    As always every aspect was well done…food, service and dining experience. We chose one of the two private rooms prior to our arrival because the noise level, to us, can sometimes be overwhelming. That’s a small gripe compared to everything else at this gem.

    Our best ever dining experience in almost 40 years in Memphis. The food was of such outstanding quality and not the usual local judgement of good based upon quantity. The music provided by Dr. Alphonso Sanders was sublime and made the evening more memorable for us and our friends.

    Dining at Napa is a complete dining experience. The ambience, decor, the welcome as you walk in make you feel so comfortable. Just walking up to the door is inviting because of the pleasant outdoor patio. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. The stirred gin martini was perfect!

    A very nice local restaurant. Tables are very close and at times it feels like you are eating with strangers. All enjoyed our entries, one dish, the scallops was a very small serving for a large price.

She has a VERY BRIGHT future and with a GIFT that should be acknowledged!!! She made us feel very welcomed and like celebrities! We plan on coming back for sure! It was a magical night, thank to Gary as well and Lori :)
