Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Occidental

Amazing experience! The food, the service blew me out of the water!

I brought a group of 7 and we had a wonderful round table so everyone could visit and, as always, the food was amazing and the service was friendly and attentive.

The food and service were excellent. We arrived at 5 p.m. so service was prompt even though there already were many diners at that early hour. My only quibble is that the French press decaf for two turned out to be half a cup each. Either use smaller cups or provide enough beverage to fill the cup to normal height. The entrée prices were somewhat high but competitive with other similar local restaurants. The desserts, on the other hand, were $14, whereas a local upscale Italian restaurant charges only $10 for all desserts which are at least as good or better than Monti's offerings. The restaurant recently reopened after an extensive remodel, so everything was fresh and new! We were in a booth with very luxurious-feeling leather seat covering.

Came here for our last night in Napa for my birthday and Bottega did not disappoint. This restaurant was highly recommended to me by multiple people who had visited Napa prior. Our server was attentive, the food was delicious, and I appreciated that the staff took notice that it was my birthday and went above and beyond for me. We can't stop raving about our experience! Definitely a must-try if you're in the Napa area.

We had an outstanding server named Meghan, who made our entire dining experience very memorable. She was warm, friendly and had a great sense of humor. The food and ambiance was wonderful, but Meghan took things to a whole new level. We will definitely be coming back and hope Meghan will be there to greet us.
