Description

Specialties

The Napa beverage philosophy is simple; approachable wines, beers and cocktails at approachable prices. Like restaurants and vineyard bars in Napa, we are always looking for those amazing gems of domestic beverage production that we can offer at amazing prices without the added costs of importing or name recognition. Our wine list is what we call Napa’s Top 100, a list of 100 great California wines. The wines by the glass portion of the list is centered around our wines on tap system, the largest in the state of North Carolina. A wine on tap is simply a wine dispensed from a large stainless steel keg. The benefits of this are numerous. It is environmentally friendly — thousands of glass bottles are avoided and that means there is no bottling cost. These costs savings are passed on to you — can be up to 20% less expensive than the same wine poured from a bottle. It is fresher and higher quality. When a wine by the glass is dispensed from a normal bottle, the wine immediately begins to spoil the moment the bottle is opened. In many cases the wine is already spoiled the next day as the restaurant continues to pour from the same bottle. In a keg system, the wine stays 100% fresh for months. You will be able to taste the difference. There are more choices — we dispense wines on tap in 3oz pours, 6oz pours, 12oz carafes and 24oz carafes (same as a bottle). This gives you more freedom of choice and allows you to experiment with different wines.

History

Very good place. A nice variety of appetizers and nicely prepared entrees. Went there with a group of colleagues from work. Outdoor seating was a plus.

3rd time here. Heather was waitress. Did great job. Whole staff did. Manager even introduced herself.
We shared several small plates. Started with Rosa wine. Fried Calamari (was OK). Riesling. Onion soup (slightly sweet flavor). PEI muscles (creamy tasty sauce) (came with dry, brittle toast-​tossed that aside) mopped up with fresh, warm bread roll (Much Better). Charcutrie: wild boar salami (great), smoked sausage (blah, bland, no flavor), midnight bloom cheese (sharp flavor, only as big as your thumb), dijon mustard, roasted/​honey nuts (delicious) w/​dry brittle toast (not used). Keep the fresh warm bread comin.
We really like Napa on Providence. A real treat.

Food is stellar but sadly 3 stars due to ridic long wait for our food
Place wasn’t even booming, but our food took way too long. Server said the manager would be over to speak with us, but manager didn’t even come over –which speaks volumes!
In terms of the food, some dishes are hot or miss.
Cheese and meat plate is the way to start.
Tuna tartare is not flavorful. Salmon Cobb salad was delicious albeit skimpy on the salmon and prosciutto bits were way over done to an uncomfortable hard texture.

2 years later and Sunday Brunch was still solid. On the other hand, I’m amazed that they haven’t updated the brunch menu — I guess if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it.
I didn’t have bottomless mimosa this time, but most of my friends did. Our waiter was GREAT with bringing refills. Food was great, I didn’t feel like brunch food and went with the duck confit gnocchi ($ 11) which was a good size portion for a small plate AND DE-​LI-​CIOUS!
Solid brunch spot — good job with keeping up a good job!

I’ve been to Napa on Providence several times and it is always a great experience. I’ve even booked the larger room to host an event and it too was a pleasant experience. I recommend going for brunch and the $ 12 bottomless mimosas!

I am one of those annoying people who never goes to the same restaurant twice, but since I moved to Charlotte a year ago I have been to Napa on Providence four times. This place provides an amazing experience without fail. Any time someone is new in town, I will bring them to Napa. Highly recommend for a nice evening out (make sure to make reservations !!)

First time visiting Napa on Providence and I will be back again to check out their Happy Hour and their weekend Brunch.
The décor and ambiance is so inviting as you walk in you are greeted by the hostess, who seats you at the booth. We came around 5:45 PM and Happy Hour was going on full swing with live music. Will definitely be back for that.
Service was exceptional, our waiter Brandon came back to check up on us to find out how the food was as well provided feedback on the specials and the dishes to select from. Extensive wine list with so many options.
Whole team effort when it comes to staff and working cohesively. Josh, the assistant gave great recommendation on the desserts as well.
They make one mean Cosmopolitan. The first one was more pinkish than the second and they both tasted perfect. Probably, there is more than one bartender at the bar making cocktails and drinks.
Warm bread with pomegranate butter spread. Wow.
Appetizer– ordered the Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs. Each meatball was sitting on a crispy polenta cake. Very tasty with the Pomodoro sauce.
The Berkshire Pork Osso Bucco with Israeli couscous was cream and the pork just slides off the shank. The mixture with the diced butternut squash and chestnut gives the sweetness to the couscous.
My friend ordered the Braised Short Ribs with Hanger Steak. He loved it.
Ordered the Red Velvet Cake and the Gingerbread Cake– looked like a chocolate soufflé with a scoop of ice cream on the side and caramel sauce. Got my sweet tooth fix and with a cup of cappuccino made my evening so memorable.

We came to Napa on Providence last month for Charlotte restaurant week. When we parked, we didn’t realize we had parked in the restaurant parking lot as we saw the sign on Providence road, not on the actual road they are on. Would be better right in front of the front entrance of the restaurant. Someone outside pointed us to thr right way as we looked lost walking in the dark.
The apps we started with were the mussels and risotto balls, both were excellent! My husband had the salmon and I had the pork chop for dinner. These also both hit the mark and were very flavorful. I am a huge sweet person so I was very excited about their dessert offerings. I had the red velvet cheesecake and my husband had the chocolate torte. His just tasted like a frozen chocolate cake, nothing homemade, just blah. The red velvet cheesecake was very disappointing, just didn’t get a big taste of cheesecake and the red velvet cake part was dry. Hate to say it but cheesecake factory has a much better one. So Napa lost us on the dessert.
Napa overall had some great food, but they need to work on desserts, come on!

I’ve been to Napa eight times, but yesterday was my second trip to Napa on Providence. It’s totally not the same, but they share one similarity… both trips were a great experience.
On a Saturday night, this place can be a bit of a scene, especially in the bar area. On a Wednesday night, it’s a bit more tame. I sat in the dining room and the décor was really cute. I don’t know if it’s «Napa», but it’s a lot of wine stuff that’s done tastefully.
The staff there is incredibly friendly. The waiter last night was very nice in both his service and his recommendations for food and wine. I went with one of their Cabernet wines on tap, which was pretty good. There are three sizes, so you can either order a large carafe, a large glass or a small one… perfect for those who are non-​committal and just want a taste, or to those looking to drink a while.
The food here is really great. I’ve had the cheese plate in the past, and the meatballs are yummy. Last night, all three dishes were winners. The Napa Salad has a bit of citrus, pancetta, and a few other fun ingredients. Score one for the waiter and the kitchen for splitting the salad in the back so I didn’t have to! Next was the short rib ravioli. It was a very hearty meal of about 5 large raviolis, and they don’t skimp on the short rim filling! Last was the duck two ways. That and the risotto were both cooked perfectly.
This place is nice, and the prices they charge appropriately reflect the quality you receive. I don’t know if I’ll be back here 8 times, but it’s going on two of my restaurant lists: 1. Repeats, and 2. Recommendations for others.
Napa on Providence is such a versatile place. I would totally take my parents here if they were in town, or meet the girls for drinks, or meet a date here for either a small pour or a large carafe depending on how much I like him.

Visited here for a friend’s birthday dinner. Had the lobster ravioli, which was just okay. Friends who had pork chops had a revelation that she doesn’t like chops. Calamari was tasty. So was the risotto. The waitress allowed us to order drink specials that were listed as only available at the bar. That was a plus. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive. I’m inclined to recommend doing happy hour, but skipping dinner. I’ll come back for dinner and try something else to be sure. Based on price (avg. $ 25 entrée), I expected more.

We had brunch here with friends and they had reservations, which seems like a must on a busy weekend. I had the special — smoked salmon frittata with tomatoes and goat cheese. It was excellent and came with roasted potatoes, which were a good match for the savory eggs. I liked the bloody mary cocktails –nice salty flavor. Also liked the pumpkin bread that came as a free appetizer with the meal. We did not have dessert but I bet they are yummy. The parking lot is over behind the building and the décor is polished wood with cool light fixtures. You would not know from the building wall that faces Providence Rd. I would love to try their wine list sometime and dinner too.

Always had exceptional service at this restaurant. Very nice crew and manager. My food was delicious, I loved it every visit. I would recommend to anyone for a nice date night. Food is a little pricey, but very well worth it. Will be back!

I had such a nice time here this past week when I stopped by. My boss and I got a bottle of wine and a few apps to eat. The wine was great and the chef sent out a complimentary cheese and bread plate which was delicious. The restaurant was clean and the vibe was really relaxing. The bar tables are a little awkwardly shaped — so we ended up sitting in the dining room. I will definitely be returning.

Mediocre food and poor service will cause us not to return.
We were greeted with a smile by the hostess and brought immediately to our table. The décor was modern with rustic hints.
Our server greeted us with little enthusiasm never making suggestions for food nor beverages.
I ordered a glass of Roth red and my husband threw her off by his coffee order. She seemed put out by the request of skim milk.
We ordered a Duck Confi gnocchi which was well portioned and savory. It was served by a runner who was pleasant.
The stuffed meatball capollni was as tasty as a dish served by Olive Garden. In other words disappointing! My husband’s mushroom and zucchini sandwich was good. His french fries reminded him of McDonald’s fries.
We were not offered dessert and when the check came we received a spark of personality from our server… too late…15% tip…

This was an okay place to experience and I don’t really see myself going back here. The place is nestled in a nice area, and although I thought the first area I saw for parking was small, I drove a little bit past the restaurant and was able to find great parking where I didn’t feel like I had to cram my car into a spot.
I had gone into this restaurant with a party of five and honestly, when I stepped foot into the place, I didn’t really feel warm and welcomed. Perhaps it’s because my party were all girls that look like we’re still in high school/​college. While walking to our table, I noticed the decorations were all very beautiful in here. We were able to have a booth long booth, and I really like having a booth for a party of 5 instead of just tables.
The waiter was nice, but I felt that he wasn’t quite attentive with us as he was to the other tables around us. That really irked me. He also did not mention to us the specials that they had for the night. How were we able to order the specials? I randomly noticed it written on the chalk board so I read the specials myself.
The food here definitely was not amazing for me. The only thing that I really liked was the p.e.i. mussels. If you come here, you definitely need to try that out. My main meal was the braised short rib and grilled hanger steak. I thought it tasted okay, but it was a little flavorless for me. The spinach was something that definitely stuck out to me. It was too salty! I mean, I love salty food, but when it’s too salty for me… no bueno!
All in all, not a good experience for me.

I’ve been here a couple of times and I always enjoy it. A great place to go out with friends as there’s plenty of seating inside and some outdoors for the nice nights. I’m not overly impressed with the food as there’s nothing that stands out taste-​wise. But it’s not bad — 3.5 stars. They have a new fall menu supposedly, so you may be able to try something different. The bourbon apples on the squash pizza was a good mix of sweet and bourbon. The pots-​de-​crème was also a delicious dish overall, but needed more of it on the plate!
The mixed drinks are pricey but good and the beers are reasonably priced for the setting and atmosphere. The service we received from the staff supervisor who waited on us during a non-​busy Saturday evening was excellent — 4+ stars. Answered all of our questions, made honest suggestions, and overall helpful. I’d return for another nice evening for date night or dinner with friends.

Me and a few friends had dinner at Napa on Providence on a Wednesday night. A co-​worker suggested the place and had good things to say so I was eager to try it.
The first thing I noticed when arriving was the beautiful art on the walls and high ceilings. We were seated past the bar in the area of the dining room which overlooked the terrace. on a cooler day I think it would have been an ideal place to sit. The waitress immediately came by to provide water and fresh bread with a nice honey butter. The menu had a lot of unique items and the wine list was extensive but not overwhelming offering by the glass, carafe, and by the bottle offerings.
I had a glass of rosé which was very good and not overly sweet, while my friend had a cabernet. For entrees I ordered the mushroom and crab ravioli which was very light, flavorful and refreshing from the lemon zest and the black pepper ravioli. It was a good choice to pair with the rose, and would probably also go well with a Chardonnay or Viognier from the wine list. My friends had the duck duo and the hanger steak salad, both of which looked very good.
There were many items on the appetizer list as well as other dishes I would like to try in the future based on some of the dishes other diners had around me, the pizzas and charcuterie looked great and I plan on trying the swordfish on next visit. Overall I thought the food, service, décor, and wine list were excellent.
I would be mindful that the parking is a little sparse but I believe there may be lots nearby or even at Harris Teeter if space is limited.

I went here for brunch with some fabulous friends, and it was FANTASTIC! We sat on the patio and our server was very attentive and patient. They have bottomless mimosas (I think for $ 15 or $ 18); however, if you just want one it’s only like $ 6. You just have to know to ask for a single glass. We made reservations which I would definitely suggest!
Some of the girls got chicken sandwiches (they asked for theirs grilled not fried). They were HUGE and they seemed to love them and the fries. As other reviewers noted, they have these really interesting copper glasses. Which, I actually expected to be a problem — I expected it to change the taste of the water, but it didn’t. Inside the cup it looked like steel with only the hammered copper on the outside. For water, they bring you a bottle (just a plain glass bottle with a rubber stopper) of chilled water so you never run out.
I skipped the mimosa on this occasion, but my friend ordered one and seemed to enjoy it. I looked around and noticed the mimosas were a big hit. In fact, I noticed some men had ordered mimosas but requested them in larger wine glasses than in the flutes — which I thought was clever. I also noticed one guy who asked for him mimosa in two wine glasses with OJ in one and champagne in the other — also clever!
Now I ordered the Pancetta Hash and Poached Eggs, which is something totally unusual for me to order. (See my photo.) THANK GOD I DID — OMG! Delish! So it reminded me of a farm-​to-​table rustic dish with a mix of cubed and roasted sweet potatoes with pancetta (which were like little cubes of cooked ham, more hammy than bacony — are those words?). There was thinly sliced and sauteed fennel mixed in (not to be confused with just the seeds, which can be quite potent. This was mild and really really good.). There were also sauteed sliced peppers mixed in and it was all well seasoned. On top of that, there were two perfectly poached eggs (hooray!) and on top of that there was a drizzle of their homemade hollandaise sauce. SO SO SO SO SO GOOD!
Seriously, if you go for brunch, go outside the box and get this dish. You can get an omelet or waffles anywhere, this is a special dish. And it was reasonably priced at $ 12. If you’re not driving, also go with the bottomless mimosas! I hope I get to go back soon! It was an hour drive from my home (I live North of the city), but was totally worth it — the food, the service, the atmosphere and the experience were all great!

An outstanding addition to Charlotte’s dining scene, Napa on Providence is a great spot for a romantic dinner, a business lunch, or a night out with friends. My wife and I came in on Valentine’s Day weekend, and enjoyed a fantastic meal, some great wine, and excellent service.
I started with a succulent order of Oysters Rockefeller, followed by an excellent dish of grilled Mahi Mahi. My wife’s steak was equally outstanding, and the extensive selection of wine-​by-​the-​glass allowed us to sample some wonderful labels for the first time.
The location is convenient, the parking free, and the intimate setting perfect for just about any special occassion. We couldn’t have picked a better spot to celebrate a special night out, and will definitely be back.
