About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for business meals
  • Good for special occasions
Please note that we accept brunch diners on a first come first serve basis and we take reservations for dinner only.

Fun, lively, and vibrant, Boon Fly Café serves modern rustic cuisine in a contemporary roadhouse atmosphere. Start your day with our signature Boon Fly donuts, and end it with our award-winning fried chicken or one of our nightly dinner specials. Resort guests and locals alike are drawn to the energetic vibe and satisfying cuisine that’s based on the agricultural heritage of the region.

Named for a Carneros pioneer named Boon Fly, who planted orchards and vineyards in the area in the mid-1800s, our café is a homage to local flavor.

Boon Fly, descended from settlers of the early New England Colonies, was part of the great tradition of wagon trains that brought many of the early families west. He was drawn to the farmlands north of the city and settled outside of Napa on a property that would become known as the Fly District.

    Very tasty better lettuce salad. Delicious halibut, mashed potatoes and sugar snap peas. Buka teeny pasta was very good chocolate chip cookie, and ice cream was also very good, but think it could be served without the cumbersome pastry crust.

    Worst steak exp. Advertised ribeye, they cut all the cap off “because people don’t want all of that fat.’ The cap, and its fat, are the point. Sell a flatiron steak if that is what you want to offer.

    Great service. 3 stars because calamari and fried chicken were both dry and calamari had almost no meat - was like breaded rings of paper, making them not worth the cost. Nice, casual ambience and the staff were friendly, attentive and detail oriented. I would go again but get something else, like the ciopino.
