    I had such a memorable dinner at Lovina tonight to celebrate my Name Day. I had mentioned in the reservation that it was a special occasion, and the staff went above and beyond — greeting me at the door with a hand-signed card from the team and a sweet surprise gift. What a thoughtful way to start the evening! Lovina has become my go-to for special occasions. I live in Napa and always make a point to bring friends here when they’re visiting or to celebrate a birthday. Tonight, I sat on the upstairs patio with my dad and everything about the experience was lovely. We especially enjoyed the halibut, and the polenta mushroom bites were a standout. The beet and cheese salad was another unexpected favorite — fresh and perfectly balanced. What really sets Lovina apart is the genuine hospitality. The service is warm and welcoming, and the general manager took the time to personally greet us and make sure everything was perfect. In a region where some spots can feel overpriced or overly polished, Lovina delivers both quality and heart. Highly recommend for locals and visitors alike — it’s a gem in downtown Calistoga. Thank you, Lovina, for such a wonderful evening!
