Wow... Bravo Coles! There wasn't a single negative aspect about this dinner. The wedge salad, great. The steak, cooked perfectly. Two thumbs up to the pecan pie and apple crisp. Great service, great value, great great experience. Thank you so much for an outstanding experience.

Pros: salad, breakfast, cocktails, steak, service, valet, value

Cons: that its in napa and not seattle :)

I would strongly NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone, because of its customer service.. it is the worst I have ever experience in my 25 years of event planning. I was never given a chance to get to their food, which was rated by one of the customers leaving the restaurant as "mediocre", but after the rude treatment by the MANAGER when being seated, we left without eating. I will not return.

Pros: Nice Music

Cons: Customer Service Non Existant

Thick Steaks, great red wine, and Sinatra music in the background. What's not to like ? Plus the food and service is top notch. My recent trip to Napa Valley was my first and I knew that the table of twelve I was hosting would appreciate a good start to our wine country experience. The staff was quite friendly and helpful, beginning with the bartender who generously assisted me in selecting a wine for dinner (tastings are quite useful in that regard). My guests completely enjoyed the Cole's Chop House ambiance, which includes sufficent room to enjoy the experience,i.e., you are not crammed into a space too small for the patrons. Of course the my New York Strip was great. It should be. Rave reviews from my guests told me that Cole's Chop House is the perfect venue for a dinner party. P.S. the Snowden Cab outpoints the Hall Cab, beyond any question.

Pros: A top restaurant with an informal, neighborhood feel.

Cons: None.

My wife & I both enjoyed Cole's thoroughly. Steak was best I've had in several years. Drinks were good, sides, appetizers, salad and desert all perfectly prepared. With a bottle of wine, we spent about $160 for the two of us, but felt the price was deserved. We will definitely be returning. Must have a reservation.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Pricey, but worth it

I love Coles - the food and service is always excellent, They know how to cook a steak (or lamb for that matter) - you ask for it cooked just as you want it and thats how it comes - everytime. Their hashbrowned potatoes are to die for. Great selection of sides, which are good sized so easy to share. Bartenters are always fun and make a great drink. They also have outdoor seating which on a warm summer night is fantastic. Can't say enough about it. Only downfall is it is pretty expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Pros: Food, Staff

Cons: Price (but it's worth it)

I can't rave enough about this place. The food was great, but the service was exceptional. While the menu can sometimes leave a person with "sticker shock", our waiter encouraged us to share our food, letting us know that it was restaurant policy to do so. My steak was incredibly seasoned--without the chef's using cheap tricks like wrapping it in bacon for flavor--and perfectly cooked to my liking (on the rare side of medium rare). It melted in my mouth. The kids shared meals with one another, and our waiter entertained them enthusiastically (he later told us he was going to school to become an elementary school teacher). The wine list provided a good array of price points and a great sampling of the local potables. The place was a winner in our books.

Pros: Fantastic service, Great steaks +, Comfortable atmospher

Cons: Not close to me!

Delicious steaks, wonderful sides, great starters and an absolutely fantastic wine list made this a memorable dining experience for our first-ever trip to Napa. The service was extraordinary too. It was pricey, but worth every penny.

Have eaten here many times and has always been excellent. The only true steak house in Napa Valley.

Cons: a little pricey

I am a wine country native and enjoy all of the culinary delights that we have available. I have visited Cole's Chop House numerous times and have always found it exactly as I would like a steak house to be - courteous, efficient service; well rounded and reasonably priced wine list; very attractive, old world atmosphere; conceptually simple food with a modern zip; and not a hint of pretention anywhere. Definitely worth a try.

Peekytoe crab? You bet, served in a snazzy martini glass along with house-made cocktail sauce. Oysters Rockefeller come to the table bubbling over with cheese and spinach. These are the classics that Cole's adds its own flare to. Entrees are just as straightforward, from grilled-to-order beef or simply prepared filets of seafood, it is tough to disappoint. Paired with fresh asparagus or famous potatoes - this place is one of my favorites for sure.
