Service was superb-Dwight is a real treat; ambience soothing; thanks for removing octopus from the menu
Hugo delivered some of the absolute best service we've ever had in a restaurant. My boyfriend used to work in the service industry and he was very pleased by Hugo. His demeanor, thoughtful pairings, and uplifting energy enhanced our experience to top notch! Ask for Hugo!
The food was absolutely delicious and the setting was incredible. Shelly provided the best service! I would highly recommend.
We had an excellent night out, starting at the speakeasy downstairs with excellent craft cocktails. That was followed by dinner with super fresh vegetables and very well prepared and presented entrées. The patio was really nice and the tables well spaced, complete with heaters that came on. It is the right time in the evening. 
My favorite restaurant in St Helena. The food is fabulous. My favorites are the mushroom soup, the filet mignon and the lamb chops. The meat is so tender and flavorful. Great bar downstairs and a nice wine list.
The food was terrible. The burger, which apparently they're known for, had no flavor. Add bone marrow (not sure why people recommend this) and a duck egg and it's a $40, tasteless, soggy burger. The duck fat fries were just like regular fries. Risotto, add chicken, was $50. Nothing special. The cocktails were NOT drinkable. Sent the first one back, tried something else and left that on the table when we left. My friend and I aren't the ones to normally send drinks back and have NEVER left alcohol on the table but we both felt the same exact way. The only things we liked were pig ears, mushroom soup and the chicken wings were average. So much food/beverages left behind for $400 between 4 of us, and that's with the first 2 cocktails removed from the bill. We will NOT be back.
Goose and Gander has amazing service as well as food quality. The bar downstairs offers an ambience like a speakeasy. The bartenders were very quick to fulfill orders. We dined outside and the service there was impeccable as well.
A wonderfully flavorful and enjoyable dinner with an amazing wine list. A real gem! Laramie is a personable and professional server with a great touch.
You will want at least one bite of everything on the menu! Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable and attentive! We made a meal of just the starters this time but have had main course that are outstanding. A little off the main road and multiple atmospheres- we like the main library dining room- so warm, inviting and charming. Outside seating is also extremely pleasant. You can’t go wrong here.
That was an unexpected, very nice discovery. We loved everything about this restaurant, the ambiance, food, unhurried and outstanding service.

Our food was great. Our friend's had to be sent back. Busy night, yet our server, Shelley, was very good. We will return.
Beautiful food, attentive staff!! Super cool bar but we ate outside. Would love to return.
Was running 15 minutes late due to traffic and contacted the restaurant. The restaurant took liberty to move our reservation from 4:45p to 5:00p. Reservation should have been kept at 4:45p to be seated upon our arrival. It was expressed to the hostess that we were attending a nearby concert and would appreciate if we could be served timely. She was aware because my mother who made the reservation as a birthday gift also called the restaurant to request we are served right away. Instead our food arrived late giving us only 10 minutes to savor and digest. Not only were we served late, other patrons seated after us were served their meal before us. Another disappointment was the Roasted Bone Marrow that had hardly any marrow. It was not a half bone but rather rounds and one piece was significantly mostly bone. To be fair the entrees were delicious.
We ate outdoors and the weather was perfect, making the dining experience wonderful. The service was very good, there when we needed her and not there when we didn't.
Great spot! So glad we had dinner here. Went right before the Andrea Bocelli concert. Ordered the katsu and duck fat fries. Wedge salad was delicious. Shrimp cocktail was perfect. Definitely will come back here again. I think it was nice to sit outside. We sat inside so it was kind of dark and I couldn't see the menu and had to use the little lamp. Staff was friendly and our server and service was excellent.
