My wife and I live in the SF Bay Area and never miss having a meal at the Rutherford Grill after a round of golf in the Napa area. Our fave dishes are the grilled artichoke appetizers, the bbq spareribs, french dip sandwiches, grilled seasonal veggies, and the cookie ice cream dessert. We bring our own bottle of wine (no... more

Ok, we have been coming to this restaurant for a long time on our trips to Napa Valley. We always order the Prime Rib sandwich, split it, and order the grilled artichoke. We think it is plenty for 2 (if you are not a real big eater). We finish with the oreo cookie ice cream sandwich desert. It is the... more

This was our first trip to Napa Valley and were glad we used Trip Advisor when picking out this restaurant. We arrived and had to wait about 45 minutes to be seated but the outside patio was a beautiful place to hang out and wait. We ordered the pork ribs and the steak and enchilada platter. The ribs were probably... more

We waited about ten minutes for a table at the Rutherford Grill on a Tuesday afternoon, which of course is not a long time, and it was certainly worth it. Our lunch was wonderful, service was great, and we sat and talked for about two hours. If we hadn't left the valley the next morning, we would have gone back... more

We tried this as locals recommended it and just happened to make it between crowds of people waiting for a table (we got lucky because there usually are lines). I had the hacked chicken salad and my husband had the ribs. All in all, it was a very enjoyable meal -- food was very fresh and served quickly, plus the... more

We needed some food to absorb some of our wine tastings. Perfect choice at the recommendation of a local hotel. Great service at the bar (we skipped the wait for a table and chose the bar - same menu) Reasonable pricing (OK we had just spent a few days in San Fran - so, by comparison ... ). And the... more

We arrived in Napa Valley late afternoon on the first Sunday in October last year, and stayed at Rancho Caymus almost next door (see separate review). So this was our first dinner in Napa Valley -- and what a great choice it was -- maybe the best while we were in the Valley. I realize that there are several more... more

We went here for lunch in between our wine tastings. I didn't make a reservation because I didn't know what time we'd be in the area, but were able to sit at the bar immediately when we got there. The service was great, and the food even better. We ordered the grilled artichoke because everyone around us said we had... more

We did a 5 day SF/Napa trip with 8 of us in celebration of my 50th. We ate at some of the finest restaurants and yet I think we all favored our lunch at the Rutherford Grill. The food was amazing, the service was great, and the atmosphere was fun. Hard to imagine having a slab of pork ribs for... more
