Napa on Providence

I had a great last-minute birthday dinner at Napa on Providence with my 5-year-old daughter, and I'm so glad we decided to go there! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with amazing hospitality by the manager, Ashford. He really went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly and made my night feel extra special, which I truly appreciated.The food was fantastic. My martini was perfectly crafted, and the scallops and tuna tartare were both delicious--full of flavor and beautifully presented. The Napa salad was also amazing--fresh, crisp, and packed with the perfect combination of ingredients. My daughter really enjoyed her pizza, too, which is always a win when dining out with a little one.Overall, Napa on Providence had a welcoming atmosphere and great service. It was the perfect place for an impromptu celebration, I am so grateful to have celebrated here!

Napa on Providence is top tier from the moment you enter. Friendly hostess and servers, beautiful decor, and plenty of seating. My group dined in on a Sunday, it didn't seem overly busy. My one complaint, just to get it out of the way so we're can get to the good stuff: the wait time for meals was quite long. We'd had a couple of starters and bread service, then he took our meal orders. It took about 35 minutes from the arrival of our bread to the arrival of our meals. I felt that was a bit long. The server was apologetic, and the food being good was a good thing. I got the French toast, adding a side of breakfast potatoes and bacon. I loved that the bread wasn't soggy! The sweetness was perfectly balanced and the chantilly cream was airy and beautifully done. I also liked the bacon, it was perfectly crispy and meaty, and the potatoes were well seasoned. I also got the Mint Museum mocktail and it was very good, refreshing, high not as minty I expected it to be. My husband got the steak and eggs, as did one of our guests. They both talked about how well the steak was cooked and seasoned. I'm try that next time. Or, will I try the chicken and waffles?! I don't handed a picture of it, but I was able to taste the gruyere chive waffle and yum!I will definitely return for lunch and dinner.

The food was delicious and I was satisfied with the price point. Two mimosas two large plates for $50, isn't bad at all. The ambience was relaxing. The service was good and parking was not an issue. All makings for a perfect Sunday Brunch day.

A simply beautiful aesthetic throughout the restaurant. The food was delicious starting with the Cinnamon Monkey Bread and the array of toppings. Next, I enjoyed the French Toast with strawberries and whip cream and a side of bacon. Our waitress was great. Napa at Providence is a wonderful gem nestled in Myers Park near Queens College.

We tried Napa on Providence for the first time and for the first night of Queens Feast. We went with the choices on the set menu. Great casual atmosphere, very warm & welcoming. Our server did an excellent job and took care of us. We will come again for their normal menu.

We came for our wedding anniversary and the service was fantastic (as was the food!)The hostess acknowledged our anniversary, our waitress did, and I'm assuming the manager did too, who brought us a card!Started with the burrata and champagne. Then crab and corn soup. Wonderful white wine recommendation. Ordered the artichoke risotto and added shrimp - so good! Hubs got a seafood pasta on special - also so good! We were too full for dessert but also finished off with a non-traditional margarita and an Old Faithful (like Old Fashioned). It was a nice, leisurely dinner, beautiful decor, strong service. Will return.

Came here for restaurant week and had nice experience with friends. We made a reservation a few days in advance for a party of 3.. and judging by the full parking lot and restaurant.. I'm glad we did (tip: you can park in the Wells Fargo lot across the street once the bank closes for the day). I enjoyed that the queens feast menu offered a non alcoholic drink although when I ordered it, I was informed they were low on an ingredient, so I ended up ordering something different, the butternut squash soup that I started with was perfectly thick and had a good combination of sweet and savory. The short rib was nice and tender and was definitely the highlight for me. My friends who ordered the salmon were a little surprised by the presence of the espuma (although listed on the menu we kind of overlooked it/ didn't know exactly what it was) but despite this they said it tasted very good! We ended with the apple tart dessert which was quite large. I wasn't a fan of the caramel and I could taste much thyme.. also it wasn't really served warm which was odd. All in all a good experience with excellent service! The regular menu had a lot of variety and I would definitely come back to try some more dishes.

Napa is a great option for Queen's Feast (Charlotte's Restaurant Week)! The menu is at the $40 price point and offers quality dishes like short rib and even filet mignon for a $10 supplement charge. All of the restaurant and menu options during QF can be overwhelming, so I'm happy to have found a solid spot everyone will enjoy!We started with cocktails, which were fine, not mind-blowing. I ordered the Fleur de Vie, which contained rosé, tequila, and elderflower. It was served just in a regular tall glass with ice and a plastic straw. For $16, I would have expected some type of garnish and nicer presentation. Would skip this one. Our friend ordered a martini, and it didn't come with olives (the server brought some when asked). The So Long Summer Spritz was refreshing and did come garnished with lemon & lime. And our other friend said the spicy passionfruit margarita was enjoyable. I'm thinking next time I'll stick with wine. For appetizers, we got the Napa Salad and cast-iron meatballs. Salad was pretty standard and tasted good. The meatballs were stuffed with mozzarella and served with plenty of marinara. Yum!Enter the entrees: braised short rib and pan-roasted salmon. Both dishes were beautifully presented. I especially loved the look of the meyer lemon foam atop the salmon. Served over a winter bean cassoulet, the salmon dish had a seasonal flavor profile and feel. Short rib was also tasty as was the polenta it came with. Dessert time! We got both options: the apple tarte tartin and salted caramel cappuccino cheesecake. Both were great and different. I liked the pastry and warm apples in the tartin. The cheesecake was so rich with deep flavors. A perfect end to our meal!Service was friendly and good overall although I felt the meal pacing to be a bit rushed. Since we had to order all 3 course at once, the entrees arrived before we were done with our appetizers. I'm sure QF is a hectic time for the restaurant - it wasn't a major issue - we just had to do some last-minute plate shuffling to make it work. Looking forward to returning to try dishes off the full menu!

After checking in we experienced a rude hostess; older woman with cropped, white hair yelled someone else's reservation name at us then seemed upset when that wasn't us. From there, our waiter seemed very rushed. Our bread in the goat cheese appetizer was stale: what should've been toast and even had grill marks was just soft and chewy. It must have been left out for quite some time. We were left no time to build up our appetites as the waiter brought our entrees while we were still working on our appetizers. Also, we'd gone there for a birthday. The initial hostess confirmed we were celebrating a birthday, but the waiter never acknowledged our reason for being there or brought out any kind of sweet treat to celebrate.

My husband and I had an outstanding meal here on Valentine's Day. This was a first time visit for us, but certainly not the last. The servers went above and beyond in ensuring we were taken care of-- very attentive. The entire staff was honestly great, especially Ced our waiter. We can't wait to visit again. Thank you NOP for making our night a special one.
