Overall Rating 3.0 out of 5 (Good)
"Wine Spectator was a pleasant experience. Nicely priced wine selection for being in Wine Country. We were surprised to find out that the restaurant had nothing to do with the culinary institute, or its students. The food itself was very good, but the waiter didn't contribute at all to the evening."

"while there i enjoyed the apple salad with Walnuts as well as the hangar steak. The steak was delicious. I enjoyed the customer service though i wish i could have been served by the students there so i could be apart of their learning environment it would have enhanced the idea of going to a culinary school."

"My husband and I greatly enjoyed our dining experience at the Wine Spectator Greystone Restaurant. The food was very good and the service was prompt and friendly. The wine list was also notable--very extensive. My husband mentioned we were on our honeymoon, so the pastry chefs wrote "Congratulations" in chocolate on our dessert plates."

"We enjoyed our meal - tried all that was different and found each offering better than the last... We missed the outdoor dining - but am sure it would have been a great experience and we missed the view - it was too dark.. but it looks like it would have been beautiful.... I would recommend this experience to the adventurous diner!"

"Have been many times to this restaurant and it is one of my all time favorites, everything on the menu is excellent! The best thing in my mind is the chef's appetizer selection. It's $9.95 per person and you get 5 bite size appetizers each and they are always really good! Enjoy!"

Overall Rating 3.0 out of 5 (Good)
"We didn't like the menu; therefore, we only ordered appetizers and dessert. Appetizers were o.k. Well presented dessert with birthday candle as requested. The nice writing "Happy Birthday" on the plate was unexpected-- a very pleasant surprise. My boyfriend really enjoyed his birthday dessert. Menu (appetizer and entree selection) could have been better. Nice ambience. Overall good experience."

Review 7 for Wine Spectator Greystone Restaurant

Overall Rating 1.0 out of 5 (Poor)
"Unfortunately, this was one of the worst dining experiences that I've ever had. I've eaten several times at the Culinary Institute in Hyde Park, NY and have found the experience to be outstanding each time. Thus, I went to the Greystone with high expectations.

There were four people in our party and none of us had food that was good. One person in party had to send his "skirt steak" back because it was too tough to "cut" with a serated knife. My wife prepares scallops at home that are far superior to the ones that I had for dinner at the Greystone.

In summary, the $200 that I spend for food would have been far better spent on wine. We will never return to this restaurant and will only recommned it to our worst enemies.

Review 10 for Wine Spectator Greystone Restaurant

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"We lunched twice at "The CIA" during our week in Napa. Awesome! The Butternut Squash Soup was amazing, as were the Pumpkin Empenadas. The Hangar Steak and Short Ribs were my husband's two favorite lunches. Really, a wonderful time, as always. The only downside was the switch to Illy coffee from the local Calistoga roaster previously used. Miss that local flavor."

Review 11 for Wine Spectator Greystone Restaurant

Overall Rating 2.0 out of 5 (Fair)
"The food was good, but not as creative as what I expected from a restaurant associated with a cooking school. The have an excellent wine list. Our waiter could be best described as cool and indifferent towards us, and this is what pushed a good to very good experience into a poor one. He could not be engaged in any type of conversation regarding the menu, etc. and essentially treated us as if we were an inconvenience to him. This did not seem to be the case with some other tables around us, so perhaps there was something personal going on, who knows. After having our food flung unceremoniously in front of us for 2 hours we left a little confused and disappointed."

"As it was one of the top ten napa restaurants, we were not disappointed in choosing to dine here. The apple salad was different and tasty as were the entrees we selected. Both the flavors, preparations and presentations made for a very enjoyable meal. Would certainly go back as there were several things on the menu I didn't get a chance to try."

Overall Rating 2.0 out of 5 (Fair)
"This was one of those, not what you expect experineces. Food was not bad horrible just not notable; the CIA should not serve lettuce with a few spots of goat and lemon juice dressing. We expected that a place that is supposed to be training to be renown chefs of the world would have been more of a dining experience especially at the price point; though it was not too pricy. Service was poor at best; we asked our 15 year vet server for Bordeaux glasses as replacement for our basic Chardonnay glasses and were treated with disdain (drinking red) asked for butter and she pointed to oil on the table we were already using. It was loud; would have been ok with kitchen sounds culinary noise but all we heard were the exhaust fans for the hoods."

"Very fun place. Great building and overall setting. Staff while arranging for reservations and looking into issues regarding accessibility were quite helpful. Our waiter was very efficient but not particularly engaging or friendly. It was fun to be able to watch some of the chefs cooking and even to be able to talk to them. All the dishes were quite delicious. We liked the opportunity to order three mini-glasses of wine for a tasting and assortment of appetizers. It was folly, however, to think it would be sufficient to order appetizers for two when there were four of us: the excellent morsels were quite small. The serving sizes were on the smaller side as well, but we all appreciated the trend toward less massive portions."

"Wonderful dining and since it's a culinary school they are all practicing for you to see. Very open layout with all of the kitchen and bar areas visable around the eating area. Very nice patio area with view of vinyards but you have to get there early to sit outside. The food was tasty in small portions, highly recommend the "small bites" appetizer."

Overall Rating 3.0 out of 5 (Good)
"It had been awhile since we dined at Greystone but a special birthday meal was in the offing. I must say, I was not terribly impressed. The food was very good, and the setting can't be beat if you want a true wine country experience, but the service was a bit on the spotty side (the waiter couldn't seem to get the cork out of an older bottle of wine in one piece) and the space is noisy, albeit fun to see and be seen. The restaurant has a nice terrace for dining - very rustic, and we would have eaten there but our daughters prefer inside dining. There is an open kitchen adding to the hustle (and noise) but fun to watch everyone cooking your dinner. For a Saturday night during the crush season (October) the place was not near full. Humm."

"We have been dining here awhile now and it seems the food preparation can be hit and miss in terms of temperature when arriving at your table. Quality is very good, but soup and entree's should be piping hot in my opinion. Tasting temptations are always a wonderful culinary delight/surprise. Deserts are consistent on flavor and variety. Service is somewhat inattentive and slow. Overall, If you are visiting St. Helena, this is a good spot for some innovative dining."

"Greystone was definitely a find. As a Culinary Institute, the food was exceptional. My husband found the tenderloin to be second only to the Palace Arms in Denver, and my pasta with mushroom cream sauce was probably the best I've had anywhere. Though still pricey, we would have paid at least one and a half times more for food in other fine restaurants."

"The pumpkin empanadas we had had a good masa harina flavor, however, the dough overpowered the pumpkin quite a bit. The butternut squash soup was fresh and very smooth. The chicken was very tender. The pear ginger drink was overpowered with pear nectar. Not much for service."

"The food did not live up to our expectations. Only one dinner entree was considered very good by our party of four(seared scallops over fresh corn). The tasting plate again had only one item out of five that was tasty (a fried green tomato)...how exciting is a piece of fresh mozarella with olive oil and cherry tomatoes? Also,someone had a very heavy hand with the salt in the kitchen. Our waiter was wonderful and the service was great but we were so disapointed with the food that we left without ordering dessert. This was supposed to be our "nice" dinner in the wine country and a special treat for two marathon runners :("

"Had a lovely dinner in early October 2009 - no students on duty - out of session. Wonderful waiter. Had Alaskan Salmon - fabulous. My sister had to send back her mushroom pasta for reheating - but once it came back hot - she loved it! Creme Brulee very nice - strawberry crepes tasteless. I would go back!"

"It was dark and rainy but there is a nice outside patio which I am sure is scenic and delightful in good weather as it overlooks a section of vineyards.

The food was superbly prepared with multiple layers of flavors which made each bite a marvelous taste experience. The wine list is exceptionally nice with good choices in all pocket book ranges. The kitchen and bar are open so you can watch the food preparation, which makes for good entertainment as well.

There is no carpeting and the openness of the room creates some background noise which is tolerable and does not detract from conversation.

I guarantee we will take friends there again

"We had a wonderful time eating an early dinner at the restaurant. Our patio table overlooked the hills and we saw the sunset. We ordered the sampler menu of appetizers first, the "Temptations," which were very good, and then had a main course and side. The items were creative and fun. We liked sampling different items. It was very romantic after a nice day of wine tasting."

"We were quite disappointed, unfortunately. We believe it to be overpriced for the quality of the food and the service was also disappointing. Except for the bread service nothing was attended to and request for a refill on coffee was ignored. The salads were OK but overpriced. Our main entrees were also unsatisfactory. The salmon was served with a nice accompaniment but the salmon itself was very hard to find on the plate. The chicken was a fried mess.

We have been to the CIA resturant in Hyde Park, New York and the dining experience there was well worth the price. We also attended the cooking school of a local junior college and we believe the experience there was far and above this experience.

"We have eaten at the CIA in Hyde Park, NY several times.
This was a wonderful additional experience.
We were hoping the staff would be mostly CIA students but that was not the case.
Evidently they only have about 100 students and therefore not enough to continuously staff
this fine dining restaurant.
The staff was very professional and enthusiastic but we missed the informal discussions with the student staff (highly professional) at the several different restaurants at the Hyde Park location.
The food was superb and fairly priced. The wine list is a treasure without trying to overwhelm any ones wallet.
Great place and great if you like to watch the kitchen action. We had an early dinner so our service was superb. As the action hea

"Very disappointing. The dishes were boring and some, not even cooked properly. We were expecting so much more from the CIA. Also the ventilation system is awful. There was a constant smell of burnt oil in the air instead of the aromas one would expect. Service was just so so. There are so many better restaurants in Napa Valley that are not nearly as expensive. The ambiance of this beautiful building was not enough to make up for the very ordinary meal. It was so much better years ago.... I hope they can regain what has been lost."

"With eager anticipation we were looking forward to celebrating our tenth anniversary dinner at the CIA. The server was hovering and overbearing and was not knowlegeable about the wine list nor helped with explaining the menu. The food was fried and greasy and not the quality of food we would find acceptable at any restaurant and less so from one that categorizes itself as a premier dining establishment. It was big disappointment and we would not consider returning or recommending this restaurant."

"The food was tasty and the setting was very interesting. The room looks like it could be an early 1900s convent converted to a newer purpose yet our guide earlier in the day said that it was all purpose built when the school was established in St. Helena. The corn soup was very tasty. The pumpkin empanadas, while good, didn't really shine. The pan seared scallops were perfectly cooked and the special mushroom & pasta was excellent fresh and when the leftovers were consumed the next day."

"3rd time here over approx. 4 years (2nd dinner and have also done lunch); it's always at the top of my list when spending the night in Napa Valley. The food is just across-the-board magnificent. I especially like the appetizer tasting option, mini-bites of five different delectable treats. The view of the kitchen is fantastic from the bar - fast and furious - all in all, I really, really like this place. Only slight negative is that the service can be uber formal - not bad, just not as genuinely warm as what I consider "Great service.""
