Napa Valley Grille is very pleased to announce our arrangement with Community Supported Agriculture! We have joined forces with Country Fresh Farms, which has two properties; one is located in Tarzana and the other in Somis. Country Fresh Farms will be dropping off baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables every Wednesday at our restaurant, and members can then conveniently pick up their produce here between the hours of 2pm and 6pm. Napa Valley Grille will augment each basket with an item that can be used with offerings from that week, and Chef Joseph will also be preparing a seasonal farm dinner for all participants, which will be held at the farm and at Napa Valley Grille!

Napa Valley Grille Hosts On Stage at UCLA!

We are very excited to have two of our hosts in UCLA's current productions of Il Sogno D'Arlecchino and Our Town! Our very own Jackson and Sandra greet you with a friendly smile as you enter our doors, and we are excited to see them doing so well as they persue their love for theater.
Jackson (pictured above) plays a few different roles in Our Town: two paper boys, Sam Craig, and a best man. Sandra stars in the role of Rebecca Gibb, the younger sister. In Il Sognio D'Arlecchino, Jackson stars as Pulcinello while Sandra takes on the role of the lover, Innamorati. Both shows are currently open and will run through next week. We look forward to seeing them perform! Congrats Jackson and Sandra!

Ahoy Maties! Deadliest Catch Crablegs Straight Ahead!



This past week, we were fortunate enough to have crab legs fresh off the famous Time Bandit, the 113-foot house aft fishing boat on Discovery Channel's hit TV show Deadliest Catch! Led by Jonathan Hillstrand, the Time Bandit crew risked their lives so that our guests at Napa Valley Grille could experience a seafood extravaganza right here in Westwood. Immediately after being caught, the crew cooked the legs on the boat, which holds 137 pots, and the legs were then flown straight here to our restaurant.

"Captain" Chef Joseph enjoyed serving this mouth-watering delicacy with a side of drawn butter and cocktail sauce that our guests will surely never forget!
