This is the best steak house, not just in Napa, but in the area. The food is incredible, so is the service, and the cocktails are some of the best you can find. I dined there multiple times and they deliver consistently, every time. Some of my favorite dishes are the prawn cocktail, bone-in-filet mignon (if available), creamed spinach, and bread pudding with bourbon sauce. Favorite cocktails are the Hennessy Negroni and Espresso Martini. This is one of the best restaurants in Napa.

We came back to Cole’s Chop House in Napa for a second visit and had a lively, memorable evening. The place was buzzing with holiday parties and a packed tent outside, which gave it great energy. Highlights: the apps were solid, especially the grilled prawn cocktail. The servers were kind and opened our Alpha Omega single-vineyard bottle for us (corkage was $35, which is fair) it would have been nice to have Napa wine corkage fee waived) Notes: the lobster/shrimp bisque was surprisingly thin and could use more body. Our ribeye and lamb chops were underseasoned and could’ve used more punch. Overall the food was decent, but a few misses kept it from being great. All in all I’d give it a 4 out of 5. Good atmosphere and service, a few standout bites, and room for improvement on seasoning and the bisque. #PaulEverHome @BayAreaWithPaul

Loved it!!! I prefer ribeye over strip steak but the waygu strip was way better than the Angus ribeye. The ribeye was great but trying the wagyu knocked it down a few notches. The Au gratin potatoes were excellent as well! Highly recommend reservations. We waited a while to get seated at the bar and ate our meal at the bar as well.

Excellent dinner at Coles Chop House celebrating a birthday. As you would expect the food and service were both great. I had Waygu steak for the first time and it was very good. My wife and I split a salad and a baked potato. We had not been here for years but did not disappoint.

After the drone conference, me and my buddy found this jam at downtown Napa based on the reviews. What a win!!! From start to finish, our dinner here was nothing short of spectacular. The Angus Rib Eye was grilled to absolute perfection - just the way we’ve requested it and packed with rich, mouthwatering flavor (melted butter on the side for dipping). The Lobster and Shrimp Bisque wrapped in puff pastry was a total standout - wow! - creamy, decadent, and absolutely jam-packed with flavor (and those lobster pieces!) We couldn’t believe the size of the Chop House Hash Browns stuffed with fresh Onions - crispy, golden, and so enormous it could easily feed a family (and still have leftovers!). Every dish was crafted with care, and the service elevated the night even more. Our server had a touch of sharp humor that made the experience warm, personal, and unforgettable. And by the way – all the guests are extremely friendly and social. To finish, the Whiskey Bread Pudding with Bourbon Caramel Sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream was next-level. And the non-alcoholic “3 Mile Limit” cocktail was a perfect, refreshing pairing. Cole’s, you’ve got something special here. Hold the spot - we’re absolutely coming back!

Steak was cooked and seasoned well without needing a sauce. The gratin potatoes were good but not great. Service was good. This restaurant has outdoor seating with temporary walls including heaters. There is also indoor seating on 2 different floors. There’s free parking behind the building. The entrance is on the side of the building through the outdoor seating area.

From the time we walked into the restaurant until the time we left, the experience was superb. Suggestions for menu items were a delight to the palate and the wine choices by Mike were spot on to compliment each course. If I could give 10 stars ⭐ I would! Mike our wine connoisseur was the true of our night. He was very knowledgeable and so welcoming and friendly! Great Job Cole’s!

The best ambience with the best food in Napa Valley- everything about this experience was perfect! I love that we can bring in wine that we purchased at the wineries today, the steaks were perfectly cooked, the family-style sides are great shared with the table, and the peanut butter chocolate cake for dessert was so good! Loved it all!
