"Greg Cole is a Napa Valley Marquee Chef. His two restaurants in Downtown
Napa keep regulars returning for the fresh and lively food, but to his
loving and good humored children, he is just dad. There are never too
many tomatoes in Greg Cole’s business or his home. He offers two simple
recipes plus a seasonal video to make the season of tomato rapture live

 "It was the New Zealand rack of lamb that made me a convert. I’ve reviewed lots of restaurants in Napa, but for some reason I never made it to Cole’s Chop House. I didn’t really think there’d be much of interest in a steakhouse. It took our monthly Wine Country section on Napa, which will be published on Sunday, Aug. 22, that lured me through the door of this 1886 structure that has thick rock walls, an open kitchen downstairs and a mezzanine that overlooks the downstairs action and still has enough ceiling height to feel luxurious...."

Best Steak House in the Bay Area Zagat Survey

One of the top five steak houses - The Best of Bay Area Dining San Francisco Chronicle

"...Cole's sense of retro steak-house is unerring... the featured porterhouse steak along with other stellar meat entrées, has marbling worthy of a Renaissance chapel." Bon Appetit

"Cole's Chop House, paean to the joys of carnivorous consumption from Napa Valley's chef/restaurateur Greg Cole. " The Examiner

February, 2005 America's Best Wine-Driven Restaurants Award of Unique Distinction Wine Enthusiast Magazine

Food: 26 Decor: 22 Service: 23 Top rated Steakhouse in the 2006 Zagat Survey - San Francisco - Bay Area Guide. Top rated Steakhouse 2006, 2005 & 2004 Set in an 1886 historic building, Greg Cole's Napa meatery "satisfies that red-meat craving" with "dry-aged", "juicy porterhouses" and ''wonderful sides"; the clientele admits the "array of beef" "will clog the heart and separate you from the Benjamins" but it's "just what you need for that Screaming Eagle" or another full-bodied fave from the "fabulous" 220-label list; locals, though, prefer quaffing "great Martinis" and "chatting" with the "accommodating staff" at the "happening" bar.
