   This place is SO incredibly expensive it’s unbelievable! Appetizers were so pricey they beat out entrees. Wines by the glass, for example, were $50 for a small Zinfandel that was not even fresh. Desserts were incredibly tasty but for the price I would not recommend unless you had big bucks to throw around.

   The experience was amazing. Each course was creative and cooked to perfection. The staff was engaging, helpful, and fun to be around. This restaurant is a gem and has now become my favorite Napa Italian restaurant.

   Excellent restaurant with beautiful flatware, China and glasses. Limited menu at this time due to “pop up” temp location. Excellent service with food and wine prices to support. Wine list is limited on California Chardonnay and cab but extensive on French burg and Bordeaux. One of the few places up in Napa where one can find wine with age. Shop the list carefully. Many are over priced but there are some well priced french options. We won’t know c29s real potential until they are in their new and permanent home. Corkage policy $75 unless equivalent bottle is purchased. Seems aggressive in Napa which is a destination that actually promotes wine consumption. Suggest a change in policy to $75 unless you purchase a wine of $200 or higher. I wish this restaurant success because it’s taking a risk and delivering a real fine dining experience. The experience here is a cut above virtually all restaurants in Yountville and st helena (save the laundry and press). Limiting my rating at this time until they move to their perm location down the street.

   Truly the best in Napa. Same as Capo in LA. Nothing better. Chef Bruce Marder is a legend.

   THE MOST EXPENSIVE RESTAURANT IN ST. HELENA. With a totally unreasonable corkage charge and a mandatory 20% tip on top of a $75 corkage fee - (real fee is $90) I don't expect this place to be around very long

    This pop up, soft open has the look and feel of a great restaurant. Front of house staff was wonderful even given the newness of menu etc. However, main courses were sadly lacking (particularly in light of pricing!!); salt instead of flavor seemed to be the technique. More work to do if they hope to pull locals and garner a reputation in St Helena fine dining.
