This restaurant has been around for a long time and I was happy to see if was still as busy as ever on a recent trip to Napa. I dined here 15 years ago and loved it, so I was pleasantly surprised that it was every bit as good... (more)

It might be hard to find on Highway 29, but apparently everyone else found their way there with no problem. We arrived well after 8pm and still had a 40-minute wait. If you don't mind crowding around it bar, it may... (more)

Bistro DG's is not a haute food experience. It's menu is really a notch above what you might find at Olive Garden. But what they do they do well and it is always fun. Pizzas are wood fired and thin crusted. Pastas are made... (more)

Mediocre food, portions very small, prices too high for what you receive. Service unaccommodating. There are better restaurants in the area to spend your money at! (more)
