    We have enjoyed two fabulous dinners at this lovely restaurant. The owners were extremely friendly and attentive. We highly recommend enjoying an epicurean delightful dinner while enjoying a delicious glass of your favorite Napa wine. PS, For years I have searched for a restaurant serving Duck a l’orange and I finally found it at Carpe Diem Napa. Delicious!

    A friend and I had a lovely dinner yesterday on Sunday. The restaurant was very comfortable and reasonably quiet. We had Maggie as our server, and she did a fantastic job and taking care of us and attending to my friends dietary restrictions. They delivered great food with her adjustments. Both had a best salad, she had the filet and I had the ribeye. Both perfectly cooked accompanied with very well prepared vegetables. I had a smoked old fashioned which was so good. A great local place in Napa for a wonderful dinner. They also have a bar in the other room when you first walk in.
