goose & gander

Type: Farm to Table, Rustic American // $$–$$$

Goose & Gander is where history meets incredible rustic American cuisine in a storied 1923 Craftsman bungalow. Executive Chef Ignacio Beltrán collaborates with produce harvested daily from the restaurant’s own two-acre Napa farm, crafting seasonally driven dishes and outstanding bar bites that shine across three distinct spaces—a cozy, pub-like dining room, a legendary basement bar, and a beautiful garden. Pair your meal with retro-fresh cocktails or selections from the award-winning wine list for an unforgettable St. Helena experience.

Why we like it:

We love their farm-to-table approach—everything tastes incredibly fresh and reflects the season. The three distinct spaces allow you to choose your vibe: intimate dinners in the dining room, lively evenings in the basement bar, or relaxed garden dining under the trees. You must try their duck fat fries and famed G&G Burger with bone marrow addition. Perfect for any occasion, from date nights to group gatherings, this is one of St. Helena’s most beloved spots—reservations recommended.
