"We went to this restaurant on the recommendation from friends. We were very impressed with the whole process from reservations, reminder call, checking in, wait staff the wine and of course the food. Food was incredible, all entrees arrived just as they were ordered. Wait staff was in tune to what was needed but we never felt as if they were hovering. Great experience all around."

"Cole's Chop House is a Napa Valley treasure. Whether you're in the mood for steak, pork, lamb or seafood - even vegetarian, they've got it all covered. They have the best rack of lamb and lobster in the valley. Our server, Patrick seems to know what we want and when we want it before we even do! There should be some kind of annual award in the valley for this level of professional, yet friendly service. Management always makes time to stop by to make sure you are satisfied with your experience. Right to the end, bananas foster, it's spectacular. Make your reservation today!"

"The place was awesome. My steak had a little gas flavor to it, which I am not a fan of. I ordered wine and got a bottle well below what I wanted. I was curious why I was never asked about wine again and now I know. They were confused about what I ordered and didnt think we were interested in wine. Overall it was a good night and my company was impressed."

Food was delicious and hot, just the we like it served. The restaurant has a great ambiance and everyone was fun and

"Filet mignon 10 ounce was something I could have expected from Outback. It lacked flavor, juiciness and texture was odd. The very high ratings and reviews Cole's receives is quite surprising. Luckily we had ordered mushrooms with our 2 filet's otherwise they would not have been palatable. The restaurant is very nice and service was good but unfortunately I will not be back."

"We really enjoyed the ambience of this restaurant. The open ceilings gave it a unique look and feel, giving the somewhat formal restaurant a more relaxed feel. The service was fantastic - friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. The menu was great! Excellent choices and portion sizes that matched the prices. We have a favorite steak restaurant at home, where we are very used to receiving excellent, personal customer service. Cole's did a great job of matching it!"

"We had set up the reservation up on OT because of the menu and location (essentially next door to Napa Valley Opera House) but were relieved when several locals assured us we had made a great choice. No surprises -- good steaks, sides, wine list, etc. The atmosphere will never be confused with Ruth's Chris -- it's in a hipper, retro older style building. My preference in steakhouses is to bring all steaks out on a sizzler or very hot inner plate. They did not do this but the steak was plenty warm anyway."

"We had a reservation at 7pm. We had to wait 20 minutes and were finally seated. But the entire time we were waiting around for our "reserved" table, the lady at the front treated us like we were nothing. No apology that the table was not ready, no communication as to what was going on. We finally felt like we were valued guests when a gentleman in the suit came over to our table to thank us for our patience. The waiter was great with description of all of the specials. The way he talks about each dish / food was mouth watering and made us want to order one of each... Excellent food, the steak and the beef Wellington were to die for."

"I was in Napa on business and decided to give this place a try since I was craving a good filet mignon. So I got the petit filet and it was okay. Not the best I've had and not the worst. Still trying to figure out if it was worth the money though. One filet and one glass of wine ran me $56. And keep in mind they serve their filet by itself. Nothing else on the plate. If you want a side, veggie or sauce you have to order that extra. With as much as they charge for their food, you think they could throw in a few measly pieces of broccoli or asparagus. So I give this an all around three stars for everything. I wasn't impressed."

"I was there with a party of 6 and the food was pretty good but the waiter had a big chip on his shoulder and was very inattentive to our group though we spent plenty of money and it was all of our anniversaries. I must say the manager or man that stopped by to check on us when we first got there was great! I wish he was our waiter. Would have been a great experience if the waiter was better."

"Cole's is "downtown" Napa right on the water front. The charm and beauty of it remind you on a classic steakhouse with the feel of Napa.
Our server was amazing. The food was perfect. We were not rushed and could have sat there enjoying our wine for hours!

"This was our second visit to Cole's, and it's clear that this is going to become a regular stop on our visits to the Napa Valley. Our party of six arrved about 15 minutes early for our reservation and were seated at a table on the upstairs balcony overlooking the main dining floor within a couple of minutes of arrival. The atmosphere is casual yet classy, and the restaurant itself is actually quite large. The wait staff was courteous and attentive, but the real stars of the show were the wondeful smells emanting from the open kitchen downstairs (along with the food that followed). We started with shrimp coktail for all six of us, and the preparation (just lightly charred and seasoned) was superb. The cocktail sauce with endives was som"

"The service and atmosphere was great. My wife and I both had steaks and salads which were extremely salty but still edible. Hoping it was just ours. It was our five year anniversary which we told the hostess when we got in. When we were given our deserts, the staff and manager came by and said happy anniversary. Thanks!"

Family size sides make it a difficult place for a business traveller to eat alone.

"The steaks were great . My wife salmon was very good but she could not eat it all. We also had the thin cut onion fries I would call them onion strings. they were so good that I did not need a dessert. The services was very good also. They seem to really happy that we were there."

"Fantastic!!!! I visited this restaurant about 2 years ago and was unable to get back to Napa but this time it was a priority to go and we loved it. Thank you. I requested a round table upstairs, got it!! I called to try to get in earlier and the Manager called me back and said come on in. Just great start to finish. I will be back for sure on my next visit to Napa Valley."

"Had a wonderful birthday dinner for husband, two older kids (11 and 16) entirely appropriate, they loved it (especially the 16 year old carnivore). Glad we read previous reviews and had the hash browns with onions as side, and saved room for dessert which we don't usually care about! Service was great and excellent with the kids, wouldn't take toddlers but just fine for older kids. And as everyone notes-- $$$$$$$ but if you know that going in, the sticker shock is minimized."

"overated in my opinion. The normal steak place but not nearly on par with others like Morton's or Flemings. Steaks were tasty and cooked correctly but the NY strip I had was shot through with tough gristle and fat and not enjoyable at all. Béarnaise sauce tasted like something out of a can or jar. Sides and starches were fine. This place has got to keep in mind that there are many other restaurants competing with them. We will not be back and will not recommend the Chop House."

"One of the best meals we have had in as long as we can remember. The service was timely but not overpowering. The house wines were superior. We will return next time we are in Napa....I presently reside in Texas and my brother and sister reside in Wyoming. The three of us meet every three years in Napa to enjoy the new wines and dine on the diverse foods. Thank you for a memorable evening."
