- AAmberVIPWashington, D.C. Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoSuch a lovely welcome dinner for our first night in Napa. I highly recommend the braised pork belly and the beet salad for appetizers, and the cassoulet and steak-frite for the main course. I didn’t care much for the chocolate cake—I found it a bit dry, but based on the rest of the incredible food we enjoyed, I’m more than happy to come back and try their other desserts. Come eat here for your first night in this beautiful town!More infoGrace's TablePrice: Moderate• American• Napa•4.6
- IIsabelSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoI stayed at the hotel and had my Birthday lunch with my family. The Burrata is divine and a must-order. They have a great selection of main dishes, with a wonderful alternative dessert option of cheeses. With many drink choices, my favorite was the Pommery from Champagne, France. Aside from the wonderful food and drinks, we sat outside on the balcony which had heat lamps for the winter chill, and a quiet but musical ambiance. Staff service was 10/10 with attention, knowledge, and interactions. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking to elevate a special night out into an experience to remember.More infoThe Restaurant at Auberge du SoleilPrice: Very Expensive• French• Rutherford•4.8
- RRoxanaVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •22 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe arrived early for our reservation, which was no problem, and were offered to try the enclosed, outdoor, heated patio. It was beautiful with warm lighting and not a hint of the December chill outside. My daughter and I shared the fig/arugula salad, duck confit and flounder. We expected two tiny duck legs but they were leg quarters with more meat than we could eat due to the duck’s richness. A good sharing dish because of that. The salted fig carmel trifle is a must if you’re a chocolate mousse fan. The Puebla de Sonoma cocktail was good but if you don’t care for a sweet drink, ask for less agave. I was worried about spiciness and asked for less heat but the regular amount would have been fine and actually better. Our server was attentive and friendly and the entire staff was on top of things. Our water never got below half and empty dishes were swept away quickly, but not in a rushed, hurry up way. My receipt says my server was ‘August’s A’ and she was wonderful.More infothe girl & the fig - SonomaPrice: Expensive• French• Sonoma•4.8
- CCharmaineVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined on 16 Dec 2024Having lived in Sonoma County for 34 years and now the concierge at Hotel Healdsburg, my visit to Bistro Jeanty was LONG OVERDUE. What a wonderful, delicious surprise to have enjoyed Christmas lunch with my Mom. The rainy weather was the perfect setting to enjoy all our french favorites - Crême de Tomate en Croute, Soupe a l’Oignon and our very favorite Boeuf Bourguignon. Thank you, thank you thank you for a memorable meal - We absolutely will be back. - Merci beaucoupMore infoBistro JeantyPrice: Expensive• French• Yountville•4.8
- AAngieSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined on 11 Dec 2024This was a cozy and romantic outdoor dining experience. We went on a Tuesday night which made for a quiet, seemingly private experience. There were some guests who curiously looked and one couple stopped to ask about the food. The ski chalets are decorated super cute and can fit many people at the one table. It was adorned with furry blankets both to sit on and to throw over you along with cushy pillows. There was also a tall standing heater and a fire pit so it’s definitely warm enough. Our servers were very attentive and both food and drinks came out in a timely manner. The holidays cocktails were well balanced. We also chose the cheese fondue which came loaded with a plate of vegetables to dip. My favorite was the broccoli and potato. We also splurged and got the chocolate fondue for dessert. Again, very flavorful but less fruit than the vegetable plate. Both were priced at $35 each. Drinks were in the $20-$27 range which is steep but normal for a Fairmont. The grounds are lit up for Christmas with music playing as well. It was a very pleasurable Happy Hour experience and we’d definitely go back for this or the dinner experience. One thing to know is to check the restaurant days/hours in advance. You’ll need to know to check in at the bar if you go on a day the restaurant is closed.More infoSanté at Fairmont Sonoma Mission InnPrice: Moderate• French• Sonoma•4.5
