About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Charming

Napa Valley Bistro was opened in 2013 by chefs Bernardo Ayala and Ernesto Martinez, (also co-owner of Market in St. Helena). Their friendship and working relationship, which has lasted over 20 years was so successful, they decided to pool their resources and stake a claim in downtown Napa's expanding culinary scene. Their aim was to create their own version of classic world cuisine in a comfortable space where family and community could gather for any occasion. The twist is evident in the menus, which sample fare from around the globe. Guests can choose from traditionally prepared Mexican Empanadas or timeless American favorites like the Lamb Burger and St. Louis Ribs. Other options include Vegetarian Spring Rolls, Chinese Chicken Salad and Seasonal Risotto. Our Wine & Beer List includes local wines leaning toward small producers & craft brews.

Napa Valley Bistro is our spot for delicious food in a friendly and comfortable setting. We have been going here for years, and we can always have a lovely dinner. We both had the Ahi Tuna this time, and it was great with the slaw alongside and the crispy wonton crackers.

Absolute Gem. The food was outstanding, you could taste the passion in the recipes, and technique on the plate. Creative use of veggies, perfectly cooked scallops, and short rib, delicious home made sauces for everything. Then the dessert was truly special, a Tres Leches Natila, it was a layered custard with fresh made churro. Perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Jade was our server she was very sweet and attentive and helped us enjoy our entire evening!

Thank you David for the kind words! Jade is the daughter of the owner. We are very much a family business that uses the best, freshest ingredients that are all made from scratch in our tiny kitchen!

Fries were so so. Cocktail was great. Erika is an awesome server. Noise level was low and not a bad thing. Easy to hold a conversation.
