About the Business

Specialties

Napa Valley Bistro was opened in 2013 by chefs Bernardo Ayala and Ernesto Martinez, (also co-owner of Market in St. Helena). Their friendship and working relationship, which has lasted over 20 years was so successful, they decided to pool their resources and stake a claim in downtown Napa's expanding culinary scene. Their aim was to create their own version of classic world cuisine in a comfortable space where family and community could gather for any occasion. The twist is evident in the menus, which sample fare from around the globe. Guests can choose from traditionally prepared Mexican Empanadas or timeless American favorites like the Lamb Burger and St. Louis Ribs. Other options include Vegetarian Spring Rolls, Chinese Chicken Salad and Seasonal Risotto. Our Wine & Beer List includes local wines leaning toward small producers & craft brews.

History

Established in 2013.

This is a joint venture by two local chefs, Bernardo Ayala (former Executive Chef of Silverado Brewing Company and Sous Chef of Napa Valley Grille), and Ernesto Martinez (Chef and Owner of Market in St. Helena). Together they have over 25 years of experience in the culinary arts. They have joined forces to present sustainable, creative American comfort food in an inviting atmosphere with excellent service designed to ensure that locals and non-locals return again and again. With short success, we look forward to many more years serving Napa.
