About Little Summer

Located within the Napa Marriott, Little Summer brings the agricultural richness of Napa Valley to the table with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients. Led by Chef Benjamin Lacy, the menu features modern California cuisine that draws heavily from the restaurant's 1,200-square-foot on-site heirloom garden, alongside products from local farms and ranches. The atmosphere strikes a balance between casual convenience and wine country elegance, making it an excellent choice for hotel guests and locals alike. Diners can expect a variety of dishes ranging from artisan charcuterie boards and fresh salads to house-made pastas and grilled seafood. Whether you are stopping in for a hearty breakfast featuring local favorites or a relaxed dinner, the restaurant provides a warm and inviting setting for any occasion.

Napa Valley Restaurant

"This restaurant is inside of the Marriott hotel. We frequented this place for breakfast, lunch and to grab quick drinks. The staffs are friendly but it does take some time for the food to come out. Their chicken caesar wrap was good and you get an option to get a salad or fries. The price is also friendly for Napa Valley. I was able to use my dining credits while staying there and it’s convenient cause you can just charge the bill to your room. There’s plenty of tables and the bar is large, never had to wait for a table or a place to sit."
