Where to Drink Anything but Wine in Napa, Sonoma, and Marin

"A classic 1944 mai tai made with lime, curaçao, and orgeat served in a tiki mug alongside a plate of Spam musubi? Check. Scorpion bowl with a pupu platter? Check. Kitschy tiki decor? Check. Check. Check. This is to say: Tiki culture is alive and well at Wilfred’s Lounge, a bar where Hawaiian shirts are welcome and ukuleles and spontaneous bursts of song are common. Sitting on the patio, Tahitian punch in hand, with views of the Napa River, surrounded by statuesque tikis and a thatched bar, you might just think the trade winds blew you here." - Christina Mueller

The 17 Best Restaurants In Napa - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"The rooftop scene and prime waterfront location make Wilfred’s a win when you’re ready to wipe away those red wine teeth stains with tropical drinks. This Hawaiian spot calls itself a “modern tiki bar,” and serves strong cocktails and food that’s better than it needs to be. Try the Maximum Aloha, made with strawberry-infused rum and a coconut banana whip you’ll remember the next day, and order the kalua pork, spam sliders, and hula pie (if it’s on the menu) to share." - Christina Julian

2nd time in, had reservations for Mother's Day. We were seated in this cozy booth near the window on the river. The staff were all super friendly and attentive. We ordered the BBQ Burger, Pineapple Fried Rice and Tofu Poke Bowl. For drinks, we ordered the Pagan Ritual and Carries Treasure Chest. The food and drinks were fresh and served fast. I can't wait to go back again and try more items!

This restaurant was absolutely amazing! We made reservations and when we got there, we were seated expeditiously. The drinks were absolutely amazing, I felt the buzz after the first one and after drink number two we were definitely feeling good! The ribs were tender to perfection and the sauce on them was absolutely divine. The spam musubi was very filling and flavorful would definitely order everything that we ordered again plus more.

Unexpected, excellent find in Napa. Two-story Tiki bar with a great terrace/balcony overlooking the river located in downtown Napa. Great happy hour with $10 drinks. Great service at the bar. Go to the bar, get a couple of drinks, and head upstairs with the drinks to the balcony to enjoy the view, then have a second beverage while taking some great photos (this seriously might be the best place to get outside photos in downtown Napa). It’s not a traditional ‘dark inside’ Tiki bar, and while they have a great drink menu, you will need to specifically order some more ‘regular’ tiki drinks off-menu. They have beer and wine too if you’re into that. Highly recommend, perhaps best bar in Napa.

--A Delightful Napa Experience-- We had a fantastic time! Our server, Shanie, was incredibly helpful in navigating the menu, suggesting the delicious 1944 Mai Tai and Batten Down the Hatches cocktails. The tuna poke bowl was a fresh and flavorful treat, while my wife loved the pulled pork sliders and sweet potato fries. We topped off the meal with a divine upside-down pineapple cake. Shanie's recommendations were spot on, and we'll definitely be returning on our next Napa trip! Update, 10/24: back at Halloween time and had a special cocktail, the "Shrunken Head". Shanie was our server again and she was as good as the first time. Update, 1/25: back again and had a great meal and tiki cocktails. Particularly liked the spam fries and fried pickle appetizers.

Food and drinks were great. The atmosphere was a bit more rigid than other tiki bars we've been to. This was definitely just a tiki themed restaurant and none of the drama and showmanship we've seen at others. Our server was very kind and never dropped the ball. I had the sampler plate which was very exciting to try so many different dishes, my friends had the pulled pork sandwich. Everyone cleaned their plate.

We loved having dinner and drinks here! Brian the bartender was super fun and friendly. The GM, Lauren seated us and was friendly and inviting. Our food was delicious and the drinks are solid! We had fun looking around at all the cool decor. Be sure to go upstairs and look around too. Really good attention to detail!

I have been here with my family a number of times and it was always been delicious. We went on July 4th and it was a huge mistake. The firecracker green beans look like they came out of a can, limp and with no flavor. The limited menu offered few choices, the poke bowls were dry and bland. Our drinks were watered down. The service was good, and our waiter attentive. But I couldn’t believe how downhill this place has gone since maybe a year ago. What was once highly worth it is now way overpriced and regrettable-save your money!

The space inside has a unique vibe and the deck has a superb view of the Napa River as it bends through the town. There was no service upstairs so I ordered at the bar having seen a selection of dishes down stairs and may be the mistake was ordering one of the fried rice dishes. Frozen food drowned in a soy sauce with last weeks pineapple. Just disappointing for such a prime location with such a great interior vibe. ‘Can do better’.

My boyfriend and I came here prior to dinner for a drink or two. We had no idea it was happy hour. Our first round of drinks were okay, we definitely enjoyed the second round more. We had the punch the first round and I had the Tai One On the second round, while he had the Grinchmas. The Grinchmas tasted just like mint chip ice cream. So if you like mint chip, you'll like this. If you don't, order something else. I really liked the Tai One On as it reminded me of a rum old fashioned. We also had some bites from the happy hour menu including the chicken wings (3) and fried pickle spears (6). Both were $9 dollars and tasty. But if you're looking for bang for your buck, I would do the pickles rather than the wings. The decorations in the bar area are nice. I'm definitely used to a more dark tiki bar, this once was light and airy. The bartenders were very nice and chatted us up. They're also pretty knowledgeable of the spirits they have on hand there. I would recommend for anyone looking for a break from wine while in Napa Valley.

Thank you Wilfred's for supporting 20/30 Active Club with Project Santa. Goal is to provide Christmas gifts for 175 kids in need. We had an amazing speciality drink Grinchmiss Cocktail (see photo) our Spam sliders were perfect. We love this place!

The decor here is great, a nice mix between a restaurant and a tiki bar. The food was delicious and the portions were large, however I was a little disappointed by the quality of the drinks. The service was also a bit awkward, to be fair we did come in on a slow, rainy day but the bartender didn't talk to us at all. I didn't necessarily want to get chatted up, but it was weird being the only people in the restaurant sitting at the bar and them not exchanging any words or even looking at us aside from us ordering. With that said, the hostess at the front was very nice and inviting. I can't wait to come on a busier night to hopefully have a better experience.

We stopped in for birthday dinner after an afternoon of wine tasting. This place was so fun! Our server, Isabella, was great. We ordered creative, Hawaiian inspired drinks and the food was amazing. They had the best orange chicken I have ever had! Everything on the menu looked great, so we will have to come back. The place has a fun vibes with live music on the patio overlooking the river. We had a great time!

Don't sleep on their happy hour which includes Fridays!!! Drinks are $9-11 instead of ~$20 and so good. Amakini - this was my favorite, sweet and coconut flavor predominates, so good Pink palace - medium sweetness, fruity and very refreshing Tahitian punch - less sweet, more spirit forward Super friendly bartenders, cannot recommend this place more highly!

1 star because of the quality of the drinks Love the place, the decor and the ambiance. The rooftop is super nice. Service is great. Problem is the drinks are bad. Legit bad. Ordered 3 drinks and nothing's great. One is not balance and I don't even know what is this drink : COLONEL MUSTARD WTIH A MANGO BOUKMAN HAITIAN RUM, AGED RUM FROM MARTINIQUE AND ST LUCIA, MUSTARD MANGO SYRUP, GINGER LIQUEUR, AWAMORI, LEMON 2 were too much ice I can't even taste the cocktails at all. O.G. GROG GROGGY RUM BLEND, LIME, GRAPEFRUIT, SPICE #1, ROCK CANDY STICK The 3rd one is the worst Among all because too much ice I think it's nui2. Can't even remember because it was bad really want to like this place though There were 2 girls next to me who came before me, didn't even finish their drinks. Just sipped it a bit, paid and gone. I don't know if it's drinks related or something else.

We spent Easter weekend in Napa and had an amazing time. My parents and kids, brother and sister-in-law all had brunch her. The service was great and our waitress had such amazing energy. My little girl and I shared the Ube bae baby drink and I thought it was just OK. It was bit tart in my opinion. We ordered the pupu platter, spam musubi, chicken katsu, loco moco and salmon misoyaki. Everything was good! But since we just returned from one week in Hawaii, the food here still doesn't compare to the islands. It's still definitely good and I would love to try more of their drinks on my next visit. I love their decorations and they have this cute little video of a mermaid swimming in the ocean when you head to the bathroom. Super cute! I will bring my husband here on my next visit.

Came here this summer during happy hour! Seated outside and it was a beautiful time. The outdoor chairs and decorations were great for this tiki inspired restaurant. Great cocktail menu, I wanted to order it all. The waitress was helpful and suggested a few cocktails based on what tastes I was looking for. I ended up with a kiwi drink and it was GOOOOD. My partner had a beer but that's his own preference. We had a great time but we only had drinks. I'd come for that patio and drink menu again.

Came here to eat after wine tasting on a Friday during happy hour. I love the atmosphere here. Shanie was our server and she was great. She did really good with recommendations. We sat at the first table inside where you are a step from outside perfect table. The fried pickles and coconut shrimp were the best I had. The Huli Huli chicken wings were great. The pineapple fried rice with chicken was really good as well. To drink we had amakini and Hipa Hipa Hooray, not only were they cute they were good. Definitely coming back when I'm in town.

Best fun / casual dinner in town. Such a relief from all of the overpriced restaurants. Come for fun, tiki drinks, and the friendliest staff. For all the parents out there, this is a lovely place that will treat your littles like royalty! I cannot get enough

When I thought of Napa before, I can tell you the first thing that that came to mind was not tiki. That might've changed with the visit Jamie W. and I made during a particularly drizzly Saturday last month. We had just finished a visit to the Tiki Dreams exhibit at the Napa Valley Museum and thought it might be fun to complement that with an actual tiki cocktail. Even though Jamie and I have been on a tiki roll recently, we had no idea this evocative two-floor lounge existed downtown on the edge of the Napa River. It's only been around since 2021, but it's named after a family member who ran a beloved Honolulu cocktail bar. It's all in the details, and the seafaring elements and authentic Hawaiiana really immersed us into the tropical atmosphere. Wilfred's is a restaurant as well as a bar and offers all the expected dishes like pineapple fried rice, kalua pork, and mac salad. We went upstairs and settled ourselves on the plush loveseats in the corner, perfect as the rain was sprinkling on the shipboard deck outside. The cocktail menu was extensive and presented in a booklet. We started big with two winners. I had the $17 Hipa Hipa Hooray It was a potent take on a painkiller with Overproof Jamaican rum, coconut, pandan, pineapple, and orange (photo: https://yelp.to/vRmuexUyQ6). Jamie had the $16 O.G. Grog described as a Groggy Rum blend, lime, grapefruit, spice #1, and a rock candy stick (photo: https://yelp.to/6JkYdRqvWr). We decided to share the $11 Spam Fries, panko-crusted fried Spam with mango habanero sauce and mustard (photo: https://yelp.to/bzmISMP8cw). That was decadently indulgent but more than a second round of delightful libations. Jamie went for the $15 Uma Ube with white rum, cream of coconut, pineapple, and ube (photo: https://yelp.to/KjB0p0oK7G). I went a little more uptown with the $16 Espresso Tikitini, a smooth blend of vodka, Koloa coffee-infused rum, Copalli cacoa rum, macadamia nut liqueur, Griffo coffee liqueur, and coffee (photo: https://yelp.to/degQyriZCu). Oh my, we were on a roll but we decided to shift gears to the mocktail page of the menu. We finished with a couple of $10 Ube-Bae-Baby! mocktails since I wanted an ube fix. Mixed with pineapple and coconut, it was the perfect ending to our tiki sojourn (photo: https://yelp.to/0RMwae5EHW). In fact, we were so pleased with our visit that we bought T-shirts to remember our tropical trip to the wine country. COCKTAILS - 5 stars...extensive, refreshing and addictive FOOD - 4 stars...just had the Spam fries, need to try more AMBIANCE - 5 stars...pretty idyllic and tropical, not short on details SERVICE - 4.5 stars...pretty attentive considering how crowded it was getting TOTAL - 5 stars...a most compelling reason to come to Napa RELATED: Looking for a tiki bar?

It is always a good time visiting a tiki bar with friends. The way a tiki bar can meld good drinks, great service, and an experiential ambiance into an amalgam of tropical bliss is truly remarkable. We arrived to Wilfred's on a Friday night, and only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table outside. We enjoyed a Monkey Business between the 4 of us, and it was absolutely delicious. I had never had a punch bowl type drink before, and it was really amazing. Needless to say, I will definitely bring my wife back here, and hopefully get a spot at the bar. We can't wait to come back!

They had a lovely rooftop spot overlooking the water. It's a prime location when the weather is nice out, you can watch all the water sports go down the river. When we arrived there was no hostess in sight which was a little uncomfortable. We stepped in and ordered at the bar and seated ourselves, which seemed to be what they wanted us to do. It wasn't too busy but it picked up later. Their cocktails were fun, but be ready to spend an extra dollar. Thank you!

If you're in Napa and not at Wilfred's Lounge, seriously, what are you doing?! This place is an island getaway right in Napa, with dreamy river views, rooftop vibes, and all the tropical feels. I normally don't write reviews (too busy sipping cocktails, obviously), but Wilfred's totally deserves a shoutout! Drinks? A+. Food? Amazing. Service? Next level. Shaney, our server, was a total rockstar - she knew the menu inside-out and saved my indecisive friend with a killer recommendation. I'm obsessed with the Hipa Hipa Hooray - light, refreshing, and perfectly rum-forward. It's like a way better Painkiller (if I dare say). My friends were equally hooked on the 1944 Mai Tai and Tahitian Punch - both dangerously good. Now, I'm just over here in New York, counting the days until I can head straight from the airport to Wilfred's again! **As a side note, the attached photos are from two different visits, I think quite a few months apart. I usually forget to take photos as I'm too in the moment!!!!!!!!!!!

Stumbled across this place when we were going to go for dinner elsewhere and instead went here. We enjoyed cocktails, spam musubi, chicken wings, panko shrimp, salad and fried rice. Everything was very tasty and beautifully presented. We sat outdoors and enjoyed the nice weather. Service was friendly and attentive.

... " Eh " ... I LOVE a great tiki themed lounge. I have been asking my (local Napa resident) girlfriend to take me here each time we've driven by. We finally spontaneously made an appearance and it wasn't very busy, which was nice. To my disappointment..... not a lot of drinks with RUM. Sure, they have an array of options, but I want more rum forward cocktails. More IDK..... excitement.... more energy.... liven it up in here. It felt like just another restaurant with a little bit of fire effects, tiki torches, and a specific work staff attire. More options, more drinks, more themes, how about more vegetarian menu options? I'll give 4 stars since everything came out perfectly made, but for my overall experience? I was bored. The Key Lime Panna Cotta would have been exceptional if it wasn't swimming in a boat of whip cream. Thank you for reading!

Visited this spot looking for a fun theme girls night out. It was a hit! Food was good but wasn't anything special. I had the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl. The drinks were totally worth the trip here though! Delish and super cute novelty cups.

The face on the glass in the photo is what you can expect with the service and drink quality. 30 min on a Wednesday for a drink and the bar staff was rude. Also be ready to pre-pay before they start the order, Napa must have a super high dine and dash crime rate! Summary - one drink and we jumped! Sorry for the honest review, no chance to return.

So many mixed feelings! Loved the decor, the area, the vibe, and the food. Very disappointed with the portions and prices! We ordered a "drink for 2" but it was SOOO small and full of ice. So expensive too.. the spam fries were so small too. It came with about 7 "fries" and costed about $14. Overall with tip, we ended up spending around $40 for a drink and fries. Both were way too small to share. Still can't believe the drink thing!!!! SO overpriced

Had an awesome lunch here with friends. When we first arrived, we immediately fell in love with the tiki vibe. You can not be in a bad mood and be in a tiki bar/restaurant. We started with tiki drinks, of course while pursuing the menu. We decided on splitting some appetizers to have with our drinks. Coconut shrimp, fried plantains and Bao bun tacos. All were very good. Our server, Isabella was awesome! Very kind and helpful. 5 stars alone just for her!!

My friend and I arrived a little late but it was not a problem. We were greeted and seated within 2-3 minutes. This is a tiki bar so the Hawaii theme is a thing. We ordered drinks (On Island Thyme, Pink Palace & Manta Ray) view photo to for will review on each drink. We ordered a the PuPu Sample platter which came with (3 wings, 3 coconut shrimp, 2 smoked salmon rangoons & 2 Pork sliders) This sample with so tasty. It was more than my taste buds were expecting. The inside of this place is nice and clean as well. The customer service is great. We were checked in with our food and drinks as well. The only con about this place the flies were definitely in the building but granted the locations it makes sense. It wasn't too bad but just watch and cover your food. Would I come back? Yes, I would.

Located in the heart of downtown Napa, this is a nice spot for after you hit up the wineries. Service was OK, nothing out of this world. Their decadent, beautiful drinks are a fun must. Some of them I would skip like the mezcal one. The spam sushi was so unique especially if you've never had anything spam. The chicken katsu was moist and thinly cut but so good! The sliders were perfectly saucy. The crab rangoon had REALLY crab, not like most Asian restaurants where it's Krab with just cream cheese. Overall, a decent experience.

Would not return. Ordered a few drinks with the mug purchase. Drinks were all crushed ice so it's like drinking water. When brought it up to servers attention she went to the manager he did nothing . Server was nice it's the bar manager that gave mediocre service. I ordered the pineapple rice. It was good nothing to brag about . We loved the Hawaiian theme of the establishment is the reason we picked to go there.

We've been to Wilfred's Lounge several times. The ambience is amazing and the cocktails are delicious. We haven't tried too many of their dishes though but their desserts are pretty good. Service has always been outstanding - whether we're sitting at a table or at their bar. I love their merchandise: t-shirts are good-looking as are their tiki mugs.

Date of Visit: 8/26/2023 If you are not a wine drinker, I highly recommend this Tiki Bar in downtown Napa. Located right by the Napa River, the view from the patio of the restaurant is amazing! We made a same day reservation, and arrived at Napa at around 8pm. The outdoor patio with fireplace and indoor dining room decorated with pirates, carved wood, lovely mugs, with a theme of a welcoming Tiki Bar. Maximum Aloha $17 I got this cute Hawaiian cocktail with strawberry rum, lemon, cinnamon, hibiscus, prickly pear. On top of that is coconut banana cream, which gives a touch of sweetness. Blue Hawaii $15 We also got this refreshing blue hawaii cocktail with white rum, pineapple and lemon. Huli Huli Chicken Wings $18 For the food, we ordered the chicken wings in the appetizer section. Pineapple Fried Rice $23 And also the pineapple fried rice presented in 1/4 of a pineapple. Manta Ray $23 The Manta Ray cocktail was quite special. In the regular mug it is $23 but if you want it in the special Manta Ray mug, it is $90. This gin and rum based cocktail, with a sweet and sour taste of butterfly pea, pineapple and lemon!

Oh my goodness this place was fantastic! My husband and I LOVE Tiki bars. There's something about an escape that is just so desirable in the dead of winter so we decided to run over to Wilfred's to getaway for an evening. First off this place is SO cute! The jade tiles, mug collection, wood carved walls, rotating portholes and lighting give this place a special exotic feel. The music was fun and on theme and really added to the vibe. Everyone was so nice and friendly. Super attentive and answered all of my husband's questions with ease and knowledge. The food and drinks were also wonderful! We ordered a Waikiki Wipeout and a Laka's Lava Flow to share with our friends and then also tried the Mai Tai and O.G. Grog all of which were flavorful and delicious! We also shared a Pupu Sampler Platter, Firecracker Green Beans, Macaroni Salad and rice. The smoked salmon Rangoons were AMAZING! So yummy and innovative. The wings, shrimp and sliders were also so delicious and beautiful. The Mac salad and green beans were fantastic too and totally worth getting! Seriously everything was wonderful and I cannot wait to come back!

After reading some of the Yelp comments, the first thing I have to address is the ice contents. They are ridiculous. Crushed ice is a tiki staple, and, believe it out not, the more you have, the less watery your drink is. It keeps it cold. I don't know where people got this information, but as a bar tender, I want to slap anyone who complains about ice in a super high proof cocktail. It's an uneducated and ignorant opinion. If you know anything about tiki, you know their drinks are legit. Ok, that out of the way, the food we ordered was delightful. We got the pupu player, the mac salad, the shame rice, and the green beans. All of it was delicious. As everyone said, the decor was on point. The server was awesome, and the conversation I had with her and the bar manager was great. My wife, friends, and I will be back soon.

Came across this bar after a stroll in downtown napa and decided to stop by for a drink since it was so hot outside. We were immediately greeted by a hostess and asked if we wanted to sit indoor or outdoors. We'd asked if we could go upstairs since it had a covered patio with views overlooking the small creek/river. We were told that was open seating up there so we were welcome to take a look to see if there were any seats, which unfortunately there wasn't at that time. We came back down and the hostess was able to find us seats downstairs with no problem. The decors is so cute, down to every detail, and even in the staircase walking upstairs! I loved the drinks menu and the selection and just how cute every drink looked! We didn't try the food but the menu looked really good as well, so I'm looking forward to trying it next time! We all got different drinks off the specials menu, and they were all unique and different. I got the Uma Ube, which came in the cutest glass (didn't have to pay extra for, but we couldn't keep the glass) and was sooo delicious! Exactly what I was looking for -- cold, refreshing, sweet -- it tasted like a creamy tropical smoothie. We also shared a slice of the Ono Pie, which is basically an ice cream sundae in pie form, and it was sooo good! This was my first time trying that and I was immediately a fan! Overall, the service, the ambiance/decor/vibes, and the drinks were all spectacular and we had a great time!

My husband was crazy about his Poké bowl only wish there was more! And I got some kind of Cuban sandwich. I can't remember what it was called and it was delicious as well. We absolutely loved our waitress Isabella! It's so fun when you've lived in Napa for years, and you play the "name game" you know so many of the same people...It was just so fun visiting with her and reminiscing and laughing about old common friends! We love this restaurant! Check out their great deals online

Service was very very good. Food was mediocre for the price. Drinks leaned on sweet side. Fun tiki glasses. Ok tiki bar at best. Burger ok. Pineapple fried rice pretty good.

Some reviews mentioned drinks weren't good but that must have been an off day because we enjoyed ours including friends who are connoisseurs of fine rum. I enjoyed both of my drinks as well as the food and the reviews stating the coconut shrimp are a must are correct! Would def return!

I've been here 4 times and now service is always 10/10. On this most recent visit, my friend and I visited on Wilfred Wednesday. If you have a souvenir mug and bring it in, then your drinks are half off! We purchased our mug for the first time and because it of this, our first drink was free. Our server gave us great suggestions on drinks and I decided to get one on the menu that I hadn't tried. For food, we shared the pupu platter and 'ono pie. Everything we ate was great! If I had to critique anything, I liked the salmon rangoons, but wished they were crab. And the ice cream had hardened caramel drizzle over the top and it became tacky and unable to cut through. It would've been better served with the caramel mixed into the ice cream, but I understand the drizzle for aesthetic purposes. Overall, I'm so glad this place exists in Napa and I can't wait to visit on the next Wednesday!

We had a great time here!! We came for Saturday lunch specifically for the spam musubi, which my 6 year old gave it two thumbs up and inhaled most of her plate. My pineapple fried rice was very tasty, the cashews gave it a nice soft crunch. My son also loved his rice with spam. Hubby's steak and sweet potato fries was cleared out too. The food was sooo good! Service was quick and our server singing u bae bae baby still got us giggling this week. The place was beautiful overlooking the water.

Very cool place! Food and cocktails were on the mark. Service was great! We've been there twice so far and everything was consistent.

We figured we would try Wilfred's on a recent trip to Napa but that was a mistake. We wanted a break from the wine so we ordered some cocktails which were all very mid. The food definitely left something to be desired. My chicken Katsu was 3/5 stars, a good portion for the price. However, my friend ordered the pineapple fried rice... and holy moly was that just mushy and tasted like straight ginger. Rice was completely over cooked. I'll never come back.

Tiki Bar in downtown Napa... yes please! If you are looking for a nice Tiki Bar this is the place to stop at! It's right along the river and has some good views from the patio seating and outside deck.   The drinks and food are all island inspired. The drinks are made with fresh juices that they press daily as well as their own house syrups. I recommend trying the Blue Hawaii that has rum, pineapple, lemon, and blue curaçao. The food menu includes pupus small bites and range from wings to coconut shrimp, sliders, bowls and spam fries. The coconut shrimp is very yummy! For entrees this ranges from salads to fried rice to burgers, sandwiches and meat and seafood options. I've had the fried rice, which comes in a pineapple and it was good.   Happy Hour happens from 3-5 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. The menu includes a couple pupus options and cocktails, wine and beer. The cocktails are about half the price of their normal menu, which is a great deal. Tip: ask if the outdoor deck is open when you check in at the host stand. This is such a nice spot to enjoy a tiki drink and bite to eat on a lovely summer evening. I recommend stopping in when in Napa!

went here late night w a friend. nobody's there. it's dead. sat at the bar, the bar tender & couple of his friends yapping & drinking away instead of serving us, service slow when literally there's nobody. Food & drinks sucks tbh. not coming back. I can see this place going out of business. looks old & tired.
