   First time visit. Read reviews prior. They were pretty spot on. First, it’s a great location right in heart of Yountville. A chill vibe, great casual but upscale outdoor seating. You can come as you are and you won’t feel judged. Nice place for lunch or tapas dinner. We had great service, but the food and the drinks were just ok. Nothing about the visit would have you think a renown chef was owner. The chicken croquettes app was bland, seemingly unseasoned with no amazing sauce to make you not sad. The Paia (shrimp/clams/chorizo) could have been amazing but was just good because the far too salted rice dominated. And sadly, the Sangria was very average. No cinnamon or taste of brandy. Just apple slices. No garnish. Nothing distinctive. Was easy to only drink 1. (Normally unheard of) Finally, the oft-mentioned flys were in attendance. And attacked every plate but left us as new occupants’ food arrived. It’s a shame that they have not addressed the flies. Didn’t annoy me so much (because I expected them), but my wife will not go back because of it. Too many other options nearby to endure that. In a nutshell, great menu, can’t lose location, and friendly staff provide a solid base with lots of potential but management (or next owner) needs to get on it and up their game.

   The food was pretty good with even a few really nice moments, but maybe has lost its sparkle — no longer feels like a revelation. The service was comically bad in almost every possible way.

   SUPER SSSSLLLLLLOOOOOOWWWWW service. Actually super slow isn't slow enough. We waited almost an hour for our 6PM reservations to have a drink in our hands. We really love your restaurant, but living in the Napa Valley there are many super stars to choose from.

   Extremely sad; I have been going to Coqueta in SF since they opened up. I am a fan of Michael and his vision for food and entertainment- ambiance. As soon as I knew there was one in Napa, we changed our reservations and went there; unfortunately; it was as if we had gone somewhere where the vision had changed 180 degrees..food was average at best; service was terrible..so very sorry; trying to be constructive because I know Michael is great!! Perhaps that location needs more training????

    Ausgezeichnete spanische Küche auf authentischem, sehr hohen Niveau. Man kann sich die Mahlzeit individuell zusammen stellen. Gute Weinkarte mit einigen guten spanischen Weinen. Preis/Leistungsverhältnis für Yountville Standards ausgezeichnet. Wir waren zweimal dort. Am ersten Abend super Service, am zweiten Abend hat das Essen extrem lange gedauert (90 Minuten für 4 Tapa Gerichte). Unterm Strich sehr empfehlenswert.

    on this night (Sunday), I couldn’t tell if the service was off or if the kitchen was off, but our food order(s) were poorly timed and/or didn’t arrive. According to the menu, the paella takes 25 min. The paella (burnt bottom) arrived before the deviled eggs (very dry) and the lamb albondigas (med rare center). We had to remind the staff about what we ordered. And, the restaurant & kitchen was not packed or busy. It’s not the first time we’ve been disappointed with Chiarello’s service standards and food. We try to come back in every few months but it seems to lack that attention to detail.

    The food was great and in a pleasant, lively environment. However, service was very bad. 25 minutes in to being seated no one had come over so my date had to go to the front desk and ask if we could get a waiter/some water to start.

    Took my mother for her birthday, noted it on the res. Nobody acknowledged it , which I found odd because normally restaurants do when it’s on a reservation. Got sat at a table with hundreds of flies , changed tables to one in the corner Inside , not fantastic seating but figured the food would make up for it. I was very wrong. Everything tasted either rushed or cooked with old oil. Our bill was $300 which was fine but for the bleh taste of food ? I will never go back . Shocked considering who’s restaurant this is, because I love his other places. All in all I do not recommend eating here.

    The food here is consistently good. The cocktails are excellent and inventive. The setting is beautiful. The only downer is the flies at the outdoor tables. They are aggressive, especially when the food comes. I looked everywhere for any type of control and there is none that I could see. If they could solve this, the outdoor sitting experience would be so much better.

    We ordered two of each pinchos, the pulpo and patatas tapas and the rabbit paella for dinner. Paella rice had formed that amazing crust on the bottom... yum! Great cocktails and wine. Avoid the "cheesecake dessert"... A piece of manchego in caramel... Didn't taste like it was made that day, and don't do that to cheese!

    Had great experiences here previously...this time the food was abysmal. Way too much oil, not enough spice, no love, no care put into it. Another sad slide into bare mediocrity for Chiarello. Had been a fan for decades, but now...insert annoyed face here for a $200 waste of calories.

    Food was subpar. We’d been to the Coqueta in SF and were super impressed so we decided to hit this one up in Napa. Boy were we disappointed. The tapas were just plain bad. We ordered the Tomahawk steak and it was underwhelming. Way too dry (even for medium rareness). Please avoid.

    We arrived early and they were able to seat us until the rest of our party arrived which gave some time to look at the menu. Wait staff was very attentive and started with some small bites and wine. The rest of our group arrived and we pretty much plowed through the tapas menus. Each dish was amazing. Service was speedy. Dishes came out relatively fast as the restaurant was very busy. The trumpet mushrooms were so good we even asked for a side of bread for the sauce! ….and they even toasted the bread! Pricing for what we all ate was on point. Next time we’ll share the paella which looked amazing.

    This was truly an amazing experience unlike any other. We booked a reservation for 4 to celebrate dueling (10yr) anniversaries and had an experience that rivals any in Yountville. Our server was attentive and answered plenty of questions about the cocktails and menu. The food came out quickly and everything was delicious; portions were generous for a tapas setting and they gave you the option to add an additional serving if it didn’t equal the total party without having to order an additional round. The setting and ambiance were beautiful, right in downtown Napa. I will note that almost all seating is outside so it can be a little hot in the summer months but they do everything in their power to keep things cool and shaded. Where the experience takes a turn (for the amazing) is when Chef Chiarillo came in to have dinner with his family and generously included us in his evening. Bringing gnocchi and beers from his other restaurant next door to generously elevate an already amazing experience. Even going so far as to share local tips and hikes. All special occurrences aside, this is amazing restaurant and culinary experience. Highly recommend.

    As a frequent diner at Coqueta, I have never, ever been disappointed! To me, it’s an outstanding restaurant, so decided to share the experience with 2 friends. They were extremely impressed with our entire late lunch. Food is true Chef Chirallo fashion……amazingly creative & super delicious! The smallest attention to detail is followed precisely. Specialty cocktails are visually gorgeous & quite refreshingly different & there is an impressive wine list, including a white & red sangria. Desserts are not to be missed, as they are “out of the ordinary”! Managers & entire staff have true hospitality experience & can handle any situation. The outdoor patio dining is very lively with a fun playlist, adding to your enjoyment! A must visit restaurant when in Yountville!

    It’s hardly a Spanish restaurant. Giving Spanish names to dishes doesn’t make it Spanish. The pan con tomate is a disgrace. Portions are diminute. The huevos rotos, while savory, using the crispy out of the bag “fries” is also a disgrace. Gin and tonics not how they serve in Spain. The food was good but it’s overpriced for the portion size and once again, please change the type of restaurant.
