Second time here. Truly outstanding tapas. Drove all the way from the SFO area to have lunch here on a day in Napa. Worth the extra hour of driving. Best tapas we’ve had outside Spain and Portugal (and probably better).

Increasing options on the menu for those interested in avoiding meat. The Spoonbar soups are wonderful. Recommended are cauliflower, the leek and potato, and the newest roasted butternut squash with pepitas. The roasted delicata squash is also excellent, both rich and filling. We had it as a first course along with an order of French fries.

Our first time to Starbelly. The limited menu has a variety to select from for your dining out. Our favorite was sharing the house made chicken pate for two. Its would be a bit much for one person. 1) grilled ale bavette steak "excellent" 2) fresh ground angus beef burger "very good" As locals, it will be worth a second visit.

About the restaurant
After many discussions and efforts to secure the future of our beloved restaurant, it is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of The Palms.
We have engaged in extensive negotiations with our landlord in an attempt to renew our lease. These discussions have been exhaustive and have ultimately left us with no other viable option but to close our doors.
We want to express our deepest gratitude to our dedicated staff, whose hard work and commitment have been the backbone of our restaurant. We also want to thank our loyal customers, without whom this venture would not have been possible.
The Palms has been a part of our community for many years, and we are incredibly grateful for the loyalty and patronage we have received from all of you. Your enthusiasm, your smiles, and your love for our food and service have been a constant source of inspiration for our entire team.
Your support has been invaluable, and we will always cherish the memories of the moments we have shared.
