Boon Fly Café — Restaurant in Napa

For our first night in Napa, we made ressos (for 6 people) at Boon Fly for 8 pm on a Thursday. It was a late dinner (and I believe they close at 9) so there was probably only another table dining there at the time. Still, we felt welcomed and the service was great. I wish I could remember our waitress's name because she was super nice. We decided to order a bunch of dishes to share. This was probably too much food for six people but we like to eat.

Butter Lettuce Salad (pickled beets, cucumber, feta, toasted sunflower seeds, white balsamic vinaigrette) - it's just a salad but it was the start of a 3-day bach weekend so we already knew we weren't going to be eating healthy, hence the salad

Caesar Salad (roasted red onions, chopped romaine, shaved parmesan, croutons) - same with this one. Plus, you can't go wrong with a Caesar salad

Southern Fried Calamari (grilled lemon, chipotle aioli) - bit too oily for me

Crispy Truffle Fries - not much truffle flavor but any fries are better than no fries

Warm Artichoke Dip (roasted poblano peppers, toasted pita chips) - this was probably my favorite, which I was not expecting. It is a bit decadent but I guess that's the best part. I actually started dipping the crispy truffle fries in it as opposed to the pita bread, and it was a match made in heaven. We ate some of the leftovers the next day and it was just as good after a trip to the microwave, as it was the night before

Margherita Pizza (san marzano tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil) - another classic that you can't go wrong with

Mac 'n' Cheese - pretty standard. It was good but nothing amazing

Smashed Yukon Gold Potatoes - nice and buttery/creamy. Again, it was rich but worth the splurge of calories

Roasted Asparagus, Lemon Oil, Parmesan - I don't like asparagus but I like this. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and the lemon and parmesan paired well together

Big Glory Bay King Salmon (black eyed peas, charred fennel, snap peas, salmon roe, lemon vinaigrette) - salmon was perfectly cooked and was flavorful

Seared 10oz New York Steak (green garlic crema, tostones, cipollini onions, asparagus, bordelaise) - I really liked the green garlic crema but unfortunately, the steak was chewy, even though it was medium rare

Fried Donuts - we were told that these sometimes sell out during brunch and I can see why. I am not really a fan of sweets but can see how these can be addicting. They're the perfect mini size, and they're not overly sweet

For drinks, I had the Watermelon Martini, which I didn't love but I did appreciate the fact that it wasn't too sweet. Plus, all of the cocktails are presented very well and are really pretty!

Overall, I would say I probably liked half the dishes we got. But I still have dreams of the...

Did you forget that breakfast is my favorite time of the day? Even though it was about 2pm when we headed to BoonFly, breakfast always sounds so good & trust me, tastes even better later in the day. Their hot cakes were perfect with the berries. They were fluffy and filling. The side of scrambled eggs was just a bonus. As far as the chicken and waffles goes, imagine a crispy skinned, moist chicken with -you guessed it, a soft, buttery waffle. The contrast between the textures and flavors are sure to leave you satisfied.

Can you smell the maple syrup now? Oh forgot, we can't just do brunch without some mouth watering libations. Introducing the spiced Paloma & the margarita. The perfect partners to such a mouthwatering meal. It's all about balance my friends.

What could you add? Maybe their signature donuts. Which are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. & guess what? They come with various dipping sauces from chocolate to caramel. Just one? Totally fine, but why not order the whole bucket? You won't regret it.

What could make this meal better? Perhaps the conversation of a dear old friend, the laughter from a couple tables away, and the attentiveness of such a wonderful team at BoonFly. And to top it all off, what's a trip to BoonFly without a obligatory picture...
