Nice staff and professional service. Me and my partner met up with friends for dinner in Napa, and this was their recommendation. The food was flavorful, and the presentation was beautiful. Don't come expecting full portions, because this is more of a tasting menu. Our friend is also a wine connoisseur so we ended up with a $100 bottle of delicate red wine on our table. The perfect fine-dining experience!

Excellent food, outstanding service. Good value for your money. My new favorite. They have limited reservations right now but they promised things will start moving in January 2022, soon as they get more Culinary students. We had a fabulous dinner experience❣️

The place is beautifull.
Unfortunatly we disappointed from the food. The dishes are too small, and are only "nice" nothing more. The prices very high and we did not enjoyed and had a culinary adventure.. i would not go back.

Truly delightful meal. Wonderful blend of flavor and textures, great wine pairings and to know that you're helping train tomorrow's f&b professionals is such a good sensation. All around, this is more than a meal, it's an experience and is really a bargain all elements considered.

Great food to try just little bit pricey per course. Cooked by the students of CIA. You need to make a reservation by call. Nice setup table and great service.

Great food prepared by culinary students. Their bread is amazing and each coarse was mind blowing. Would highly recommend anyone in this area to eat here!

You cannot beat this place for value for dollar. You're going to get the food from chefs that are going to be at your favorite restaurant, just at a much reduced price. For dinner, being able to get four courses for $55 is incredible treat in Napa. It is one of my must stop places when we are visiting various wineries that we are members of.

Torn between three and four stars. Pros: good food, very well priced prix fixe menu, and excellent super-fresh ingredients.
Cons: amateur service, and expensive wines. The 20% tip inclusion in the bill also didn’t resonate well with their “no tipping” policy (they are all students after all). Lastly, the gatehouse is a small space, separate from the main hall of the Culinary Institute.

Wow! This restaurant is amazing. The food is very good. The Julia's feast is prepared just right... the chicken is moist and juicy. The red sauce or provencal was tasty. The mashed potatoes were creamy and buttery and super delish. Order vegetables on the side because they generally do not come with the dish. The winners are very good and they have a great selection. The desserts are also amazing. We ordered the peach crumble and the creme brulee. The staff are super attentive and friendly. You get a five star experience at a three star price!

Food was very good. Great value for what you get. Service was hit or miss. You could definitely tell who the less and more experienced servers were. I enjoyed being party of their training experience.
