TORC in Napa

Had a wonderful experience at Torc tonight. David was our server and did an outstanding job. Every single member of the staff was very friendly and attentive. What a memorable experience, and we will be back for many years to come!!

Absolutely loved everything we tried here. Squash blossoms are a must! Service was great. We sat outside which was okay. I wish the tables and chairs out there felt a little more upscale like the inside.

The most amazing experience Ive ever had. Just go. Amazing everything. Chilled Pea Soup & pistachio/ strawberry tiramisu were to die for. I loved the tempura asparagus the sauce was addicting and I loved how they sliced the asparagus before it was fried. I liked the pakora but would get 3 each of the above before Id reorder it.The service was perfect. The music was right up my alley.... Played classic R & B, hip hop. I loved eating my meal listening to Wutang & The Fugees.We sat outside it was beautiful. This was my first time here And I know Ill come back every single time I visit. Cant wait!

Went at 4pm on a weekend. The bar is open seating so no reservation needed. Staff was friendly. They have happy hour deals which was great. The sweet potato pakora was amazing.I would return here

A highlight of the Napa restaurant scene, Torc brings some eye watering specials to the table with enormous steaks and a wild lobster feast that will explode any unwitting wallet, but the main menu is full of inspired favorites that don’t necessarily have to break the bank.Every item is high quality and sustainable, local where possible. From the pakora to the perfectly seasoned fries and pastas- they’re nailing flavor and texture across the board. Service could have been more unique or attentive, but it wasn’t poor. Everything happened with good cadence and control, but I can see what other diners say when they expect perfection for the prices being paid.Try the bread. Try the pastas. The steaks may not live up to the hype or price tags. Pea soup was lovely. Ditto the salad. They’ve got a vegetable team working just as hard as the meat team which you love to see.

Went upon a recommendation from a friend.We were promptly seated and provided water. Our server greeted us but spoke softly and seemed like always a step behind where we were in our meal and decision process.Their wine list has a unique section for some nicer wines by the glass that use the Coravin wine preservation system. So you can have it without buying the bottle.We had the bread appetizer. It was great with the whipped butter. (It’s actually listed as a side not an app)We ordered the filet and the ziti. The ziti is described as a smaller dish and it was (a nice size to not be over full after eating). It tasted good. Would likely order that if returning.The filet was served with a gravy that resembled pot roast gravy with some pot roast shreds under the steak. It tasted good however I feel it took away from the steak. The grits were good and even better with some of the gravy. Maybe it was more intended for that anyway?The steak was tender and good flavor (without the gravy). Ordered it medium and it was med rare. Not a big deal as I can do either just fine.The restaurant is in a neat old stone/brick building. There’s plenty of room so not overly crowded at your table.The assistants for the server were probably more attentive than our server- always keeping our waters full.All in all for the price, it seemed a little overpriced for the quality received. Maybe that’s par for the course for Napa.

This place is top notch! The space is beautiful with a decent size bar/very high ceilings and an open kitchen. The host was super kind, our table wasnt ready yet so we got a drink at the bar. The bartender was pleasant. Really good vibes in thereOnce we sat after we were quickly greeted by Marco who gave us a run down of the menu. He made suggestions as well. Im sad I forgot to take photos of our first course watch was a crostini with burrata and truffles. We also order the Pakora, mywife took a bit and said oh wow. The flavor combo was so good.We shared the salad which was simple and fresh. Next was the pasta dish, which may have been the star. We got the fettuccine with the ragu, the whole dish just kinda melted in my mouth.Entrees with had the scallops and the duck breast. Both excellent.This was my first night in Napa and Torc set the bar very high I fear I maybe disappointed with my other dining experiences.Was not hungry didnt even finish the entrees but had to order the banana pudding and it was worth it.I was happy to see a Vieux Carré on the menu! Last year my wife and I went to Mardi Gras and we discovered this cocktail. This restaurant reminded me off other amazing restaurants Ive been too in New Orleans which is a great city to eatWhen leaving we were telling the host how great everything was and she looked very proud and said my husband is the chef.Love that.

A fabulous dinner place! The food was exquisite and very rich in flavor. We had the squash blossoms, wild mushroom risotto with black truffles, the Maine scallops, and strawberry cream puff with pistachio ganache.The popcorn on the scallop dish felt out of place. Everything else was went well together. Highly recommend when in Napa!

Every dish at Torq was spectacular. We had the bread and the Hamachi tartar for appetizer the Kennebec fries. One of the members in my party does not like raw fish and she thought it was delicious. There were 4 different types of bread super fresh and toasted to perfection. The waiter also sold us on the Fries, the aioli was very good the ketchup was not the best so got double aioli instead. Be got the duck and the tortellini that was divine! Looking for a fabulous upscale restaurant experience this is it!

Beef rib is really good. We ordered crudo Hamachi twice.
