The Grove at Copia

Rating: 3.8
Come here to help support culinary art students at the CIA. The kitchen staff are all CIA interns, students or recent graduates.
The atmosphete here at The Grove is peaceful among Olive trees on the patio and a modern zen vibe in the interior.
The menu changes so what is on the website may not be current.
We came on a Saturday and the menu was smaller than posted online.
We enjoyed the Fried Quail and Waffles, beet salad, BLT, and eggs benedict. These were all good but next time I would order the Burger only because the portions are small, particularly the quail which was more a miniature quail. ( very very tiny) The waffle was monstrous juxtaposed against the tiny tiny spiderlike quail . It also lacked garnish. Edible flowers? Maybe butter toppings and maple syrup creativity? Was lacking for the $21 price. Expected full size fried quail ... or shee shee plating.

We are advocates for the culinary arts so we are happy to support the arts at The Grove.
We are also hopeful that the learning and education will continue to promote more daring creativity but also just skilled kitchen Arts.

Support the Culinart Arts!

Just opened next to oxbow market. Offshoot of the CIA in St Helena. It is a full restaurant now open for lunch and dinner. Great modern atmosphere in a trendy setting. Food was great. Had salad and baked oysters for appetizer. Small plates, but full of flavor.

Nice place in Napa, the city is loaded of restaurant with local food, very fresh and high-end also. We were expecting a great dinner in the restaurant and I have to say with a little disappointment that wasn't what I thought.
Service great, restaurant very nice but the food was half good, the food fresh but not with great flavor and seemed to find the same recipes in a.few restaurant.

Very nice restaurant. Food and service were fantastic. I will definitely go every time I'm in Napa

Mother's Day Day was a good day! There was a mix up with our reservation and they found a way to accommodate us. Food was good... Service was excellent!

The entirety of the brunch was interesting from the moment we arrived. First we were told that our outdoor table had been given away, which didn’t really make sense, so we were seated inside, which was still beautiful. We were provided with a complementary round of bubbles as an apology for the table mix up and because we were celebrating. As it was being brought out, the entire tray was spilled onto someone in our party. We were then able to sit outside magically. Despite the food tasting great, the waitress seemed to have zero knowledge about anything about the menu or what was available at the restaurant. This was pretty frustrating but again the food was good.

If you love wine, make sure this destination is high on your must-do list while in the valley. It’s part of the Culinary Institute of America so you can guarantee everything will be high-end and well done. They specialize in wine education and have some events almost daily in association with that. Be sure to check out everything they offer there...enjoy their fantastic sandwich shop, wine bar, and wine tasting location along with an extraordinary restaurant with one of the best patios vibes anywhere. If you are doing some touring around downtown this is a must-do.

The glazed lamb ribs were delicious but 80% fat. The duck was very good

Great food, wine, ambiance, and service at CIA's new venue at Copia. Sit at the counter adjoining the open kitchen to chat with the chefs and observe how it's done.

The fraudulently ran my $51 bill for $181.00...the bill was paid in full and my receipt shows $51.00... we left our Server $60.00 on a $300 bill.. that is not ok and I'm disputing my whole bill .Then your close until Wednesday.... I will never come back.
