    We ate outside and the weather and ambiance were more than outstanding. Service was great and the food was good. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and I expect if we ordered a full entree I would have rated the food very good instead of good. Overall a wonderful experience.

    Beautiful, setting, wonderful food and service.  Rather loud, classic rock music upstairs and downstairs which made it less, enjoyable for a nice dining room…I ate rather quickly just to get away from the noise.

    We had dinner at Goose and Gander based on recommendations from one of our wine tastings. They were spot on. The sticky pigs ears were amazing. The G&g burger was perfection and the ribeye was done superbly. The service was super friendly and ensured we had everything we needed and more.

    I would say after the 10-15 minute wait to get to speak to a waiter it improved. Mushroom soup was yummy, the caesar salad also good. I had the chicken dish which was good. The only thing that I would say could have been better was the dessert. I had the mousse dessert, but didn't realize came with a cake layer. It doesn't say that there is a cake layer on the menu.

    We were celebrating a 40th birthday at the restaurant. Nice touch to have the menu for our table with her name and "happy 40th birthday" on it as a keepsake. Food was excellent as was the service. The best mushroom soup I have ever had, I get it every time I eat here. Only small issue was the lighting, it was so dark in the booth it was hard to read the menu and get good pictures.

    Amazing restaurant in St Helena. We had a nice table outside and our waiter Robertwas very attentive. The atmosphere is really nice. Our food as well as the wine was outstanding. The have a large wine list and also a large list of whiskeys as a digestif. We will clearly come back again on our next Napa Valley trip

    A very enjoyable meal - highly recommended. We were seated in the outdoor patio area and shared three different dishes - grilled cauliflower, Napa wedge salad, and the G&G hamburger. All were fantastic, but the burger was unbelievable. The mixed drinks are diverse and wonderfully presented. Just a great meal and experience.

    We visited the Napa/Sonoma area for 4 days and this was for certain the best meal we had. We started with the octopus appetizer and bone marrow. Both of which were delicious. My filet literally melted in my mouth, and my husband's puttanesca sauce was perfect. We ended our meal with waiter suggestion of hummingbird cake. The drink menu was also extensive and impressive. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.
