The food is excellent, waiting staff attentive and professional, the downstairs and bar are very comfortable, well put together. The only area for improvement is the upstairs. If unfortunate enough to not be seated downstairs, then you'll have just a average setting. A great restaurant doesn't have a 'please seat us downstairs' section. Quality other than that. more

Be prepared to dine in Napa's best restaurant! Book early and arrive hungry! You will NOT be disappointed! The owner / professional chef, Greg, will ensure that your dining experience is second to none. We had fabulous steaks and lamb! Do not leave Napa Valley without dining here! It truly was an experience which we will remember for a long... more

Visited for the first time mid-week and had a delicious, perfectly cooked filet in a red wine mushroom sauce. Atmosphere was more casual than steak places I'm used to, but at one table a family of 4 was in their running shorts and windbreakers which I thought was really tacky. I'm a casual person, but think you should have a... more

This is a fantastic 'old world San Francisco' atmosphere...with trendy touches..It is difficult to get a table, but sitting at the bar waiting is a pleasure...the portions are very large so splitting is perfect for two unless someone has a voracious appetite...the pork chops are the best anywhere...tender and served exactly the way you order.the wait staff is there to... more

I had the filet, which was--for a medium--done a bit rare for my liking. That was about the only complaint anyone in our party had, however, of the food. Many of their 'sides' are served family-style, so don't order these unless you a) have a party of at least four, or b) plan on taking serious leftovers home. Well-maintained dinner... more

Great wine list, very mediocre food. We found all of Napa to be insanely priced with mediocre everything else. The locals around Napa all love Coles Chop House, but apparently they do not get out much. Cole's only has two (2) USDA Prime steaks on the menu. One is a NY Strip (which I never order) and the other is... more

Good decor, typical top of the line new American steak house. Women wore dresses and men dressed preppy. My husband liked his $35 dollar steak. I had the brie appetizer which i though was only ok, next time I would order the Cesar salad which looked great. I had the baked potato which was huge and mushroom side. I am... more

I celebrated my birthday at Coles last night, as I did in 2006. Being a registered dietitian, and having> 25 years experience in the foodservice industry, I can be pretty picky when it comes to my dining experience. Everything was sublime from the arugala and roasted corn salad, to the grass fed 21 day aged ribeye (cooked perfectly as... more

This is not my favorite steakhouse among those I've gone to, but some in our party said it was the best steak they had eaten. Some pretty stiff rules about reservation cancellation, and an astonishing $25 per bottle corkage fee. Particularly since many of the wineries say the price has gone down for that given the recesssion and the desire... more
