We LOVED our dinner at Press and say it's one of our best meals ever! We were seated inside and the decor is a mix of modern/chic/industrial which was very unique. The service was very friendly and speedy but it was the food that took center stage!! The crab & lobster cake app was delicious with huge chunks of meat... More

The decision to try out the Press was influenced by the Tripadvisor rating and reviews. We were not disappointed. We found the Service wonderful. Our waiter, Stephen, was pleased to answer any questions we had about the menu. He had the Sommelier come to our table when he thought she could better answer questions on the wines. And she was...

Press was a cool experience. The steak menu was long, varied, and very impressive. The rib eye was excellent, cooked perfectly. Press has everything from strip steaks to Waygu beef. The restaurant is styled like a traditional Napa farmhouse. The only drawback is the pricing. Press is very expensive, slightly overpriced for what you get. But, overall, an excellent meal.

There were 9 of us and everyone loved our experience. Service was outstanding as well as the food. The little cheese biscuits were a favorite. Make sure to order the chocolate soufflé.

The Service of this restaurant is impeccable. Four Seasons Style. The 3 times we ate there it was a wonderful experience. The quality of the ingredients is excellent. From the bread and butter to the coffee and desert. The butter lettuce salad is to die for. The sauteed spinach served in the small containers is super tasty. The fries are... More

Had a great meal paired with excellent local wines! The steak and the crab cakes were awesome! The only drawback was the place got a bit loud for us.

The steak is probably the best I've ever had and we would definitely return, but the service was not good. Place definitely has a snooty feel to it. Towards the end of the meal, my husband and I both got up to visit the restroom and they cleared our table - including pouring out what was left of a very... More

Excellent menu and wine list. We had a beautifully cooked steak, accompanied by a wonderful Napa cabernet with a few years' age. The sommelier was very knowledgeable, and we actually purchased some of her recommendations whilst in Napa.

The steak was truly terrific but we had to sit through long wait times, unprofessional service, and loud drunk businessmen to enjoy it.

We went to Press and had a wonderful meal in a great atmosphere! My husband said it was one of the top 5 steaks he's ever had in his life! Expensive, but our food was worth the price! The service was great and they gave us a cozy table next to the fireplace. If you are a steak lover, make... More
