About this restaurant

Charming
Great for outdoor dining
Good for special occasions

Evangeline is the casual bistro for which Napa Valley has been waiting: a destination with garden patio dining and world-class food, drink, and service.

Classic bistro items such as raw oysters, croque madame, smoked salmon, and steak frites--each of them in the most flavorful form you've ever seen or tasted. Daily specials like shrimp etouffee, gumbo ya-ya, and fried chicken offer glimpses into the Chef's French and Creole repertoire.

An extensive array of wines by the glass is anchored by our draft wine system, which serves perfect pours on exclusive wines seldom offered except by the bottle. Our local beers and liquors will get your toe tapping at the comfortable, chic bar.

The jewel of Evangeline is the trellised outdoor patio, with heaters and fans for outdoor dining in all but the most forbidding weather. Dappled sunlight and lively music make it a Napa Valley idyll worth the drive up-valley. Free parking abounds across the street.

What a charming venue in downtown Calistoga. The courtyard patio makes you feel like you are in a quieter version of New Orleans. The service was excellent, and the food was outstanding. I had the risotto made with fresh green peas, and asparagus that was delicious. My sister had the shrimp étouffée and found it to be excellent. The inside of the restaurant is also quite charming. Limited seating indoors, but quite cozy with character. I’ve been visiting my sister who lives in Saint Helena for the past two weeks and this was one of the very best dinners that we’ve had. Highly recommend.

Everything was great but the Bouillabaisse price was too high given the portion. I’ve had double the size of that portion and almost half the price elsewhere.
