   THE MOST EXPENSIVE RESTAURANT IN ST. HELENA. With a totally unreasonable corkage charge and a mandatory 20% tip on top of a $75 corkage fee - (real fee is $90) I don't expect this place to be around very long

   This pop up, soft open has the look and feel of a great restaurant. Front of house staff was wonderful even given the newness of menu etc. However, main courses were sadly lacking (particularly in light of pricing!!); salt instead of flavor seemed to be the technique. More work to do if they hope to pull locals and garner a reputation in St Helena fine dining.

   My wife and I went to dinner at this new restaurant in the center of St Helena to celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary. We started the evening with a cocktail and a variety of breads and bread sticks served with humus and olive oil. The waiters and hostess were nice and attentive, for example in helping us each pick a glass of wine to suit our individual palates and menu selections. We tried the Caesar salad, spinach and mushroom soup, the fresh pasta ravioli, a pork chop and finished with the chocolate souffle. I especially enjoyed the ravioli and the pork chop but as I said every course seemed perfect. The ambiance was set by the fine china, decor, and impressive art collection. The prices were reasonable, considering the super high quality of everything. I would definitely go back!!!

   Food was good, but not spectacular . Everything was ridiculously overpriced. The overly attentive serve staff was annoying.

   Hi Stevi, we are disappointed to hear that your experience could have been more relaxing. We are new to Napa and our sister restaurant is the loved Capo in Santa Monica, LA. We appreciate there is a slight culture difference and we constantly work to anticipate our guests needs and desires. We will be opening our permanent site which is currently under construction next summer and would love if you would give us another try. C29 Team

   Outstanding food & service. One of the more expensive meals in the valley but we felt the entire experience was worth it. Free corkage on Tuesday & Wednesday through the end of the year. Highly recommended!

   The service was really great, but the food was not good at all. No one in our party enjoyed their meals. The shrimp was very undercooked and under-seasoned, even through the waiter touted it.

Should you have any further questions or would like to rebook please do not hesitate to reach out. Regards, C29 Team

    Just an excellent experience. Food and service are beyond anything else in the Napa Valley. I have been to C 29 several times this season and enjoyed it on every occasion….well worth the elevated price for this special place.
