Napa General Store

Really cool

Didn’t post winter hours. Drove 20 minutes to find out it’s closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. It’s not that hard.

I was highly dissatisfied with my experience. We were charged a large group party fee of 20% without being notified of this in anyway. We were only a group of five people anyway. They said that the notice is on the menu, but I did not see this when I double checked the menu. This was the brunch menu. When we asked about the confusion, they seemed so bothered that we were asking. We were essentially told that the fee is the tip for the server, but how do we feel confident this is actually going to the server? They removed the feed from our friends with whom we split the bill, but not on our own. I was not able to give any tip and furthermore, I was forced to pay 20% despite not being notified. What an awful experience. Oh, also, they were so baffled I asked to pay with two cards. It seems this would be normal and accepted in a place with visitors from around the world.

Located in downtown Napa, this is an institution that works as a general store/gift shop and restaurant with great food. We went to celebrate a birthday. I enjoyed the Chinese Chicken Salad which was delicious but with a little too much dressing. We ate on the outside patio which overlooks the beautiful Napa River and we enjoyed the excellent service.

Had lunch outside on a beautiful day of January. The food was great. The service was great, the ambience was excellent. Napa River Front is gorgeous!
