Empire Napa

This is the ONLY real lounge in Napa and they have done it with great style.  It is eclectic and sexy.  The small plates are fabulous and the drinks are tasty.  Nick is a great host and makes you feel special.  The service was excellent.  Bring a group, hang out, visit, and enjoy the evening.  It would also be a fun spot for a date or romantic post dinner evening.  We will keep going back!

It is very "New York" and a gift to Napa Valley. I like the dark Omanis vibe and the jelly fish aquarium. Everyone should check it out to to understand why it's so great.

This is not a restaurant but definitely an uber-cool late night lounge. That's why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of fewer. The cocktails are interesting, the food was very tasty, but the food seems over-priced. This was our mistake, expecting to have a full dinner at 9:30 when most nearby restaurants have closed. I love small plates, but these are super-tiny. We ended up ordering over a dozen items to have a light dinner.

It's definitely more a pre or post-dinner spot. Very, very loud music (again, a lounge, not restaurant).
