"Small local restaurant recommended by local. It was beyond expectation! Wagyu beef burger and fries were excellent. The dipping sauces yummy. Seafood cioppino was mind blowing good. One of the best ones I had for a long time. So much flavors in one small scope of sauce. The sauce in the bowl was completely cleaned with the included poppy seed rye bread and fries from the burger. The house sangria had lots of tropical flavors. Very pleasant dining experience and worth the hype. I appreciate the kitchen has a lot of passion serving quality dishes."

"So, this place is really good. Attentive staff, nice atmosphere....but the food...it's incredible. The shrimp etueffe was as good or better than I ever had. The grilled avocado with bread, amazing, the fresh dressing on the salad, light and full of flavor. Well worth going to!! Also the best sangria I have ever had."

"We love coming to this charming patio restaurant every time we are in Napa valley. Extremely friendly staff, well priced and delicious food -not to mention great cocktails. I had the halibut and my husband had steak frites and both were amazing! We started with the peach appetizer and had a delicious panna cotta for dessert. Our favorite spot in Calistoga!"

"This was an extremely underwhelming experience. The ambiance was cute, but they stuck us in a corner on the patio that was a bit crunched for space and where the heat lamp was out. The baguette was not warm and was not at all notable - unlike the breads we had at nearby restaurants Lovina and Sam’s. The olives were too salty, the burger over cooked, and the fries boring. The service was unremarkable and their drink menu had no mocktails - when we asked for one they offered lemonade. My friend’s lamb and potatoes were super bland. I don’t think any of the food here would be offensive, but nothing at all that we tried was remotely exciting. I think if you’re going to have a menu full of classics, they need to be cooked to perfection. And this just didn’t hit the mark."

"Fastest service ever! We were in and out in 50 mins and we did not feel rushed at all! We had reservations but arrived about half hour early and they seated us right away. After ordering our food, we had just about made trips to the bathroom before the food showed up! We ordered the fried chicken and waffles, prosciutto Benedict, avocado toast and the Evangeline burger. Everything was really good! I would've liked the avocado toast to be a little bigger or come with a side to be more filling. The rye bread it came on was a little bit sweet and matched the greens, avocado and the egg. The egg comes runny Benedict style so if you don't like that, please tell your server to switch it. I should've but I had it any way! The chicken was crispy and came with gravy to accompany. The prosciutto Benedict was very good with the exception of quite a lot of kale which my friend doesn't like a lot. The burger was delicious but definitely the biggest of the plates. The fries that came with it were delicious, particularly with the rosemary and thyme. We also got the grapefruit mimosas which were well-made. All in all, a beautiful day to have brunch and we really liked our food. And of course, the service!"
