Welcome to Calistoga Inn Restaurant & Brewery, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Calistoga, California. With its inviting atmosphere and an impressive culinary offering, this restaurant is where exceptional dining meets local charm.

Stepping into the Calistoga Inn, you’re greeted by a warm ambiance that perfectly balances rustic charm and refined comfort. The restaurant features both indoor and outdoor seating, allowing you to soak in the beautiful Napa Valley weather while enjoying your meal. Picture yourself leisurely sipping on a craft brew from their in-house brewery, surrounded by the natural beauty of the region.

The menu at Calistoga Inn is a treat for the senses. For dinner, the Prime Rib Eye is a showstopper. This 14 oz steak is beautifully grilled and served with either grilled asparagus or a creamy scalloped potato bake, offering a satisfyingly rich experience complemented by your choice of cabernet sauce, béarnaise butter, or zesty chimichurri. If you prefer something with a bit more flair, the Sausage Rigatoni is not to be missed – featuring lamb sausage enveloped in a rich Rancho Gordo bean ragout, this dish bursts with flavor, enhanced by the freshness of arugula and the warmth of chili flakes.

For those dining in groups, the Family Style Menu is an excellent choice. Perfect for parties of 12 or more, guests can enjoy generous platters featuring succulent Skuna Bay Salmon, Chicken Abruzzi, and Skirt Steak enhanced with chimichurri sauce, all served with a delightful selection of seasonal sides.

Came by the bar/brewery on happenstance. We asked about wine tasting options although not on the menu the manager Damian helped us pick a sample of different wines. I have ever received better service in my life. It was clear to me he was deeply passionate about the wine and our experience. 10/10 would recommend ask for Damian to anyone looking for a unpretentious driven sommelier!

A true 5 star experience! Rooms are very comfortable, location is perfect, and the staff are wonderful! Only suggestion would be to add a place to hang clothes, and put a tv in each room. Price is affordable for the area. Don’t be afraid of the shared bathrooms. Toilets and showers are completely private and there is a sink in each room. Highly recommended. Listing says breakfast is free. That is incorrect. However, they do offer free coffee and scones in the lobby. Check out Cafe Sarafornia for breakfast. You won’t be disappointed! Four minute walk from hotel.

We stopped in for a bite after a wine tasting at a vineyard nearby. Craig was our server & he was amazing. We really enjoyed driving through the small town of Calistoga & calling in for a drink & some lunch. The location is wonderful. What we really enjoyed was the outside seating on this beautiful day. The grounds are so unique. I took a stroll inside. It was so nice outside there were no patrons really inside which was just fine. On a day like the day we visited one would be remiss not enjoying a lunch outside. If dining inside the dining room is very nice, welcoming & comfortable. The staff made us feel so welcomed.

What a lovely establishment. My husband and I, a couple of septuagenarians, arrived for dinner at 4:45 pm on a Wednesday. We were seated inside, our preference, despite everyone else eating outside or at the bar. The staff were extremely gracious. I love braised beef short ribs have ordered rhem all across this country, I can honestly say these were the best I've had. Not a fatty, oily piece, but rather a very tasty, lean, but flavorful entrée served in a delicious, rich cabrtnet pan sauce. Nobody batted an eye when I requested a lovely, flavorful, crisp white Italian wine with this. To me, a red would have been too heavy, taking away from the rich flavors of my meal. My husband enjoyed the grilled pork chop as well. We both give our meal, the staff and the lovely restaurant 5 stars.

Restaurant review: I don't get why the reviews aren't great. Most places do a few things well, and if I find those dishes that's what I do at that place. The salmon here is stellar. I came here years back and came twice that trip. Came recently and the salmon was again great. The risotto had too many summer squash in it, but still a great dish. And the wings. For the all restaurants we've eaten at here/st. Helena, they were mostly overrated. This is underrated. Casual and undercover complex.
