Goose & Gander St. Helena Reviews from The Last Year
Lacklustre despite shiny reviews
We came with high expectations on the heels of strong recommendations. The space is quaint yet the service and food were lacklustre. Sadly our server was inattentive and rarely checked in with us. And while there were some interesting flavours, especially the roasted cauliflower dish, the mains tasted effectively unseasoned, and meats were incorrectly cooked.
100% love the food here.
My wife and I were driving back home and got hungry. Found Goose & Gander on Yelp and decided to stop by. They were super busy, but still able to accommodate us without any reservations. The atmosphere was great and the bar downstairs was fun as well. Definitely going to have to come back here!
I have always tried to discipline myself to take a seat in
I have always tried to discipline myself to take a seat in the dining room. My adventurous side always wins and I wind up on the underground speakeasy. The knowledgeable bartenders and pub like atmosphere are so beautiful and relaxing. The Halibut with Parsnip Puree were cooked to perfection.
Food was spectacular! It's a bit pricey here but definitely
Food was spectacular! It's a bit pricey here but definitely worth it. The service was good, not great. I loved the Mac and cheese. The restaurant is on the smaller side but it's comfy. Great for a date night!
Great ambiance.
Amazing wine list. Beautiful drinks. It's not pretentious. Some dishes hit better than others but we all left happy and content. Check out that bar downstairs. It's gorgeous

Came here for dinner on our last night in Napa and I was so glad we came. The service was top notch and the patio seating was very calming and beautiful. Our cocktails were great and my husband got the wings appetizer which were yummy. I had the pasta dish with shrimp and I cleaned the plate clean. My husband loved his burger and we ended our meal with the carrot cake, which was perfect! I can't wait to come back!
Thank you from our group of 12!
Outstanding experience for our party of 12! Restaurant was highly recommended for our group from Al across the country. Food was excellent and the private space where we dined was wonderful. Fun bar on the lower level to gather before dinner
We decided to dine here for dinner during our trip to St.
Helena last Sunday, mainly because of the reviews. Parking wasn't hard to find. We parked right next to a church on the street. We made a reservation ahead of time, so by the time we entered the restaurant, we were immediately seated. The ambiance was dimly lit (I guess they're aiming for a relaxing vibe for their customers, but it made me rather sleepy, lol). For appetizers, we ordered the Sticky Pig Ears ($10), Wood-Grilled Octopus ($22), and Duck Fat Fries ($10). Despite the portion sizes being on the smaller side and the prices being relatively high, they tasted good. However, the duck fat fries tasted like regular fries. For our main course, my partner and I both ordered The G&G Burger ($24), while our friends ordered the Tomato Ragu Pappardelle ($28) and the Katsu Pork ($36). The burgers were disappointing; they were overloaded with toppings, making them difficult to eat. Additionally, they used a chewy bread instead of a good quality burger patty, which made it challenging to chew and cut. The bread itself did not taste good either. There was also inconsistency with our orders; despite both of us ordering the same burger, they forgot to include bacon in my boyfriend's burger. Only mine came with it. Furthermore, the meat inside the burger was dry. As for the Tomato Ragu, the pasta was acceptable, but the chicken breast served with it was overcooked and very dry. The worst dish of all was the Katsu. I'm not sure why, but the cook pressed the Katsu too hard, making it thin and overcooked. It was burnt and inedible; it didn't taste like Katsu at all. I wish we'd taken more pictures, but after all the wine tasting, we were too exhausted. Sadly, the food didn't live up to its appearance, so don't be fooled, guys. Overall, we don't understand the hype surrounding this place and will not be coming back here again.
We have only been here a few times, but the food is
We have only been here a few times, but the food is amazing! The service is great and the ambiance rocks. The fried olives and pistachios are sooo good! The chicken -out of this world. We are returning from out of state in May and will be dining here again! (What we dislike and question on other reviews: if you had a good experience and loved the food and service, why are you not giving it 5/5 star reviews instead of 4????).
food was excellent, the scallops & octopus, we had were
food was excellent, the scallops & octopus, we had were cooked to perfection. service was great, we were seated at the indoor/outdoor bar section. the fountain with the koi was cute, overall the space was comfortable (heat lamp), and the plantings were nice.
On a rainy Saturday night, my hubby and I braved highway 29
On a rainy Saturday night, my hubby and I braved highway 29 to try Goose and Gander. With no reservations for dinner, I figured maybe the bar would be open. To my surprise, this place is popping at 545pm. Luckily, there was a party just about ready to leave. I am not a big fan of dinner at the bar, but this is the only option we have and with Themis place so popular... what the heck. So here goes. Our waiter is Nicholas, he took awhile to get drinks but we were not in a hurry. He was pleasant and made a few recommendations. Most of what we ordered were delicious, my husband had a burger which was not on their menu and he absolutely loves it. I had the pork katsu which was good but I won't order it next time. There are other dishes to try. Rain or shine, this restaurant in St Helena is doing great business. Will be back in the future.
We were excited to plan another meal at this wonderful
We were excited to plan another meal at this wonderful place! We love the vibe and our server was really great! We decided to try the sticky pig ears appetizer, which was described as "kind of like candied bacon". I get the appeal, but it really didn't work for us. We were surprised and grateful to find that they took it off of our bill! My wife had the wood grilled chicken breast with blistered greens & black truffle chicken jus, a very good entree! My short rib pasta was disappointing - for $32 we expected a chunk of short rib but there were only a few small pieces in the sauce, good flavor but lacking substance. I'd recommend they rethink this dish. For dessert we split a Meyer lemon tart which we both loved. On our bill we discovered an unannounced 4% "employee benefit" fee. This deceptive practice cost them a star, and it must stop! Blindsiding your customers with a hidden fee is not ok. We we'll not return until they put a stop to it.
Goose and Gander is a gorgeous restaurant with a warm and
Goose and Gander is a gorgeous restaurant with a warm and cozy atmosphere. The ambiance and service is some of the best in Napa Valley. The wine list is extensive- you can get cult wines that are not available anywhere- the menu is less extensive. The food is good, for an appetizer we ordered the sticky pig ears. They are definitely an acquired taste and extremely heavy. I ordered the chicken, mashed potatoes and blistered greens which was a delicious entree. My husband ordered the short rib pasta ( I was expecting a piece of short rib over the pasta) but it had little pieces of short ribs blended in with the pasta. I was a little disappointed for the price. Although the flavor was nice. For dessert we got the lemon tart. The Meyer lemon dessert was both sweet and tart and had great flavors but a graham cracker crust would have enhanced the dessert. When we received the bill there was an added 4% employee benefit tax. All in all it was a great meal with fantastic service and the best ambiance.
Don't waste your money on this extremely overpriced sub-par
Don't waste your money on this extremely overpriced sub-par restaurant. Unfortunately, the Goose and Gander missed the mark on EVERY level ! Starting with our drinks, my girlfriend ordered a Cucumber Collins which is supposedly one of their "featured cocktails" . It was nothing more than a mish mash of pickled and plain cucumbers with vodka, berries and lemon. Very disappointing flavor at an outrageous price of $16. I was in the mood for a beer and ordered one from the semi-local Mendocino county brewery, which to my great dismay, arrived at the table in a 12oz. can ! Really? Can we not at least get a fresh draft beer at a "fancy" restaurant like this? The Caesar salad arrived, and its very bland dressing was screaming for garlic and lemon juice. And sadly, just one lonely Boquerone was tossed in. My date ordered the Akaushi New York strip steak which was presented to her on a bare plate with only some chimichurri sauce around the meat. No garnish, no vegetables or rice, nothing !! For the bloated price of $58, couldn't they at least kick in some parsley or simple side dish like potatoes, etc. ? Additionally the steak had numerous pockets of tough grizzle meat which had to be worked around and separated out with the knife. Akaushi, really ? I ordered the Seared Scallop Risotto, which was very bland and the risotto was undercooked as evidenced by the hard, crunchy bits of rice in it. The 3 Scallops themselves were luke-warm and undercooked with very little flavor. Only one side of each scallop was browned, and there were no signs of any seasoning or even salt. Truly a disappointing dinner all in all! Then to add insult to injury, a trip to the restroom was absolutely disgusting ! The floor was a mess and the overwhelming stench of sewer gas was horrendous. I made mention of this situation to the manager and he made no apologies to me nor did he express any appreciation for the fact that I brought this to his attention. I also did not appreciate the "4% employee benefits charge added to all bills". For the highly inflated prices that they are already charging, it's highway robbery to add another 4% on top, in this post Covid era. Enough is enough, already ! Needless to say, we will never return to the Goose and Gander after such a truly disappointing dining experience.
Great atmosphere! Such a cool restaurant and bar
Great atmosphere! Such a cool restaurant and bar downstairs!!! All of the staff was super engaging and attentive. Jason provided amazing service and as a mixologist, gave some damn good recommendations for cocktails. We have come here few drinks a couple of times but this is the first time for food. Blown away!!! We chose it for restaurant week and the short rib did not disappoint! Have to come back to try other items. Oh, btw, you HAVE to try the sticky pigs ears. So good!!!!
Really nice place for dinner.
The menu was good. The cocktails were impressive. I had the fish which was really nicely cooked. The chef skill shined through.
Loved every bite! Went here with my girlfriend and were
Loved every bite! Went here with my girlfriend and were talking about going back! I wish I would have taken pics, but this place doesn't disappoint! The mushroom soup was delicious!
Highly recommended!
My wife and I dropped in the restaurant with no reservation on a very busy night . Luckily we were able to get seats at the bar . The restaurant and bar area were packed but the service was prompt and friendly. The menu was very good as was the wine list and bourbon selection. We both had steak , which was delicious, along with cauliflower and octopus. Our meal was perfect! We liked the atmosphere and energy of the restaurant. Every interaction we had with staff was pleasant and friendly. We were visiting Napa from out of state. On our next visit we will definitely stop in at Goose and Gander again .
Goose & Gander --- A delight.
I loved the layout of the restaurant. The design was charming. Our waitress of charming, didn't rush us, and it felt like home. The food was delicious as well. They also were happy to accommodate my requested change to my entree. Very satisfied customers.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
