It is our favorite restaurant in Memphis. It is consistently good. On the weekends their is a live performer who is excellent. Never thought it could get better, but it has. They changed their menu. We tried 2 of their items and they are both delicious! Still our favorite restaurant!!

We enjoy dining at Napa Cafe for special occasions and particularly love seeing what’s new on the menu. Last night we brought two out of town guests who live near the coast and have seafood regularly in their home towns. Because of our guests, we were disappointed that the new menu featured too many seafood items. Don’t get me wrong, we enjoyed our dinner, but some of us didn’t want seafood. All of the apps were seafood except one, and most were shellfish, which we couldn’t eat due to an allergy. We also felt like the new entrees didn’t include enough non seafood options, and no one wants beef ragout when it’s 90 degrees outside. PS Jan always does a great job!
