   We sat on the patio for a Saturday evening date. There were only 2 umbrellas so most tables were in full sun. A large party next to us asked to move inside because it was too hot. It has a nice outdoor bar but it was closed. Limited menu options available however what we ordered was very good ( sushi nachos, cheeseburger, beet salad, and chocolate cake to go) the cocktails were good but overall everything was very overpriced. We frequented this restaurant when it was on DuPont circle. I’m sad to say we probably won’t go back again.

   This was a slow evening for Napa so the noise was quite low. The food was excellent with a goat cheese starter. My two companions split the special which was a steak for two and they bot agreed it was one of the best they had ever tasted. I had delicious tomato soup with a cobb salad that was just enough and very tasty. Desert was crème brûlée and it was just enough as well. Not cheap but everything was worth the cost.

    The food tasted great but it was NOT plentiful. The appetizers and sides were in extremely small portions. Atmosphere was great. Service excellent. Presentation of food beautiful but I want to get enough food for what I pay. Drink and dessert prices in excess.

    We brought a party of eight for dinner. I moved away from Louisville but always loved Napa River Grill. The Caesar Salad was always amazing in the Parmesean Cheese bowl so to say I was disappointed this is no longer served that way would be an understatement. The salad did taste wonderful but was lacking that special touch from days gone by. People in our party had the Red Fish special and my husband and I had the glazed pork chop and they were cooked well and had a great taste. My rating is mostly affected by no longer offering the Parmesean Bowl. The service was good but it took an hour and a half for our entree to be served. We weren't in a rush but I found the length of time surprising. Would I eat there again? Yes, but it will no longer by a priority of mine when coming to town.

    We had a celebratory birthday lunch for 2 (out of 4) of us. Our waiter, David, was very patient and attentive. We were there for a couple of hours to visit and eat and he took our cue when we wanted to order, etc. As a special treat-the chef prepared for the 2 birthday ladies a beautiful Happy Birthday plate (handwritten in chocolate!) with a brownie and ice cream and berry garnish-just lovely. David kindly took our photo as well. A lovely lunch!

    Sunday brunch. We were seated in the back room by ourselves possibly because we had requested outdoor seating and it ended up raining so there was little ambiance. The made to order Benedict and omelettes were good but the buffet wasn’t anything special. I usually love napas desserts but the items on the buffet were run of the mill cookies and brownies. I’ll just stick to dinner from now on🙁

    we made reservations through open table and were seated right away but waited 15 minutes to be even approached by a waiter to take our drink order. We never got water and it took 10 more minutes to get the drinks. Then we waited another 25 minutes because we wanted to order dinner and asked another waitress to get our waiter so we could order. He never came so we left and went to another restaurant to eat. I understand being understaffed but as we left he was waiting on another table. I will never go back. Where was the manager?? Pitiful. I have nvre given a bad review bfore.

    The server was new but doing her best… she was nervous. Service was a little slow but within tolerable range. Issue with fountain machine and stated all drinks were flat and she won’t order one. Easy fix, go to store and buy drinks for the night versus having no option. My entree came out with my salad which is something I don’t like.

    Father’s Day Our reservation was for outside dining due to the beautiful weather. The furniture is extremely uncomfortable and not in the best condition . It seems like the restaurant has gone downhill. The service was terrible. Food just okay. One meal sent back twice. So disappointing as this use to be a wonderful restaurant.

    We booked a table for 6 at 1:45pm on Father’s Day (6/19/22). Nowhere on OpenTable website did we see it mention that the restaurant from 11-2pm was buffet only. I did not go to Napa River’s website because I always use this site for reservations and have never had much of a problem. We got seated at 1:45… took a few minutes to get a waiter to stop and ask us our drink order. Brought water and then disappeared. Other waiter stopped by a few moments later and asked if we’d gotten our drink order place. We weren’t told what drinks were available without asking and weren’t told it was “buffet only” at any point. We waited a good 10 minutes before realizing we weren’t getting menus. We had to ask our server if it was buffet only. He said yes and they start shutting it down at 2pm. Why would any restaurant seat a table at 1:45pm for a pricey buffet that shuts down and stops brining out food at 2pm?? We were very disappointed to not have an alternative suggested or even the waiter check with the chefs to see if they would still be refilling the picked over items or not. We felt like we were just expected to pay full price (again, for 6 people) and eat what was leftover or leave. We chose to leave. Not great service at all!!! Don’t seat a table 15 minutes before the end of a buffet without that table being able to enjoy all of the items available if you intent on charging them the same price that everyone else was charged. What a waste of money and letdown that would have been had we actually stayed. Again, weren’t offered any other alternatives from server except for a “sorry” and a shoulder shrug. Could have asked a manager if there was something they could do to compensate, especially being on Fathers Day with two dads who were looking to enjoy a steak dinner. Very disappointed in what we felt should have been such a nice place to celebrate.

    Unfortunately, our first visit to the restaurant was not a good experience. We had planned a fun Family Father's Day outing with lunch and a movie. When we arrived, we were seated in an area that was overly crowded, even though other tables were available. We waited at least 15 minutes at the table before someone came to greet us and get drink orders. We were told the buffet was the only thing available, the food was cold, it was picked over, people were using their fingers to pick up bacon, and desserts, there was cold eggs, cold sausage, cold gravy but no biscuits. The 2 good food items on the buffet where the pancakes and the fruit. They did offer a few other items but honestly, they did not look good either. I wish we would have got up and left but I felt most places would be booked with it being Father's Day and I had decided we would try some place new to eat at but it was a mistake, a $130.00 mistake. I am not a fan of buffets especially with everyone dipping and using the same utensils and no one cleaning up and maintaining for new customers as they arrive. It took forever to get our breakfast drinks and we did not receive any refills on our water. We only saw the waitress 3 times, when we got our drinks, when we ask for butter because the butter at the buffet was being used by everyone and it honestly looked disgusting, I dont think they had anyone who was cleaning up and making things sanitary, and of course at the end of our stay we saw the waitress when we paid. There was food spilled all over the buffet, hair on the tablecloth at the buffet. We had to ask another waiter to get us some water to try and finish our meal which was on a scale of 1-10 probably a 3 to be fair. It was truly disappointing and a waste of our time and money.
