This small restaurant is full of big flavor and big service. The entire staff was so friendly above and beyond normal service. Graff was our server who never left us wanting for anything. Tortilla soup, butternut risotto balls, and the tacos were amazing. Wine list is full and robust.

The Tuna Tartare was just delicious.
Young girls at the service and they were very friendly.
Very quick service.
Also nice for an aperitif of a couple of cocktails.

We had dinner there with my family during thanksgiving week end.
First off, the food was great. Inventive, flavourfull, and just enough choices so that you don't spend 20 min riding the menus 5 times.
With that, the wines are just great.
Overall, the food and wine are priced just right.
Everybody including the kids loved it

I led our group here after reading about it on tripadvisor. The menu was small and I was afraid it may be too different for our group. But, everyone loved it. Some got pumpkin sweet potato soup and said it was wonderful. I got Moroccan chicken and it was great. Fettuccine in a light lemon sauce also good. Someone in our group wanted to go back again, but when we tried it was closed (Sunday evening).

Good dinner, but overpriced in my opinion for the quality. Our total bill with tip (20%) came to $90 for two of us and we split an Ostrich burger, tacos from the small plate section of the menu, and dessert. Again both items were good and our waitress was fun and personable. Would I go back? Probably not. Plenty of other choices in Napa to choose from.
