Excellent food and attentive service. Portions are small, and on the expensive side, but wildly delicious. Valet parking only.

I took my friend here on a Tuesday for brunch. We were seated right away. My friend had the waffle with fresh fruit, and homemade whipped cream. I had a wonderful bowl of hot oatmeal garnished with dried fruits and maple syrup. I had the delicious French pressed coffee and heated cream. Good food and reasonable prices. I will return.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and I must say, it was the best dining experience I've ever had. I wholeheartedly believe that everyone should indulge here at least once in their lifetime.The food was nothing short of outstanding, with each dish perfectly seasoned to perfection. One of the highlights of our evening was our seats in front of the kitchen, where we had the privilege of witnessing the chefs work their magic firsthand. It added an extra layer of excitement and appreciation to the meal.I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, look no further. Treat yourself and indulge in the culinary delights offered here—you won't regret it.

Absolutely amazing dining experience. The food looked and, most importantly, tasted amazing. Our server was knowledgeable and personable. Standout dishes were the Dungeness Crab Bucatini, Striped Sea Bass, and the Beef Cheeks and Braised Greens. Corison cab was the standout wine on the menu. Can't wait to visit Acacia House again.

I was so excited to finally make it to this restaurant after having to cancel my birthday brunch due to weather and illnesses in January. We were seated, the ambiance was lovely and we were all ready to enjoy a nice breakfast meal. We started by ordering coffee while we perused the menu. It took so long to arrive that we had read the menu multiple times. We finally ordered and again waited....and waited. The eggs arrived other than we ordered, my dish came lukewarm and tasteless (except for the potatoes) and my husband found a hair in his eggs. The coffee was not drinkable because it was so bitter and we had to ask, after our food came, for the juice drinks we ordered earlier. It was so disappointing. I would not recommend this restaurant nor would I return.

This place was absolutely delicious. One of the best burgers I've ever had. And this margarita was fantastic. The salt foam was so yummy and loved the shaved lime on top. I love the grand look of the house when you approach. The ambience inside was elegant and chic. And loved the outdoor patio. The staff was wonderful and provided amazing service. Looking forward to going back someday.

The restaurant is located in a really cute historical house. We ordered the beets salad & the vegetables were so fresh, just picked from their garden. The branzino was delicious with thinly shaved fennel & the brine of capers just pops with every bite. The saltiness came from the olives. The burger was juicy & the homemade buns were soft. The fries were crispy & addictive. Service was good.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Acacia House for lunch on a Sunday afternoon, and it exceeded all of my expectations. Previously, I hadn't visited since the hotel rebranded as Alila Hotel, with several chef changes, but I'm so glad I decided to give it another try. To start off, I tried the salted air Mexico City margarita, and it was just as fantastic as I remembered. The balance of flavors was perfect, making it a truly refreshing cocktail. For our appetizer, we ordered the sugar snap peas salad with pancetta, pea shots, and cheese. This salad was a pleasant surprise - it was light, refreshing, and bursting with flavors. It's easily the best salad I've had in a long time. Moving on to the main course, I decided to try the chicken schnitzel, which is one of their signature dishes. And let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was cooked to perfection, with a crispy exterior and tender meat. It was served with a delightful sauce that complemented the dish perfectly. The highlight of the dining experience, however, was the Victorian style patio where we chose to sit. On a good day, it's an insanely comfortable place to enjoy your meal. The ambiance was charming and added to the overall dining experience. I highly recommend Acacia House to anyone visiting town. The food, cocktails, and ambiance are all top-notch. Whether you're looking for a casual lunch or a special evening out, this place is definitely worth a visit.

I give this place 5 stars because the food and service is amazing. I came for Sunday brunch before a day of wine tasting and I am so glad I did. First, this place is beautiful and comes with complimentary valet parking. The ambiance is beautiful and warm. Service was professional and friendly. I started with their pastry basket which changes daily and this day they had a March muffin, bacon scone, croissant and a chocolate bread. All delicious. To finish up I had their chilaquiles which were BOMB! Full of flavor and all of the elements blended together. I highly recommend this place!
Zachary (GM at Acacia House) and Thomas (Executive Chef at Acacia House) were very accommodating to some bespoke menu requests at Acacia House where we dined several times (for breakfast, lunch, and dinner) during a stay at Alila Napa Valley. Chef Thomas Lents is a newish addition to the Acacia House team (having joined, I believe, in only November 2023), but he is a definite standout star. Given his previous experience working at Michelin star restaurants, and his approach to farm-to-table dining - at Acacia House you get to taste the locally grown ingredients with every bite (without the pretentiousness that comes with restaurants of this quality). It really seems to signify the phrase 'Taste the View'. The Globalist breakfast options at Acacia House were also some of the best breakfast options you can get as a Globalist at any Hyatt property. If you're vegetarian or vegan and concerned they don't seem to have enough menu options for such - don't be. They are happy to oblige dietary constraints and will accommodate on the spot or for a truly memorable experience make something bespoke with advance notice.

My husband surprised me with brunch reservations here this past weekend. The setting is very charming. Acacia House is located in a 1907 Georgian farmhouse that's part of the Alila Hotel. The design aesthetic is contemporary/upscale rustic. I ordered a lavender latte, which was delicious! For starters, we split the Acacia House Pastries, which comes with a chocolate muffin, savory scone, croissant and some sort of spiced bread. It's served with butter and marmalade. It's definitely enough to split. For my main, I ordered the sweet potato risotto with walnuts. It was flavorful and very filling. I had enough to take home for an early supper. I'd like to come back and try the dinner here one day. FYI: There's no self-parking option onsite, but there is complimentary valet.

Service and atmosphere were great! This winery is absolutely gorgeous from both outside and inside. Unfortunately, we were not a fan of the food or drinks. We wanted to enjoy a nice coffee and breakfast but were disappointed by the food quality. The only thing that I would recommend ordering here is the chips and dip! Otherwise, everything else may appear aesthetically pleasing to the eyes, but the high price you pay for the taste is NOT worth it. There's free valet parking on site.

Amazing, just amazing! The atmosphere, service and food are not to miss! We were greeted with smiles and seated quickly...though I'm sure they're frequently at capacity (so call to make a reservation). They have both indoor and outdoor dining available (weather permitting). The menu is not extensive, but the variety and quality can't be beat! We enjoyed the Farro Risotto, Beets & Burrata and Beef Cheeks, all cooked to perfection! (The menu changes, so don't be surprised if you find other wonderful "beginnings", "mid-course" and main dishes). They have various liquors and beer and wine...which can be purchased by the bottle or glass. Whenever you're in the St. Helena area, take some time and enjoy a wonderful meal at the Acacia House restaurant.
