Our waiter Chris was phenomenal. He had great suggestions. He was polite and so kind. We had my elderly father with us and he made sure we were comfortable. I was visiting from Arizona so it was an awesome experience. I’ll go back each time I visit Memphis.

I have been to Napa Cafe about 6-7 times in my life, and it keeps getting better and better each time. First of all, Glenda, the owner of- is as sweet as apple pie - and she runs a tight ship. My Salmon with black rice was excellent. I never order Salmon out cause I make a great Salmon at home - but hers was better than mine. I am putting Napa on our rotation. Congrats on running such a great restaurant - especially in such a difficult enviorment.

The sea bass is always amazing. Cooked perfectly as usual and tasty. The sauce on the fish was just sweet enough and went well with the black rice and spinach. Service was great. We usually seem to get the same waitress who is exceptionally well trained and knows about the dishes and how they are prepared. One of our favorite places to go for a special occasion or just to enjoy a quality meal

It was a last minute reservation, and we were grateful. The decorated, outside courtyard is unique and inviting. We were warmly greeted by sweet hostess and a server while taking our seats. Bartenders and a variety of servers were accommodating, informative, and attentive. We really enjoyed the drinks, appetizer, soup, salad, and short rib. Another staff member ensured we were pleased while leaving. We will definitely return! Top notch.
