Customer Reviews
What an amazing experience. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was wonderful. We definitely picked the perfect spot to celebrate my husband's 30th birthday. Our server, Michael, was very friendly and helpful, and we even learned some very interesting facts from him! We can't wait to come back. Thank you!
Went with my partner for Valentine’s Day and the staff and atmosphere was super lovely. The food was tasty and I’m excited to try other menu items. Teresa was the best and made the experience 10x better. Definitely coming back because of her.
All I said was good morning, and my neighbor says "if you take him he'll buy you lunch at La Costanera Restaurant" Take who..where..I said..and he says..my friend Wally..he's a hunchback, and has trouble sitting in cars, and needs a ride back to Half Moon Bay, but the shuttle bus that brought him to Napa wasn't running for another 3 days, so can you take him, he'll sit in the back of your truck, and you can strap him down so he doesn't bounce around. Well, I thought about it, real hard because it's illegal for sure ..but the thought of eating at La Costanera outweighed all else! My neighbor had a big cardboard box that his new refrigerator came in, and we put It in the back of the truck, and put Wally the hunchback in it, strapped it down and off we went! And Man-O-Man was that a lunch!
This was the absolute best Peruvian I've ever had. So flavorful, delicious and plated nicely. The service was great as was the atmosphere. Wish we lived closer. My main course was so good I ate it before I got a picture. My husband got the lamb and potato lasagna looking thing (very fancy description I know). The other pic is their tuna tartar or ceviche (😬 I forget which), but it was AMAZING!!
The vegetarian food was average - paella felt bland and not as flavorful, the yucca fries felt too dry, the corn cob and desserts were good. The outside patio was nice with the heater. Sadly I didn’t get a good level of service which made the experience average. My first drink order was mixed up which caused a delay, then when I wanted to order second drink, I asked the server for menu which they brought but didn’t wait or come back to take the order, and by the time I was asked for drink order I had already finished my meal. Then after the appetizers, the server took the plate and asked to hold on to my silverware which was fine but then totally forgot about bringing the new plate and was chatting with other servers for a while until I waved and had to remind that I was still waiting on t
