The Pretentious Cafe needs to work on a lot of things. When we arrived at noon the place was not full and the wait staff could not care less if we wanted a table, basicly ignored. After we ordered. The entree arrived before the appitiezer the order was wrong and then the waitress argued on what I ordered. The food was very expensive for what you got. My NY Ruben was bland and had very little filling and the fries were cold. The tempura shrimp (appietizer served after the main course) was over cooked and it smelled like it along with the non-tempura coating tasting pasty. we won't go back.

1st time patron of this place. Nice location. Lots of outside shade umbrellas on a very hot day! I was disappointed with the Chinese Chicken Salad. I don't think there was even 1/2 of a chicken...

The food is pretty good, but the wait staff could be more attentive and the chef was yelling at people the whole time. I ordered a pesto pizza and was surprised that the base was marinara and blobs...

I guess if you're staying at the Napa River Inn this would be a cool place to check out since it's like 50 feet from it. It's basically just like any other napa-ish shop. I can walk in and out in...

As far as I'm concerned one of the greatest lunch spots in Napa that serves what I perceive as some of the heathiest and cleanest and no doubt meanest grinds in town. For instance, a soft spring roll...

After flying around in a hot air balloon, the people who run that business seem to have ties with the store here. So we had an early breakfast with the place pretty much to ourselves. Looks like it's...

Not a bad little place for lunch or a snack. They've got lots of little items you can buy in the store, but I didn't pay much attention to that. It has a nice location, situated in a quiet part of...
