General Notes

New American restaurant in St. Helena (napa valley), that's apparently pretty famous for their fried chicken. Rustic vibe, decent food but I wouldn't put it much past that.


Negatives

> Had a pretty negative experience with the service; we ordered the fried chicken and it just didn't come for like 30 minutes. We saw other tables get served, and it seems like they just entirely forgot about our order. Didn't really get any kind of apology or acknowledgement from the server either.


Dishes Tasted

  • ★★☆☆ charlie's fried chicken -- the texture is really good and the meat is super juicy, but the flavor leaves quite a bit to be desired. It's pretty bland, even with the hot sauce.
  • ★★☆☆ bbq tomales bay oysters -- decent, good flavor on the oysters, but pretty small
  • ★★☆☆ crispy garden cauliflower -- with georgia's ranch. Overall a decent dish but I'm not a huge fan of the cornbread texture when fried
