“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.“

“I had the best ceviche I ever had on our visit on November 6, 2025. It was stunningly presented and contained a lot of very fresh seafood not all of which I can remember, but it was presented in a coconut sauce with dots of green oil (pumpkin maybe) and topped with a baked or fried slice of plantain balanced on top. There were also nasturtium leaves placed around the ceviche and it was beautiful to look at as well as eat. I followed up with stuffed roasted quail, also beautifully presented and prepared and my husband and I both finished with a delicious passionfruit cheesecake. My husband had little pieces of lamb filets with a variety of vegetables for his main course, roasted to pink perfection and again the presentation couldn't have been more appealing. Most of the greens and the mini peppers and tomatoes we saw growing in the huge vegetable garden all around the restaurant and the Culinary Institute. We were also grateful that the professor who was in charge of that particular evening's students (I think he was their hospitality prof) made it possible for us to have dinner there that very evening, even though the restaurant was fully booked. Kudos to the students of the CIA. They are certainly set up for a successful career in hospitality and, of course kudos to their teachers. Bravo!“

“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…“

“STICKY PIG EARS!!!! You must get them! If you google it, goose and gander is the first result. They were so good we got a second order for dessert. I wish they were open for lunch. The other food was really good too.

We went back for more crispy pig ears!!!“

“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!“
