    This is such a special place. The view is amazing and we love visiting. I wish the lunch menu had a few more items.

    I had been wanting to come here for years and finally made the trip! It was an absolutely fabulous meal and beautiful day. Our server was wonderful and very knowledgeable about food and wine. We had a great time and can’t wait to go back!

    Lunch on the patio overlooking the valley can’t be beat. Exceptional food and service but it doesn’t come cheap.

    We’ve been coming for over 25 years to the Restaurant and the Bar at Auberge. We got married there. Both entrees were super disappointing and no one in the restaurant could find their servers. It was surreal given it was Auberge. We will never go to the Bar for food again.

    We had dinner outdoors on the patio. My husband ordered the burger w bacon and blue cheese- delicious but very salty - most likely due to his choices of blue cheese and bacon. I ordered the Mediterranean bass which was excellent. It was cooked in butter - lightly fried - not what I expected but still excellent. Views are incredible

    Been going to Auberge Bar and Restaurant for the past 25 years. We have always said it was the best places to go for lunch for years. But today was very disappointing. Loud group near our table most of the tables near the rail had sun shining on one of the chairs. The food, was, well not very good. The prices over the years got higher and higher, not worth the food that was offered. Well sorry to say will never go back for lunch again. Mr. Ramos

    Shared a burger and fries with my husband for a lunch stop . What a beautiful view from the balcony table! Even the pickle was one of the best we’ve had in a long time! Juicy burger and tasty perfectly salted Frites! Will be back when we return next!

    We booked our reservation at the bar at ADS through an "itinerary designer" at Solage, where my husband I stayed at over the weekend to celebrate our marriage. We planned well in advance, and I was specific in getting a table with a prime view. We were sat outside in the back towards the door by the bar inside, and two walk-ins received tables with a better view. The food was okay, nothing to rave about. You really come here for the view and nothing much else. The staff was friendly, but too friendly where they got happy. For the bill we got, we wouldn't think of going back. I've been to ADS before for lunch, and was disappointed in this experience, especially when we were celebrating.

    Made a reservation weeks in advance. Ww arrived 10 minutes early. Maitre de gives us a terrible table on the deck. I asked about others that were open. She said they are for earlier reservations but would inquire. After an embarrassing wait she says she can move us and then decides to and overly large table but then moves us again when a larger walk in party arrives. After the seating fiasco we wait at least 15 minutes with no server and have to ask one of the servers if they could take our order. She at least tried to be helpful. Food was mediocre at best. Never going back. Sad because we had a good experience there before.
