Best Wine Bars in American Canyon

Overall everything was really lovely! The restaurant is in a nice downtown location (we are locals). Plenty of free ways to park and easy to find.  I found the seating is comfortable, tho as a 5’10” woman in a booth I felt like a child, the seats did sink me a bit low. Maybe shore that up a bit. :) One note, we were sitting by the door that goes to the restroom on a cold night is quite breezy and cold. The food was AH MAYZING!!!! We had Cesar salad, real dressing and anchovies- the real deal, lamb shank was to die for melted off the bone, carrots not over. Poked, butter melted over, really good!! Also had scallops, with lobster sauce husband loved it!! Desert plentiful in choice, cappuccino was bitter but I asked for heavy cream and that smoothed it out, sometimes it’s just your pallet. The crab appetizers were obviously not fresh rather frozen not tasty, so would pass on those. Couple of things I would note to the restaurant … One thing is aesthetics , I know there’s might not be a budget for flowers. You had a lot of fake big fake flowers around and also on the table. You might want to make the exception and put a nice single (real) rose on the table. It really classes up the joint. Another note to the staff, the bus girl hovered around while I was eating and made me feel like she was watching me eat, and kept asking me if I was done?? (to clear my plate) I wasn’t done. I like to put my knife and fork down, have a conversation drink some wine and then eat again. Also she cleared my husband‘s plate before I was finished eating, which really makes one feel rushed. I’m also European so that is not something we do in the EU it is typically an American thing. So just a thought to allow people at the table to finish their meals before you clear the table :) “Carpe Diem”, will allow people to relax and enjoy fantastic meals with a beautiful single rose in a romantically lit restaurant by the Napa River Xox

Wonderful dinner the bistro is consistently good. Enjoy you will love it!

Subtle elegance is what you get with Compline. From the ambiance of the restaurant to the service and definitely not least, the food. We partook of the 6 course chef’s tasting with a wine pairing and it was such a pleasure. Our servers spoiled us with their attention to our comfort. Our Sommelier entertained and educated us along with our wine pairing which was spot on. The chef, Edwin, came table side and described our dishes as we were being served. EVERY course was delicious with their tomato soup and smoked short ribs Stars of the show. We are fans of chef’s tastings and pairings. Having dined at Foray, Le Petite Canailles, Press, Protege, Single Thread and French Laundry, Compline definitely holds its own in this lineup. Bravo !! We look forward to dining with you again.

Brunch was great. Portions were large and our server was amazing.

Jim was so sweet and knowledgeable for being there since November. The wine making Dan came out said hello and we met his team, it was so informative and personable!
