How to Get a Reservation at Press in Napa Valley
Press, the St. Helena steak-and-cellar destination with a legendary Napa wine list, books on OpenTable and by phone. Prime nights fill fast, so book ahead or watch for a cancellation.
The short answer
Press is the St. Helena fine-dining restaurant known for its wood-fired steaks and one of the deepest Napa Valley wine cellars anywhere. It takes reservations on OpenTable and by phone. The standard rolling window applies, with prime weekend seatings as the constrained inventory, so confirm the current window on the live listing and book early for those.
When your night shows nothing, the realistic path is the cancellation in the final 24 to 48 hours before service, plus same-day openings. Those appear briefly and clear fast.
Which seatings open up
- Weeknights are easier than the busy weekend, especially in high season.
- Early and late seatings open more often than the prime middle of the evening.

Catching a cancellation
Press draws steady wine-country and special-occasion demand, and cancellations appear in the days before service as travel plans shift. The openings are brief, so a continuous watch with instant confirmation is the reliable way to land a prime night.
