Andaz Farmer’s Table

I was intending to go to another local favorite breakfast restaurant in the downtown Napa area, but they were closed for remodeling. I scanned Unilocal reviews for other open restaurants nearby and found Andaz. Stepping in you will find a lovely warm environment, in spite of floor to ceiling Windows and modern, yet pseudo-​rustic décor.. I ordered the Farmer’s Breakfast and was a pretty happy camper, overall. The eggs were fresh and delicious, as were the chicken-​apple link sausages. My only disappointment was the fact that their pastry selection was not abundant. In fact, they were out of everything except chocolate croissants at 10:00 AM! I opted, instead of my original choice of a blueberry muffin, for the Greek yogurt and granola, which was delicious! Service was good, but slightly slow. Nonetheless, I would happily return to this restaurant at some point in the future.
* A nice touch — as I was leaving my server offered me a coffee to go. If I had a choice of 4.5 I would move this rating up.

I stayed at the Andaz before and love their breakfast and brunch here. Everything was fresh, farm to table fresh. One of my favorite restaurants in Napa Valley for breakfast, Andaz Farmers Table serves handcrafted dishes created with vibrant local produce and creative dishes.
With its rustic, communal ambiance, the Farmers Table offers a delicious menu of healthy breakfast fare, from our organic fruit to the stuffed baguette French toast. From Harvest Quiche with bacon, onion, peppers, cheddar, sides of sautéed kale and spiced potatoes, yummy. To the Shrimp Benedict with sautéed spinach, tomato, onion, lemon juice, poached eggs, chipotle béarnaise, on a butter croissant, try this next time.
They emphasize on local ingredients and consciously sourced products, they offer all cage-​free eggs. And chef will make something off the menu for you as well.
Always great service here!

So we had a few meals there this weekend because it was convenient and the food is good especially the $ 5.00 English Muffin. I know it sounds crazy but it’s amazing!!! The Lox plate is also fantastic with plenty of arugula. Pass on the quiche, nothing special there. The reason I gave them two stars is the service was extremely slow. If you book a wine tour or are on any sort of schedule, you won’t make the timeline. It’s not the servers fault, the kitchen is slow. When they made my first plate with potatoes, I laughed at the server and pointed out how over cooked they were. Take a look at the photos. They brought me a second serving of the potatoes and I was ready to get on the road. I am surprised the kitchen allowed potatoes to be served in that condition.

I eat often and Napa and this place has some of the best food I’ve had. Clean, fresh and great tasting options. Great hotel, great food. Defiantly be a repeat client!

I liked it from the moment I stepped in … attractive rustic décor, with a warm (especially near the fireplace!), peaceful, and comfortable atmosphere. I enjoyed the little added touches (the silverware rolled in a nice-​quality, thick white cloth napkin, simply tied with twine, which sat within their cool mug — to be placed on the table by our server; the butter and jams/​jellies presented in personal-​sized little jars).
Our breakfast entrees were nice portions, attractive in presentation, and satisfying. Service was very professional, attentive, and appreciatively not rushed. Great start before wine tasting in Napa!

My husband and I ate breakfast here every morning during our stay at Andaz Napa. I tried out different dishes each day, and overall the quality was fresh. Some dishes were really good, while others were simple and not as memorable.
The most memorable dishes were the Shrimp Benedict and Bacon & Banana Pancakes. The benedict came with nicely cooked eggs, but I didn’t care for the sauce as much (it was tangy). I liked the savory and sweet combination of the pancakes.
We also tried the Wine Away Juice, which was tasty and fresh. The quality of the coffee here was good as well.
The one downside was that service was extremely slow every day, even at times when there weren’t that many diners at the restaurant. However, the staff was friendly and checked in on us enough.

Ate here 3 times now. We stay at the andaz every time we’re in Napa and we look forward to breakfast at farmers table.
Here’s the low down:
— baguette French toast: unique in that they use a harder baguette than the typical brioche– crispy on outside, nice and sweet on the inside, even without syrup. Portion is generous. Pear purée topping makes it fancy. Very good.
— chorizo hash: all the boys loved this dish the best. Super hearty with quartered fried potatoes and short rib with a perfectly cooked egg over easy. Flavor is fantastic.
— breakfast sandwich is a great choice too if you feel like using your hands. They use short rib, egg over easy and fresh arugula. Hearty and good. Potatoes on the side.
— my favorite is the oatmeal. I know, o know (oatmeal???), but it is steel cooked oats with quinoa mixed with their amazing pear jam and maybe maple syrup or honey topped with nuts. Not sure if I’m missing any other components but I absolutely love their unique oatmeal– just the right amount of sweetness (natural, not like the fake sweet stuff) and crunch. Not to mention, this dish is a great source of fiber… Always need fiber when drinking wine!
— yogurt is amazing as well– it’s like the oatmeal but with a thick, creamy Greek yogurt topped with granola, nuts and fresh sliced peaches. Yum.
— their bacon is thick cut if you’re in the mood. Perfectly crisp.
— shrimp Benedict– nice and hearty. Shrimp is meaty and hollandaise sauce is on point for a creamy texture over the poached eggs.
Yeah, we pretty much had everything on the menu and can tell you that everything is good depending on what you feel like eating.
Service is great. They are so nice and friendly. The only unfortunate thing about this place is that they take a long time to make breakfast. Other than that– great menu, great food, great service. Reminds me of brunch spots in Portland :)

Nice place to relax and enjoy cocktails and bites. More so if this is your hotel, had several cocktails and no driving was necessary. Very inviting open airy bar and sitting. Also some more enclosed, romantic areas, cabana style curtain areas. Andaz is a beautiful hotel, their restaurant is just as inviting located in the terrace.

Great restaurant for locally sourced produce and meats. Really enjoy the venue in the Andaz hotel. Service was attentive and professional. Carter does a great job providing recommendations and provides stellar service. Dined here 5x, one of favorite breakfast spots in downtown Napa.

Food is so very good. Ordered the following:
1) english muffin with egg white
2) eggs, potatoes and bread
3) parfait
Every thing mentioned above was really very good. Didn’t had high expectations from the hotel food but i was blown away. They told me that they make their own granola and it was the best i had till date.
Must go place to have breakfast.

Went in there in a hoodie and was treated like sh*t. Took days to be seated, days to have a mimosa brought to me, days to get change… So I tipped like an ass hole just how they were expecting. I’m usually 25%+… Yuppie ars holes

The food I’ve had from here is great! Chimichurri skirt steak was medium and tender, chicken wasn’t dry at all, and even the potato salad was worth seconds. And I normally don’t like restaurant potato salad. The rustic theme and the fireplace make it an intimate and welcoming setting. I was very pleased with the service and will most definitely come here again.

Stayed at Andaz and had breakfast here. The food was great — the breakfast sandwich and crab cake Benedict were both delicious. The interior is very nice but there’s no outdoors and the general feel is that of any hotel lobby restaurant, in case what you’re looking for is some Napa charm.

Some stuff here seems good. However, the «low cal eggs» are quite odd and have an overly peppery flavor.

Reviewing for breakfast only. Andaz farmers table is a great looking spot, very rustic, eclectic, and matched the theme of the farm to table style food.
I had the breakfast sandwich with a fried egg, Brie cheese, bacon, onion jam and arugula, wow! Gotta try this, equal parts sweet and hearty. The potatoes were perfectly crispy too. Coffee was good and robust. Boyfriend had an omelette, which is a staple and hard to differentiate.
Service was a little awkward, but everything we ordered we did receive at some point. Better than expected for your usual hotel breakfast experience.

We received a breakfast voucher after being inconvenienced with our room situation. Loved the rustic-​industrial-​barnyard look with views of their bamboo greenery wall outside.
The crab benedict was a touch on the unconventional side with some savory sweet brioche bits on a bed of breaded crab patty and sausage bits. Different, but good.
My friend got their lox & muffin– generous small «fishbowl» of salmon, greens, and capers with toasted english muffins. I had a bite of her’s and wished I’d ordered it myself.
Our tea and coffee arrived promptly. If you’re looking for a nice sit-​down breakfast, you can’t go wrong at Farmer’s Table.

Andaz Farmer’s Table is the latest hipster spot. For a hotel restaurant, it’s great. The restaurant has a «farm» feel to it with waiters in blue jeans, a display of fruits&vegetables, along with a chalkboard noting where they source their ingredients. They serve a kicky coffee. They make a unique brioche French toast, along with a crab Eggs Benedict that has a flavorful chipotle hollandaise. Unfortunately, the eggs were more like hard boiled ones than poached… so there wasn’t any egg yolk to luxuriously bathe the brioche croutons&the spinach. It’s a quiet place for breakfast.

The pace at this place makes me feel like I’m in an episode of the Twilight Zone. There were maybe 5 tables occupied, with only 2 tables awaiting food, yet everything was taking forever. We waited 45 minutes or so for some simple egg dishes. An egg is one of the fastest cooking proteins out there! My glass of water took 30 minutes.
Every 20 minutes or so, the staff (who were all really nice, albeit slow) would stop by and apologize for the delay, saying the kitchen was «slammed» with all the orders.
Room service orders, I know. I get it. But how much room service could there possibly be? Do they choose to serve all the people who ordered room service first and then those at the restaurant?
Anyway, I wasn’t angry, just puzzled by the slow service in an almost empty restaurant. The breakfast food was fine — nothing to write home about, but tasty enough. You can’t really mess up eggs and sausage.

* REVIEW IS FOR THE BREAKFAST BUFFET ONLY *
we had complimentary breakfast as part of our hotel stay. opted for the breakfast buffet which was $ 23 per person. the breakfast buffet was sufficient. bagels, toast, cheeses, capers, smoked salmon, tomatoes, onions. i also had a piece of whole wheat toast slathered with nutella.
there was yogurt, cut fruit, steel cut oatmeal (although it was really a blend, not true steel cut oatmeal that i make at home), sausage/​bacon, scrambled eggs. i did enjoy the frittata that they made since the texture was soft like chawanmushi.
cornflakes with milk made me happy. the pastries were not very good. i wouldn’t recommend the extra calories.
coffee, an italian roast, was strong and bold. a group of girls had mimosas but they weren’t included in the buffet.
service was okay. no one came to clear our plates even though it was a buffet. we placed them on the empty table next to us. they should have cleared it before the hostess walked over another couple to the table.
i would only eat here if i had a complimentary breakfast. it is too expensive for what it was. our dinner the night before was amazing… yet, it only cost slightly more than breakfast.
3.5 stars

It was early one morning, and by early, I mean 10:30 am, when a group of friends touring the Napa/​St. Helena area awoke to their comfortable beds and the debate began on where to dine? Well, we didn’t have to look to far since the Farmer’s Table was right downstairs and after reading the description, we thought: why not? After all, we wanted a hearty but healthy breakfast that would keep us on our feet as we drank copious amounts of wine!
While the menu was fairly limited when it comes to breakfast, it offers the staples with an «international» take on it. The staples of eggs and potatoes or french toast are readily available, however other items like the «banh mi sandwich» or «rock shrimp panzanella benedict» certainly stands out and knows no geographic region. However, don’t let that scare you… yet…
The Banh Mi sandwich was certainly very tasty with a fried egg, pork sausage patty, and smoked mozarella cheese offering the traditional flavors of breakfast, however the pickled vegetables offered the bold flavor that set it apart from the rest. Who doesn’t like a Vietnamese sandwich? Well… I’m sure there are some people out there, but I certainly wasn’t disappointed as I cut into the sandwich and the runny yolk meshed with the sweet vinegar flavors and brought a smile to my face. Nor was the french toast nothing to sneer at as the soft baguette was topped with chocolate, whipped cream, and poached peaches which offered a very filling, but not overwhelmingly sweet palate.
Service was a bit of a let down. Coffee was rather slow to arrive and let’s just say… you want to get a non-​morning person coffee within 10 minutes of acknowledging them. Food did take a bit of time to arrive and water glasses went empty. Considering there were only about 4 or 5 tables, I did expect a bit more attention. Ambiance was certainly comfortable and rustic with communal dining tables as well as smaller intimate tables.
All in all, the food was good, service was decent, and the price/​ambiance comfortable. Nothing truly wow-​ing, however nothing extremely disappointing. They certainly offer a pretty good breakfast offering.
