After wine tasting all day, it was nice to eat at Hydro Bar and Grill which was recommended by several people. I had the beef stew and my husband had the pork shoulder. Both meats were very tender and flavorful.

My husband enjoyed their wine and beer selections and really enjoyed their "award" winning burger but I had cream of mushroom soup that was flavorless and a greens salad that was also flavorless. I didn't finish either. The service was slow, requests for sweetener for...my tea and salt and pepper to try and give my soup some flavor were acknowledged but never provided even after multiple requests. They advertised live music, but there was none the Saturday night we were there.More

Had lunch here the day after Christmas. Reuben sandwiches were very tasty. Service was efficient and prices were very reasonable. Also had a side of Mac and Cheese that was nice and hot, cheesy and crusty on top! Can't ask for more. Will be back!

After eating in a lot of pretentious over priced restaurants across Napa Valley it was a treat to find Hydro Bar for lunch. Food was fresh and delicious and unlike many restaurants in the area, the food did not need to be covered in rich...sauce. Had the grilled chicken sandwich which was freshly cooked. The dressings were fresh and crispy. Just wish I found this place earlier in my trip. Staff were wonderful too.More

Can honestly say that was the worst dinner ever. I couldn't even eat it. It use to be a great place, but that was last year. Find somewhere else I did.

The Hydro Bar and Grill has been a go to for us for years for nibbles and drinks, but they have upped the anti lately! The food is less pub type (which they rocked and still have plenty of) and more fresh seafood/Mexican/American/cocktail friendly. You...can feel the attention to detail in every dish. Kudo's to the chef, bartenders and super attentive wait staff.More

We ate dinner at Hydro Bar and Grill in January 2022. The food was delicious. I had the ravioli alfredo, my husband the seafood pasta and my son a calzone. It was very good. Our waiter was very friendly and efficient. The restaurant is pleasant...and there is a very nice bar. We recommend it and will surely return ourselves.More

Ordered their ribeye and husband ordered the hamburger. He thoroughly enjoyed his burger and the greens, mushrooms and steak (or potato) made for a perfect bite!

Nice grill in town with great food. Katie was a friendly server and had good recommendations. I went with two appetizers because it was just that kind of day. The grilled artichoke was cooked to perfection with a great-tasting aioli sauce on the side. I...also had the bruschetta that was probably the best I have had, and this is one of my favorite foods. Not sure if it was the bruschetta that I loved so much of the amazing soft focaccia bread it was served on.More

They have a delicious selection for lunch and a nice drink menu as well. We ate the award winning Hydro Burger and it was very filling. At our table we also had the Reuben and the Pulled Pork sandwich with slaw. They were all amazing.
