Calistoga Inn Brewery

My wife and I went to this restaurant for dinner on a Sunday night. We ordered the prime rib and braised short ribs. The food was mediocre at best. The prime rib was overcooked and the short rib lacked flavor. The server was friendly and efficient. The highlight of the meal was the strong cocktail. Overall, I believe the prices are too high for the quality of food, but it is still a decent restaurant.

As we looked over the menus, I was disappointed to find that the pasta dish I had been craving was only available on the summer menu. However, I settled for another pasta option - orecchiette with cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, kale, and shallot confit in a white wine sauce - which turned out to be quite delicious, especially after adding some fresh black pepper. My husband ordered the lamb shank, which was tender and flavorful, accompanied by polenta and root veggies that complemented the dish perfectly. To accompany our meal, we each ordered a cocktail - the Grand Manhattan, which packed a strong punch, and the autumn Sangria, which, while tasty, lacked a noticeable alcohol flavor. We also enjoyed the live dinner music that played in the background as we dined. Despite not being able to order my first choice dish (we were assured the outside menu would be updated), we had a truly enjoyable and satisfying dinner experience.

Despite the light rain, we had a relaxing evening with great company dining on the outdoor patio under a canopy. Our group organizer set up a 3-course fixed price menu for us: a fall mixed salad with gorgonzola, grilled skirt steak, and a baked blackberry crisp with vanilla ice cream. The portions were very generous! When the salad was served, we thought it was meant to be shared because of its size. The same went for the blackberry crisp (or maybe it was a crumble). The salad was tossed in a light, sweet pear vinaigrette, which we all enjoyed. The skirt steak was incredibly tender and perfectly grilled to a medium doneness. It was marinated well and didn't need any added sauce. Even though we thought we were too full for dessert after two courses, we all managed to find room for the delicious blackberry dessert. The men finished their bowls quickly, while the women savored every last bite of the ice cream and crumble. If only we could have taken leftovers home!

We had the welcome party for my wedding here in May the team was amazing and made the party a huge success! The food was terrific I swear, a woman I haven’t seen eat a carb in years ate 3 pieces of that pizza!!! and everyone had a great time. Lindsay was super responsive and helpful during the planning process and was extremely reassuring when it was clear that it would rain the whole night and the event was outside. They were able to cover the entire area and provide heat lamps, saving the day! The night of, Bobby was fantastic, as was the rest of the waitstaff. Many, many thanks!!! Service: 5 Location: 5

Pretty lousy experience. Prices are above market but the room we got was subpar. Dark, dingy, a little grimy, dollar store shampoo. And also: Door handle to bathroom was broken and came off in my hand, let management know and they sent a guy over who said there was nothing he could do. Stayed all weekend and it never got fixed, then at checkout the kinda spacey and hostile clerk said “the manager said you were alright with it.” Hmm don’t remember saying that, but if it saved you $20 at Home Depot go ahead and gaslight me instead of doing your job.
