May You Have a Wonderful Month!

Dear Friends,

Can you believe May is already here and almost halfway over? We're loving this change of weather so don't forget our wonderful outside patio for your next dinner at Napa Café!

While Mother's Day may be over, we know the perfect gift to help celebrate any occasion... a Napa Café gift certificate! Let them know how important they are by providing them with an unforgettable evening whenever they please.

In February, we began presenting Hastings' Tasting Wine Features where we spotlight one (or a few) of Glenda's favorite wines from Napa Café's wine list. This month we are recognizing North Berkeley Imports. North Berkeley has sourced authentic, expressive wines from France and Italy, destined for leading restaurants and wine shops as well as private cellars across the country and, of course, Napa Café! North Berkeley Imports is locally owned by Billy Weiss with headquarters in Berkeley, California. You may remember Billy and Glenda did a fun and informative virtual wine dinner with their own "show" in 2020. What good times! Have a glass of one of Billy's wines next time you dine with us.

If you or someone you know is celebrating an upcoming college or high school graduation, consider our spacious dining rooms, which seat up to 65 people, ensuring everyone is included in a memorable celebration!

Our beloved crab cakes are back! After many requests, we are excited to announce that our Maryland-style crab cakes have returned to our menu!

Did you know May is recognized as National Salad Month? We just so happen to know a few things about delicious salads from our Spinach Salad, Caesar Salad, and Iceberg Wedge Salad to our signature Napa Salad. How refreshing!

What is your favorite Napa Café menu item? We are so excited to begin featuring a recipe of the month so everyone can enjoy their favorites even on the days they can't make it into Napa! We want to hear from you, what recipe shall we feature next?

If you've recently dined in or ordered delivery, we'd love for you to share your dining experience with us by posting a review to our OpenTable or Facebook page!

Here's what you can look forward to in this newsletter:

The Perfect Gift Idea!

Mother's Day may be over but a Napa Café Gift Certificate is always THE perfect gift idea!

They are available in any amount, beautifully wrapped, & ready for

pick-up. Why struggle finding a gift when we have the perfect one?

Hastings' Tastings: North Berkeley Imports

We are thrilled to announce North Berkeley Imports as our Hastings' Tastings feature of the month!

North Berkeley Imports wears three unique yet interconnected hats in the fine wine market including importer, wholesaler, and retail store. When importing they have a distinct focus on wines from France and Italy. As a wholesaler, many of their selections appear in some of the country’s top restaurants and wine bars. And the retail store is where North Berkeley Imports started in 1979 as a small neighborhood wine shop in Berkeley, California. Glenda has featured his wines on Napa Cafe's wine list for more than two decades.

In honor, we will be offering Noth Berkeley's Domaine de Figueirasse’s Gris de Gris by the glass all month! The next time you are in, be sure to celebrate by trying one of Glenda's favorites including the Colline Lucchesi Palistorti di Valgiano or the Colline Lucchesi Tenuta di Valgiano!
