The CIA at Copia (The Culinary Institute of America) Napa Reviews from The Last Year
A long time dream come true
We had Sunday Brunch here and having always wanted to attend CIA it was a dream come true. Our food was so great and the staff was phenomenal. The crab dip starter was melt in your mouth and the French Toast was out of this world. After we took a tour of the kitchens...met the Bread maker who invited us to try his fresh baked cherry chocolate nip bread. What a treat.
I have been wanting to try this spot since moving to Napa.
Their gardens out front are incredible and their reputation for cooking classes must be a reflection of how amazing their food is! We went for restaurant week so our experience may be slightly different from the norm but still worth raving about!Aesthetic - 10/10Classy, quaint, and clean. Staff is so nice and enthusiastic about their restaurant.Our order:- Appetizer salad - 10/10 - So fresh and delicious! I could've eaten one twice this size!- Roasted carrots - 9/10 - Perfectly cooked with a yummy balance of flavors.- BBQ ribs, cornbread, and macaroni & cheese - 7/10 This is where the meal fell short for me which was sad. The ribs were suuuuper dry. I basically chugged my wine to get through each bite. I had high hopes for them because the restaurant smelled SO GOOD. The macaroni and cornbread were super delicious and made up for the ribs! But it was a bummer to have the main show stopper fall so short.- Dessert - 10/10 - WOW this was so good! I cannot remember the name of it but it had such a creative balance of flavors!Even though the ribs were disappointing, I would definitely give this place another try!

I went to CIA at Copia for a 3D dining experience that is held every Friday and Saturday of the week which cost $155 a person. I had a 4 course menu which includes:Appetizer: Waffles & Caviar- this is my favorite out of the 3 snack size appetizer. The waffles tasted more like hash browns and the caviar was just amazing.Spicy Tuna - Rice-Tots- I also enjoyed this one as well. It tasted like marinated tuna in a poke bowl which I am a big fan ofBurrata Bruschetta: my least favorite out of the appetizers- the bruschetta tasted a bit bitter and that is probably due to the flower First Course: Miso Glazed Sablefish: This is probably my favorite dish of the night. The fish was done extremely well. The fish tasted buttery with a nice smooth texture and it was perfectly glazed with the Miso. The shiitake mushrooms and bok choy and the black garlic were perfect compliments to the dish. Thumbs up all around on the pairing.Main Course: Wagyu Short Rib: The short rib was pretty good but I felt like it lacked some flavoring to bring out the beef taste. I think it would have tasted a lot better if they paired it with a sauce of some type. I got a pretty lean part of the short rib but my girlfriend and neighbors across got a much more fatty piece but we all agreed mutually that the flavoring can be done better.Dessert: Chocolate Opera Cake: The cake tasted pretty good but more on the richer side and the proportion of the dessert was very huge that it was even greater than my main course so I was completely full after the dessert. 3D Dining Experience: The 3D experience was amazing. They created a nice story to fit the dishes in with the story. We were all seated in a large rectangular table and they have projectors up on the ceiling to project the 3D animation and films. They also have nice music playing in the background. Overall the ambiance was really nice inside with positive vibes. I highly recommend coming here if you have not tried a 3D dining experience before!
The Grove at Copia is an excellent place to get good food.
Their marketing says: "The Grove at Copia is the signature restaurant from The Culinary Institute of America right in the heart of downtown Napa." The restaurant is really called "The Grove at Copia" :-)The Culinary Institute trains chefs for their new jobs. Most training is done at the Greystone property in St. Helena. That said, the food here is excellent. We started with deviled eggs carbonara containing crispy Parmesan. This appetizer was excellent and we couldn't think of one we liked better. The avocado bruschetta was nicely prepared on whole grain bread with cucumbers, radishes, toasted pepitas and mint. Flavors gave us a nice second course.The black truffle polenta with poached eggs was a great breakfast We asked for poached eggs soft and the kitchen fulfilled our request.After this we got the Grove lime pie with lime caviar. Yes there is a lime fruit that is filled with "seeds" that pop just like fish caviar.Wow. The whole meal was fantastic. The restaurant is casual but elegant. The grove mural set the atmosphere. We strongly suggest you visit the restaurant.

Maybe it was an off night, but the server was almost comically bad - 20 min after being seated in a half-empty restaurant there was still no sign of her, and we finally asked the host. It took another 30 minutes to get a glass of wine - and the wrong one at that. She made at least 3 additional mistakes with our order. The food was edible, but bland and uninspired. There are much better restaurants here.
This is one of the very best meals I've had in a long time.
The service was fabulous nd the ambiance and food was even better. I would rate it a 7 if I could! Tasty vegetarian options and the halibut was fire! I will visit every time I'm in Nappa...
Excellent food , excellent service.
We had the hook in line caught halibut, the Cauliflower tempura and a holiday cocktail. The staff was friendly and the ambience was great. Overall a great dining experience. We will definitely be back in the near future. Highly recommend.

Came for a private event and there was a nice space that we held cocktail hour and a private area for dinner.Bartenders were very nice and friendly to chat with.The food was outstanding. The salad with Parmesan crisps was delicious. Both the root-crusted filet mignon and scallops were super tender and outstanding. The preserved meyer lemon tarts was also great.Highly recommend!

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!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
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.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
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.
