The ostrich burger & truffle fries that accompany it are very good. But the Five Dot Ranch Short Rib is absolutely fantastic and pairs excellent with wine . Twix bar dessert is killer to finish it off!
Ask McKenzie about bubbles at happy hour everyday of the week. Check in with a photo on Foursquare and something almost too good to let slip will happen, as long as GM Jim isn't watching too closely.
Add this place to the ever growing list of why I need to move to Napa! Beside the fact that every dish was amazing, the house made Buratta was euphoric. Split as many of the small dishes as you can!
Try the Fried Green Tomatoes : Fresh sweet corn cake , housemade bacon , tomato emulsion, habañero oil, crispy arugula , a poached egg w/a Secret sauce! "Movies to Dine For" NVFF Foodspotting menu item. Read more
Nice casual place that has good small plates as well as nice wine/beer selection without any unnecessary pomp. The burrata app is probably something like you've ever had, so try it.
Excellent small plates . Try the butternut squash risotto balls or the roasted garlic goat cheese dip with pepitas. Wine selection is extensive.
The Quack and Cheese is a great snack . Just like Mac and Cheese , but it includes Crispy Duck Skin. Of course, the wine and food pairing here are beyond compare.
The ostrich burger is delicious! Comes with a Brie cheese that totally completes the burger . Highly recommended 👌
Sit outside in the sunshine with a flight of bubbles 🍾
Went here for happy hour . It was amazing. Get the goat cheese dip and the mini quack and cheese . Yummm
Fantastic meal. Sommelier made excellent recommendations to match our courses. Would definitely go back.

Carpe Diem actively utilizes Foursquare for check-in specials and freebies. I got a free truffle popcorn !
Excellent food. Service is dependent on mood of server. Ours was not cool. Beware of the 4sq special. Only one order per group allowed, even tho special says otherwise.
Love a good burger ? Then don’t miss out on the Ostrich burger with the side of truffle fries . Simply delicious!

Ask co-owner and wine bar guru Steve Distler to surprise you on your next glass. You won't be disappointed.
Margerita flat bread and harissa clay pot with lamb are amazeballs
