    Best server we’ve ever had. Javier ( I think this is the wrong name, but he was very knowledgeable, been there 6 years, explained everything with his pen, and was very thoughtful.)

    We had the field chopped, filet mignon, and the fish dish. Sides were mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts. The bread is outstanding and comes out hot. Everything we had was delicious. The new manager has a great personality. He offered us bubbly to celebrate our anniversary and my son‘s engagement. Also a complementary dessert. One of our favorite spots in the Napa Valley! Also, the ambience is so beautiful whether you’re dine inside or out.
