Compline Restaurant

With a new chef we decided to give this place a try. It’s tucked away off of 1st street. Service was immaculate. Food was rich and tasty. For my partner who prefers quantity it was a bit disappointing. Otherwise all was good. Nice atmosphere

We celebrated a birthday here, and it was an exceptional experience. The host recommended a fried chicken appetizer to pair with our bottle of Bubbles (sparkling wine)—a surprisingly delicious combination. Their famous duck fat fries are absolutely to die for. This is truly a place where food becomes a lasting memory.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Compline Restaurant in Napa, and it was such a delightful experience! My friend had been wanting to try their famous duck fat fries, and they did not disappoint — absolutely delicious and well worth it.

For lunch, we opted for the sandwich of the day, which was a BLT, and paired it with some fun drinks.

Another nice touch is that Compline is dog-friendly, which is such a great option for anyone wanting to bring their pets a

Compline is where flavor meets artistry. From the first bite to the last sip, everything sang in harmony.

But the true surprise was the fried chicken with polenta—golden, tender, and soul-satisfying, even for this Southern heart raised on the real deal. Paired with world-class wines that danced perfectly alongside each dish, the evening was nothing short of magical. A place where food becomes memory. We’ll absolutely be back!

We really wanted to like this restaurant. We come to Napa annually, and this year all our evening restaurant visits were good ( Angele, Torc, Press, Farm, French Laundry ). The wine list is fantastic, the service good, but the food was awful. The crab, dry, salty and uninspired. The Uni pasta was a decent carbonara but the uni was overpowered by the pork. But the duck.. microwaved, pre cooked and gray. I cook duck breast often and order it often. Medium rare should be red and juicy.. not dry, hard and gray. Inedible I’m sad because we love Burgundy, and their wine list is amazing,, but the food isn’t
