    This was my second time dining at Gatehouse. Our server, Elisha, welcomed us and made our entire night. The service was outstanding, and answered all our questions with ease. Each course looked and tasted beautiful. The highlight dish for me was definitely the Butternut Squash Agnolotti. Second to best was the dessert, Chocolate Budino. Props to all the culinary students putting in hard work.

    This is my favorite place to eat in the Napa Valley. I'm gluten intolerant and they do a wonderful job accommodating that and food was excellent. It's also fun to chat with the students who are serving the meal

    All was very nice and our friends first experience was very favorable. We have enjoyed the gate house several times before and it did not disappoint.

    Everything was wonderful except when the bil came we were charged a corkage fee even though we also bought a bottle. When called to confirm the caller said no corkage fee if also purchased a bottle.... a slip up.
