There were 4 in our party at 8:15 last friday. We arrived about 15 minutes early and checked in with the host. We were told it would be closer to our time which was fine so we were directed to the outside patio where we could have our cocktails. Great, however after about 10 minutes no one came out for our order until i went in to get someone. Okay I understand you get busy etc. so we brushed it off and before we got our cocktails we were taken to our table. Ordered the bacon sampler which was great, split gem salad and crab cakes to share which took forever to make it to our table at least 30 minutes. Server did apologize several times but by now it is getting late. Steaks were also slow to arrive though were very good. $3.00 for 2 ounces of bearnaise sauce a little laughable. Overall i would give it a 3.5 rating considering
PRESS is always a special place to dine even when it is not an anniversary or birthday! We entered the restaurant and were given a very warm welcome and were seated at one of our favorite tables. Service was excellent. Scott, our sommelier, picked out a Chardonnay to compliment our entree of crab cakes. It was a delicious meal. It was a special night to relax and enjoy!
PRESS is one of the best restaurants in Napa Valley.
It was not at good as last time. Total bill for 5 people was $650. Steaks were over cooked and dry the chocolate cake we liked was taken off menu and new one is too dry. The lamb was perfect the chicken was nothing special.
Excellent Napa Valley wine list in a very nice space. We’ve been spoiled, however, re restaurants that are primarily purveyors of great beef. There are too many much better steaks houses in Chicago and a couple much better in Charleston SC. Overall, a good experience but not up to what we were expecting. Press falls in our “been there, done that” category.
Fantastic meal from the appetizer to the main course. Would highly recommend. Wines are on the pricier side.
The service at Press is outstanding. Servers are attentive, efficient and gracious. They are pros.
Restaurant is lovely. Well appointed and interesting. Great new wall hangong from a train station.
Having eaten at Press since it opened, the food was disappointing. Salads were delicious- one with pea shoots and fava beans and one with avocado. My daughter ordered a steak well done. “Well” was clarified by the server. The steak was served bloody. Onion wings were cold and mushy. Puree’d potatoes were good, not great but the portion for $12 was a small bowls worth.
Yes, we could have sent them back but didn’t want to wait for them to reserve.
I don’t plan to return for awhile.
Incredible service and wine list. One of the most impressive wine lists of old Napa Cabs and nice selection of new California wines as well. Steak and appetizers were incredible.
Made my Mother’s birthday celebration beyond fantastic. Everything from staff to food amazing and so memorable! Big thanks to all who helped make it so special!
Great menu, great staff, great service and great food! Nicole, Max, Amanda & Scott were amazing! love this place!
We chose Press to celebrate our birthdays. This is an exceptional restaurant with attentive service. Press does not disappoint. We will return, soon.
Exceptional in every way!
Nice casual elegant ambiance. Steaks are tender and cooked perfectly. Loved my ribeye cut.
The meal, service was fabulous - really about all that needs to be said - highly enjoyable experience.
Our first time there and it was wonderful. We will definitely eat there again our next trip to Napa Valley!
Fantastic, best steaks I had a very long time, server was very engaging and friendly. Elegant atmosphere without the snottyness Love it!!
The food and the service were absolutely outstanding! Best food we had in Napa. Ask for the Bacon Sampler - even though it's not on the menu - it was definitely one of the highlights. The steaks were perfectly prepared. It might have been our favorite night/dinner of our stay in Napa. Highly recommended!
We had high expectations for dinner here. Unfortunately dinner was less than stellar. Staff forgot to put in our appetizer. Did not bring us the sauces with our steaks. Desserts were bland. It was just ok. Locations was beautiful. The interior was nicely decorated.
It was wonderful, The wine sommelier was excellent with 10,000 wines to choose from she made us a remarkable choices. Steaks melt in your mouth. It was our 28 wedding anniversary and we were visiting from Miami Florida.
Food was wonderful. Staff was attentive. Ambiance was amazing
We have gone here for the last 2 years for our wedding anniversary and this place does not disappoint ! The setting is beautiful, food is amazing, and service is impeccable. Would highly recommend !!!
Two thumbs up.
Thank you so much for a great evening! It was perfect.
PRESS is always fantastic, Charles provides such wonderful service. The value for what you get is worth it, the food quality and flavors are unmatched.
Great night! Some of the best lobster/crab cakes we have ever eaten..all quality meat, no filler. Filets were perfectly cooked. The side dish of sautéed spinach was perfectly prepared. Don’t forget the chocolate soufflé!
The service at PRESS was like none other. Our waiter was knowledgeable, relatable, funny and attentive.
Overall, we had a great time.
Not that impressed, food was ok, nothing special especially for their pricing. Beware, $40 corkage fee.
Birthday celebration
I had a great meal at Press. The service was excellent as well. The steaks were cooked to perfection and the flavor wonderful.
Excellent food, wine, cocktails and service!
We love the energy and food here. Steaks were cooked perfectly, and all the sides were delicious, especially the roasted cauliflower.
The chocolate mousse is to die for and that brownie sundae didn't disappoint. Server was excellent.
Food was great and service was impeccable. Would certainly return.
Press is our go to! As we part time residence whenever we are in town we are at Press! Love Love Love!
Always love our cozy dinners at Press! Such a beautiful space, consistently delicious food and our waiter Nan was wonderful. A favorite Friday night wine country spot.
Fantastic all around.
Amazing! Excellent food and service! Highly Recommend!
Fabulous as usual.
Amazing atmosphere from the minute you walk in. The hospitality was extremely friendly. The food and wine were perfect.
Great! Cool ambiance and even a card from the staff for my wife’s birthday.
Sommelier was great and servers were very good. Several steaks not cooked to correct temperature. Should be spot on for the price. Charter Oak has them beat as does Bistro Jeanty.
Just okay. The steak tartare was quite good (nice portion, very high quality meat and well seasoned). The fresh baked rolls were very well done. And the service was friendly. But, how can you be a steak house and have terrible creamed spinach? This was watery and way over salted. Had to send it back. Too bad. This place has promise. Maybe just an off night?
