Evangeline

Small local restaurant recommended by local. It was beyond expectation! Wagyu beef burger and fries were excellent. The dipping sauces yummy. Seafood cioppino was mind blowing good. One of the best ones I had for a long time. So much flavors in one small scope of sauce. The sauce in the bowl was completely cleaned with the included poppy seed rye bread and fries from the burger. The house sangria had lots of tropical flavors. Very pleasant dining experience and worth the hype. I appreciate the kitchen has a lot of passion serving quality dishes.

We love coming to this charming patio restaurant every time we are in Napa valley. Extremely friendly staff, well priced and delicious food -not to mention great cocktails. I had the halibut and my husband had steak frites and both were amazing! We started with the peach appetizer and had a delicious panna cotta for dessert. Our favorite spot in Calistoga!

So, this place is really good. Attentive staff, nice atmosphere....but the food...it's incredible. The shrimp etueffe was as good or better than I ever had. The grilled avocado with bread, amazing, the fresh dressing on the salad, light and full of flavor. Well worth going to!! Also the best sangria I have ever had.

My first experience in a creole restaurant, I ended up feeling that I should have asked for some recommendations to have a more authentic experience. Generally, we had a great experience in the patio for dinner. The weather was brilliant. The waiter was very nice and attentious. My cocktail incognito felt amazing with some passion fruit. We had a great mix of flavours with our melon starter. I had a steak but asked for gratin potato instead of fries, which was really tasteful, the fish was also on point. In the end, I had an apple crisp which I thought that I was not going to finish but ended up finishing it as it was quite nice.

Wow! This was such an excellent experience! Some of the best food we've had in Napa in the month we've been here. We had the shrimp etouffee and braised lamb, which was better than the iterations of those dishes we had in New Orleans itself. It was a very cozy patio, which I bet would be fantastic for brunch.

Delicious food, courteous and attentive staff, and a fun space for any size gathering. My steak (frites) was overcooked, and as soon as I let our fabulous waiter know he whisked it away and brought back a new plate within minutes. Overall a wonderful experience. If you're in to absinth, go all in with a pour and ice water drip. We've had our fair share of absinth over the years and this is the first time we had the pleasure of having it mixed in front of us. A moment to remember!

What a wonderful place. Excellent service, good drinks, perfect music, and the food was lights out delicious.

The Owner is one of the hardest working and caring people I know. I consider this elegant comfort food, and my favorite is the fried chicken sandwich, oh and the fried pickles. So yummy! The quality of his food and presentation are what makes Evangeline a Calistoga gem.

This was a beautiful experience! The house made pasta and steak were absolutely delicious and the service is amazing as well! So kind and attentive! It honestly feels like your at home just without the tv and Netflix lol super cozy! 20/10 would definitely come here again!

The customer service was excellent. I didn't sit down and order, I ordered mine to go. I ordered the salmon. The crispy top on the salmon was delicious and the salmon was not overcooked or dry. The sauce that came with the salmon set it off! The crispy Brussel sprouts were also a nice side dish to compliment the salmon (the Brussel sprouts were enough to share with two people). The salmon itself comes with a salad-- it was very delicious.

Exceptional service!
Every single member of the staff went above and beyond. I visited California from Ohio for a short, 24-hour trip. Initially, I came here for lunch and because their service was so great, I came back for dinner!
Food A+
Service A++++
Friendly Advice… Make a reservation if you wish to utilize the outdoor patio seating.

Always delicious and great service. My only complaint is that my mom asked for a glass of seltzer w/ lime and she got a whole bottle for $8. Seemed a bit excessive. Other than that, all good!

Calistoga is full of wonderful places and this is one of them. This restaurant is absolutely beautiful and perfect place for a romantic dinner within a mile or walking distance from the nearby Inns. The staff are always on top of everything with excellent customer service. The aged steak I ordered was way better than expected. If I start dating this place will be on my list lol.

People are incredibly friendly and polite. The food and drinks are delicious. My wife had the king salmon and I had the pork shoulder. We had a grilled avocado on bread for an appetizer that was OK. The patio is very private and there is a ton of jasmine growing in the trellis which makes everything smell wonderful.

Outstanding service, great ambiance and the food is amazing. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars, just order the Lobser rissoto and thank me later. The depth of flavor in that dish is beyond words. Pork shoulder is great but the risotto is better. Winner winner lobster dinner.

The type of meal you say a prayer for before eating. The perfect Grilled Salmon, fresh chicory salad, fuji apple, mustard vinaigrette ❤ Wished for more variety on the charcuterie board.

We both enjoyed our meals here!! Service was on point. Love the pursuit seating under the tent. We will be back🥰

Evangeline in Calistoga offers a great atmosphere. The creamy spinach and artichoke dip and Gumbo Yaya were delightful. The Vanilla Creme Brulee was a tasty end to the meal. Highly recommended for a wonderful dining experience.

Amazing food, with great ambience. The outdoor area is very cosy. I would recommend going for the Creole dishes.

We loved absolutely everything at this restaurant. The background music was a rare treat. The menu was varied, healthy and delicious. The service was bilingual and wonderful and the atmosphere was perfect. We chose to sit outside which gave fresh air but the truly effective heaters kept us very comfortable on a damp, cool evening. My daughter is a fussy eater. She even loved it. I was recovering from jet lag and still loved it. My husband Loved it. Wish I could go back for lunch today before we leave the area.
