🇺🇸 Napa Area Food Review — Hits & Misses 🍽️

Here’s a roundup of my casual food adventures around Napa Valley and nearby towns: Napa Valley ✅ Osha Thai Recommended! Solid Thai food 🍛 Highlights: Green Curry, Tuna Tower, Pad Thai, Mango Sticky Rice (a bit sweet but yummy) Skip: Pineapple Fried Rice — just okay. ✅ Le Paris Artisan & Gourmet Café Tried the Ube Croissant 🥐 — packed with ube filling and cream! Perfect for ube lovers. Note: It’s served cold. Not for you if you prefer warm pastries. 🦪 Hog Island Oyster Co. Not bad, not great. Oysters were fresh but small. Pricey for what you get. ❌ Gott‘s Roadside Hard pass for me 🫠 California Burger & Kimchi Burger were way too salty. Garlic Fries also over-salted. Still team In-N-Out forever! 🍔 Yountville Cozy little town — wanted to try Bistro Jeanty (French) but wait was too long. Ended up with desserts instead: 🧁 Bouchon Bakery Pistachio Macaron was good but very sweet. Not mind-blowing. 🍫 Kollar Chocolate Fun stop! Lots of unique flavors: wine, whiskey, yuzu matcha, Earl Grey. Staff offered samples — nice touch! Sonoma 💥 the girl & the fig Major letdown 😵 Duck Liver Mousse was too strong. Steak Tartare made my stomach unhappy. Steak was mediocre. Only liked the daily special potato soup. Petaluma ✅ Seared Walked in randomly — turned out pretty good! Steak and Ahi Poke were solid. Linguine pasta was just okay. Atmosphere was a bit noisy though. Santa Rosa 🍨 Noble Folk Ice Cream & Pie Bar Nice ice cream — tried Pistachio & Cherry. Not too sweet! Good if you’re passing by. #NapaEats #NapaValley #Sonoma #Petaluma #SantaRosa #BayAreaFood #WeekendEats
