Lovina

"Our team of seven felt the food was average at best. Most of what we received was lukewarm verging on cold. The deviled eggs we ordered were excessively salty and we were informed they were already two days old. We appreciated the host's agreement regarding the egg dish's overly salted state, which led to its removal from our bill. We unanimously agreed that the most enjoyable dish we had was the bread served with green butter. Meanwhile, the restaurant's setting was pleasant due to a snug little room on the second floor that we occupied. However, having a single small restroom created inconvenience as we constantly found ourselves in a queue. Considering the high price, we found the food experience unsatisfactory. Therefore, we won't be coming back and unfortunately can't recommend the place to others exploring Napa Valley."

"Excellent value and tasty food. Cozy atmosphere in a rainy day. The spicy pork and beef bolognese was exceptionally good. The fettuccine had great texture in homemade style. The seared wild halibut went well with the creamy sauce and mushroom. The polenta mushroom cube were crunchy and tasty. The drinks were refreshing and good pairing with the dishes. Staff was friendly and attentive."

"Lovina Roving Fest - I LOVE CALISTOGA says it all. The layered tastes included a delightful menu while on a downtown stroll: Lovina, EV Flowers, Picayune, and Cami. What a treat—photo story!"

"When I first entered the restaurant, it was cozy and intimate, filled with people. It would be my first time bringing my parents and brother to a place of this caliber. The first thing we notice is how expensive the menu seems, but in hindsight, the restaurant pays the workers a living wage with benefits, which is rare. So, it all factors into the menu price. The first dish of Millionaire Devil Egg is delicious, with contrasting flavors of micro greens and compound butter sauce. The second dish of pumpkin cream soup is, as expected, delicious. The last dish of the steak and endives is perfectly grilled to medium rare perfection. I would say the service is attentive with great speed. Despite the higher cost, I would say to try the restaurant, and you won't be disappointed."

"Simply all around 5 star experience. Made the evening for us - hospitality from staff who helped us was the best!! You guys rock (Rachael et al). We were out of town visiting to spend few days in Calistoga. We were staying @ a local place so had made the reservation in advance (would highly suggest that and look for outdoor patio when booking). We were early by 20 mins or so and were basically turned away to come back which could have been handled differently. But the hospitality after we arrived at our reservation time, made it for that unpleasant experience; so much so we totally forgot about that. While we waited for our perfect table at the deck, we were seated at the bar and served wine and because we had to wait for additional time at the bar (seated and enjoying convo with wine), we were served complimentary starter. Food and wine was the BEST!! Halibut is a must try! This is served with shredded form of mushrooms and house made gnocchi that were the best we had ever had. And must I say - its a great place for vegetarians. We also tried veggie spaghetti bolognese that was flavorful. Thank you for the wonderful experience!! This will be our go to place everytime we are here!"
