   Realized that breakfast, specifically their donuts, is their specialty, not dinner. Everything was bland, from the fried chicken to the mushroom pasta, a disappointment. Artichoke dip and fries were the best thing. Despite the food, service was good however the place was near empty.

   I’m not a big fan of southern cooking so it’s hard for me to rate the food. The service, however, was stellar. And the space was warm and welcoming. Every table was full but the ceilings are high and the airflow is good so it did not seem crowded or noisy. Our group shared 3 desserts, which were all fabulous. My favorite was the cheesecake with the homemade graham crackers!.

   My wife and I live in Napa and have had dinner here several times. They have now blocked off the parking near the restaurant causing a problem with the parking. It is still an excellent place to go for good casual fine dining.

   The service was great and the waitress was extremely responsive. However the food was not very good. Our steak was over cooked but the pizza was good and so was the cab. In the end, the waitress removed the charge without us asking but we still left hungry.

   I’ve been to Boon Fly on several occasions and love it. I think that this was just not our server’s day. She forgot to bring us a fork (which made eating grits challenging) and completely forgot the pie we ordered.

    A return visit to Boon Fly Cafe did not disappoint!! Our last visit was about 5 years ago. Our waitstaff, Danielle was nothing short of amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable about every dish and detail. We were not extremely hungry, so we just wanted to have a light dinner. My hubby had the gumbo and I had a salad with prawns. Everything was totally amazing!! Thanks again for a good time & a great meal!!!

    Food was really good. The ambiance was like a dentist office in a barn. Music from the bar could be heard somewhat in the dining room. Very bright lighting for dinner with minimal decor.

    Awesome fried chicken and great biscuits. Wonderful respite after a day in the Carneros…be careful Re their wines though. vERY steep corkage fee Of $35 per bottle that they didn’t mention - just charged. Would not come back because of that. Very disappointing

    The buttermilk biscuits were amazing (except the jam could use a bit more sugar)!! We felt the menu choices were not what we would regularly choose, but that’s on us, I guess. We would come back for breakfast, and more biscuits!

    All was very reassuring that Boon Fly is maintaining its high standards. Love this place, as one who grew up on an Oklahoma farm, the ambiance rings true (with a modern take). And Danielle, our server, was her usual charming and efficient self. All-in-all, a satisfying experience in our neighborhood. Thanks, Richard

    Fried chicken was super dry. I found myself spitting it out in my napkin that’s how dry it was. The mashed potatoes were good though.

    While staying at Carneros Resort we ate here several times. The breakfasts are great and the orange juice is freshly squeezed. Dinners are tasty as well. We had fried chicken with crazy good buttermilk biscuits. The staff is fabulous and you can tell they like their jobs making each visit a pleasant experience.

    Food and service was good. No outdoor seating right now and the inside was very stuffy with no air circulating. Definitely need to open some windows or turn on some fans. Overall it was fine. Not sure we will return soon (at least until we can sit outside).

    It was a bit underwhelming experience given the reviews I've read. We ordered the salmon and the fried chicken as mains and both dishes where just ok. I had the fried chicken. It actually had fairly good flavor, but it was just on the dry side. The mashed potatoes and the collard greens tasted like they've been sitting around in bain marie for hours. We had cheese cake and donuts for deserts. The cheesecake was not bad, but to be honest, I wouldn't be able to tell you the difference between it and what you would get from a local super market. The donuts were coated with way too much cinnamon sugar. Completely unnecessary considering it came with melted chocolate on the side. On the positive side, our waitress was really pleasant. Nothing here is terrible, but there's also nothing special about this place. Their website present themselves as some sort of rustic farm to table place. I was expecting simply cooked, but fresh ingredients, but there's nothing fresh about the food we tasted.
