Downtown Napa dinner reco

bob_poirier · January 22, 2018, 8:47pm

Going to be in Napa in March and looking for dinner recommendation for one night in downtown Napa.

Marc_Hauser · January 22, 2018, 8:50pm

Any guidelines on price and type?

William_Segui · January 22, 2018, 9:08pm

Lots of great options downtown – Miminashi, Morimoto, Torc, Cole’s, Charlie Palmer (haven’t eaten, but a nice place), etc

Brian_S_t_o_t_t_e_r · January 22, 2018, 9:10pm

Can vouch for Morimoto

lleichtman · January 22, 2018, 9:15pm

Another vote for Morimoto.

bob_poirier · January 22, 2018, 9:31pm

No price restriction or type

Joe_Raymond · January 22, 2018, 9:39pm

Torc was disappointing when we went. Food was decent but not for the prices. Just one person’s opinion but just so you are aware

T_Welch · January 22, 2018, 9:59pm

I’ve heard good things about Oenotri.

Marc_Hauser · January 22, 2018, 10:14pm

Got it.

Celadon and Angele are both excellent, IMHO. Morimoto is pricey for sushi (though not Kenzo expensive), but also excellent, and the space is cool. I’ve been hearing really good things about Charlie Palmer Steakhouse, but haven’t been myself, and Cole’s is also great for meats. Don’t be shy about BYOB.

For a drink/bottle before or after, try Compline, hidden back next to the Archer Hotel. Or, if you like sherry and pintxos for a snack, La Taberna.

We had an excellent meal at Ad Hoc, come hungry.

There are a TON of Napa threads in Travel

Nick’s Roast Beef…

Oh wait…
Oenotri, Miminashi, Angele and drinks at Cadet after

T_Welch · January 22, 2018, 10:24pm

Ad Hoc is in Yountville, not downtown Napa.

bob_poirier · January 22, 2018, 10:35pm

Thanks All,

bob_poirier · January 22, 2018, 10:37pm

Trying to limit it to specifically downtown Napa. I did search there first, but seemed like a lot of work and I’m lazy

Joe_Raymond · January 22, 2018, 11:07pm

If you are wanting some decent cocktails there is a hotel Andaz. The bar on the second floor is pretty good and outdoor which is nice and relaxing. Good vibes

Andrew_Demaree · January 23, 2018, 1:07am

We’ve had terrific meals at Oenotri and Cole’s on previous visits to Napa.

Wherever you go, please report back!

Brian_Ojalvo · January 23, 2018, 3:09am

Miminashi

Randy_Bowman · January 23, 2018, 3:26am

Full blown meals with no fluff or foo foo, and best for the price:
Cole’s Chop House https://www.coleschophouse.com/
Ristorante Allegria http://www.ristoranteallegria.com/
Don Perico’s http://www.donpericos.com/

All three can be a bit noisy but their food is hard to beat unless you prefer French Laundry type food and pricing.

Charlie Palmer’s is unique and very good but pricey. The first clue is no menu on their website. You get the sticker shock after you are seated.

in & out. only place in the county where the fries aren’t frozen.
