We just had a short time between winery’s and because of the time we had didn’t want to go to a restaurant. My friend and I stopped at “The Culinary institute Napa”. 😱 The staff and the students were amazing, the food 😋 was even more amazing and guess what 🎊it was just what we needed before our next destination. I highly recommend visit…. #illycoffee

First thing first - really cute spot got the castle view stone work and classic dine in area
However for most people who come with high hope I’d sadly say it wasn’t satisfying enough.
Food Looks good and delicate by that I mean I was still hungry after the 5 course tasting menu.
That’s not my main complaint. I understand fancy food comes with tiny portion, that’s just the rule.
Flavor wise and pairing wasn’t mind blowing.
Taste good but I expect more transformative experience out of the price. No new flavor was introduced sadly.
I won’t advise people not to go if experience is more important for you. But after all you’re in Napa where you have many other good options to choose from if you’re after flavors.

Best kept secret for lunch! $10 sandwiches and salads and free sparkling water on tap in the little cafe. Super friendly service. You can walk around and see the cooking lecture halls and inquire about classes and camps. When students are in session you can also have a meal at the onsite restaurant. So historic and a a great local to pop into some of the large and historic wineries near by.

Great food with extensive wine list and selection. Enjoys the bar and the drinks if you need a quick fixed. Don't skip outdoor seating when the weather is on your side.
