This place never disappoints! I usually dine at dinner but today was lunch. Shared the jumbo prawn appetizer, mahi mahi sandwich and lobster roll, both superb! Finish with their signature carrot cake and cappuccino. Until next time. Cheers! Steve Levendi Winery GM

1st time going to this restaurant - we WILL be back! Arrived too early for our reservations but enjoyed the small plates at the bar during happy hour. Once our table was ready we had an EXCELLENT server, "Devin" who took excellent care of us. ALL of the food choices we had were delicious! I totally recommend this restaurant to anyone.

My wife and I had the Grilled Alaskan Halibut, which we both loved and recommend. It comes with all the sides yoiu would need. The location is very pleasant, down on the river front. And the inside is very classy. Just a little noisey, but the food and outstanding service will keep us coming back.

Amazing food and wonderful staff (especially Roy). When you walk in, you're greeted with the aroma of well cooked seafood. We had the halibut, steamed mussels and oysters. It was so good, we made a second visit during our 3-day stay in Napa.

Good seafood and cocktails. A bit pricey but its Napa on a Friday night. The bummer was the VERY slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww service. Our 3 person dinner took 2.5 hours -- and we didn't order dessert. Seemed strange b/c it was normal busy but not packed.

Perfection! Drinks, Food, server, comfort! Will definitely go back! It was loud but I enjoy energy in a restaurant. The people next to us did not. Two things they could address. Get Patron n the bar! Maybe they were out but they didn’t have it. Also, our table , my seat specifically, and everyone sitting on the wall seat can watch everyone go in and out of the bathroom. Put a door, a curtain, something so the people coming out and the people eating don’t have to see these poor people after doing their business. No one wants to come out looking at people trying to have a beautiful expensive meal experience and those people don’t want to look at them either. Lol! Just a suggestion that will help the look and privacy of the patrons. Other than that it was great! Our server Michael was the best! Can’t wait to go sit on the patio next time!

so second time here and maybe our last. On what planet does a steak cost over $90? That is ridiculous. my fish was OK, but maybe I could have tasted the ingredients if it was not slathered in garlic (not mentioned on the menu description BTW). I have said this before, but excessive garlic and salt is Greek for (my ingredients need to be covered up due to poor quality).

Went to PEJU winery and Claudia whom served us for our tasting referred us to the Waterfront Seafood Grill. We had a taste for seafood and it was the best meal we had while in Napa. Clam chowder and lobster bisque for starters. Then the scallops for our entree. Top notch.

Good food and service. It’s a bit noisy, but tables are not too squished together, so you don’t feel cramped. Seating outside might be a bit quieter. Servers were on top of it and food was well timed.
