Goose & Gander is a unique place in the Napa Valley. After much wine tasting, the food and cocktails here can be a refreshing break. The abundant bounty of the region is on full display on every plate and is served in a pub-like dining room that is dimly lit and romantic. The food is rustic and mouthwatering, the lush patio is beautiful on a warm day, and the wine list is focused on local wines but still features some international flair.
