting the region and wants to try some top-notch, complex, highly structured mountain wines without driving up the mountain itself! Thank you to Christopher and everyone at the Saint who helped give us such an amazing experience!“

“Hmm

Been here before and it's uneven in certain respects and good in others.

The good:

Justin the barkeep our first visit is fantastic! Worth going to hang with as my bartender if I was local.

I loved the hand cut potato chips. And the well grilled beyond burger was prepared really well with lots of char. Yum.

The salads were solid and worth getting.

The beer selection worked for both me (reds/ambers) and my partner (bitter IPAs). Good job.

Good locals. Very enjoyable time. Nice vibe

Not so good

Second visit,

bartender...clueless... multiple mistakes... food order back and forth. Constantly running back and forth to the kitchen.

Rude clientele...not locals.

Will be back our next time. Hope for a more evening performance.“

“We have been here many times over the years and it is always very nice.“

“It suits my taste very well, even if it's not very healthy.“

“Excellent, flavorful, inventive food, beautifully presented; they’ve expanded their sushi offerings since I was here last, and we dove in! Warm, attentive service. Casual yet stylish setting which was buzzing with energy on a weekday. We’ll be back!“

“Enjoyed brunch @ Bruce today everyone was nice and the food was awesome! I will be back for sure“
