Compline

Wine-friendly food, food-friendly wines at downtown Napa star.

Compline has been a downtown Napa star since opening in 2017. A combination restaurant and wine bar, Compline also includes a shop (where flights are served) a few doors down.

The shop sells well-selected wines from around the world.

Wine-Friendly Cuisine

The restaurant’s waiters are well versed in all things wine, including what to pair with your meal. Expect wine-friendly cuisine and food-friendly wines. Depending on your mood and the menu du jour, you can feast on items like bavette or hanger steak, trout and rockfish, a pasta dish or two, fried chicken, and the Compline burger. If you get the burger, duck-fat fries are a must. The restaurant often hosts guest chefs, so the menu can vary. Diego Isunza Kahlo, the great-great-nephew of artist Frida Kahlo and a chef in Mexico City, completed a five-week residency in April 2026.

Sommelier Matt Stamp recommends French champagne with Compline’s duck-fat fries . . . and he’s right.
