Napa Valley Grille

What I enjoy about the Napa Valley is that you can park inside and stay out of the cold for one dollar. The best thing about my visits is the service from the staff. From the moment you walk in the hostess greets you with a great smile and it is as if she has known your for forever. When you frequent the NAPA on a regular basis she greets you by name. That is something that is really special to me. The staff in general will do anyting to make your visit rememberable. I can remember once that our food came out and the chef came out right along with it. That does not happen very often at any other establishment that I dine at. I am over impressed with the restaurant as a whole. If you are seeking a pampered atmosphere this is the place to go. I plan on holding my next event at the Napa Valley Grill. Pros: The people really go out of their way to serve you. Cons: Don't go here if you don't enjoy being pampered. more

Familiar with this upscale chain from my days in Jersey (Paramus Park). Wasn't dissapointed with the Providence ""franchise"". Great appetizers, had the pate which was awesome. Entrees were limited, pricey and in some cases, a la carte. $30 for filet mignon, naked. Although the $5 grilled spinach with dried tomatoes and pine nuts had to be the best greens I've ever had. Dessert was incredible too, spice cake with pumpkin ice cream and other treats. Where else can you get food like this while dressed as a white-trash mall rat. Love this place as you can go ultra-casual and enjoy higher-end dining. Wish some diners could shut their kids up. My little darling was quiet as a churchmouse, or course. Pros: Fare, Casual, Service more

Atmosphere is elegant and wait staff is helpful, friendly and ill informed. Waited 30 minutes to be seated after our reservation time. Coarse bread was served with a very light, tasteless olive oil (canola perhaps?). Appetizer of mussels was half overcooked, half under cooked (2 different preparations?). Calamari was tasty but small. Ordered special and OTM pasta dishes. Both had great presentation. Taste was unpalatable. Do they even taste their own food? Priced as expected for atmosphere. Stay for the drinks, go somewhere else for a good meal. Pros: Atmosphere, Bar Cons: Poor Food more
