   It was 95 degrees out and we were sitting indoors. No air conditioning. Doors were open and only a few window were open. It was too darn hot and you should be running the AC, setting outdoors was not a option offered, even though we requesting it. Long time customer, just not acceptable.

   We stayed at Indian Springs and enjoyed a breakfast at Sam’s. The avocado toast and breakfast scramble were delicious, and everything was house-made - you have to try the fresh habanero hot sauce! Would absolutely recommend to anyone staying in Calistoga!

   We reserved a day in advance for outside. When arriving we were told that only inside was available despite FOUR open tables outside. When we departed 2 of the four tables remained unoccupied. We will not be returning.

   Not memorable at all Expected to do a nice birthday party for my wife but the service didn’t even seem interested to help The menu was very limited and not at all what was on the site (for all day menu) . They claimed what I saw online was a weekend menu but there was no indication that this was the case

   Heard about the restaurant and decided to try it out before going wine tasting. It happened we had visitors who were in Napa for a different reason and decided to have them join us. The food and service was excellent. We booked online however upon arrival the time had changed and I wasn’t aware of it. The staff was so accommodating and we were able to be seated immediately.

   We ate her twice. Once for dinner and again a few days latter for breakfast. Food was very good. Get the dessert churros. Yummy. Service was good and the food was excellent. Sit outside if it is not too cold, it is absolutely lovely outside. The breakfast avocado toast was delicious. Bacon and eggs, and eggs Benedict were also favorites of our family. Easy walk from downtown Calistoga.

    I had dinner there two nights in a row while staying at Indian Springs. I love this place for several reasons. 1) I went by myself both nights and felt 100% comfortable and welcomed. I don't often eat at nicer restaurants on my own. If the service and ambiance was the same at it was here, I'd do it more often! 2) The food was excellent, and they have great wine list from local wineries. 3) The outdoor dining is in a very a pleasant setting.

    Lunch was great - good food and service. the setting is beautiful but they need more umbrellas. It's very hot with all that concrete so it would be nice to have more shade per table. The other thing is that a bit of light background music would be a nice touch bc it was very quiet and we could hear other tables actual discussions word for word. All in all, a very nice place to eat.

    Lovely setting. Server was very nice & competent - she was very attentive to us in spite of also having a large party to serve. Food was delicious. I had squid ink pasta with clams. A few clams hadn’t opened & were replace without question. Will definitely come back.

    Outdoor seating was very comfortable. The food we ordered was excellent. I had the lamb shank and my partner had the steak. We had a couple of appetizers: deviled eggs, pan breads, and asparagus salad, all very delicious and well presented. Attentive staff.

    After several visits to the area, we finally tried this highly recommended restaurant and it did not dissappoint! The ambiance was friendly and comfortable with a sun-lit hillside bathing the outdoor eating area with natural light, but not direct sunlight. A table of extremely messy kids left just after we arrived and the staff quickly returned the area to its original layout. They brought us blankets as the sun went down and turned on a heater. The food was excellent as was the wine, and it was a good value for the experience.

    They obviously had staffing issues, which is unfortunate as the food was wonderful. Customers were being turned away unless they had reservations, with an almost empty restaurant. I hope they can restaff.

    Lovely spot-very nice outdoor patio and lovely dining area indoors. The service was great. Live music was nice, and the quality of the performance was super. ..but inside the dining room it did present a challenge in trying to have a conversation without feeling we had to speak in louder than normal voices.The menu did offer a wide variety of choices. The food was prepared nicely with appealing presentation. The pricing was on the high side…Just to be aware of those prices.

    Lovely spot, with excellent service and stand out menu. There was live music on a Sunday and quick and efficient delivery of my Bloody Mary. The atmosphere is great - with inside providing a respite from the heat and outside providing a view and shaded sunshine.

    This will be my first and last visit to Sam’s social club. With expectations high in the valley and with so many other options to enjoy great cuisine as well as ambience, I felt let down. The value at Sam’s social club is overrated.

    Upscale wine country restaurant with relaxed atmosphere, very good food and service, and all of that classic small town summer resort ambiance that feels like it could be in the 1950s / 60s. We dined inside for lunch, as it was 91 outside.

    The food was delicious but the service was awful--and it was not even busy at 8PM on a Monday night. We were seated outside and our server took our order and then forgot about us for the duration of the meal. Large parties around us received lots of attention, including having blankets brought to them, but the three of us could not get anyones attention when we were cold--the manager even moved our heater over to an empty table! It was like we were invisible. I called to my server two times and could not even wave at her because she never even looked at our table. No one refilled our water the entire meal. We pushed our plates to the side and sat there for at least twenty minutes after eating. I will not go there again.

    Indian Springs is an old sprawling resort. There were not a lot of signs with directions to Sams which sits upon a small hill with good parking. It was very noisy inside so we got a table outside. The menu is rather limited. My wife had the soup of the day and I had the asparagus salad to start which were very good. Since we can't have meat we both had salmon as it was the only fish on the menu. Since we live in Napa we will be back but there are better restaurants in the Napa valley for the same price.

    Their price points are a bit high for the quality and value of the food and wine. It is quite noisy and the indoor dining area is almost too regimented with the banquets and tables all lined up. We prefer to eat outdoors there, however, it was a cold and cloudy day. Air conditioning down our backs was uncomfortable.

    We arrived and the hostess said she had no tables indoors and did not offer us a later seating but wished us a good evening. When I challenged her that I could book online for 10 minutes from now she said she doesn’t know about the online booking but she could not take anyone indoors for the next hour because it would overload the kitchen . . . She did offer we could eat in the bar (somehow that does not overload the kitchen??? And she is not offered this initially.). We left the restaurant, booked a standard seating through open table from the parking lot and returned. When we we checked in she asked me if we would like to be seated inside or out? We said inside and we’re seated promptly. For me this was a horrible experience dealing with someone that did not understand her job but worse made &!( up on the fly. All this being said we loved the food, especially the ceviche, and the wait staff was professional. They need a better hostess or at least some training but for me I’ll take my business elsewhere. Tonight we had a fabulous meal in St Helena with excellent service, great cocktail, superior food and wait staff and bartender that I wish I had back home. Skip Sam’s and go to Market instead.

    Exceedingly disappointed. Had reservations, and I booked online. When asked online if I would like anything special because it was my Daughter’s 30th Birthday, I asked for her favorite drink to be ready when we arrived. She did not get her drink until 30 minutes later. I had to ask about three or four employees about it until she finally received it! It took a very long time for one of the employees to take our order and to receive our meal. We had about four different people waiting on our table but it was still it was a very horrible experience. The Hostess was vey unfriendly. For the price, the food was very marginal. I make the same brunch at home which tastes the same if not better! I would not dine at Sam’s Social Club again. There are so many other way better restaurants in Calistoga to enjoy as far as service, food quality, atmosphere and just overall competence.
