Compline Restaurant - Napa (CA)

5 /5 Shaun Deardorff: Compline is where flavor meets artistry. From the first bite to the last sip, everything sang in harmony. The cheese board was a symphony of textures and taste—each selection more expressive than the last. The tuna tartare? A delicate, melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece layered with nuance and grace. But the true surprise was the fried chicken with polenta—golden, tender, and soul-satisfying, even for this Southern heart raised on the real deal. Paired with world-class wines that danced perfectly alongside each dish, the evening was nothing short of magical. A place where food becomes memory. We’ll absolutely be back!

5 /5 Arletha Angeles: I recently had the pleasure of dining at Compline Restaurant in Napa, and it was such a delightful experience! My friend had been wanting to try their famous duck fat fries, and they did not disappoint — absolutely delicious and well worth it. The atmosphere at Compline is relaxed and chill, making it a great spot to enjoy lunch and catch up with friends. The staff were amazingly courteous, attentive, and kind, which made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. For lunch, we opted for the sandwich of the day, which was a BLT, and paired it with some fun drinks. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and satisfying — a perfect balance for a casual yet elevated meal. Another nice touch is that Compline is dog-friendly, which is such a great option for anyone wanting to bring their pets along. The staff was accommodating to all parties and truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a pleasant time. Overall, we had a wonderful lunch at Compline. Between the delicious food, friendly service, and welcoming atmosphere, it was an experience we thoroughly enjoyed. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Napa and looking for a spot that combines great food, great drinks, and great vibes!

5 /5 Raul Avina: We celebrated a birthday here, and it was an exceptional experience. The host recommended a fried chicken appetizer to pair with our bottle of Bubbles (sparkling wine)—a surprisingly delicious combination. Their famous duck fat fries are absolutely to die for. This is truly a place where food becomes a lasting memory.

5 /5 A Roy: Fantastic food, wine and service. We arrived on quiet Sunday evening and had great attention from our knowledgeable server. A blind tasting round, followed by dinner was classy yet unfussy. I was delighted to be treated with a dessert for my birthday. Though I was out with friend, this qualifies for a good date night location.

2 /5 Varnado Williams: I really wanted to enjoy my visit to Compline, but I left disappointed. On January 1, 2026, we were seated in the back “lounge” area even though there were several open tables in the main dining room. I’m African American, and the choice felt intentional — especially because, by the time we left, the main room had filled up, yet no one else (aside from a dad with his toddler, also a minority) was seated back where we were. The service itself was polite, but the seating decision cast a shadow over the entire meal. It’s hard to feel welcome when you’re placed off to the side while others are offered better tables. Restaurants should be mindful that where guests are seated matters. I hope Compline takes a closer look at their seating practices, because the experience made me feel singled out instead of valued as a guest.
