Mustards Grill

Ohhhhhh Myyyyyy!
Diner with old black & white checkered marble floor, white linens…
Smokey grilled white peaches, micro arugula, burata with heavy smoked toast and tiny hint of balsamic… AND CHAMPAGNE!
I’m in Foodie Heaven!!!
WOW!

The pork chop. yes I got that also. I tried it after all the great reviews about it. When your at home and I cook pork I usually cook it done .well well done. because its pork. But these porkchop are close to med well. It was kind of weird to eat pork like that but it was good. Since they cook so much of it I’m pretty sure they know what they were doing… I hope. I came here after a three day weekend and had to wait about 45 mins for lunch. It’s good!

Walked in just before 2pm and the place was still packed and we were seated within 5 minutes.
Water and sourdough came. Bread was just perfect.
Based on servers recommendations, we ordered the smoked chicken wings. Great flavor and texture with smoke. 5 stars.
For entrees we tried their special with Rabbit and pork meatballs over fettuccini and the smoked duck.
Pasta sauce and the meatballs were tasty but the fettuccine was overcooked.
Duck was good but felt the plate was heavy and missing something light and fresh.
Ended with their ever changing Desert, for today it was their tres leche cake topped with a fruit compote. This was delicious.
The cappuccino was mediocre but then it came late and was Luke warm. Maybe if it didn’t sit on the counter for so long it would have been good.
Overall, it was just ok and hard to justify the $$$

Excellent service great food very pricey but I would definitely return. No complaints here. Atmosphere was on point

This well know Napa eatery hasn’t lost its touch ~ Longevity lives on pumping out delicious food 7 days a week, GREAT service & fair prices ~ you have arrived @ MUSTARD’S in Napa Valley
Their slogan «Everything is Delicious» was true 20+ yrs ago and still holds true. Our server, Jerold (I think) was terrific not pretentious which can happen in Napa a lot! Just very friendly, answered our questions and had to correct himself & we didn’t even care~
Not one misstep re cocktail service, wine service, dinner or dessert! A perfect way to end the day~

My family and I always try to stop by here when we’re in Napa. This restaurant is truly wonderful!
I ordered the Disco Lemonade and split the seafood tostada (the type of seafood changes every day depending on what was fresh — that day’s was deep fried soft shelled crab) and a salad with my mom. The Disco Lemonade was initially a bit strong for me (but I’m kind of a weenie when it comes to alcoholic beverages) and it was much better once the ice melted to water it down a bit. The salad was fresh and tasty but nothing too too special. The crab tostada though… that was so spectacular. The combination of flavors — the spiciness of the sauce, the neutral black beans/​tostada, and the creamy crab. it just worked so well. Probably one of the most delicious things I’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting. I wish I could go back and eat it again. We also ordered the dessert special, a peach melba, which was delicious as well. The peach was perfectly sweet and the flavor of the raspberry and cake surrounding the peach just worked together in harmony.
The service was great as usual. They were very very accommodating when my mother and I asked to split the tostada and salad. In particular, they gave my mom and I separate plates, each with our own tostada shells and half of the crab, making it very easy and simple to share between the two of us. I love love love this place and I’ll always come back for more. Definitely a little bit more on the pricier side but so worth it.

We had a long day of driving.from.hiking in northern california in the redwoods and. were starving. The food here had really great ratings so we decided to try it. out and.were.not.disappointed. They have a great variety of dishes and wine. We tried the cab sampler which I highly recommend if youre into red wines and cabs. The dessert was great too!

For the amount of money charged for the food, I was expecting to eat something to brag about. The food was just okay,
Our party ordered:
1. Hunan grilled chicken salad
2. Famous Mongolian Pork Chop
3. Many Mustard Rabbit
4. Soup of the day… I forget the flavor
5. Quail appetizer
#‘s 3 – 5 were ordered by my friends and they enjoyed their food, but they also thought the price was steep. But, since this is my review, I’m keeping it at 1 star.
The Hunan grilled chicken salad was okay, but nothing to write home about.
The pork chop was small and tough, very underwhelming. I make a better pork chop with those Costco tenderloins. I always say, if I can do it better, I’ll never go back. Maybe it was a bad chef day.
However, here is the kicker. After finishing our meal, we noticed other tables with bread. I asked the waiter about the bread as it was not on the menu. He said we didn’t ask for bread, so it was not served. Really? I would think the waiter would ask us if we would like bread with our Salad, soup, and entrees. I asked the waiter how were we supposed to know to ask for bread… he said you have to ask, that’s what his management said… he did not offer an apology, or some bread… enjoy your $ 1 tip.
Will definitely not return.

Food is spectacular. That gets five stars. Our initial waiter was also fantastic, but my husband and I, on our honeymoon, were in the middle of a shift change and our next server was absolutely horrible. Not once did she come by and either introduce herself, check to see if our entrees had come out correctly (we had a missing soup), or refilled our drinks. The manager did come over and was apologetic, but all the server did was come over and drop off the check. The first server who was closing down and switching to the bar came over and apologized. We have no idea why this happened!
I’m not going to downsize the stars to even a 4 or lower because the food was so darned good– and our first server was awesome!!! The crazy thing is that our server was trained by the other server and raved about her! Must have been an off day.
We had the pork chop, the calamari, the pulled pork BBQ– and it was all flavorful and wonderful. The bread was a winner too! Great iced tea! Go for the Mongolian Pork Chop!

The giant pork chop was crazy good. I didn’t mind waiting for our table because you could stroll around their gorgeous herb/​vegetable garden that they use in their dishes. Definitely make a reservation. Service was awesome and it’s a really cute place– not stuffy at all. They serve the bread right on the table and I think there’s a seasonal menu. If burrata is in the menu in any form you should get it — so creamy and delicious. The portions for their dinners are huge so you’ll be full and can wrap what you didn’t eat up to snack on later. Love this place and would definitely recommend.

This is one of the cutest places ever! The menu is amazing, and we couldn’t decide what to order. We ended up ordering the peaches burrata appetizer, which was the best burrata I have ever had outside of Italy. The onion rings, was not your typical onion ring dish. They are super thin and lightly breaded, served with an apple-​ketchup sauce. For the entrée, we ordered the chicken sandwiches and they were amazing.
The waiter was super friendly and the service was pretty quick, even during the busy lunch hour.
They have a garden in the back, where they grow all their own produce and you can walk the garden before or after your meal.
Definitely one of my favorites. Can’t wait to go back!

I had the Grilled chicken sandwich with avocado. Side of sautéed beans and black beans. The chicken was perfectly cooked, bun toasted, homemade chips awesome. the sautéed beens might be the best I have ever had. Nice fresh garlic infused flavor. Black beans were amazing and perfectly cooked.
This place never gets old. Our server was very good and she was hustling a lot of tables. What a class act. This place is in business because it is still relevant and the food still amazing. Bathrooms smelled like an open grave though.

Bottlerock review.
Wagyu brisket burger — ³⁄₅ — Texture good. Too much sauce. Brisket flavor drowned out.
Overall, «A-​OK.»

After visiting Robert Mondavi Winery, I Unilocaled for the closes restaurant for dinner, and Mustards Grill (MG) came up.
MG is a cute little restaurant right along the road where all the vineyards are. So, it has a very extensive list of wines to offer, of course. We were very lucky that without a reservation, the beautiful lady in the front was able to seat us immediately. We were even able to choose a table, YAY!
The atmosphere was very relaxed and the food all looked delish from the tables around us. So, we ordered the Asparagus Toast for appetizer ($ 14.95), Roasted Duck ($ 35.95), Ahi sandwich ($ 17.75) and of course a bottle of Mondavi Merlot ($ 75).
The duck was very tender and juicy, however the ahi was a bit rubbery. We asked for no onions for the ahi but it still came with red onions. My favorite of the night was the merlot and the asparagus. I think I am becoming a vegetarian, maybe… LOL. I am not much of a drinker in quantity, but I love a good wine!
Overall, the experience was good. Our waiter was always on the ball. The atmosphere and the service more than made up for the tiny little hiccup on the ahi.
I highly recommend making a reservation because after we sat down, this place was packed immediately. Great little restaurant on the vineyard road. I’ll definitely be back to give it another shot.

I would have given it 5 stars but the lady who seated us was pretty awful. We arrived on time and were hungry but the others we were meeting were going to be a little late — the lady didn’t want to seat us before the rest of our party arrived. I asked if we could be seated as we wanted to start ordering right away (please note the restaurant was almost empty at this time) and she asked how late our friends were going to be… I told her maybe 10 minutes and she very begrudgingly seated us on pretty much the worst table in the restaurant. I requested to a different seater to be moved and she allowed us. At this point we started ordering and things got way better!
For starters we ordered the calamari (excellent, but wished there was more calamari and less salad), the chicken wings (really unusual smoked flavor, not my favorite but still very good) and the crab cakes (excellent).
For main I ordered the Mongolian Pork due to all the reviews on here and it certainly didn’t disappoint! It came with some delicious cabbage and mashed potato — it really was an amazing dish — I would order it again in a heartbeat! My husband ordered the ribs which I didn’t try but he said they were very good. We also ordered the onion rings for the table and while onion rings aren’t my thing — I still thought they were good. The others at the table all agreed they were excellent! We also ordered the mac and cheese which was average.
For dessert I ordered the Double Butterscotch Pot de Crème and it was amazing — 5 stars kind of amazing! I was very happy. The others ordered the Famous Lemon-​Lime Tart which they all enjoyed but personally I didn’t think it was anywhere as good as what I ordered!
All in all it was an excellent night and if we hadn’t had to deal with the lady who didn’t want to seat us — it would have been perfect.
After dinner we walked around the vegetable gardens — which are really beautiful — it’s lovely to see so much food being grown!

Had a phenomenal lunch at Mustards today. There are so many great spots in the valley, but Mustards continued to be recommend by friends and trusted Unilocalers.
We were easily able to get a reservation for lunch the day before dining. No big deal. Came in a few minutes before our resi. We were promptly and politely greeted and then shown to our table. Adam was our waiter and he moved us through the specials and smartly answered all our questions about the specials, potential substitutions and the daily vegetables. Excellent service throughout our meal. I thought Adam was going to miss the 2 bite check-​in, but he appeared out of nowhere, freshened up the waters and asked us how the meal was going? In short, the meal was going great.
We had the calamari app to start. I thought Shari V may have misordered here. I thought calamari was a little dull and the description did not impress me. Many other apps did. Per usual, she was right. Fried calamari with a curry slaw turned out to be very tasty. Much heartier and more substance than just a bunch of fried calamari on a plate.
We split a lamb burger with fries. We added some fresh veggies which were greens served with I think goat cheese, or maybe it was feta. Either way, it was delicious. The burger was cooked to perfection. Great meat to bun ratio. Dressings were fresh of course. The house ketchup was killer. I usually try the house ketchups with a Heinz backup on the table. This was an option. After 1 fry, I didn’t see any need to bring in the Heinz. I lapped that house ketchup up. The fries were crispy and lightly seasoned. Strong work Mustards.
Mustards has been around for 32 years and seems to be an institution in the region. I can see why. I’d repeat fo sho.

oh my gosh Mustards was amazing! We had a reservation at 6 on a Friday night and actually got seated 15 minutes early. We started with the onion rings — amazing. So light and flavorful. Something I would never choose to order but when we saw them at almost every table we knew we had to try them. Then all 4 of us got the famous pork chops, oh my goshhhhhhhh SO good. I cant even put into words. They had a side of pickled cabbage or something & even that was amazing. Our waitress was great, couldn’t say better things about this place.
Side note: $ 15 corkage fee, so we brought our own bottle.

Server was inattentive and short. I ordered the Truckstop Deluxe, a 14 oz ribeye boneless with polenta, asparagus, and mushrooms. Steak was alright but nothing special. Asparagus? What asparagus, I had to pick through it to find it. The polenta was not seasoned and tasted like it was just boiled in water. Extremely dry. Price; $ 50. Not worth the price.
There was nothing special about this special.
Edit: buster was amazing, cleared a whole table of 4 in one stop
Pot de crème on the menu states it comes with COOKIES but came with only one, for 4 people. Over whipped cream. Literally butter. When asked the server was short, questioned us why we thought it was overwhipped and then just left mid conversation!

We had an 8:45 dinner reservation for seven. Arrived on time and waited over 30 minutes for our table. To remedy the wait, they gave us two heaping plates of onion straws with their tomato-​apple ketchup. I was pissed about waiting, but the onion straws earned them back a star. They were good and the gesture was thoughtful.
I ordered the Mushroom and Spinach Burger. Veggie burgers can either be done so, so wrong or so, so right. This was done RIGHT. It was flavorful and filling. It was literally two buns with mushrooms and spinach and cheese in between. The chips that came on the side were just okay. BUT THE BURGER! Even my meat-​eating sister said that it was one of the best burgers she has even eaten.

Such a cute restaurant!
Right when I walked through the doors I knew I was going to like this place. What were the telltale signs? The setup, the semi rustic feel, the way every waiter we passed by on the way to our table greeted us with the warmest smile followed by an enthusiastic hello (it’s me).
After looking over the menu extensively, my boyfriend and I decided to share the Famous Mongolian Pork Chops. I must say choosing to get the chop is one of the better decisions I made in life because it was absolutely divine! Resemblance to a bone in rib-​eye (bone and all), it was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, cushioned by a bed of creamy mashed potatoes, surrounded by sweet and sour red cabbage and their own house made mustard (hence their name). My taste-​buds had a moment of euphoria upon the first encounter with the p.chop. It took me to a different state of being that the background noises started fading out, conversations were not being paid attention to, jokes were not laughed at; it was just me and the chop alone in the room and well, you can guess the ending to that love affair.
After snapping out of my secret randevú at the sound of the knife cutting into an empty plate, I was able to regain consciousness and earn my participation points again. But in my head, I was already planning out different ways to make my return. This isn’t the last you’ve seen of me Mustard’s. I guarantee it.
TIP: Entrees are a good size so if you want to try different items on the menu, I suggest you ask to have the portions split. It sure beats eating off of your dinning companion’s plate because just like Joey from FRIENDS, I don’t share food.

My husband and I had Valentine’s Day reservations at 9pm. Our table was ready immediately and we were swiftly seated. Our server was spot on. Unfortunately those were the best parts of our evening. The ambience for our meal was watching the servers clean up for the night, getting ready to close. Chairs, floor mats, and champagne buckets were all moved and cleaned up during our dinner. Constant motion. It was not the romantic night we were looking for. Frankly we weren’t overly blown away with our food either, my husband could do just as well at home.

I have been going to Mustard for over 20 years. When we moved up to Sonoma County from the Peninsula, my husband and I made this our go to special occasion restaurant. We had not been there in a couple of years but this last Valentine’s day we decided to splurge. We had late lunch reservations (4pm). We were seated at our table and the dining began. I ordered the lobster bisque and my husband ordered the mac and cheese as an appetizer. The mac and cheese was runny. The lobster bisque had zero lobster. It tasted more like the mushrooms that were in the soup. The strange thing was that there seemed to be unblended soup base in my soup. I couldn’t eat it, quietly complained and they took the soup off the bill. Then my scallops with risotto came. 3 slightly undercooked grilled scallops on extremely al dente risotto. Completely flavorless. I ate the scallops and left some of the risotto that had sliced garlic in it, that was also slightly raw. My husband had the ribs. They were tough and could have been cooked longer, but they were so blackened I can’t imagine them thinking they weren’t really cooked all the way. side note — The leftover ribs were great the next day after I wrapped them in foil and cooked them slowly for a few hours. I finished with the lemon merengue pie. This is my favorite dessert and what I always have had. Not again. The crust was overcooked and I could not get my fork through it. I used to love Mustards, I can’t say as I do anymore. 2 stars for the wait staff and front desk, zero for the food. I came here for the food.

Just ok– Pork Chop, it was too sweet. Arnold Palmer– Too sour!

Honestly, the servers here do not need to give me a menu when I come here because I already know what I’m getting. Calamari with curry slaw, mongolian pork chop, lemon lime tart w/​brown sugar meringue. I wish I lived around here because I’d be all up in that pork chop all the time!
Okay, maybe I shouldn’t live around here.

If I wasn’t Jewish, I’d have the Pork Chop.
At a winery, we mention we’re going to Mustards Grill. Staff tells us to get the pork chop. I look to the table to the right of us at the restaurant. Both people have the pork chop. My dad decides to get the pork chop. He loves the pork chop. End of story.
But if you’re like me and you can’t eat pork, there are tons of other options. Maybe if I got the pork chop I’d give this place five stars. But I got the Hunan Chicken Salad. It was good, definitely a solid choice, but didn’t blow my mind. My sister got the burger with every extra topping available. I stole a couple of her french fries and found them a little underwhelming. At that price point, I would have thought they would be made in house. They didn’t taste that way. However, she did love her burger. I can’t believe she finished the whole thing.
For dessert, we got the Boston Crème Pie and the Chocolate Tart with Espresso Ice Cream. The tart was incredibly rich. I stand by that selection. I would definitely recommend that to anyone. I didn’t try the Boston Crème Pie, but my dad said it was good.
Service was a bit slow at the beginning. Our waiter got our wine order and then disappeared for a bit.
I like this place. It is on the nicer side without being pretentious. Nobody would feel out of place in jeans or in a suit. Would I say this is the one restaurant you have to eat at if you are in Napa? Probably not. But if you have a couple meals, this would be up there.

Loved this place! Has a very country, rustic feel and gets packed quickly, so i would definitely make the reservations before hand.
Service was perfect, from the hostess to our waiter who was incredibly funny and helpful in making decisions. We shared the calamari salad (I would skip this), the seared tuna (very good) and I got the pulled pork bbq sandwich served with chips, pickles and cole slaw. Would recommend this, my friend got the pork belly with garlic mashed potatoes and that was delicious. Every dish was perfect. Would 100% come back here for lunch, it’s just a great environment.

Yes, the Mongolian pork chop is everything it’s cracked up to be.
Excellent wine list, delicious food, in a casual atmosphere.

Came here before I picked up a shipment at Chandon and I’m so glad that my boyfriend suggested it. We did see them on the food channel network so that’s definitely got to tell you something about their food right? Upon walking in they seemed pretty busy and the wait time for a table was about 45 minutes. Lucky for us we didn’t mind sitting at the bar and just ordering from there. I’m actually glad we sat at the bar because we didn’t have to wait at all and our bartender had exceptional customer service! I believe her name was Christine. We watched her talk to customers and take orders and she was great! She remembered everything by memory and still had time to connect with everyone.
As for the food… My boyfriend ordered the lamb burger and it was delicious! At first he was hesitant since he never ordered lamb before so he wasn’t sure how the texture of the meat would be. Well that wasn’t a problem as it came out delicious! It was almost as eating a good cheese burger but it was lamb. Ordered a side of mac and cheese and wow! Baked with lots of ooey gooey cheese all over and bread crumbs on top!
If you’re in the area and wine tasting then this is the place to have lunch or dinner! You won’t be dissatisfied.

I have to confess, I have never before experienced the truly fine dining experience that Napa has had to offer. I was a «not quite Napa virgin», and most usually a tightwad, but I also knew that a Cindy Pawlcyn experience was one I wanted to have. Oh, the mystique of it all. So… amaze me. I grabbed at the opportunity.
We tried to be conservative, we didn’t even order an appetizer. And yet it still got away from us, two meals, one alcoholic beverage and one shared dessert to the tune of over $ 100. But hallelujah, the experience was almost divine.
Let’s look first at the famous Mongolian Pork Chop. One chop that looked like a tomahawk steak (i.e. a bone handle) sitting on a mountain of pretty darn good mashed potatoes, nestled next to a pile of tongue tingling, sweet & sour red cabbage. The smear of tangy, house made mustard was the dramatic finish, all for $ 31.50. If you wanted soup or salad or bread or veggies, you must read further down the menu and be prepared to open the wallet. Well, at least it was a sizeable chop, one that I could ease off and bring some home for another day. And I cannot explain how tender and moist it was except, when I warmed it up two days later, it was still magnificent.
That evening’s Daily Lamb dish was a small portion of prime lamb chop, bone removed and sliced thin, that was served over a fabulous wild mushroom risotto. The lamb was cooked to a magnificent medium rare, almost resembling a seared tuna. It would have been a winner, but between the cheese in the risotto and the seasoning rub for the lamb, it became overly salty. For salt-​oholics it would have been fine, but Mr. B is quite discretionary with salt and found it to be too much. I am not even sure what the price of his dish was, but I figure it was up there with my pork chop easily.
We were not in need, but who eats at a place like this and ignores the dessert menu? Really! Dessert was a shared (thank goodness) Chocolate Hazelnut Tart. It arrived at our table decked out with the most amazing buttery caramel sauce, a healthy scoop of delicious espresso ice cream, and sprinkled generously with a toasted hazelnut praline. The piece de resistance, for me though, was plunging my fork into it and discovering some of the most incredibly dark espresso tasting, fudgy molten mass I have ever sunk my teeth into. My chocoholic weakness came flashing before my eyes.
Not pompous but rather most friendly, this certainly was a special meal. We enjoyed the understated décor, did not find it cramped at all as some have said, and the service was beyond reproach. Now, I look forward to trying her more casual place, Cindy’s Backstreet Kitchen in St. Helena. Amazing.

Great lunch spot.
$$$
Calamari salad was fresh. Would’ve enjoyed more calamari.
Chicken bacon avocado sandwich was delicious. Bbq sandwich was also very flavorful.
Service was excellent. Very attentive.

Wow. The food and atmosphere was great but the service was even better!
We came in @ 4:30pm on a Saturday. We had called earlier to make a reservation and they told us they couldn’t guarentee a table and to just walk-​in. The wait for a table was «30 minutes» but, the bar served the full menu so we sat there.
The bartender (I think his name was Curtis?) was AWESOME. He promptly greeted us, served us water, gave us menus, and bread and butter. He was knowledgable about the menu and explained the specials in detail. He never let our water glasses go empty and he was constantly cleaning our area without being overbearing.
We ordered the calamari and crab cakes appetizers. Our server even offered to add an additional crab cake for our party of 3 but, we were ok with 2. Our entrees were Famous Mongolian Porkchop, Wild Mushroom Risotto with Dungeness Crab (special), and Braised Short Rib with cheesy mashed potatoes. We also ordered a bottle off the «Not So Common Reds» menu. Everything was good but, the Braised Short Rib was everyone’s #1 vote because of the cheesy mash and the fall apart meat.
The food met expectations but, the service is what really blew us away.

I needed to ensure that I stopped here during my time in Napa since I saw it on Food Network’s ‘Best Thing I Ever Ate.’ Bobby Flay loves their Mongolian Pork Chop, and yes, it lived up to my expectations.
Service: The service was wonderful. The waiters were very attentive and knowledgeable about their food and menu.
Food: The prices were very reasonable, dish orchestration and flavors were well executed. The pork chop is definitely worth ordering. You will not be disappointed. My husband ordered the smoked duck breast. However, I preferred the pork chop over the duck breast. The pork chop came with braised cabbage and mashed potatoes which complemented the pork very nicely. The BBQ Quail appetizer was very good and a unique choice as well.
Tip: Definitely make reservations on OpenTable. The restaurant does not have a ton of seating and waiting for a table is normal without reservations. The bar is not very big so don’t expect to sit and have a drink while waiting.

Apparently everyone and their mother has been to Mustards. Well, I didn’t bring my mother, because Mustards is in wine country, and my mother doesn’t drink wine. Also, my wife and I came out to Napa for our anniversary, and I think it’s probably weird to bring your mother along on a trip like that.
Anyhoo.
I did follow in everyone else’s footsteps by ordering the Mongolian Pork Chop. I know this, because I asked the waiter:
«I’m trying to decide between the pork chop and t…»
«It doesn’t matter what you’re deciding between! The pork chop is our all-​time best-​seller.»
And you know what? That’s a damn good pork chop. Nice and juicy, with a fantastic sauce. I think there’s some hoisin in there. She got herself a Hunan chicken salad, which (1) cost $ 17.88* and (2) seemed more Thai in origin to me, what with the peanut sauce and all. Either way, she was quite pleased.
You can do a whole lot worse than Mustards around here.
_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​
*I only mention the price because it stood out as odd. Why does every other dish end in .00, .25, .75, or .95? What is this mindfuck? What happened in the Hunan province in 1788?! TELL ME.

The food was all good/​fine, but nothing to write home about. I feel as though they have such an overall high rating due to it being a staple in the area as oppose to mind blowing food. I compared it to an experience at rutherfords grill or Cheesecake Factory. The food was good, but not necessarily anything incredibly impressive or innovative and the presentation is just a casual unimpressive one. However, for the price you pay it was surprising that’s what you got. In SF if we drop that kind of money it’s a pretty solid restaurant.
We got the crab cakes and ahi crackers to start — crab cakes were good but had too thick/​crunchy of a crust layer and the ahi crackers needed more ahi and crackers were bland. Pork chop was good, but the flavor of the onions it was paired with was just too powerful. For two starters and two mains no alcohol or dessert our bill was about $ 150 including tax and tip.

3.5, but I’m rounding up to 4. Not sure why everyone raves about Mustards (in fact more than one person told me I just HAD to eat here) because I found the food to be just above average, certainly not mind blowing!
I made my reservation for a party of 6 way in advance, maybe just less than 2 months and found the only possible time to be 8:45pm on a Thursday night. Accepting it, I was definitely pleased when they called the day before to confirm and said they could move the reservation to 8pm! After a long day of «day-​time drinking» I’m more than happy to get to bed early lol.
We arrived right at 8pm and had to wait a bit for our table to be cleared. No biggie, gave us time to look at the menu and have some suggestions made for the one gluten-​free person in our group.
After being sat Patty came over quickly to cork our wine ($ 15 corkage fee) and get us waters. Bread was also brought to the table along with butter and salt and some found it a bit odd that the bread was placed down with no plate or anything, just a loaf straight on the table lol. Didn’t bother me though.
We decided to split two appetizers — the calamari and the artichoke. The artichoke was good, but pretty standard, and the calamari came out more as a calamari tossed with an Asian style salad. I liked it, but it wasn’t anything special either.
For entrees I was able to convince my brother to get the pork chop, which does seem to have some kind of cult following. He shared a bite with me and I found it good, but I won’t be joining the cult lol. I went with the rabbit which when soaked in the sauce enough was quite good, but I found myself unable to finish it because I was full (trust me if something is good enough I’ll force myself through the finish line lol). I also tried a bite of my father’s mushroom «burger» — literally a burger made from ground mushroom, which was different and well done.
We did end up ordering another bottle of wine from their giant wine list and were quite pleased with the selection. I was surprised to see wines as low as the $ 30 range, so this can still be an affordable place.
Since one in the group is quite the chef we headed home and did dessert there instead (banana’s foster) in case you’re wondering, but I did glance at Mustards dessert menu and it sounded quite good, definitely leave room for that!
Overall it’s a nice place. Ambiance isn’t anything too fancy or over the top and Patty did a great job taking care of us and putting up with our Shenanigans. I’m just surprised by all the 5 star reviews as it didn’t wow me.

The tip for the Mongolian Porkchop was spot on!
Long wait but worth it… if you are in a hurry sit on benches outside and chill
