14 Best American Restaurants in Saint Helena

“The yurt experience is really special“

“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“

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

“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…“

“My sister and I met up for a vegetarian dinner and we found Gatehouse Restaurant to be fantastic! The menu had enough options to choose exactly 4 (mix and match) entrees(vegetarian/vegan only). Each entree was outstanding, flavor pairing was ingenious. My sister and I immensely enjoyed trying to taste the delicate balance that was set before us.. absolutely delightful food combinations, and the service was perfection.“

“Friendly service and food was amazing.“

“A delightful and sad moment. We did all of our favorite items, loved our interaction with Laramie, and felt heaviness of heart as we went out the door for the last time. This has been such a treasure in The Valley and we will miss it keenly..“

“I love it hundred percent“

“Would give it 5 stars but $25 for a Tito’s espresso martini is kind of ridiculous. Service was amazing. Super cool vibe. Idk I just think that’s a little wild, I’ve been to a lot of nice restaurants in Napa and this wins for the for the most expensive martini I’ve ever had.“

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