Wow!! Loved the ambiance of the open food prep area and wood fired grill. Menu items were creative and delicious. Six of us came in for lunch and shared many menu items. The tomahawk steak was amazing...try it with the wild mushrooms. The sourdough bread was perfect with the grilled avocado and ham garum dates!!! Save room for the jersey ice cream with vanilla and pecan oil...you will not be disappointed!!

We came there  for our first dinner at Napa with high expectations about food, service and view. The price is high as expected, the view is romantic and cool when you stay outside. We waited for a while for entrees with a $20 salad appetizer...it was not bad, mix sauce every single leaf. We order half grilled chicken and shoulder pork chop with corn and rice. The food was good with even spices and smoky flavor. However the service was bad. It started well with friendly chat and order fast, after the appetizer came, no one came or stopped by to ask, then food came by another waiter, and continued our waiter didn't come to ask about either how food was or we needed to order more wine...until we finished and gave a check.
It is the fine restaurant with good food but the service was not at the high level.
Recommend for food, but up to you comes with luck with service.

The charter Oak restaurant is definitely an awesome, beautiful and posh restaurant to have lunch. The food, the service the ambience make a great lunchbox between tasting at multiple wineries. From the minute we walked in I knew this was going to be a great restaurant. Jessica, who was our waitress provided excellent service and the food was not only fresh but also delicious and savory.

For anyone looking for a great lunch spot that is family style, outdoorsy, and very posh this is the place.

I didn’t go into dinner planning to order the cheeseburger (especially knowing that this was a casual spot from Chef Christopher post TRAM), but it was highly recommended so O gave it a go. It didn’t disappoint; it was flavorful and juicy. If the fries were more crispy it would have been perfect. Nonetheless, we had a delicious dinner experience with our friends.

We loved dining here. There are options to sit in the lush courtyard or the large yet cosy indoor option. The hearth is grand and I love that almost all the food is touched by it. Service was great, the menu was innovative and it’s very family friendly! Menu for kids available and they even provide a little play dough to keep them entertained
