Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We’ve been to Public Markets all over the world, and the concept is good. The Oxbow one is just too pricey and crowded for me. People were walking around with food trying to a place to sit and eat - seems they crammed as many vendors as they could into the building. Still, you have a good selection of food, and it is interesting to walk around. Plenty of parking, and maybe 3-4 block walk to downtown.

I love going to markets because that means I can try a lot of different foods that that particular city has to offer. We did visit Oxbow after a big lunch so we weren't planning to eat there, but that wasn't a big issue since it didn't seem like there were a lot of different food offerings anyway. It was mostly wine, cheese, and souvenir shops. We did get to try Hog Island Oysters, and I would have loved to try the brewery too if we weren't stuffed. So if you have time to kill, come to Oxbow. Otherwise, don't go out of your way.
Tip - there is a (paid?) parking lot but it looked pretty full for a Friday afternoon.

Stopped at Oxbow on our first day and overall it was a good experience. There are a lot of options and great food selections. I would recommend going early. We stopped by around 1:30 pm and it was packed so you couldn’t really take your time to look around. It’s a great first stop when visiting downtown Napa.

This is a nice market but it’s not very big and unless you plan to eat at one of the restaurants you won’t need too much time to see and shop there. We were expecting a much bigger market with more shops and vendors (for example something more like the Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia). We browsed the entire market in about 20 minutes. There were a number of restaurants that looked good and we did eat the the Gott Roadside restaurant which was tasty. I wouldn’t dissuade anyone from visiting, especially if you plan to eat lunch while you’re at the market, but know that shopping the market won’t take long if you have this on your list of “must do’s” while you’re visiting Napa.

Me and my wife decided to stop here for breakfast on our drive from SF to Redding. Very clean place and a nice variety of shops. We went early in the morning so it was not crowded. Lots of parking. Took like half an hour to look around and then we ate at C Casa and it was delicious.

Only wish it was bigger. There were more restaurants than market type shops. But if you’re looking for a bite to eat with lots of different local options it’s the place to go! We got a charcuterie board from Oxbow Wine and Cheese which was a great value for the price. We stopped for a cupcake and did a tasting at the distillery as well. Great stop in the mid afternoon to try market goods from local vendors.

It's not a bad idea for lunch when you have multiple people in your group and you just want to eat quick and you all have different tastes. It's just very loud and not a lot of space to sit and it's very crowded it's just ok I have been several times and would still come again. it's hard to gauge lunchtime on a day of wine tasting so lunch time reservations is hard so quick nd at the Oxbow is usually how I roll.

Oxbow Market is the perfect place to go when everyone wants to eat something different and you also need to do some grocery shopping. On this visit we landed on bagel sandwiches and latkes from Loveski. There's quite a variety of prepared foods, ingredients, and gift items all under one roof. The items you will find here are not ones you will find in a typical grocery store chain.

This is a rather trendy indoor food hall and shopping area located at a bow curve along the Napa River. The interior is made up of individual shops of which several are satellites of larger entities located elsewhere in the Bay Area. Casual atmosphere. Coffee, tacos, pizza, oysters, baked goods, wine, and milk shakes all available. But not much in the way of fresh fruits and vegetables. This marketplace can make for a good lunch stop while you tour the valley's wineries. Parking across the way.

Can't take your pooch inside the market. but we grabbed one of the outside tables (quite a few on the back side by the trail) and ate outside while Roxy hung out under the table. Several others with dogs were there.

Hi. How many seats are available in the public seating areas at Oxbow Market? I want to bring a group of 15 for lunch but not sure if we'll find a place to sit. Please advise. Thank you!
Written 8 March 2017
The seating is first come first served...there are not usually huge groups, however, you are free to eat out on the patio by the river and pull tables together.
