    We were there for Derby weekend dinner on Thursday. We loved the ahi tuna starter. So fresh tasting. My husband loved the lobster bisque. The haddock stuffed with crabmeat was delicious. It was only offering that didn’t have a sauce, pasta. I love to eat out and so appreciate a delicious high protein healthier meal. Our server gave just the right amount of attention. We are fans of this restaurant

    Food and service were great, but the place was very noisy. Perhaps just because of Derby week?

    This is a pretty good spot. The food was good, not great…. But Im not putting it down either. It was what you would expect for this price point which means the value was on point. Would we return, absolutely. Will it get a Michelin star, probably not. The lobster sliders were great, the lobster bisque was amazing. The crab stuffed halibut was mediocre and dry. The spaghetti was perfect.

    The best Lobster Bisque I’ve had in a long time. Puff pastry topping was a unique touch. Excellent service

    This is my favorite local eatery. I go often, and often I bring groups with me. I gave an overall score of 4 stars for only one reason: what’s with the menu changes? Locals, tourists, and foodies know and love lots of dishes here. Some dishes are held over from the previous owners of Napa River Grill. We wanted the tomato soup, for example, which is available but is not on the menu. It’s definitely a signature dish that isn’t available at other eateries. They still have it; we ordered it, and it was wonderful. But it’s not on the menu. Why would they “hide” a favorite dish? I recommend Osteria. They never disappoint. But keep your signature dishes on the menu please.

    Easter Brunch was ok. Quite pricey for longer buffet lines. I’d try a regular menu dinner, but not the Easter Buffet again.
