    My companion and I decided to go for dinner last minute. We needed to talk so they put us in a special room. It was great! And the food was delicious as usual. And I love that they make gf bread for me and always take care of my gluten issues as I am celiac. I highly recommend the stuffed poblano peppers! YUM!

    One of best meals we have had in a long time. For some reason we forget that Napa is simply that good. The specials we had - vegetable beef soup and the meatloaf - were phenomenal!

    Every staff member we encountered was personable and focused on making our experience the best it could be. The food is always great at Napa. Get the Crab Cakes, or the Bronzed Yellowfin Tuna (Chef's kiss). Dessert, if you choose, is a pleasant experience as well. Ask for Jan's room!
