Pretty awesome food though I wouldn't get the red pepper soup. The turkey bolognese was to die for! It reminded me of Ali grea in malibu! My waiter was great, he remembered everything and was really nice and explanatory. I would definitely go there again. Pros: Great atmosphere, nice waiters, clean, great bolognese and lovely tea. more

I went to Napa Valley Grille on a Fri night with 2 friends and was surprised to find out they had a happy hour going on. Their happy hour times can be found on their website. We sat in the back patio on couches and lounge chairs which was a really nice atmosphere. I had their orchard apple sangria I believe, and we ordered a pitcher which was only $12 and definitely worth it. The mac and cheese off the happy hour menu was extremely delicious, the fish taco was very tasty but small (they only give you 1) and their slider was also pretty small but not bad. I loved the chic atmosphere, lounging on the outside patio in nice weather. They had a great selection of drinks and small bites to eat for their happy hour and I will definitely come back again. The prices were very appealing as well. The service was good, with the waiter checking up on us every once in a while to see if we needed anything. Next time, I will definitely order a serving of the mac n cheese plate for myself! =) more

Love this place more and more over the last year or two. I don't cook so I eat out for almost all meals and since I live in Beverly Hills, I frequent the Bev Hills/Westwood areas. Pros: Food...Service...Attention Cons: Brunch is only on Sundays..Too good to wait 6 days for more

Whether it's a free sangria on Tax Day, or 20% off a 5 course meal, Napa Valley Grille is not shy about dealing out the freebies and discounts on Twitter. And with Hollywood A-listers frequently visiting the restaurant, you might even get a free show out of the meal, too. [Twitter Handle: @nvgwestwood] more

Location is great - near UCLA and lots of foot traffic and shops. Food was top notch - the kitchen is playing for keeps - big & varied menu, tons of wine, huge space, casual yet upscale - how could this be our first time? We will be back for certain - and did I mention all the wine... BOOM! Pros: Food, Food, Food Cons: Nothing comes to mind more

DECOURM Pros: entrees, service, complimentary xtras Cons: dessert not up to par w/ the entrees more

Theres nothing worse than bad attitude to ruin a meal.My Husband,toddler and l are currently in LA on Vacation and we are staying at the W hotel in the Westwood area of the City.We were recommended by the concierge to dine at Napa Grille because they are known for their fresh food. as well as its proximity to the hotel.The two Ladies at the front house had the weirdest vibe, l am not sure if they had never seen or met a mixed race couple before but l got the impression they had been forced to be there without proper training.They never made eye contact,never smiled.One of them just indicated we should take any of the tables, nobody walked us to the table or formally welcomed us in, unlike other guests who i saw were been walked to their tables.l caught one of them staring at me in the oddest way a few times.Its the strangest thing where you have a country whose President is obviously from a mixed heritage and where there are so many different races and interracial couples, you still find some of the oddest individuals who give you the most ignorant looks like they have never been outside of their four block radius.The waiter who served us was cordial and good, and the food was okay,however my bad experience continued when we finished dinner and the Lady again at the front house did not even raise her head to say anything, no goodbye,thank you, come again, nothing! Overall, a total waste of my precious afternoon.And so, l would say, if you are a specific race, you would most probably be welcome here, atleast until they replace the women at the front house or give them proper etiquette lessons on how to be professional to everyone without exception. more

I had a baby shower held here and we had problems. First the menu was not set right and for the price (which was way too over priced), the food was not great. You're definitely paying for the atmosphere. more

WOW... what a resurgence this place has made. My office has been a block away since NVG opened and it's better now than ever. New management (summer '08) is much more friendly and professional and the chef really ""gets it."" The 40 minute guaranteed Business Lunch is a great idea and great execution and the dishes are as light and heathy or as plentiful as you like.... all with being created from some of the freshest ingredients i've had. Pros: Service... food .... Calif wine list... Great for parties of any size Cons: meals aren't inexpensive, but what is !?!?! more

There is Valet parking and a parking garage near by which is very helpful! The food is fantastic! Always try their soups they are delicious!!! Pros: Food, service, ambiance Cons: A little pricey more

Definitely a 'reservations'/occasion type place. Fancy, quiet, upscale hotel like atmosphere. Professional staff, impressive menu and wine list . The corn chowder is not to be missed. I can't wait till I can go back and have it again. Selection of fresh fish. Cookie plate for dessert is great too. more

Gather some good company and grab a table outside on a beautiful day - good food and awesome setting. Perfect for a girls' luncheon. more

Very tasty. Just wish they'd open later, so I can splurge on all the dessert. more

The dinner here is fantastic if paired with the right wine. There's always someone on staff who will help with that task. The service can be a bit slow but it adds to the relaxed atmosphere of the place. A bit pricey but totally worth it. Pros: Great food, wine list, service Cons: Expensive more

I found the food quite excellent and beautifully paired the roasted pork tenderloin was devine perfectly cooked and paired with a wonderful madeira prune reduction not overdone, the yellowfun tuna ""nicoise"" could have been predictable but the yellowfun tuna was seared perfectly and melted in my mouth. A relaxing scene and really lovely food--chef Anne Conness has done a great job! more

I've eaten here a few times, but only at the bar. Wine (single-glass) list is impressive, better than some of the Santa Monica restaurants. Bruschetta is great, especially the ones with figs and goat cheese. It was just the perfect concoction. Shrimp cocktail with avocado was also a pleasant surprise. And most of all, I love their duck, I believe it was roasted with lavender. The duck sauce made with red wine was a little muddy, I was expecting something lighter, perhaps fruiter to cut through the grease, but that was the only upset. My date didn't like his swordfish with the cheesy potato, I happened to agree. The swordfish was overcooked, and the cheese was too strong. Pros: Nice Ambience, Great Service, Great Duck Cons: Don't order swordfish, Parking more
