About Carpe Diem Restaurant & Bar

Carpe Diem Restaurant & Bar is a restaurant in Napa that serves contemporary American and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. The restaurant offers both shareable appetizers and generous portions of meat, seafood, pasta, and risotto dishes so that diners can create a small meal in the wine bar or have a hearty dinner experience.

The kitchen is adept at serving grilled octopus, burrata, duck, lamb shank, scallops, branzino, lobster risotto, and chicken Parmesan. This variety helps the restaurant maintain an eclectic menu without forgetting about the seasonally fresh California ingredients in Napa.
