Cadet Wine & Beer Bar — Restaurant in Napa

I really wish I could give this place a good rating. They had a great wine/beer list and hip, young atmosphere. However, we were treated extremely rudely by several staff-members during our visit. We arrived around 7pm on a Friday night and sat outside, and we each ordered a couple rounds of drinks. We were all driving home and had enough after the second round, but wished to stay a bit longer and visit with our friends. We spent more than enough and were not being disruptive in any way, and the bar was pretty empty while we were there, so we were not taking up any extra space. After we had finished and said we weren't ordering anything else, the staff began reappearing every 10 mins or so to see if we "needed anything," although they knew we were done, since we'd made that clear more than once. It was a different person who came each time, and it was obvious they were pressuring us to leave, although there was no one waiting for our table. When they brought the check, the same waitress came back three times to see if we'd paid. She was glaring at us and giving really dirty, nasty looks. After we paid, we were pressured to leave, so we finally gave up and headed our separate ways, which was sad because we really would have liked to visit longer. This place is beautiful and had a lot of potential, but we do not tolerate bad customer service and will definitely not be returning. We will also be advising all friends and family to...

I am Asian. I know you guys are busy at night but it was very unfortunate that I was being ignored at bar seat. While I was sitting, bartenders passed me several times at the bar seat. Firstly he even took an order for customer(maybe his friend) who came later than me at same bar seat and the o other customer who also came later than me at bar seat. I tried to say ‘excuse me’ and waved right in front of male bartender (about 5’-7” with bald head) but he did not even look at me and ignored. I was sitting about 10 mins and I called them with waving then finally they took my order. It happened to me sometimes where I felt discrimination or ignorance of race at some places in different country, however, I was very disappointed by their attitude because Napa Valley is known as world famous wine valley and there are many decent asian wineries as well. But I felt this place was playing their league first without Asian tourists. I hope they will serve better equally for people without where...

We decided to host a welcome party for our wedding weekend at Cadet. We inquired about hosting a private party with Leah a few months prior, and the entire time leading up to the event day, she was extremely communicative, helpful, and friendly. She provided recommendations on how to structure food/drinks for a large group, as well as provided frequent updates.

The day of the event, Leah and her team were set up for us before anybody arrived, which made it super easy for my wife and I to relax and enjoy our time with our friends and family without any stress. The service from Leah and her team was excellent, and the vibe of the wine bar was just so perfect for our group. Also, the small bites / canapes that were served were all delicious.

Overall, we had a great time at Cadet, and would highly recommend stopping in for a glass of wine or hosting a...
