My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful meal at Bistro Napa. The atmosphere is beautiful , roomy and comfortable . The entire staff from the person that greeted us, seated us,and waited on us included his 2 young helpers were very friendly and attentive. The pace of the evening and dinner was perfect. We started off with a very good Caesar Salad which we shared. The complementary bread basket consisted of 3 varieties of fresh and tasty bread. We shared as entrees lamb chops and blackened shrimp. Both entrees were plentiful fresh and delicious. The shrimps 8 of them were large firm and delicious with some type of wine sauce which was Devine. It was accompanied by delicious micro greens and 3 good side crab raviolis covered with a tasty sauce with peas and small tomatoes. The lamb dish consisted of 4 very large and lean lamb chops the port wine and pomegranate sauce with pistachios was Devine. The vegetables that accompanied it were fresh and delicious. It came with fingerling potatoes or garlic mashed. The fingering were mediocre and I would pass on them. For dessert we had the flourless chocolate torte with berries and whipped cream which was a large portion and one of the best we have ever had. The coffee was of good quality. They also gave complimentary cotton candy which did not fit the fine quality of the meal. Ok if you have young kids with you. The value of the meal was very good only $155 excluding tip. We did not drink but drink prices seemed decent.

Wonderful dining experience here! They really took care of us for our wedding anniversary with a window table with the beautiful view and complimentary dessert. Can’t remember our server’s name but she was super sweet and adorable. The prix fixe option is a great deal and our food was delicious!
