I want to give a huge shout out to the staff at Napa Cafe! I had my birthday dinner there last night and from beginning to end it was a great experience!
Glenda was welcoming and so helpful! She had on the cutest dress that fit her personality perfectly!
Chris and Danielle were amazing as well! They made sure that myself and my guest had everything we needed and were pleased with meals and beverages! Chris was well informed on the menu options and provided great recommendations!
The only thing I would say wasn’t at the top of my list was the purée that was served with the salmon! But smells and textures are a thing for me so to each their own with that one! The salmon was delicious. And the drinks were FIRE!!
Glenda even captured this amazing photo of us as we left!
Thank you all so much for a great experience.
Food is outstanding. That halibut was tender and delicious. The beurre blanc was soooo good! I finished with a chocolate martini which isn’t my usual but oh my goodness! So good!! Service is great. Nick is superb. Prices are reasonable for the experience.
This place deserves five stars. The staff, everyone from the hostess to the manager to the waitress were friendly, wonderful, and attentive. The food was amazing. I had the scallops. My husband had the halibut. My friends both had the crabcakes. Before dinner we had the blackened, shrimp dumplings, and the shrimp fritters. After that we had the watermelon salad before dinner. All of it was amazing. Go here and go often. Enjoy the food, service and hospitality.
I has the absolute best time here! The servers Sara & Ian were amazingly patient & friendly. Exceptional accommodations were provided!!! The owner, Ms Glenda, was so lovely. She made me feel like the most important guest in the world!! She made my birthday so special and had me crying tears of joy!! I will never forget their kindness!!
I had a great dinner here with a friend. The food was amazing. Had the sea bass and black rice! The manager had above top tier service. I hadn't seen my friend in person in 3 years and this was a catch up dinner and we talked until close as the last table but stayed out front to talk and think about the next spot to go and the manager offered us water and to stay so graciously. I then got bit by a mosquito and she even had bug spray for us. I really appreciate that time and the great meal and service. Definitely raved about it to everyone over the weekend
I made reservations for my husbands birthday, 11/3. It was our first time here. The reservation was for 6:15. The food was very good. I highly recommend the blackened shrimp dumplings with tomato bacon gravy. We also had the salmon and halibut dishes. Both entrees were very flavorful. Our waiter was friendly. He even suggested splitting the salad on two plates since we wanted one but not that much food. It made the perfect size. My concerns were that I asked to be seated in an area away from traffic and not under a blowing vent. We were seated at a main table in the midst of all commotion and directly under a cold, blowing vent. We were uncomfortably cold. (When I mentioned it, the owner was willing to move us.) The other concern was the length of time between seeing our waiter. There was a lot of waiting despite being front and center to the entrance and bar.
It was my wife's birthday last Saturday night on the 9th. I Made reservations for here. Both our 1st time. Must say I was impressed. The people were nice around us as well as the workers there. My wife thanked me for taking her here .. Good job guys. Will be back. Drinks was on point BTW.
Spectacular service, started with the reservation confirmation asking preferences, if we celebrating anything, etc. Waiter was extremely knowledgeable about menu and excited to help us with recommendations. Atmosphere was romantic. Our seating was somewhat private per my request. Everything tasted fabulous. This was our first time there, but definitely not our last. We had salmon, filet mignon, key lime pie and cream brule.
What an experience! Every detail of our time at Napa Café was thought out and captured the essence of Southern Hospitality. From the moment we walked up with the lush greenery outside and twinkle lights, to them pivoting to seat us outside (per our request), to the live relaxing music, to our knowledgeable server, Gary, the mouth watering food, and getting a restaurant tour from Glenda, it was delightful! We left with content hearts and stomachs. We will be thinking about our dinner for a long time... probably even dreaming about it. Thank you; it was truly lovely.
Another great dinner at Napa. I was treated as a belated birthday present, but I felt like I also did my friend a good turn by introducing her to the restaurant. She really enjoyed it and said she never had better crabcakes. She also loved the bread which, of course, I couldn't have. I wish some restaurant in Memphis would take a page from the French laundry and find somebody that can make them some good gluten-free bread. Good service, good time.
