I’m not sure what happened, but the entire experience was a lesson in being unorganized. Before coming for Saturday lunch to enjoy the last weekend of Napa Restaurant Week, a friend called ahead to make sure it was being honored. None of the staff knew what she was talking about should of been our first clue, but the manager she eventually spoke with said it was being honored. So, we planned our day and arrived. Turns out the staff still had no clue, the manager said it was fine but they didn’t have the posted menu, but we were able to see it online. Drinks and food were ordered. After being there for awhile, and after drinks had arrived, the waitress said they weren’t honoring Restaurant Week. It made no sense so we decided to cancel the food order, pay for the drinks and leave. Thank goodness they comped the drinks after I suggested it. There may have been 1 or 2 other patrons also here, so it wasn’t like they were majorly busy. The staff could have talked to each other to make sure everyone knew what was happening. Unfortunately, I will not be recommending this place to anyone. There are plenty of other restaurants to choose from in the area. I actually feel sorry for what happened as it could have been a wonderful and warm place.

We ate here on Christmas. Drinks were strong and service was average. We ordered sliders. They were also average. For being the last place open on Christmas night, can’t complain.

Came down from our room to enjoy some drinks. We ordered a round of chambord 7 and stuck with it. The drinks were made pretty well and prices weren’t anything to complain about. Service on the other hand wasn’t the greatest. It wasn’t that busy, but we felt we were being ignored anyway. So, we decided to finish our last round of drinks in the comfort of our room.

We are locals and absolutely love this place. They have a great little menu and wine list and we love being able to watch sporting events in their comfy booths. AV is also the coolest waiter around!

Really, really good. Beautiful day so we ate on the patio. What a lovely setting sitting around the pool area. We had the burgers, great quality of meat. I had the rib eye with green butter, mashed potatoes, and the sauteed spinach were tasty. Desert was banana parfait. Great meal, good location on a beautiful day. Can’t beat it.

We had a great experience at the Marriott and VINeleven. The food was outstanding and we did not feel the need to travel downtown for great food. The wine selection is awesome, and you can sit by the fire pits on couches to enjoy. Joe Bowman the food and beverage manager was even kind enough to share tortilla soup recipe with me that is the best I have ever had, think chorizo and corn bread. I highly recommend the entire the hotel and its opportunities.

I came here after a very long work week. Rachelle was my bartender I ordered the chickpea fries which were absolutely delicious. As for my beverage I chose the LA Rosita which was quite tasteful if I may say so not to sweet yet just right and very beautifully garnished. I would definitely come back even though the bar was packed N hard to find a spot she was still very attentive N very personal with me which made my evening N end of a work evening very pleasant.

Amazing food, atmosphere, and service. Food: I had a lamb stew and my brother had a corn beef Ruben both from the specials menu and boooooy was it worth it! Full of flavor and so worth it for its price. I wasn’t expecting to get full off of the stew because it seemed like a pretty tiny portion but it was extremely filling. My parents said that their rib eye steak and burger was delicious as well! We all shared a rhubarb and strawberry crisp and a banana parfait and those were an excellent way to end our meal. Atmosphere: it was a beautiful setting, with dim lighting, candles, and floral setting. We sat near the bar and the bar lights gave off a nice vibe. It was relatively quiet considering it was in the middle of the hotel. Service: excellent service! We were greeted and sat quickly, another server brought us drinks, and our waitress was incredible. She knew their menu incredibly well and was very knowledgeable about their assortment of wines. She was very attentive and did everything I’d expect in a waitress and more. I wish I could remember her name to give her credit but this staff was wonderful!

My wife and I both had the fish sandwich. Pretty spicy after a few bites, and when we mentioned this to the waitress when she came over to see if we like the food, she immediately offered to have the chef do the sandwich over with less spice. We kept our sandwiches and the spicy taste was not so bad as we continued to eat. Could have been more fish in the sandwich. I choose the small green salad as my side(part of the price of the sandwich), and my wife had the breaded onion rings for her included side. At $ 15 for each fish sandwich, a little bit pricey. I would rate the sandwich as a 2, but the waitress as a 5. The layout of the restaurant a 3.

Often restaurants in hotels are very average, so we were pleasantly surprised that this restaurant offered delicious breakfasts for around $ 10 – 12 with extras at $ 5.00. Try the bakery French toast with orange butter and fresh strawberries. Coffee is Starbucks. At lunch a lamb meatball appetizer was filling and well seasoned. Wine and mixed drinks are available at the bar. Tables and booth seating with really swift, friendly service. Solid 3.5

Don’t let the fact that this is in a Marriott fool you… This is not your typical menu… They have some creative dishes… And definitely worth a stop… The atmosphere is not so special, most likely some places in Napa with a better view. But great food and pretty quick…

Dependable, decent food for a good price. Nothing shocking or especially creative, but offers a little something for everyone. Portions are realistic — not generous but not skimpy. Had the mussels with chorizo, baby kale salad(a little too heavy on dressing), and the soup. All balanced in flavor, if a little light. Don’t go out of your way, but if you’re staying here, you don’t have to hunt for a restaurant.

Great food. Decent service. Except AV he was friendly. Bar can’t make good mixed drinks. Vibe is good. Kid friendly. Open late. Food takes time to come out.

Really really good! New favorite place to come for breakfast! The eggs Benedict was awesome and everyone else in the family enjoyed their meals too. The coffee is great and the service was excellent! We will be back again soon! Cheers!

Pleasantly surprised to find a delightful restaurant inside a Marriott. Usually hotels can get away with standard menu fare executed pretty generically, but this one bucks that trend. While still a little pricey for what it is, the bfast menu options provided a good variety of sweet, hearty, and savory dishes. Two to three were designated the healthy choices and included the calorie count, so you’re pretty much guilted into those items, however the side of hash browns and bread are definitely not part of that caloric summation, so don’t be fooled! I got the egg white frittata which included mushrooms, spinach, and cheese. It was about the size of a decent pancake(mmmm, pancakes) and definitely a good way to start the day. The service was all smiles and very attentive, even with a full house. The coffee seemed inconsistent from the couple different batches I sipped away at as the refills came, but I pretty much dilute mine with a ton of sugar and half and half, so nothing I couldn’t mask.

Glowing menu does not equal glowing reviews. After a somewhat long day of travel, my girlfriend and I decided to check in and stay at the hotel for dinner and drinks at the Marriott. Vin Eleven is the bar and restaurant and while our apps and drinks(wine and Moscow mules) were good, the service was mediocre and the cheesecake was horrible. Our waitress couldn’t give good recommendations on what to order from the menu and didn’t steer us away from the cheesecake that is by far the worst dessert I’ve had. It wasn’t even remotely sweet. We sent it back and they didn’t charge us, but needless to say I was extremely disappointed. We moved from dinner to sit by the firepits and service outside was almost non-existent, so we moved inside to the lounge area and couldn’t get any service there either. I went to the bar to order drinks and service was fine there. Cheese platter, olives, oysters, and mussels were all very good. Wine was good as well. If I stay at the hotel again, I will more than likely eat somewhere else.

The Bar/Restaurant is located in an open area right next to the lobby; theres a cool bar and the room has very nicely designed interior finishes with a few conveniently placed flat screen tvs. Servers are very friendly & helpful. Food menu has lots of seemingly delectable dishes, but i end up ordering the ribeye steak which came on a bed of arugula, pickled onions, potatoes, & mushrooms. It was delicious. Perused the wine list and the 6 oz glasses of local wines cost the same as a lunch plate. Seems extraordinary to me. I liked the place and would recommend it to those visitors who are interested in a quick bite before they head out to wine country.

Let me just start by saying that if you’re staying at the Marriott don’t blow by the hotel lobby restaurant, VinEleven, thinking it’s your normal crappy hotel food. It ain’t! My wife and a friend of hers discovered this place when they were looking for somewhere to have drinks and talk without running into a bunch of people they know around town. Being born and raised in the Napa Valley, as well as working in the food industry here for 11 years, I’ve eaten at many of the local fine dining establishments. With that knowledge under my belt I can unreservedly give VinEleven an outstanding review because the food, drinks and service here are better than many other more«famous» places in the valley. My wife and I eat here regularly and I often reflect that the people heading out of the lobby of the Marriott looking for a «real Napa Valley dining experience» are walking right past one of the better ones around! The bar is well stocked and the bartender we normally have(Dave I think, a bald fellow with a pleasant demeanor) is on his game, every cocktail is delicious and, just as important, prompt. Service is also always prompt and thoughtful, remembering details and asking questions at the right time in a way that is often sadly lacking at other restaurants. But the bottom line is… the food is delicious! The«Knife and Fork Chorizo burger» is a staple for us, get it WITH the egg, it’s amazing. The lettuce cups are great, fries are great, really anything you order is great, no joke. Also they have seasonal fresh items based on local ingredients, so while the menu is reassuringly familiar it also manages to always have something new to try. Honestly if you’re looking for a low-key dining experience where the food will surprise you and the staff will please you, VinEleven at the Marriott is a great choice. Don’t let the fact that it’s in a hotel lobby put you off, it’s more than worth the visit!

I’m pleasantly surprised by VINeleven. The restaurant is located inside the lobby of the Napa Marriott. The restaurant has a great design and a sophisticated menu worthy of Napa. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We were there at 3:30pm so there wasn’t that many diners there. Their menus are cool as they light up when you open them up. There are some unique selections on the menu at reasonable prices. We ordered the Chickpea Fries with Basil Aioli. It tasted great but a little too oily. We also shared the Chorizo Burger. That was completely amazing. There is a sunny side egg on top. You can really taste the chorizo and the runny egg yolk went amazingly with it. I opted for onion rings as the side and it was great. The chickpea fries were $ 8 and the burger was $ 13. I would say that it’s a great deal for what you get. I probably wouldn’t make it a point to visit the restaurant again but if you happen to stay at the Marriott, it’s not a bad choice for grabbing a quick convenient bite.

Awww! VINeleven! LOVEYOU! Went there for brunch while staying at the Marriott over our anniversary and stopped by VINEleven for brunch, which was phenomenal. We got french toast, omelettes, and of course some mimosas. And, since it was our anniversary, they also hooked us up with a few flutes of champagne. Nice touch. We were going to go there for dinner as well one night, but it was packed! I was glad that we decided to eat there for brunch. Usually, when I am staying at hotels, I still like to try and eat elsewhere so I can see more of the city or town where we are staying. That being said, I often avoid going to the hotel restaurants, but I am glad that I made an exception this time. It really was one of the best meals I had in Napa and that’s saying A LOT!
