    As always the food and the service are just outstanding! Watching Glenda walking around and interfacing with her team as well as her guests provides you with the understanding as to how they attain this consistent quality!

    One of our favorite places in Memphis. It was a birthday dinner for my wife and she asked for a deviation to the Halibut. They did and it was very good. Thank you

    One of the best experiences we have had in a while! They created a personalized menu with my husband’s name on it for his birthday. The staff was so nice and warm. The food was wonderful. Loved the scallops. Everything was great! Highly recommend.

    Hubby and I went for my birthday! From the moment we walked in everyone was so kind like they were really glad we came. They printed my name on the menu as well. We ordered the blackened shrimp dumplings as appetizer, and it was delicious. Also, had the wedge salad and broccoli soup which was great. Main entrees were the sea bass and the beef tenderloin meatloaf dish that was one of the specials that day. The portion size was huge, and I had to bring half of it home as I was full from the other dishes. We drank a pomegranate margarita and the pecan old fashioned and both were very good. Our server, Nick, was excellent and very well versed on the menu selections. Other staff made sure our glasses of water were never empty. There was a nice size crowd for mid week but our food was served very timely. The owner came over to check on us which I thought was so cool! The ambience is very intimate but you feel free to have conversation without disrupting anybody else's dinner. We will definitely return in the future and I highly recommend. Pricing is along the lines of most fine dining establishments. We spent a little less than $200 including 20% tip but we had drinks, appetizer, soup, salad and entree. The quality of all was great and you won't leave disappointed!

    Napa is my new favorite restaurant in Memphis. The food is incredible. Honestly, their selection is upscale and every dish is not only delicious, but the presentation on the plates are beautiful. Glenda, the owner, is hands on - and her staff is impeccably trained. This is a big restaurant, it they have a lot of rooms that enable you to have peace and quiet. Napa is #1 in Memphis. It is not on the tourist areas - so it may not pop up on various internet lists. If you line eating where the locals eat - this is it in Memphis.
