Fume Bistro is a locals neighborhood restaurant, nestled north of downtown Napa, off of HWY 29. We are an American bistro with French, Italian and Mediterranean influences. We like to call our food simple, honest and seasonally correct. To accompany the food, we offer an eclectic wine list which is primarily, but not limited to California wines. Comfortable, friendly service. Attention to detail. Terrific food in a great atmosphere. Come on in, let's eat!

Please note that our covered, heated terrace is open all year and super 'dog friendly' during lunch and brunch hours - during dinner in the colder months we enclose the terrace and it's considered part of the dining room. Please let us know if you have your furry family with you and we will do our best to accommodate. Thank you for your understanding.

    The food was ok but way over priced. The service is poor, the beer list is poor. No placemats or table cloths on the table the table felt dirty. We would never go back.

    We were visiting from Michigan with no specific dining plans and saw Fume on open table. Menu had broad selections and burgers were great. The place was very busy and run efficiently. Service from all was outstanding and our server, Jaimie, was exceptional

    We liked all of the food and the selection, but the steak and scallops were both a little salty. We also had some very active boys seated near us, so it was a little distracting. The indoor seating and patio had a nice atmosphere and the waiter and service times were great.

    Fume is an awesome "local"-feeling restaurant with excellent food and service. The outdoor patio seating (covered in the event of inclimate weather) was an excellent addition. Love this place and will continue going back and back again!

    Nice dinner at Fume! I had high hopes expectations for the peach salad, since it is peach season, but it was nothing special. The peaches were not ripe and there were not many. Also the salad dressing was overpowering and did not compliment the dish. However, the sea scallops on special were excellent! Served over Israeli couscous, with chanterelle mushrooms, capers and fresh corn, fabulous flavor profile and the scallops were cooked to perfection. My husband had the steak, served rare and it too was excellent. They may have  sous vide’es it. The grilled asparagus looked great but was too stringy to cut/eat, so they replaced with Brussels sprouts they were fabulous

    You'll not find a more consistently good food restaurant in Napa. It's been around for over 20 years. The food is excellent, menu is fresh and updated seasonally. Staff is always friendly. We have been a local coming to this restaurant from the beginning and you will not find a better value for your money and delicious food.

    Everything was amazing except for the room being filled with smoke from their pizza oven. There were so much smoke in the dining hall, my eyes were burning by the end of our entrée. If they can fix the ventilation in the room, it would be perfect.

    The waiter was fine, but nothing special. He never came back to check how the food was, so he didn't see that we didn't eat the Ceasar salad. The salad was way over-dressed, it was so heavy that we couldn't eat it. It also had too much anchovie in the dressing - too strong. I also had the artichoke appetizer and it was drenched /puddled in butter, so it was very heavy and greasy. The bus boy came over more than the waiter. The ambiance was a bit shabby, and seemed unclean. The table was sticky. It was over-priced for the quality of food. The salad was $17 (which didn't include chicken or any protein). The artichoke appetizer was $16. It would be fine if the food was fabulous, but it really wasn't even good enough for us to eat the salad, and the artichoke was barely passable. We didn't order a main dish (thankfully).

    My husband and I oved having lunch at Fume on the patio with our little dog. The food was delicious and the staff were all very friendly. They even have a "dog menu" and our Maggie loved her scrambled eggs. The grilled salmon with peach, feta and greens salad was delicious. Would highly recommend Fure Bistro and Bar to anyone.

    The food was wonderful. I had a filet mignon cooked exactly like I like it and my husband had the halibut. He said the risotto was delicious and he usually doesn’t like risotto. Our server was attentive and we didn’t have to wait for anything we may have wanted. The dessert was also very food. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal and quiet dining experience.

    Fume is our favorite restaurant and actually our destination for our anniversary every year. The food is always amazing and the service is 5 star too! The patio is an amazing place to have brunch or lunch or dinner and Provides a wonderful view of a beautiful sunset. We have been coming to Fume for 17 years now and it has remained consistently outstanding.
