Oh my goodness, you must come to Napkins between three and six for their happy hour. I think they're happy hours is the best in town, featured in the photos is a Caesar salad muscles and clam chowder. The clam chowder is phenomenal. If you don't make it at that time you can enjoy dinner at Napkins With a culinary experience like no other and the bartenders are fantastic.

Luckily it wasn't too busy when our group of 5 came for weekend brunch so we didn't have to wait to be seated. The food was delicious! The English muffins in the salmon Benedict were honestly some of the best English muffins I've ever had. The habanero chicken was succulent and the gin & tonic was good. It's definitely a pricey brunch spot but it's also Napa.

First night in Napa and it was restaurant week. We knew Napa loved us! We love to wine down with no wine but cocktails and napkins didn't disappointed. My friend wanted us to try this drink because the presentation was top tier. It was a great welcoming night back to Napa as the food and ambiance was everything.

Amazing staff, we came to Napa for a wine tasting and decided to walk around Napa downtown. After strolling for an hour or so, we decided to dine in the area. It's a Saturday night and down town Napa was bustling with people. We walked up to Napkins Bar and Grill to check out their menu. Everything sounds good. So, we walked in and the hostess asked if we have reservations, which we didn't. The manager was able to make accommodations for the 6 of us. We had a table outside which wasn't too bad with the patio heaters. Our waitress was super nice, all the staff was super attentive. The food was amazing! Highly recommend this place if you're in the area, everything was delicious!

Hey Yelpers!!!! Was in Napa for a get away and was leaving and needed to grab something to eat before leaving. Found this literally looking up " food nearby ". So we decided to give it a try. THE CHEF, THE FOOD. Is 100/10 THE SERVER/WAITER we had was 0/10. I wish I knew how to spell and pronounce his name. He was very rude. He talked over me, got things all wrong with what WE WANTED/HOW WE WANTED ... OUR FOOD.... Because he wanted it how " he thought " it should be. But there were things we did not want on our plate for specific reasons ( allergies)... I ordered the habanero Chicken and my friend ordered Salmon with mashed potatoes. I would have left this restaurant a 1 star because service was so bad, and I strongly believe it's because we are " of color "... but the food was delicious. Parking was tough. Street parking. A lot of red zones I hope your experience is different from ours. But I will go back just for my dish, it was so great!!! I destroyed it!!!

Good food, great service, in a relaxed ambiance perfectly describes Napkins in Napa. Customer service was outstanding, hats off to Josh our host. We ordered the New England Clam Chowder to start, which was ok. A lot of clams, but lacked flavor. Wasn't thick and hearty like classic clam chowder. However, the rest of the dishes were beyond amazing which made me forget about the clam chowder. The Braised Short Ribs stole the show. Ribs were extremely tender and full of flavor. The puff pastry with pesto was also good. Overall I can't wait to go back and try other menu options. Looking forward!

Napkins did not disappoint while I was in town for my annual Napa trip. We were seated promptly and shocked to see they had a prefixed menu for resturant month. i typically come the first week in December so seeing resturant month was new for me. We were super exited to see this because the items we were already going to order was on that menu so we both got the 2-course selection. For my cocktail I ordered the Fall old fashioned, the way they paired by two favorite things...Fall and an old fashioned cocktail was spectacular. For my first course I ordered the Creole shrimp as my appetizer and it was served with a nice portion of shrimp in a delectable creole sauce and some bread. On to the main attraction, the star of the show...a generous portion of braised short rib! When I'm in Napa I always find myself ordering short rib and it's always so good! We decided to have one more drink that was served smoked and presented in a cage...presentation and flavor 5/5! Our server was amazing and I will be sure to make napkins a stop in my next trip back to wine country.

Amazing experience at Napkins! We struggled to find a dining option that was open middle of the day and a friend recommended Napkins. Samantha took excellent care of us and shared her favorite entrees/recommendations. We decided on the halibut and the short rib. INcredible! The halibut had the perfect sear with a beautiful, tangy lemony finish and paired with cauliflower hash. The short rib was tender as butter and served on top of perfectly prepared polenta and a side of spinach and mushrooms: Our meals were so amazing we insisted on thanking Luis (chef) ourselves! After the second bite I vowed to turn. Thank you, Napkins!
