Charlies Napa Valley - St Helena (CA)

4 /5 Dr Luke Daniel: Great ambience, with the bar in the middle being the showcase. Place was absolutely packed, so a booking is recommended. Delightful switch up of a lasagne and the fried chicken was a great heart attack waiting to happen.

5 /5 cody cavanaugh: Fantastic service—extremely knowledgeable about the menu with well-vetted, high-quality suggestions. The atmosphere was very comforting, truly felt like home. The hamachi dish was the best I’ve ever had—absolutely don’t miss it. God bless, and thank you for the amazing service and an unforgettable meal.

5 /5 Cecilia Saikeo: Love this place! The food, wine, and cocktails are all high quality with a down to earth feel. We loved the raw oysters and fried chicken sandwiches. We also saw fried chicken on the Happy Hour menu that looked fantastic! It was in high demand. The nice part is they also do Take-Out. There is so much heart here. Looking forward to returning again!

5 /5 emily donham: The food was amazing. We got the caviar on potatoe skins and they are these little plump chucks of potatoes heaven. We got both the raw and bar b qed oysters and both are great and very well cleaned. The friend chicken and fancy ranch was absolutely perfect. Cristy and flaky without being greasy. The fancy ranch had caviar in it and that little brine was a great addition. For dessert we had the frozen bananas dipped in chocolate with this carmelized banana peel sauce. It was absolutely Devine. I have been wanting to visit this place for a couple months and I was very pleased. The staff was absolutely impeccable... friendly and helpful, not one bad thing to say. I 100% would recommend

4 /5 narae kim: We went because a winery host recommended it. Lately, Napa Valley hasn’t had many restaurants that really stood out, so I was happy to discover a new spot. We came because we heard the chicken was better than Ad Hoc’s—and it really was. The batter was extremely crispy, the chicken was perfectly cooked with no pink at all, and the seasoning was just right. The crispy cauliflower was an absolute favorite. I thought the pretzel ham might be predictable, but the pretzel itself was surprisingly soft and excellent. The steak was cooked exactly to the right doneness, and since it was aged, it was incredibly tender. We ordered the French dip sandwich—the sauce had a deep, rich beef flavor that was fantastic. We also had the smoked trout; for something smoked, the salt level was very well balanced. At first, I thought the lunch menu was a bit limited, but the fried items and bread were outstanding. They even changed our plates midway, which was a nice touch. The only downside was that it was very crowded, so the wine service was slow. Corkage is $25. Everything was great, but the restroom had a very unpleasant smell. But we’ll definitely be back.
