TORC

"California cuisine is what this place does. Simple fresh ingredients, a small menu of items done well. A good wine list and cocktails to go with the meal."

"Had a wonderful experience at Torc tonight. David was our server and did an outstanding job. Every single member of the staff was very friendly and attentive. What a memorable experience, and we will be back for many years to come!!"

"The most amazing experience I've ever had. Just go. Amazing everything. Chilled Pea Soup & pistachio/ strawberry tiramisu were to die for. I loved the tempura asparagus the sauce was addicting and I loved how they sliced the asparagus before it was fried. I liked the pakora but would get 3 each of the above before I'd reorder it. The service was perfect. The music was right up my alley.... Played classic R & B, hip hop. I loved eating my meal listening to Wutang & The Fugees. We sat outside it was beautiful. This was my first time here And I know I'll come back every single time I visit. Can't wait!"

"A highlight of the Napa restaurant scene, Torc brings some eye watering specials to the table with enormous steaks and a wild lobster feast that will explode any unwitting wallet, but the main menu is full of inspired favorites that don’t necessarily have to break the bank. Every item is high quality and sustainable, local where possible. From the pakora to the perfectly seasoned fries and pastas- they’re nailing flavor and texture across the board. Service could have been more unique or attentive, but it wasn’t poor. Everything happened with good cadence and control, but I can see what other diners say when they expect perfection for the prices being paid. Try the bread. Try the pastas. The steaks may not live up to the hype or price tags. Pea soup was lovely. Ditto the salad. They’ve got a vegetable team working just as hard as the meat team which you love to see."

"This place is top notch! The space is beautiful with a decent size bar/very high ceilings and an open kitchen. The host was super kind, our table wasn't ready yet so we got a drink at the bar. The bartender was pleasant. Really good vibes in there Once we sat after we were quickly greeted by Marco who gave us a run down of the menu. He made suggestions as well. I'm sad I forgot to take photos of our first course watch was a crostini with burrata and truffles. We also order the Pakora, mywife took a bit and said "oh wow". The flavor combo was so good. We shared the salad which was simple and fresh. Next was the pasta dish, which may have been the star. We got the fettuccine with the ragu, the whole dish just kinda melted in my mouth. Entrees with had the scallops and the duck breast. Both excellent. This was my first night in Napa and Torc set the bar very high I fear I maybe disappointed with my other dining experiences. Was not hungry didn't even finish the entrees but had to order the banana pudding and it was worth it. I was happy to see a Vieux Carré on the menu! Last year my wife and I went to Mardi Gras and we discovered this cocktail. This restaurant reminded me off other amazing restaurants I've been too in New Orleans which is a great city to eat When leaving we were telling the host how great everything was and she looked very proud and said my husband is the chef. Love that."
