Best Casual Restaurants in American Canyon

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving brunch. Server was wonderful as well as the vibe, decorations & food.

Overall everything was really lovely! The restaurant is in a nice downtown location (we are locals). Plenty of free ways to park and easy to find.  I found the seating is comfortable, tho as a 5’10” woman in a booth I felt like a child, the seats did sink me a bit low. Maybe shore that up a bit. :) One note, we were sitting by the door that goes to the restroom on a cold night is quite breezy and cold. The food was AH MAYZING!!!! We had Cesar salad, real dressing and anchovies- the real deal, lamb shank was to die for melted off the bone, carrots not over. Poked, butter melted over, really good!! Also had scallops, with lobster sauce husband loved it!! Desert plentiful in choice, cappuccino was bitter but I asked for heavy cream and that smoothed it out, sometimes it’s just your pallet. The crab appetizers were obviously not fresh rather frozen not tasty, so would pass on those. Couple of things I would note to the restaurant … One thing is aesthetics , I know there’s might not be a budget for flowers. You had a lot of fake big fake flowers around and also on the table. You might want to make the exception and put a nice single (real) rose on the table. It really classes up the joint. Another note to the staff, the bus girl hovered around while I was eating and made me feel like she was watching me eat, and kept asking me if I was done?? (to clear my plate) I wasn’t done. I like to put my knife and fork down, have a conversation drink some wine and then eat again. Also she cleared my husband‘s plate before I was finished eating, which really makes one feel rushed. I’m also European so that is not something we do in the EU it is typically an American thing. So just a thought to allow people at the table to finish their meals before you clear the table :) “Carpe Diem”, will allow people to relax and enjoy fantastic meals with a beautiful single rose in a romantically lit restaurant by the Napa River Xox

All around great dining experience. The food was impeccable, service was great, atmosphere was perfect. Couldn’t have had a better family dinner!

It was amazing service from when we walked in until we left. Their Chipino was the best we have ever had. The butter leaf salad was enough for two. You gotta have their donuts before you leave. Their waiters were so accommodating in every way. We will remember this place and come back for sure.

Everything was top notch! The menu, service…atmosphere. Beautiful grounds. Highly recommended for brunch! Would love to try other meals too.
