French Restaurants near Yountville, CA

“Attention. To. Detail. Over the past couple of years I've heard my wife talk about wanting to go to The French Laundry, so this year I surprised her with a very early birthday surprise up in Napa! After coordinating with two other couples and booking reservations, I got an email asking for any special occasions or dietary restrictions. I informed them of the birthday celebration and the fact that we had someone who was gluten free. When we got there they knew our party and wished my wife a happy birthday and brought us to our seats. When we looked at the menu we all noticed that they printed "Happy Birthday (wife's name)" on the top of the menu, which we got to keep after the dinner. A few at our table got the wine pairings which are tailored to how much you'd like to spend and the sommelier did not miss. Each meal was an experience and at one point someone in our party was obsessed with how good the asparagus tasted. They also substituted every gluten item for our party member that was gluten free so they got to enjoy every course, which was a worry in the back of my mind that was put to ease. At the end they invited us down to the kitchen and we got to (briefly) see the chefs at work. Then at the end, each couple got their own menu, wine list of the pairings we had and some goodies for a late night or morning snack. My wife got her own happy birthday chocolate bar from Thomas Keller as well! This was all of our first times at The French Laundry and I don't believe it will be our last either. Amazing experience with great friends and we will be back!“

“A stunningly beautiful mothers day brunch! The presentation was wonderful and each course was absolutely delicious. Plus you can't beat the gorgeous view from the deck. We both had the peach bellinis and delta asparagus soup with crab. It has always been our favorite dish. I had the Iberian duroc pork chop and my mom had the lobster omlette. For dessert, I had the keylime cheesecake, and she had the strawberries with yogurt pannacotta. The service was exemplary. We had the perfect mothers day and left with fresh cut roses. I just love the attention to detail.I highly recommend Auberge du soleil for a spectacular dining experience.“

“This was the second time there. Fabulous place. Our waiter was so great. I had the lamb and my wife had the scallops. Two fantastic meals. For dessert we wanted two boxes of cookies and the milkshakes so our waiter fixed us up. When we go to Sonoma we always come to Girl and the Fig. Great location and wonderful staff. Couldn't have asked for the best way to end a day of wine tasking in Dry Creek.“

“Overall our experience was very nice. We came because it is a French restaurant and was looking forward to having Bœuf Bourguignon. But our server informed us that the chef decided to not have it on the menu that night. We almost walked out as that was the main reason we came. But we decided to stay and the service and our meal ended up being very nice. The roasted chicken was so juicy and tender so I highly recommend that.“

“We had the most wonderful dinner experience at La Toque. The food was exquisite - every dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. But it was the service that really made our meal outstanding.Our servers Maria and Samantha were so attentive and knowledgeable. They could clearly tell we were celebrating something special and really went above and beyond to make us feel cared for. Maria knew all the details about each dish and recommended perfect wine. They also had great suggestions based on our tastes.It was clear Maria and Samantha truly cared about giving us the best possible experience. They paid close attention to every detail, from refilling waters to clearing empty plates promptly. We felt like we were the only table in the whole restaurant! La Toque is clearly doing something right to have such engaged, passionate servers on their team.“
