As 50 principais coisas para fazer e atrações em Santa Helena (2024)

1 list

My husband and I stopped here on our visit in Napa for our honeymoon. Every other place we went during the week was incredibly welcoming and made sure to congratulate us on being newlyweds. However, no one at charter oak did.Burger was good, although I wouldn’t say it’s the best in the valley.Trout was delicious, but a fairly small portion. The restaurant had a beautiful atmosphere.

(Tradução do Google) Viemos lá para nosso primeiro jantar em Napa com grandes expectativas sobre comida, serviço e vista. O preço é alto como esperado, a vista é romântica e fresca quando você fica do lado de fora. Esperamos um pouco pelas entradas com um aperitivo de salada de US $ 20. não foi ruim, misture o molho em cada folha. Pedimos meio frango grelhado e costeleta de porco com milho e arroz. A comida era boa, com temperos uniformes e sabor defumado. No entanto, o serviço foi ruim. Começou bem com bate-papo amigável e pedido rápido, depois que chegou o aperitivo ninguém apareceu ou parou para perguntar, então a comida veio por outro garçom, e continuou nosso garçom não veio perguntar como estava a comida ou como precisávamos. peça mais vinho até terminarmos e dermos um cheque.É um restaurante requintado com boa comida, mas o serviço não era de alto nível.Recomendo para comida, mas depende de você a sorte no atendimento.(Original)We came there for our first dinner at Napa with high expectations about food, service and view. The price is high as expected, the view is romantic and cool when you stay outside. We waited for a while for entrees with a $20 salad appetizer...it was not bad, mix sauce every single leaf. We order half grilled chicken and shoulder pork chop with corn and rice. The food was good with even spices and smoky flavor. However the service was bad. It started well with friendly chat and order fast, after the appetizer came, no one came or stopped by to ask, then food came by another waiter, and continued our waiter didn't come to ask about either how food was or we needed to order more wine...until we finished and gave a check.It is the fine restaurant with good food but the service was not at the high level.Recommend for food, but up to you comes with luck with service.

(Tradução do Google) O restaurante charter Oak é definitivamente um restaurante incrível, bonito e elegante para almoçar. A comida, o atendimento e o ambiente fazem uma ótima lancheira entre degustações em diversas vinícolas. Desde o minuto em que entramos, eu sabia que este seria um ótimo restaurante. Jéssica, que era nossa garçonete, prestou um serviço excelente e a comida não era apenas fresca, mas também deliciosa e saborosa.Para quem procura um ótimo local para almoçar em estilo familiar, ao ar livre e muito elegante, este é o lugar.(Original)The charter Oak restaurant is definitely an awesome, beautiful and posh restaurant to have lunch. The food, the service the ambience make a great lunchbox between tasting at multiple wineries. From the minute we walked in I knew this was going to be a great restaurant. Jessica, who was our waitress provided excellent service and the food was not only fresh but also delicious and savory.For anyone looking for a great lunch spot that is family style, outdoorsy, and very posh this is the place.

If I could give 7 stars, I would definitely do so for this upper crust eatery. I had the trout with a side of rice. I also had sourdough 🍞 bread that the starter was 45 years old. It was divine. Now first off every dish was nigh unto perfect. All of us enjoyed everything. The only downside was my waiter never refreshed my tea but we still tipped him very well. Be prepared to spend at least $25 even for a cheeseburger 🍔 and fries. A steak will set you back over 4 times that. Nonetheless, you're in Napa Valley country -- wine tasting, touring and shopping. So, a nicer restaurant like this is expected to be exactly as it is -- an unforgettably wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

(Tradução do Google) Não fui jantar planejando pedir o cheeseburger (especialmente sabendo que este era um local casual do Chef Christopher post TRAM), mas foi altamente recomendado, então O experimentei. Não decepcionou; era saboroso e suculento. Se as batatas fritas estivessem mais crocantes, teria sido perfeito. Mesmo assim, tivemos uma deliciosa experiência de jantar com nossos amigos.(Original)I didn’t go into dinner planning to order the cheeseburger (especially knowing that this was a casual spot from Chef Christopher post TRAM), but it was highly recommended so O gave it a go. It didn’t disappoint; it was flavorful and juicy. If the fries were more crispy it would have been perfect. Nonetheless, we had a delicious dinner experience with our friends.

Ideally, I'd give this place a 3.5/5.The Charter Oak offers a beautiful setting and a menu that showcases high-quality ingredients. While the experience has its strong points, a few inconsistencies kept it from being a slam dunk.The restaurant's interior boasts a grand atmosphere. High ceilings and an open layout create a sense of airiness, while exposed brick (on the outside and plush seating add a touch of warmth. The dedicated meat-cooking area allows guests a glimpse of the culinary action and adds a touch of visual intrigue.We opted for a selection of dishes to share: the signature Charter Oak bread, the Flannery 14-day dry-aged ribeye with brown butter hollandaise, the black roasted cod with daylily pesto, and the upside-down cake for dessert.The bread and house-cultured butter were a clear winner. Warm and crusty bread paired perfectly with the rich, salty butter. However, the sides served with the bread were a bit overdone, offering a touch of unintended bitterness.The Flannery ribeye was a huge letdown. While cooked to a good degree overall, the silver skin remained somewhat tough, making parts of the meat chewy. Additionally, the lack of pre-emptive inquiry about our preferred doneness felt like a missed opportunity. The richness of the meat could have benefited from a touch more salt to complement the tangy brown butter hollandaise. For being the most expensive dish on the menu, this was a major letdown.The black roasted cod, on the other hand, was a triumph. The fish itself was cooked perfectly – crispy skin gave way to a juicy and delicate interior, expertly deboned for a seamless dining experience. The citrusy daylily pesto complemented the fish beautifully.The upside-down cake fell a bit short. While the cake itself was alright, the tartness of the yogurt overpowered the sweetness of the cake, resulting in an unbalanced flavor profile.The service was efficient and friendly. Our meals arrived promptly, and our server was attentive throughout the evening. However, neglecting to ask about our preferred doneness for the ribeye felt like a minor oversight in an otherwise attentive experience.The Charter Oak offers a beautiful dining experience in Napa Valley. The stunning ambiance, high-quality ingredients, and fast service make it a strong contender. However, some inconsistencies with the steak and the imbalance in the dessert detracted from a perfect experience. For those seeking a stylish setting with delicious, well-sourced options, The Charter Oak is still worth a visit but maybe steer away from the ribeye.

Our expectations were a little high for this place. The food was good. The pork dish was my favorite! The steak dish was tough and not that flavorful. I would visit in the future, but would select something else besides the beef.

(Tradução do Google) Se você está em Napa e procura o local perfeito para almoçar em um dia de vinícola, Charter Oak é o seu lugar. Este lugar é absolutamente lindo e chique, sendo uma parada ideal entre degustações.A salada de tomate aqui é de morrer. Não é apenas uma salada; é claramente uma colheita colhida ontem ou até hoje. A apresentação é deslumbrante e cada mordida está repleta de sabores frescos e vibrantes que me dizem que é verão. Também comi o prato de peixe que também estava maravilhoso.(Original)If you're in Napa and looking for the perfect lunch spot on a winery day, Charter Oak is your spot. This place is absolutely beautiful and posh, making it an ideal stop between tastings.The tomato salad here is to die for. It's not just a salad; it's clearly a crop picked yesterday or today even. The presentation is stunning, and every bite is bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors that tell me it’s summer. I also had the fish dish which was wonderful as well.

Loved the restaurant property. Cocktails were done right. Ordered aged rib eye, charcoal grilled duck, Spring pea sales and a side of grilled kohlrabi.Most impressed with the charcoal fire station. Ribeye came out exactly medium rare. Duck was also perfectly grilled. Spring pea salad was refreshing.

(Tradução do Google) Era meu aniversário e há anos queria vir aqui! Bela atmosfera, no entanto, os vegetais crus não eram tão bons quanto no Stanly Ranch. Variedade muito menor pelo mesmo preço. O hambúrguer me lembrou In n out, exceto que faltava alface e tomate. Nosso servidor recomendou a abobrinha, embora eu estivesse hesitante. Ele disse “se você não gostar, nós devolvemos”. Eu não gostei. Quando contei ao servidor, toda a sua atitude mudou. Cavalheiro mais velho com rabo de cavalo (cabelos longos e grisalhos. Foi muito amigável no começo, mas como éramos apenas 2 pessoas, senti que ele estava focado exclusivamente na dica e não no serviço). Pelo menos posso riscar isso da minha lista agora. Muito decepcionado, pois sou nativo de Napa e estou no setor.(Original)It was my birthday & I’ve been wanting to come here for years!! Beautiful atmosphere, however, the raw veggies weren’t as good as at Stanly Ranch. Much smaller variety for the same price. The burger reminded me of In n out except it was missing lettuce & tomato. Our server recommended the zucchini though I was hesitant. He said “if you don’t like it, we will take it back”. I didn’t like it. When I told the server, his entire attitude changed. Older gentleman w/ a pony tail(long grey hair. Was so friendly at first but since we were only 2 people, I felt like he was solely focused on the Tip and not the service). At least I can cross it off my list now. Sorely disappointed as I am a Napa native and in the industry.

This is such an awesome restaurant! Every dish was fresh and delicious, with a great local touch and farm-to-table style (the waiter said they have a farm not far from here).We ordered the raw vegetables, chuck eye steak, trout, and milk soft serve. Everything is a perfect, but if I had to pick one, the raw vegetable is a must try! It might look plain, but it was so fresh and the soy dip really surprised me!

The hamburger is tasty and juicy, probably the best in Napa Valley. Really enjoyed their Potluck Series. It’s great food for a fun occasion.We just went to celebrate husband’s birthday. Chef Phil is heading up the kitchen. We had an ‘as fresh as can be’ dinner of 75% of the menu. Utterly amazing. The kitchen goes relatively light on the salt, to highlight the freshness of the ingredients.

(Tradução do Google) Belo cenário com a comida para fazer backup. As entradas foram o destaque. Salada de gemas de bebê, tártaro de carne e verduras mistas eram de primeira qualidade. Para os pratos principais tivemos o Halibut e a ponta de carne que estavam ligeiramente salgadas.(Original)Beautiful setting with the food to back it up. Starters were the highlight. Baby gem salad, beef tartare and the mixed greens were top notch. For main dishes we had the Halibut and the beef tip which were slightly on the salty side.

I've fallen in love with Charter Oak, and after several visits, I feel compelled to share my review to affirm it's truly a destination worth visiting. Charter Oak shines, particularly for large gatherings of more than six people. The reservation process is impressively smooth, effortlessly accommodating my party with exceptional seating and graciously extending our stay by an uninterrupted fifteen minutes beyond our reservation time. The service is outstanding, matched by delightfully delicious dishes that never fail to impress. Having visited The Charter Oak on multiple occasions, I've noticed the menu evolves, maintaining a balance between beloved staples and new introductions, yet the quality, taste, and presentation consistently remain exceptional. The wine selection is remarkable, and the cocktails are equally impressive. A simple pleasure such as their fresh sourdough bread is enough to keep me coming back. I highly recommend this place, especially if you find yourself in the far reaches of Napa Valley, in the St. Helena area. It's a must-visit for an unforgettable dining experience.

I really enjoyed eating here. I thought the burger was delicious. Also got a vegetable tray and that was tasty. The beef tartare was good with the onions but would have preferred more yolk or seasoning with the beef. Frosés were awesome and got them with the aperol. My friend got the eggs for brunch and said they were runny. I thought the garden was beautiful and service was great. I would come back.

Great service and atmosphere! I just came in for drinks but the food looks great! They cook on a coal fired grill! The cocktails were top notch! This is a great place for an intimate meal or group setting! I will come again!

My heart was warm but my food was cold; this was a disappointing one for us. Usually well-researched reservations, the promise of a Michelin star Chef, a stunning space and the romance of Napa are sure bets for a great date night but not this time. The most memorable part of this night was the company and the beautiful space. The Albacore Conserva and Little Gems Salad were fine but not memorable and both entrees were served cold (Bavette Steak was tough and cold; the Sturgeon was cold). If I had to pick a ‘best dish’ it would be the Slow Smoked Beets which were unique and delicious (and arrived hot). Also, two thumbs up on the Mandarin Tart. A very positive shout out to Ruby who made all efforts to improve the situation - thank you! I would absolutely recommend Ciccio (excellent!) and Loveski (causal deli) by the same Chef!

The food is delicious! We ordered two starters: raw vegetables and beef tartare. The raw vegetables were beyond my expectations. Every ingredient inside the dish was so fresh and so tasty. The carrots, the beans, and some unknown vegetables, all of them were sweet even without the sauce. For the beef tartare, I especially like the brioche. The tartare itself didn't look attractive but once inside your mouth you would find it enjoyable.For the main dish we had lamb and roasted cod. The lamb was cooked very well: it still had a crispy surface and the meat was very tender. The cod was also very tender. A very nice experience to eat at this place.

I love places like The Charter Oak Restaurant. High quality food, top notch ingredients yet a very low key and casual ambiance. Backed by the 3 Michelin Star chops of Christopher Kostow from the Restaurant at Meadowood, the Charter Oak brings simple and elegant cooking to the fantastic farm produce they cultivate from the region.We focused mainly on appetizers and I likely over ordered but there are so many delicious sounding items to choose from. Our choices:Charter Oak Bread with House Cultured Butter - Small $8. It’s a generous portion and the bread is fantastic as is the butter.Raw Vegetables from Our Farm $25 - another must order. Chilled, with fantastic variety, you won’t find better tasting or sweeter vegetables anywhere. The soy bean based dip is absolutely amazing and worth saving.This Months Wings $25 - based on a changing monthly menu, it’s what happens when fine dining chefs make wings…they’re juicy, delicious and bursting with flavorAged Beef Chuck Tartare $23 - I love tartare but the mayo based sauce distracted me from the beef flavor. Also the milk bread paled compare to the Charter Oak bread.Hamachi Gardeniera $25 - a miss for me. I found the sour pickled vegetables distracted from the clean hamachi taste and the slices were cut much more thickly than I’m used to for this lovely fishThe Cheeseburger $26 - our sole entree and it is amazing. This isn’t a smash burger with crispy edges…it’s a true burger, cooked medium with insane flavor, juiciness and a very soft roll bread that just envelopes the cheese and the flavors. I loved it.Black Apple Butter Tart $12 - a tad too sweet for me. I count have skipped.The Charter Oak is an anchor institution in St. Helena. Plentiful outdoor and indoor seating. Perfect for kids. Perfect for elderly. Perfect for families. Perfect for couples. Perfect for everyone.Reservations are accepted on Tock and all credit cards including AmEx are accepted.
