   This was our first time visiting Napa Kitchen+Bar in Montgomery. Pros: restaurant is beautiful. Cincinnatians may remember when it was the Stone Creek Dining Company space. They've completely remodeled and it's really beautiful. We were seated promptly and the service was excellent from start to finish. I had a glass of the Poppy Merlot (?) and it was so good, I purchased a bottle. Cons: The food was not great. I had the Steak Frites and it came out room temperature/cold. The presentation of dead-looking fries sprinkled with parmesan was disappointing. My friend had the Short Rib and was shocked by the small portion. My other friend had the pasta which was tasty, but again, not a large portion. Their air-conditioning was not working, so the restaurant was incredibly hot and we felt bad for our server who was running around in the heat. I'm sure that will be fixed soon. Overall, lovely space, great wines, excellent service. Just need to work on the food.

   Chris took very good care of us. Only two of the taps were offering draft beer and the salmon came out undercooked. Realizing it could have been an “off” night, we’ll be back

   Food was average for the price. Nice place, some tables are on top of each other so if you want a private meal, not the place to go.

   Good overall, and we would come back. The cocktails were just OK. Good cheese board….salads…short rib was good, but the risotto and carrots were a bit sub-standard. The shrimp app was very good! The restaurant ambience and service were both very good!

   The food was very good, service as well. It was a slow night, Half price bottles of wine before 6pm and all day on Tues. Atmosphere very welcoming, Our waiter kind of disappeared toward the end of our stay and another server took over. No explanation. Thought it a little strange.

    This place is slipping. Food was unremarkable, lacking flavor. Every dish I tasted out of 8-dining I'm my party. Nothing was 'bad', but I found myself disappointed having brought my entire family here. Really not the same place it was when it opened. Only bonus is half price wine on Tuesdays.

    Second visit to Napa and left slightly disappointed with the kitchen this round. Ordered mussels and fondue trio. The fondue cheese was delicious however the mussels were off. The quality and taste were awful. They took them off the bill so they did the right thing. My salmon was delicious! My son's steak was ordered without the chimichurri sauce but was brought out with it on. Server caught it and took it back to the kitchen. Returned a minute earlier with is scraped off but not entirely. Desserts were delicious! Maple bourbon bread pudding should not be missed. The apple crisp was great too however too hot to eat so took it home. Kitchen was off but we love the environment and the excellent service! Great cocktails and wine selection!!

    This was our first time dining at Napa Kitchen and it was wonderful! The flavors and freshness of my salmon dish were amazing! Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. It seemed a little pricy at first, but I’m OK with paying a little more for a great dining experience, which we had!

    3 of 4 meals were good. The fourth app was good salad good but chicken sandwich was not. The server noticed and manager came over to ask why sandwich was not eaten. He offered to replace it a no charge and provided a $20 gift card. Our friend thanked the manager for bringing it up because he was not going to. Impressed how this was handled when no complaint was made.

    We did not have a waiter. A young man in a green apron tried to help but he obviously wasn’t a waiter we never saw him again after we ordered we wanted another bottle of wine and more water but we couldn’t find him and no other staff bothered to asks if we needed anything.

    We lucked into a table at about 7:30 on a Friday. There are many gluten-free options and the food was delicious. David was our server and did an excellent job. Preston was also very helpful. We had the orange glazed salmon, GF flatbread, and a pork chop entree with Sea Pearl Sauvignon Blanc. All very tasty.

    We had a very nice server, but his timing was off in delivering food/drinks. I had to ask for more water. Food was only so/so for the price we paid. Calamari was burnt the first time, but the server brought out a replacement which tasted great. Burger had mayo and tomato even though we specifically told them to not put those ingredients on the burger. The saltimbocca was ok, but a little hard and dry. Overall, the food was a little disappointing based on the price. Ambience was awful since UFC was playing in the background.

    Our group of 6 went there for dinner on a Saturday night @ 8pm. We got seated right away. The atmosphere was fantastic and the room, though with 2 other large parties, was quiet enough so that you didn’t have to yell. The food, however, was not so great. It took 45 minutes to have to food order taken. We were ready within 15 minutes of getting there. Ordered glasses of wine and a mixed drink. Took too long to be served. Drinks were great. Tried to get refills of drinks and server did not return until food was served. We would have had a 3rd drink if the timing was right. Appetizers came and they were all good. The entrees came 2 at a time. I ordered the spaghetti pesto with shrimp. Huge portion with lots of Sun-dried tomatoes, but no pesto. I ate the shrimp and left the rest. Mentioned to the server and she commented that another customer said the same thing! She asked if I wanted the rest to go, no thank you. The rest of the meals were nothing to write home about. Dessert came promptly. Bread pudding was fantastic and the best of all desserts. The chocolate crème was also fabulous and rich. And portions enough to share. The owner came over ~ 10:30 to kick us out. He was polite enough to ask how everything was. I mentioned about the last of pesto. He was extremely surprised and filled out a card to present next time for free dish. If you have a big party to seat, the room is perfect. For that reason, I would recommend for larger groups. I know we will not be returning for a small size reservation.

    Visited Napa Kitchen + Bar during restaurant week in Cincinnati. Their menu was very good. My wife and I ordered different items from the menu and shared the dishes. For the appetizer we had the calamari and the baked brie. Both were very good. The brie needed a few more slices of bread for the portion of the cheese. For the main entre I had the gilled shrimp risotto and she had the chicken with asparagus and au gratin potatoes. Both were very good. the shrimp had a better presentation, but the chicken was a better overall dish. Finally we ended with the Chocolate pot and the Maple bourbon bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. Both were very good, but if I were to order again, the bread pudding wins. The service was outstanding the wine flight I ordered was great. Overall a great experience.
