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.

The customer service was excellent. I didn’t sit down and order, I ordered mine to go. I ordered the salmon. The crispy top on the salmon was delicious and the salmon was not overcooked or dry. The sauce that came with the salmon set it off! The crispy Brussel sprouts were also a nice side dish to compliment the salmon (the Brussel sprouts were enough to share with two people). The salmon itself comes with a salad– it was very delicious.

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!

Wow! This was such an excellent experience! Some of the best food we’ve had in Napa in the month we’ve been here. We had the shrimp etouffee and braised lamb, which was better than the iterations of those dishes we had in New Orleans itself. It was a very cozy patio, which I bet would be fantastic for brunch.

We loved absolutely everything at this restaurant. The background music was a rare treat. The menu was varied, healthy and delicious. The service was bilingual and wonderful and the atmosphere was perfect. We chose to sit outside which gave fresh air but the truly effective heaters kept us very comfortable on a damp, cool evening. My daughter is a fussy eater. She even loved it. I was recovering from jet lag and still loved it. My husband Loved it. Wish I could go back for lunch today before we leave the area.

This experience was extremely disappointing. We waited for 1 hour and 15 minutes for our appetizer. The so-called “warm towels” were given to us 30 minutes prior to the arrival of our food. The main course was of such poor quality that we had to send it back; it was practically inedible. Additionally, almost half of the items listed on the online menu were unavailable, even though the establishment claims to offer French cuisine.

My first experience in a creole restaurant, I ended up feeling that I should have asked for some recommendations to have a more authentic experience. Generally, we had a great experience in the patio for dinner. The weather was brilliant. The waiter was very nice and attentious. My cocktail incognito felt amazing with some passion fruit. We had a great mix of flavours with our melon starter. I had a steak but asked for gratin potato instead of fries, which was really tasteful, the fish was also on point. In the end, I had an apple crisp which I thought that I was not going to finish but ended up finishing it as it was quite nice.

Very nice outdoor seating. We went late for lunch but made in before the kitchen closed.
