PRESS Restaurant - St Helena (CA)

5 /5 MacKenzie Kerkstra: Our experience was exceptional at PRESS. Our server was Aaron (might not be spelled correctly) and he did an incredible job! Every dish was timed perfectly and the food was lovely. We also had a bottle of wine from a local region and wine maker recommended by Aaron that we loved. We plan to come back to Napa in the fall and this will definitely be on our list of places to return to. Thank you for making our evening so special!

5 /5 Winter Coming: The vibe feels upscale and polished without being stiff, and for a Michelin-starred restaurant, the pricing was honestly more reasonable than expected. Service really stood out. There were more servers than guests that night, so everything felt calm, attentive, and never rushed. One confusing moment before arriving: we booked for a Monday night, but both Google Maps and the website said they were closed on Mondays. With no direct phone number to call, we almost didn’t go. Glad we trusted the reservation and showed up. We did the four-course tasting menu and enjoyed it a lot. Everything was well paced and thoughtfully done. Next time, we’d love to come back and try the seven-course menu.

5 /5 Lisa Mattson: Celebrated our 20th anniversary here. We hadn’t been to Press since Valentine’s Day many years ago. We’ve been hearing all the reviews and decided to splurge and go back. The dining room was humming on a Tuesday night. Excellent service. Very enjoyable pairings. The tomato course was the only one that didn’t wow us. Loved the big antique clock, pendant lights, pretty serviceware presentations, and all of the little banquette seating nooks that make dining romantic. They have a huge wine selection, and tons of bottles aren’t on the list. They found a lovely half bottle of Champagne for us to celebrate with. Thanks to the staff for making our evening so special. Yes, it’s expensive but that is expected. The only price that seemed off was the supplemental caviar bread crown appetizer. It really clever and delicious, but fancy pretzel bread and butter with a small layer of caviar on top seemed more like a $50 item, not $75.

5 /5 Megan Vogel: Its so stylish, but not pretentious! My sister and I went for their 7-Course Dinner in late July, and it was delicious! Each course was beautifully presented... but also amazing to eat. We ordered an array of their cocktails throughout the meal, and they were incredibly well-made and balanced, with lots of flavor and style. I highly recommend PRESS if you want a special evening to celebrate... OR if you just need a reason to get dressed up and enjoy an enchanted "tastebud walk".

5 /5 Ro M: One of our favorite restaurants in Napa. The team here goes above and beyond from the moment we sat down. Olivia the sommelier was incredibly knowledgeable and delivered. Food was 10/10 - you won’t leave feeling hungry. Get the caviar pretzel. Ask to see their wine cellar - it’s incredible!
