Visiting from Chicago, we stumbled upon Evangeline and had a wonderful experience. We split a seasonal pear salad and a seared tuna with green papaya and mango with rice noodles accompanied by a lovely French Chenin blanc with a pot de crème caramel to finish things off. The setting was superb, the vibe was sublime, and we left with smiles on our faces and joy in our hearts.

Came here with three others. My pork tenderloin dish was excellent. Friends got the étouffée, bouillabaisse, sesame crusted ahi, autumn pear salad (very good) and they were all pleased, but I seemed to enjoy my pork the most. We split one choc lava cake for dessert. Service was friendly, slow waiting for the dessert, but otherwise timely. A solid place to dine; I’ll be back again for another go at the pork tenderloin…

Definitely wouldn't recommend it. It is over priced for mediocre food & service. The Rissoto was a cheesy rice sludge that I couldn't even eat. The Etouffee was some scampi, didn't resemble etouffee at all. Our Sangria cocktails were tasteless & the 2 of us who ordered that had to send them back. In that price range, we expected service, not just food delivery to our table. It worked out to be about $60 (all inclusive) for a drink & a main! This would have been a normal price if the food & service had been good.

Bouillabaisse was exquisite. Generous with huge crab leg, tasty shrimp, and much more broth seemed to also have some cream. I'd give it five stars. Bread pudding was disappointing. I'd asked the server what he thought of it, and he said it was very good, very moist. So we ordered it. Not moist, however; more like a coffee cake. Only the accompanying vanilla ice cream made mouthfuls of the bread pudding moist enough to eat. Service was nice throughout. A nearby table of five was very loud; I figure room acoustics didn't help.

Excellently prepared food, beautiful presentation, and service by Raul was impeccable! Put this on your list of not to be missed restaurants in the Napa valley.

Food was good but unremarkable. Solid place but it seemed like it could be so more. The atmosphere and outdoor location are great.

Our short ribs were very good and melt in your mouth. The dinner rolls weren't very good. They were practically tasteless. Our waiter was very attentive. The atmosphere was like a New Orleans cafe. Very nice.

The visit got off to a good start. The servers were very attentive and informative. We receiver our orders in a timely manner. The food was very good with one glitch. My wife ordered the Whole roasted Branzino with ratatouille. The fish was very good until she got to the ratatouille -it was cold. We told the server and it was immediately correct. Other than that, it was a good evening.

We had a delightful time. The waiter was pleasant, engaging and professional. A pleasant experience.
Wait staff were great. Low key but very attentive and helpful. Food was delicious. I had the Shrimp Etoufee and my wife had the bolagnase. Good beer and wine selection as well as cocktails.

Oh my gosh... Probably the most quaint place we ate in Calistoga! Such a great atmosphere and the food was incredible!!! The service was so friendly that we felt like family and although we had intended to come back the next day plans got in our way... It was our loss for sure!

Staff was great! Owner was friendly and the wine steward. We had the burger (yes, the burger was great) and the bouillabaisse. Highly recommend.

Food was mediocre, service good but waiting for food was too long. Ok but not too exciting.
