St Helena Bistro

Been here so many times, Israel is on his 19th year. Delicious eggplant Parmesan again. New stuff _ hot fajitas, sizzling!

There weren't many restaurants open between lunch and dinner on a Sunday so we came here. Overall everything was ok, but nothing spectacular. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating and is pleasant. Service was friendly, attentive, and food came quickly. The lamb ragu had good flavor, but I would have preferred the sauce be thicker. The fish tacos tasted ok, but the texture of the fish was off, almost hollow and slightly gray in color.

Food was amazing. Excellent wine service was great. TheAmbiance was amazing.will Definitely be back

If there was a spot 0 stars, this place would have it. Not only did they serve two other parties before they got to our table and our food came out. It took over forty minutes.The other tables had finished eating and left before we got our main course. I explained to the server that this was an exceptional amount of time to wait for food. He was sarcastic and disrespectful.I will never go there again.

A small little viby bistro on Main Street in St Helena is worth a stop. The restaurant is clean and tidy with chill decor. Tables with tablecloth and proper napkins gives this restaurant an upscale feel. The service is quick and friendly. The menu is a nice size and the wine list is as well. The menu confused me a bit with the choices of ravioli, fish and chips, a burger and tacos in the same menu but it kinda worked. The food came out quiclkly and hot. The burger was noshed down quickly as was the fish and chips. The artichoke was a bit wet even though it was grilled. The pumpkin ravioli was tasty but a bit too sweet. The wines we chose were good quality and went well with the food. All in all a good experience. Caution: parking is not that easy to find and you may have to walk a bit.

We stopped by to have lunch here after a morning of wine tasting on a Wednesday . We were seated immediately as there were a lot of open tables to choose from inside or outside . We tried the burger w/fries , salad with a chicken tostada shell and salad with salmon. The tostada salad was amazing!! And highly recommend as it was light and delicious . It was a very large tostada salad and was unable to finish it all great portions! My husband tried the burger he said it was okay the sauce was overpowering the burger . And lastly the salad with salmon was also a hit! I highly recommend stopping here for lunch in St Helena as it is very close to nearby wineries . The service was excellent we were able to order and eat within the hour which was great for our schedule ! The only issue might be finding parking as there is not parking available and will have to look for parking on the street .

Great find on our way back from wine tasting. Cute little restaurant with patio & they could seat a party of 4 quickly. Food was good, service was wonderful, some nice wine choices & clean restroom. My lettuce wrapped hamburger was made was fresh crisp lettuce & you couldn't go wrong with the burger & thin crisp hot fries. My friend had the mole chicken enchiladas & she loved them. She is kind of picky about the mole sauce & really liked theirs. Worth a stop if you're headed down Main Street.

Today I finally had the pleasure to try this restaurant! It did NOT disappoint!Cute little restaurant on Main st in St Helena with a great little patio for outside dining. I ordered the chicken tacos with salsa verde & an Avocado salad. The avocado salad was bright, tasty & beautiful. The tacos were out of this world! Fresh, great seasoning & fully satisfying. Israel was my server. He was gracious, helpful, attentive & friendly- I'm looking forward to going back!

Spent the weekend in SH and came here to dinner because their menu has a little bit of everything to satisfy your crave. Small restaurant, with outdoor seating. Service was great, we didn't feel rushed. We ordered the bruschetta, which was yummy. Need a little bit of seasoning, thank you to the salt and pepper on the table for us. We had the rib eye and fish and chips. Rib eye was a bit on the rare side but I didn't mind it too much. Unfortunately there was more fat then meat. For $30. Caramelized onions and veggies were good. Fish chips were not greasy but lack seasoning.

We love the food and also the service here. We've been a few times. The avocado salad has a wonderful cilantro dressing. The eggplant parmigiana is my favorite ever. The breading is light and not overpoweringly eggy as so many are. The marinara is delicious! He always gets the Alfredo and it's perfect. Not too greasy. We also got their tiramisu and it has a lovely maple syrup soak that made it delightful. Great place!!
