Napa

This review is based on my experience of Napa on a Saturday evening. I didn’t have a meal there so I can’t comment on the food. To be honest Napa is really not the sort of place I would usually head to but choices were limited in Bramhall. It was dead for the first part of the evening and then at around 11pm the DJ started playing and it began to get very busy. Unfortunately the music was extremely cheesy. I haven’t heard Fill Me Up Buttercup for years and have no desire to do so again in a long time. The plus point was the seating was extremely comfortable (showing my age now) and the cocktail menu very good. The atmosphere was okay but we spent half of the evening waiting for it to get busy and the rest deafened by dodgy music.

Quite a nice lunch with friends. Comfortable, attractive surroundings. Food was ok, service not super fast but we were not in a hurry. Pleasant staff. All in all I would recommend if you are not too fussy.

Not bad but had better. Service is decent and food is ok. Lacks something I cannot put my finger on.

Napa is a lovely little bar come restaurant in the centre of Bramhall. It has a load of booths/​comfy chairs /​bar stools and tables towards the front near the bar, and a restaurant area in the back. They have a good selection of cocktails although they are a little pricey!
The food here is alright. not amazing, but ok. It is attempting to be more of a fine dining experience, experimenting with new flavours and ideas, however, what you get tends to always be a little. Strange. Some of the flavours you get together just don’t quite work. But they do cook a very good fillet steak. Ask for it blue and barely cooked it will be. I would go back to socialise with friends or family locally if we fancied something a little different and only wanted to go local as it has a nice atmosphere and great selection of drinks, just don’t expect to be bowled over by the food.

Napa is a lovely little restaurant, I love how much thought has been put into giving its diners a pleasurable experience. The décor inside is pleasing to the eye and dark woods have been set against exposed brickwork, and although this is not a large restaurant, each space for the bar and dining area have been set out well, I would liken this place to a lounge diner what with its circular booth seating opposite the modern bar. The menu is a celebration of all things meat with the 28-​day-​aged beef sourced from some of Cheshire’s best farms. The meat is served on wooden platters with chips arriving in buckets! Other menu options I noticed were rotisserie chicken, fresh fish, big salads, homemade burgers (including tuna teriyaki) and crayfish cocktails. The food is accompanied by a range of mainly American wines, beers plus milkshakes and sodas.
