We kinda just walked up on this place and had a couple drinks at the bar. The bartender that served us was friendly and made us laugh a few times. Would enjoy going back to try their food. The atmosphere was super cool, it’s right next to the river and there’s heaters blowing warm air so it was a very chill vibe.

I love what they have done with the new space to the side and by the river. I like the atmosphere and the vibe of a casual riverfront place.
Food was pretty good. It great, but acceptable for a place like this. Menu selections are appropriate. Prices are normal.
Went for brunch and see these issues
1) Not enough staff. Table was not clean when we sat down. The few people working tables are running fast but are way behind. Asked for a menu twice, for coffee 3 times. Food was served by a helper and almost feel he threw it at us. Big need to elevate service
2) DJ’s needs to shut down for 3-4 days and do a deep scrub cleaning, painting etc. Looks very run down inside. Bathrooms are yuk.
Big welcome for downtown Napa. Keep working on elevating things.

My wife and I stopped in for a bite prior to a show at the Uptown theater. We were promptly seated at a table outside in the bar area. After being seated we waited for the waitress to come and get our drink order. After sitting there watching her walk right by us multiple times without acknowledging our presence I finally called her over. She was very brusque but took our order of one beer and a couple dinners. She brought the beer, and basically just put it at the end of the table not saying a word and no eye contact. That was the last we saw of her. It was like she was pissed off at something or us, I don’t know. The bar tender could see we were not happy with the level of service after about 25 to 30 minutes of no service, and came over to chat and that’s when our meals came out. Wife had fish and chips and I had the steak wedge salad. I assumed from the title there was steak in the salad but my bad for not reading the description closer. Wife’s Cole slaw was warm and not appetizing but the fish and chips were ok. Overall not a very good dining experience.

We were looking for a good spot to have a conventional American breakfast, bacon, eggs, hash browns, toast. The other spots in Napa were a little fancy with their modern takes on a classic. I just wanted the classic ;). It was delicious, service was prompt and friendly, food was delicious. Great view!

Excellent Customer Service!! Our breakfast was so delish! We had the Yummy crisp fried chicken/waffles and corned beef hash and eggs! Loved the patio and dog friendly vibe! Be back to try more items on the menu.

An unassuming dive bar favored by the locals, with an interesting sports bar/old time saloon thing going. Doesn’t look like much on the outside, compared to its glitzy neighbors. But the food is great! We had the chicken skewers and the beet salad with grilled salmon, and both were finger-licking good!

Got there at happy hour. Hubby enjoyed the House Taster Set. Tried the Mexican Corn Riblets, which were tasty… not sure worth $7.95. He lived the High Five Virtue and the beer fries that came with them were yummy! I enjoyed the Spicy Cajun Penne Pasta very much and recommend!

We stopped by Downtown Joe’s for a few drinks and to catch the primetime NFL game. While the atmosphere was lively, the first server/bartender who came by us gave a bit of a cold reception. She seemed distant, didn’t smile, or speak at all during her initial visits to drop off menus and plateware. It was still early in the evening, around 8 PM, with plenty of other patrons arriving after us, so it’s not like we were keeping the staff there late into the night.
Thankfully, our experience improved when another welcoming staff member (name on the bill is Wyatt) took over. The drinks and snacks we ordered were solid, and the front bar area had plenty of TVs, making it a good spot to enjoy the game.

It’s always such a wonderful experience here, but on this particular day, it was truly exceptional from the moment my husband and I arrived. Iris was absolutely fantastic, offering warm conversation, effortless service, and excellent wine recommendations. I’m grateful that there are still places that provide a genuine, down-to-earth atmosphere with caring service, delicious food, and a diverse staff that makes everyone feel welcome.
