"At this iconic roadhouse, it’s a joy to eat your greens—imagine freshly plucked lettuces from the bountiful garden boxes. In fact, Chef Pawlcyn is a wine country pioneer for incorporating on-site gardens that produce ingredients routinely seen on this seasonal menu. The fish of the day may unveil grilled halibut sauced with oxtail reduction and plated with silken leeks and fingerling potatoes. But, save room as this is not the place to skip dessert; and the lemon-lime tart capped with brown sugar meringue fittingly described on the menu as “ridiculously tall” doesn’t disappoint.It should come as no surprise that there’s usually a wait for a table here. But use the time to take a stroll on the lush grounds for a preview of what the kitchen has in store." - Michelin Inspector
"This Napa Valley landmark from chef Cindy Pawlcyn is a go-to lunch spot for local winemakers and is beloved for its comfort food classics that pair great with Napa’s best wines. You can’t go wrong with Mustards Mighty Meatloaf, the Crazy Good Chicken Wings, Famous Mongolian Pork Chop, or Chalkboard Pasta, which changes each day but never disappoints." - Dianne de Guzman
"Once hailed as a must-stop along Highway 29, eating at Mustards Grill these days has become somewhat of a gamble. It’s never a bad place to spend an afternoon, thanks to the cozy, elevated coastal diner space with wrap-around windows and black-and-white checkered flooring. But in an area overrun with talented chefs and fresh produce, there are plenty of other great options nearby like R+D Kitchen. The menu is eclectic and the better dishes are Asian-inspired, like crispy calamari (presented more like a salad with curried slaw and fresno chilies) or ahi tuna crackers with wasabi cream. But if you’re looking for heat, you won’t find it. The lamb burger is a notch above good, but then the soggy, flavorless BBQ pork sandwich and soupy mac and cheese skew borderline unappealing. Most prices feel too high to justify the quality, but the service is excellent." - christina julian, jasmine alexandra

"When you overestimate the security line and are through the body scanners in less than 10 minutes, use your precious extra time to have a real sit-down meal at Mustards Bar & Grill. Originally from Napa, the American restaurant’s airport menu includes quick hitters like burgers, fish and chips, and salads (though sadly, they don’t serve the iconic pork chop in Terminal G). They also do wine, cocktails, and beer. " - Julia Chen
