    Not worth the hype for food. The burger was just empty calories... the meat had no flavor. The bun was too strong...almost like a wheat bun. The flavorings added nothing. I love a messy burger and this was just mess for no reason. If you're in the bay area, go to 310 burger in Albany... they make the best messy style burger anywhere. Plus the duck fries... no added value as they tasted like regular fries. The risotto itself had no flavor, but the added shrimp was perfectly cooked. The mushroom soup was stellar. The desserts average. All in all it was just food. Nothing special.

    Another exceptionally great experience with Goose & Gander. From first greeting and seating us to the attentive but not rushed service, to the fantastic food and drink, it’s all there. One in our party said his filet mignon was the best he’s ever had. And he knows from many other spots in many different places. I am ready to return already.

    Wonderful service - everyone from the bartender, the server, and the busser. Cocktails are great. Wine list is great with some affordable selections. Food was just okay.

    We are continuing to include G &G among our favorite go-to restaurants. Special dietary restrictions are easily accommodated. They make everyone feel special. The hamburger is the best in Napa. Everything is on point, even down to the salads. 10 out of 10
