Robert's Tropical Table isn't just about incredible cocktails; it's a true culinary gem in Calistoga that offers a full, delightful dining experience. Owner Robert sets the bar for world-class hospitality, making every guest feel like family in a genuinely welcoming environment. His passion for flavor and quality extends far beyond the impressive drink menu, reaching into every dish served.
While the cocktails are a standout, the food at Robert's Tropical Table is equally noteworthy. The Poke Bowl, for example, is a refreshing and vibrant dish, featuring perfectly steamed white rice topped with fresh avocado, succulent salmon, savory wakame salad, crisp scallions, and a sprinkle of togarashi for that perfect touch of spice and texture. It's a beautifully balanced option that transports your taste buds straight to a sun-drenched beach.
For those craving something with a bit more kick, the Jerk Chicken is an absolute must-try. This isn't just any jerk chicken; it's a tender, flavorful masterpiece, marinated and cooked to perfection, delivering that authentic, smoky, and spicy Caribbean flavor profile. It's clear that attention to detail goes into every step of its preparation, resulting in a dish that's both comforting and exciting.
And then there are the Short Ribs, a true indulgence that showcases the kitchen's versatility. These short ribs are cooked until they are incredibly tender, practically melting in your mouth, and bursting with rich, savory flavors. It's a testament to the kitchen's ability to execute comforting classics with a refined, elevated touch.
Whether you're stopping by for one of Robert's innovative cocktails or settling in for a full meal, you're guaranteed an exceptional experience. Robert's Tropical Table truly offers the best of both worlds: a vibrant bar scene with some of the most creative drinks in the Napa Valley, paired with a menu of expertly crafted dishes that are just...
Read moreAs you journey thru life, sometimes you’re fortunate to stumble upon a gift…today 09/23/2024, Robert’s Tropical Table Bar & Lounge was my gift. Within downtown Calistoga, adjacent to a boutique hotel, island vibes resonated from an outside, umbrella shaded bar and lounge area. The wife and I were greeted by Robert and made comfortable with cooling fans, shade and cushioned seating. We never looked at the menu and asked to be surprised by a couple of cocktails. Upon delivery, I was instantly transported to a tropical paradise. The hand crafted cocktails mimicked the colors of a sunset, with aromas of sweet-n-spicy and garnished with petite flowers or various floral petals. The ice cold drinks enlivened our tastebuds with fruit, sweet, sour, smoke and spice. The cocktails were amazingly delicious. To crave our appetite, we chose the watermelon salad and jerked pork belly small plates. The watermelon salad was cool and refreshing this hot September day; delicious, fresh and in a way-hydrating. For me, the jerked pork belly was a sweet and savory dish I would want to share with everyone. Tender, pork belly you could cut with a fork, resting in tangy, sweet jerk sauce and I think chickpeas for crunch. So tasty. Robert and staff were welcoming, attentive and personable. I highly recommend and encourage you to visit Robert’s Tropical Bar and Lounge if you’re looking to enliven your tastebuds with food atypical of the region, made with the wholesome ingredients and love you’ve come to expect of the region and served/prepared by...
Read moreOutdoor atmosphere is great. Very laid back and comfortable but great aesthetics and feel. All the cocktails are world-class and amazingly balanced. Off menu, but they made me probably the best pina colada I have ever had (it was Jamaican Jerk) by suggestion. Wine list is great with excellent pricing. You don't feel gouged on some excellent bottles. Had quite a few food items, each were really good. The caviar service was done really well.
Service was excellent, topped by Robert. He went above and beyond, making us feel welcomed and also inviting us into the not open Rum Room in the hotel, sharing an impressive rum collection and conversation. This is an absolute must if you are in Calistoga. We wished we had actually spent more time here instead of exploring some of the other...
