Had a party of 12. Nape Cafe was fantastic. Every dish was perfect and brought to the table in a timely manner. We had ages from 8-90 years old. Every dish was delicious. Not one complaint. We will come back for another family gathering.

Relaxed, pleasant lighting and a cozy ambiance! The food was delicious, well presented and cooked to perfection. Our server was one of their longtime staff and it was clear that the owner valued her contribution to the success of the restaurant. We were unhurried and enjoyed our evening at a leisurely pace.

Napa CafeResponded on March 5, 2023HI Kimberly, Thank you for taking the time to contact us. I sincerely apologize we failed to see your special request to sit in the wine cellar. We have recently created a new system to prevent this from happening again. I hope we get the opportunity to serve you in the future very soon. I would love to offer a champagne toast or appetizer for your next visit to soften the disappointment from your last experience with us. Warmest Regards, Glenda

Garry was absolutely excellent!! 10/10 recommend asking for him, he was so sweet and very attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu. All his recommendations were delicious, I would trust Garry with my life. Everyone was super friendly and came to our table to see if we needed anything. This was the first time my girlfriend and I have been here and we felt so famous and special. Truly such a beautiful night thanks to everyone at this restaurant. Will definitely be coming back. It is super romantic, I recommend for a date night out.

Outstanding food, service and atmosphere. I would highly recommend Napa Cafe. As an added bonus you’re likely to be fortunate enough to meet the owner, Glenda Hastings, who is a pure joy to talk with. Her heart for Memphis and the less fortunate in our city is so big and her spirit shines brightly as you’ll see. The staff is always great and Chef does a masterful job in the kitchen. One of our faves for sure.
