14 Best American Restaurants in Saint Helena

“The yurt experience is really special“

“Amazing atmosphere and vibe! Food was delicious! Price was to be expected for the area but definitely worth it 🫶🏻🪷“

“We had an amazing dinner here tonight. It was a busy Friday evening, but the manager found us a place to sit at the bar within about 10 minutes, and apologized for the wait (which was totally unnecessary). I had the surf and turf daily special and my wife had the filet medallions. We shared the butterscotch pudding for dessert, which I would highly recommend. The staff was attentive and the kitchen cooked our steaks to perfection. Highly recommend eating here if you’re in St. Helena“

“Had a great breakfast!!!!“

“They really have their service down. The staff was extremely attentive in an unobtrusive way, on top of being personable. Truly no notes on the service. The dining room atmosphere was decent. My only complaint is the bathroom location makes it feel disjointed from the restaurant (totally nitpicking there). I heard they are trying to get a michelin star, given the price point, and that the dishes were for the most part tweaked/elevated versions of classic dishes, I don't think the food was quite consistently excellent enough to get there. I think they are reasonably close. The crab pasta course was overwhemed a bit by the red pepper sauce it was a touch too acidic which competed with the flavor of the crab. the cheese desert seemed a little simplistic, and they weren't interesting enough to make up for the simplicity. The tuna carpaccio, while very tastey and well balance flavorwise, didn't highlight the tuna which was lightly seared, muting the flavor, and making it not feel like a tuna carpaccio dish. The duck was well cooked, but all the seasoning was in the sauce making it you you had to get the ratio of duck to sauce right for the seasoning to work. Ideally it would have been more evenly distributed. I think they could also use a little work on portion size. The carpaccio, and rissoto were a bit too big.
All of these details are very nitpicky, and we had a very nice evening, but if they want to get to that next level, I think these details need more attention.“

“Amazing experience, great food, excellent customer service special day out with the Fam“

“Excellent service, great atmosphere and delicious food.“

“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…“

“We enjoyed a lovely experience with our sister and daughter who had never been to Napa. The selection of options were a bit out of my husbands wheelhouse. The staff did a great job trying to accommodate. Most of The wine parings didn't stand on their own or significantly compliment the dishes. The best dish for me was course 2. The coconut with lime was memorable and I'd eat that every week if I could. Big thank you to all the students I know they work hard and it's not easy. Blessings to all.“

“Friendly service and food was amazing.“

“We let them know we were coming up to celebrate our anniversary and were greeted with "Happy Anniversary " and then when we were seated and handed menus, we saw that we had special menus that said "Happy Anniversary " on them. We were given complementary rose sparkling wine. We were treated like royalty and the food was outstanding as always. It is unfortunate that they will be closing at the end of December. We love Goose and Gander!“

“I love it hundred percent“

“Had a reunion with all of my prior employees and it was great! They had us in The Vault which was quiet and private, but our waiter came to check on us regularly. The food was fantastic and we all had a great time. What we ate: Hamburgers, Crab Louie salad, mixed salads and salmon. We also had two appetizers and they were both great--a cheese platter and burrata tray. We will be back!“

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