HiFalutin is a family dream come true...Back in 1986, as we were creating a name for "Baggin's" (our gourmet sandwich shops), we came across the word "HiFalutin". The name seemed to encompass another dream that we had for establishing a unique, western-like restaurant- one that would be "a cut above" the rest. As that name danced in our heads for 16 years...it has inspired and shaped the creation we now share with you - "HiFalutin:". We hope you will enjoy "our dream" as much as we have enjoyed making it come true. We are a family - related by love, and a passion for great food and entertainment. Our hope is that you will have a "HiFalutin" experience as you kick back, relax...and enjoy the flavors of our favorite family

    The first thing you can't help to notice is the amazing remodeling that's taken place. The room has a great ambience & tasteful decor. New menus & a few intriguing new entrees. We split a generous amount of mussels as a shared app. Perfectly cleaned & cooked, a generous portion. They were cooked with sausage & seasoned with a zip. Crostini served for dipping. Gnocchi were new on the menu & they were quickly devoured. I asked the server if they'd make up a sandwich that's on lunch menu only. It's a simple turkey melt. Sounds pretty ordinary I admit but these folks serve one up so deliciously tender & juicy served with parmesian fries, yum. It would be nice at some point to have someone knowledable about wines to help develop more depth to their current selections & take on more substantial wines. But the quality of the food more than makes up for my spoiled wine habit. I've been going to Napa annually for about 50 years now, eating at some places with friends more than some of the locals. Food & service here, worth repeating.

    We enjoyed the food, French dip sandwich and the rotisserie chicken, but the service is what brings us back. Our server Brooke is outstanding and the other staff are really warm and friendly. Great place to spend your evening.
