    The drinks were beautiful and done well. The handmade pasta ravioli with lobster, ricotta and lemon was phenomenal as well as the salmon. Enjoyed sharing the mixed berry shortcake with vanilla bean ice cream ( not too sweet ); delightful. The servers were personable, knowledgeable, attentive without being disruptive. Enjoyed our window seat to car and people watch while we dined. We’ll be back :-)

    Once again, Mustard’s delivers another wonderful dining experience…on Valentines Day no less! Great service by our server, Lonnie! Delicious entrees and well made cocktails hit the spot. My wife had a salad with crab cakes and was very pleased. I had the lamb shank, which was prepared perfectly. If you go to Napa Valley, you must go to Mustard’s.
