Reviews for Carpe Diem Restaurant & Bar in Napa, CA
Wonderful corner restaurant with a small feel and amazing dishes. They have outdoor seating as well to accommodate more people.... We had a Cesar salad and Octopus salad (highly recommended), and a NY Strip plus and the Short Ribs with Mushroom Risotto.Everything smelled fantastic and tasted amazing! The NY Strip came with a broccoli puree dip that was so tasty; even for thosewho don't like to put anything else on their meat it had to be done due to its flavor. The Short Ribs did not need any coaxingto fall apart and paired nicely with the risotto. It had a good bit of salt but that's what assisted with the risotto. We weretoo stuffed to have any dessert! The mixed drinks (only had 1) are unique and they are very happy with their pouring. Highlyrecommend to go and try something new. Read more
Food was very great and impressive. Ambiance was nice. Service was a bit odd at times but overall fine. Drinks were great too.
Nice classy place. The owner was very welcoming and even gave me some background on the building. The meal was fantastic. I had... the Sweet Chili Calamari to start and the breading was nice and flaky, calamari was tender. After I had the Frenched Lamb rack.It was cooked to a perfect medium per my opinion (which is debatable). And paired with a local Pinot Noir, Crisp home fries andFrench green beans. The meal and atmosphere were calming. I had an outside table and got some good pics. DEFINITELY recommend! Read more

Great ambiance, good food, overall cool place for date night, couples' night, or even family night. Wanted to try this place a... few visits ago so this time I was determined to make it happen. The food is delish and offers a variety of different cuisine.They have everything from pasta, burgers, steak, seafood....it's endless and everyone is sure to find something they like. Ourgroup had a few cocktails which were good, but we also brought a bottle of champagne, and the corkage is $20. Service wasgreat. Forgot our servers name but he and his team were very attentive, granted it was super busy. Parking can be a challengesince it's downtown, but it's not the worst. Cool place with good drinks and food; I would definitely return. Read more

My squid ink Fettuccine is very delicious and huge shrimp ???? Octopus salad: the octopus are so tender! Mary’s chicken-... roasted poblano sauce is excellent, chicken undercooked near the bone ! Read more
Followed the recommendations from yelp. The charcuterie board was rather okay-ish, but in my opinion too little cheese for 36... USD. The wines on tap (by the glass) were a bit disappointing, the good ones were only served by the bottle. The espressomartini was good though. The service however could be better. We felt like it was more sales than service, always trying toconvince us to order more food. Could have been a bit more subtle. Read more
