Compline

By / Downtown Napa, Food/Drink, Napa Valley, Wine

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

Compline has been a downtown Napa star since opening in 2017. Matt Stamp (The French Laundry) and Ryan Stetins (the late Redd and Redd Wood in Yountville and Charlie Trotter restaurants in Chicago and Las Vegas) are behind this combination restaurant and wine bar with 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, for dinner you can feast on items that might include bavette steak, wild salmon or rockfish, a pasta dish or two, and lamb or duck breast. The Compline burger (on a Model Bakery bun), a fried-chicken sandwich, and a vegetarian dish are usually on offer for lunch. If you get the burger, the duck-fat fries are a must.

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