The is was my second time dining at Napa on Providence. The first was just after opening and I was not impressed. So it's been awhile and I was looking forward to giving it another try. They have a great happy hour selection of cocktails, wine and appetizers. Definitely a nice bar area. I am torn on my rating----hard to give 4 or 5 stars when they forgot to put in my food order. There was a party of 6 and something happened to my order, either not put in or the kitchen simply messed it up. Nt much fun to sit and watch the rest of the table eat most of theirs before I received mine. That being said, the pan seared duck I ordered was good. A friend ordered the scallops with risotto - it was really good. Also sampled the eggplant mash that came with someone else's salmon---good as well. They also brought me soup while I waited which was nice but I really couldn't eat it.
I give the server and manager credit for trying to recover from my missing entree. They comped my dessert---olive oil lemon creme cake---delish!!!
So all in all, I would return. Everyone seemed pleased with their food and drink selections.
