    The atmosphere was the highlight of our dinner at this restaurant. The food was so substandard and overpriced. The best part of the meal was the milk, bread and butter. The ribeye steak was tough and did not have the tenderness a ribeye is known for. I would not want to venture a guess at what the grade of the meat was for this . The burger was less than stellar as well. It was a very nice presentation, but the meat was flavorless, but cooked properly. Overall, a disappointing experience and will not be returning.

    Absolutely loved our dining experience at Goose and Gander. Having previously popped in during a Napa trip we knew the bar downstairs had a couple of tables to eat at, so we arrived a little early for our 5.15pm reservation and opted to sit downstairs where there's a great atmosphere. We picked the wood fired cauliflower and corn tots as appetizers and both were amazing. I had a Dungeness crab salad which was light and refreshing, and my partner opted for the chicken, also wood fired and supremely juicy. Wines are all delicious and of course, for any good wine country spot, there was a wide selection. Highly recommend as a perfect way to cap a day of wine tasting.

    I ordered my steak well done with extra salt and pepper seasoning and no sauce that they put on it. It came out medium rare. I sent it back which is not a problem because most places cook by time and not temperature. When it came back parts of the steak were medium and others medium well. There was no seasoning at all and it came with the sauce. Management was great and comped my meal. The chief was really off and for a first experience it was memorable unfortunately even though service was good . I am there to eat food and that did not happen.

    We had an amazing time dining here last night. Our server, Annie was wonderful and we also had a great experience with the Somm, Christina. Both Annie and Christina worked together and never missed a beat. They were friendly, informative, and made us feel incredibly welcome. I had the Halibut and my friend enjoyed the special of the night, crab bucatini. Both dishes were delicious! We are looking forward to visiting again in the Spring.

    I’ve had the pleasure of making it to G&G for several years now. 5x reigning champion (IMHO) burger. Definitely add the bone marrow on top. Mushroom soup has also been amazing every single time. The consistency they deliver in both food and service is unmatched for that price point and type of restaurant. Bravo yet again and thank you! Note- This was the first time going with a 4.5 year old and she also loved it!
