Diner Reviews

"I love Farmstead. The food fresh, flavorful, and prepared perfectly. The menu changes seasonally so there is always something new. They grow their own produce at the farm. The service is amazing. And, the ambiance is perfectly Napa."

"I've been to Farmstead 3 times and have not been disappointed with any of them. Being from Washington State, I've only come down twice so I've ordered the ribs each time. I dream of them in between visits. This time I swapped potato salad for the cole slaw since the cole slaw just doesn't do it for me. Potato salad didn't look that great on the plate, but tasted fantastic. I was a little disappointed this time in the cookie selection. Didn't seem like they were as good as my last visit. Dry and not full of flavor like before. I still give them a 5 for fast and friendly service."

"Like too many places in 'wine country' another restaurant better for lunch than dinner. Two in our party liked their salmon. Other two had the hamburger. Strange 'sauce' on the burger (dijon please but they don't have it) House ketchup -- weird taste. Wish some of these chefs would stick to the tried and true basics instead of getting too 'creative' Again... go for lunch - sit outside. But for dinner, entree execution doesn't justify the price P.S. the corkage policy is very nice especially since what's on their wine list is overpriced for this type of restaurant"

"I have eaten in many great restaurants including some fabulous ones located there in Napa Valley- but Wow this food was fantastic!"

"We have been coming to farmstead every year since they opened and it truly gets better each time! This time around might have been our best so far. Started out a little questionably as our waiter failed to tell us about the specials although we learned about them from the table next to us. Every course outdid itself! Do not miss the kale salad and the grilled artichokes to start. The wild salmon entree and smoked ribs were hard to beat! Cocktails at the out side bar make the visit worth it just for the ambience and great music. Do not miss Farmstead - you will not be disappointed!"

"Went on a recommendation from a local winery. Fantastic atmosphere, food and service. Can't wait to go back someday."
Dined on 7/6/2014
"Great location with great interior decoration. Beautiful terrace and outstanding high quality products. Price level high for mostly simple dishes but that's probably because of the location in the wine area. Food was very tasty but very rich and heavy. It is a huge place we haven't expected that. Fully booked and crowded and way too cold inside because of the aircondition. So you didn't feel very comfy for having dinner there."
Dined on 7/1/2014
"They sat our party of four outside in a "booth" surrounded by esplanaded apple trees - very unique and pleasant. You could make a meal from the starters, they were all super fresh and delicious. Great value too."
Dined on 7/5/2014
"Interesting and delicious menu, fine craft beers and cocktails. Our party of 4 had patio dining for lunch and we enjoyed it completely! Fast and friendly service, but you never felt rushed. Our server made some excellent recommendations and was always attentive. Some say it is loud inside and that the vastness "echos", but we didn't notice it waiting for our table and I liked the outside dining anyway. The lovely gardens and old fashioned general store are reminiscent of a tranquil country farm... you don't even realize there is a major road just yards away. When in the Napa Valley, stop by!"

"This is a great restaurant. It is very casual and laid back while having a high energy atmosphere. Food was really good also. The table split the meatballs, which were really good, lots of flavor. I had the lamb chop special which was fantastic, wife had the pork chop which was also really good. They ran out of the St. Louis Ribs which looked really good. Food has a Southern flare, not too elaborate presentation but executed really well. Can't wait to go back."
Dined on 6/20/2014
"The food is great; Service is wonderful. Love strolling through the vegetable garden and doing some wine tasting afterwards. They also have olive oil and a great cabernet sauvignon wine vinegar that we bought. Used it to make salad dressing."
Dined on 7/3/2014
"My wife had the double lamb chop sauce was good but very little meat. I had the ribs large portion but mostly bone and fat What little meat was very tough. BBQ sauce was very tasty. the cole slaw had no flavor whatsoever. Will not go back. Too many good restaurants in our area to be served below par food."
Dined on 7/4/2014
"The food was delicious. Lots of great options-we had a hard time choosing from the menu!"
Dined on 6/21/2014
"Great food. Fantastic service. One of the teens felt the gnocchi was tough and it was removed from the bill with no questions asked other than what can we do to make this right for you? My trout was excellent. The pork chop perfect. Unfortunately they'd sold out of the ribs which we know from previous visits are killer good. The dessert we chose was the sundae - omg delicious. We brought a bottle of wine from our wine tasting earlier in the day and paid the minimal corkage that they give to a charitable organization. Love that!"

"We loved the fresh flavorful taste! And the atmosphere was awesome."

"Amazing overall experience! Farmstead was recommended by a friend based on the cheddar biscuits and it over delivered across the board. The ambiance was fantastic, food was incredible and the staff was knowledgable and friendly. Cade winery told us the burger was the best in town and it absolutely was. The slow-roasted pulled pork sandwich with potato salad was beyond belief. We were there for my birthday lunch and it was the perfect spot! Great vibe and energy but not too loud. The decor was great and the restrooms were really clean. Would have loved to have sat outside but it was 100 degrees! We're planning to visit again in the Fall. I highly recommend Farmstead to anyone who visits the area."
Dined on 6/30/2014
"Farmstead is one of those restaurants that no matter what you order you know it will be good. The Tuesday fried chicken is a must try, ribs are fantastic. The ham & cheese bisquits, caramelized beet salad, the gnocchi with beef ragu....you won't be disappointed!"
Dined on 6/29/2014
"Great place to stop on the way to hot springs. The service, food presentation and preparation are excellent. We like their outdoor tables, feel comfortable there even in our outdoor cloths."
Dined on 6/29/2014
"Food was fine but not great. Restaurant is very cool inside. It's pretty casual and very country chic. Mac n chz is delish Ribs over cooked and dry Pork pot bland and fatty Oysters good. Sundae was average. Was told it had vanilla ice cream but didn't. Very cool corkage program that was a $5 donation to a local charity"

"We always make a reservation at Farmstead for a special occasion. The food and service were outstanding. I had the leg of lamb special and my husband had the Heritage pork chop; both were excellent. Our server was informative and attentive. As always we had a wonderful time and will return soon for our next special occasion or just because. We highly recommend dining outside on the patio."
Dined on 6/29/2014
"The food is always consistent, but it is the great wait staff that make the experience ... They are friendly, attentive and thoughtful."

"Farmstead has become one of our go to places for lunch when visiting Napa. Love the food, atmosphere and service."
Dined on 6/27/2014
"This was only my second time at Farmstead, but the food was so good the first time I dreamed of coming back! Since it was later in the afternoon we decided to stick with just appetizers. You have to have the ham sandwiches (you will dream of them). We also had the steak tartar, artichokes and meatballs. They were all equally delicious. I am already looking forward to my next trip!"
Dined on 6/27/2014
"Sorry Mustard's, there's a new kid in town! Service was so amazing. Every request we had was met will a smile and executed to perfection. Smoked ribs are very tasty, very meaty and come with a apple coleslaw. My friend's salmon was huge on a bed of home grown veggies, very good. Don't miss the cheddar bread with honey butter. Causal dining atmosphere with a great setting for outdoor wedding parties. Good outdoor bar as you enter. Coming back soon."
Dined on 6/21/2014
"The food was wonderful, especially the meat balls. It was really nice dinning outdoors, it was almost like we had a private alcove. The band at the bar was playing some great music (although the second band was pretty awful). The service was pleasant but first brought out the wrong wine, then the right wine but no glasses and finally dinner, but no forks. It may have gotten a 5 had the service been a little better and the second lead singer been a lot better!"
Dined on 6/27/2014
"an inviting relaxed farm like setting in what previously had been a nursery, and now having a garden, orchard, and lawns surrounding the barn like interior seating. The menu has tempting delicious combinations - and all are rather ample in size. The salads have excellent selections including a kale salad, also a peach selection, and the entrees have impressive combinations - like salmon with sweetcorn, zucchini,string beans vegetables and they have a nice selection of desserts - we had a special of fresh peach pie (from their trees) and peach ice cream - the pie was big enough for at least 3 persons. Excellent attentive service and price is moderate."

"In this trip to San Francisco I had some Farm to Table dinners and by far this one was the best I had. Every dish we order were great. We had the salad of garden greens, some biscuits and the wild salmon, everything was fantastic and portions are enough for two."
Dined on 6/16/2014
"Thursday's fried chicken is a weekly must. My only criticism is that they may be too generous with the portions. Beautiful, spacious restaurant with a great bar. The menu is interesting and we've always be very pleased with the food. LMR is one of our best restaurants here in St. Helena."
Dined on 6/24/2014
"Try the Kale Salad! To die for!!!!!!!!!! Also the Salmon is fantastic and their drinks are superb!"
Dined on 6/18/2014
"We've dined here on a number of occasions and felt comfortable dropping in for a quick lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The food was good (Salmon rillette, chilli, risotto) - and the service tried really hard to minimize the kitchen back-up - but on an uncrowded afternoon we saw at least 6 different servers and it took 2hrs+ to get through a single course lunch - they have done better in the past."
Dined on 6/22/2014
"Very reasonably priced considering the area and quality of the food. Food is first rate, interesting and there is something to please everyone. Can't wait for the opportunity to go again. I really appreciate that the corkage free is so reasonable. Thanks for that! Just makes the whike wine country experience so much more fun. One can choose a bottle from their tasting experience. First rate operation"
Dined on 6/20/2014
"My experience at Farmstead was overall excellent. The food was absolutely delicious. The server was knowledgeable and patient with our requests. I recommend going slightly before lunch as it was packed when we left. Our reservation was at 11:45 a.m."
Dined on 6/21/2014
"Went to Brunch and just OK. The place was packed but they had our table ready on time for our reservation. As for the food it was good but not a "do over" for Napa. To may great places in Napa to go for a great meal. Not a bad place just OK."
Dined on 6/15/2014
"New Napa Valley staple for me. Sat outside and enjoyed the Napa/Ranch style setting. Food was solid; you can taste the quality ingredients. Service was friendly but not refined; but that's not what you go to these kind of places for. Will definitely be back."
Dined on 6/16/2014
"We're not regulars in this area, so cannot compare to its peers, but we chose it due to the great reviews here (4+ stars) and the rating of $$. Turns out the cost is higher than that and the food, while very nice, is really more like 3-4 stars. We had the specials of the day (fillet and brisket) and while the fillet was very good, the brisket was dry and bland. Lovely setting with a great outdoor area, but quite noisy inside. Service was fine, no problems. Wine list is limited because they promote their own brands, but that's not really a big disadvantage."
Dined on 6/15/2014
"An excellent menu with professional and attentive service. We had a number of appetizers, intending to move on to an entree, but we had no need to -- the food was tasty and fresh with good portions. The grilled peaches with ham were excellent, as were the biscuits. I am on a personal quest to find the best beet salad on the West Coast, and theirs just went to the top of the list!"
Dined on 6/15/2014
"Food was all good and very natural and fresh. Service was good and staff was warm and friendly. Highly reccomended!"
Dined on 6/15/2014
"Enjoyed a great Father's Day lunch here: best BBQ'ed ribs ever; luscious local oysters with mignonette; beef tartare that was perfect; lamb sliders tasty, too. Service was friendly and attentive, and the place is always busy and doing something new -- like their new outdoor concert/BBQ, which we plan to attend next time."
Dined on 6/15/2014
"This restaurant has an exquisite menu offering. The 2 year aged pork was perfect with the biscuits and pepper jelly. Kelly out waitress did an outstanding job and was very knowledgable."
Dined on 6/11/2014
"The food was good, we both had fish. The veggies were great but too much oil. Salad was also very good. Very busy place, its not the sort of place you sit for a couple of hours and slowly eat and talk. The noise level is there and the atmosphere is very casual. The wait staff are very prompt and clearly the idea is to turn over tables quickly. But the fish was really very very good."
