Casual atmosphere, great service. We usually come here after a day of winetasting, and every time we get consistently good food and service. It is good if you like a tastefully casual, busy atmosphere. The restaurant is centered around a nice wooden bar area with sports on t.v., so not suited for a quiet romantic evening (good for small groups, though). Chicken and pork tenderloin were good choices.

Great Ribs and Chicken!. Have eaten at RG 4 times in the last couple of years after doing wine-tastings and have never been dissapointed. Part of the Houstons chain, RG sticks to the basics but does it very well. The artichoke/spinach dip with nacho chips is great. The cornbread came in a large iron skillet, big enough for 6 people. The rotisserie chicken and ribs are both tasty. Service is very professional and efficient while the decor is very traditional. A satisfying stop next time you are visiting Napa Valley!

Reservations no taken. Contrary to the website, this place does not take reservations. Tried making reservations for a party of 9 and was told no reservations excepted. Never had a chance to try the food.

Fun tour, beautiful place. We went to Rutherford Hill during the harvest so that made our visit extra special. The tour was informative but a bit long. I guess I'm cheap but I wished it wasn't so expensive ($10-$15 for tour and tasting) while other places only charge once for a lifetime of tours and tasting. But what do I know. Otherwise, I would consider taking out of town visitors there over and over again. There are lots of picnic tables and gardens. I always have to comment about the staff...they were friendly and not pretentious. Overall, a wonderful time and I would love to go again.

it's the greel deel. This little restaurant is a david in a plethora of giants... it'll knock you dead! The food is so deeeelicious, from the appetizers (eg iron skillet cornbread) to the desserts (eg oreo cookies and cream), that your glands will never stop salivatin'. With all the great looking chickens on the rotissiere, one might be tempted to think that the only thing here was the great chicken dishes but it isn't the case. The vegetable plate is a find for the vegetarian but prepare to eat hearty 'cause this ain't no little french sized plate. There are so many great items, garlic mashed potatoes, wild rice salad, etc) that you're gonna have to come back again and again and again. And don't forget to take a bone home for the dog everytime, compliments of the establishment!
