The food here is absolutely amazing. One of the best lamb shanks I’ve even had. Top quality ingredients, everything is very fresh and the flavors are inimitable! Very fun and lively place, a little bit hectic on weekends. The staff super helpful and very accommodating. Breana, Brooke and Jose went out of their way to make our night perfect and memorable.

UPDATE 2: The server Angel and Dylan are great in comparison to what we’ve experienced up to this point. We just got unlucky because the food is almost always great and it’s so convenient.

We spent a couple of days in Calistoga and had dinner here on our second night. We walked since our hotel was just across the street. Very relaxed vibe. The server was attentive and gave us good recommendations. Really enjoyed the octopus we got as a starter. Then we got the salmon and grilled pork chop. Generous portions. Would like to try their brunch next time.

Nice place to dine in the northern Napa Valley. The atmosphere was relaxed and seating comfortable. The service was excellent and the wait staff were attentive. The food was decent but not spectacular, and rather pricy for what you received. The lamb was a little bland, the NY strip steak somewhat better. Still, a good time was had by all…

The food was very good. I can recommend the omelette and scramble and waffle. Service issue was only that two out of three of us got their dishes well ahead of the third so there was lots of watching each other eat. They also have funny fan-like contraptions on the outdoor tables to keep the flies away!

Breakfast here (served until 10:30 on week days) was a leisurely pleasure. The patio is beautiful and service was attentive. The coffee was reasonably good, and the bagel with lox was a beautiful spread with plenty of salmon. Was the bagel NY quality? No, but you’re in Calistoga! My only other quips are that the capers were huge which made them quite a mouthful of salt, and that they didn’t ask our table if we have any allergies.

We picked Sam’s for dinner since it was right there at the Indian Springs Calistoga. After a nice mud bath experience, we didn’t want to drive anywhere so it was super convenient. We were served by the sweetest waitress and we just felt so taken cared of! Food was great. My husband did the pasta of the day which he demolished. I had the king salmon which was fork tender and super buttery. We also did the octopus which was a humongous portion and also delicious! For dessert, we shared a salted caramel gelato and oh my God. That woke me up from my wine buzz. It was just so good that my husband and I were fighting over it!! The only issue I can see some customers struggling with was how hot it was. Luckily we came for dinner so it did get cooler. We recommend sitting outside because it can get stuffy inside. Parking was easy to find as well. Highly recommend especially if you’re staying at the Indian Springs Calistoga hotel.

Sam’s is a nice restaurant with great food. My mother and I both agreed the octopus was the best we’ve had stateside. The Ora king salmon was delicious, but a very small portion. Cauliflower steak was also great. The service was not on par with food. We would return.

Great decor, great atmosphere, fantastic food. I ordered the pizza, which was quite large in portion. My wife got the egg in the hole, and that one was absolutely amazing. The truffle flavor was awesome.
