My fish was too salty, the service was lousy, the restaurant was noisy and smokey. Great wine list! I enjoyed the charcuterie app though.

Excellent food and amazing service. The black cod was to die for. Make sure to get the onion soup. The chocolate fondant dessert and salted caramel ice cream were delicious. As a person in a larger body I found the chairs comfortable but it was definitely packed full and I was relieved they seated us by the window so it felt like there was more space. The service was excellent and the staff were so nice. Thoughtful wine list at accessible prices. Highly recommend.

We recently celebrated a special occasion (neighbors night out) at Brigitte Bistro with a group of ten, and it was an absolute delight! The ambiance was charming, the service was impeccable, and the food was simply divine.
Our group sampled a variety of dishes, from the delicate steak tartare to the rich and savory wagyu steak frites. Each plate was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The wine list was extensive, offering a perfect pairing for every dish.
Our server was knowledgeable and attentive, guiding us through the menu and ensuring a seamless dining experience. Despite the large group, the service was efficient and friendly.
If you're looking for a memorable dining experience in Petaluma, Brigitte Bistro is a must-try. It's the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy a delicious meal with friends!
The owner, chef, somolier, and entire staff were warm, welcoming, attentive and clearly enjoyed being exactly where they were. It was a fully packed Friday night, with lively conversations at every table, but it didn't feel overly noisy. Our party sat at the 5-seat bar, because we added two people to the reservation on the busiest night of the week, and the staff did their best to accommodate. The food was delicious, with each person finishing their entree. Our party ordered the French beer, red and white wine, and everyone had more than one glass. The highlight of the entire meal was the laphroaig ice cream. Creamy, smoky with a dusting of salt, not sweet and beautifully paired with a pecan flan; It also went well with the chocolate dessert.

This is one of the most interesting and exciting epicurean delights in Sonoma County. When you arrive, you are greeted warmly by the owner, followed by close attention from the wait staff. The delightful menu features classical French cuisine with a Northern California flair. Bon Appetite. A real jewel in Sonoma County.

Five stars doesn’t do justice to this place. As we say in French “It’s so good it should be against the law”! The food was excellent. The staff creates a you’re a regular type of vibe.
Everything was excellent! There is nothing here you won’t enjoy. Live piano, service far above and beyond and incredible food. I highly recommend.

We love this restaurant. The service is fantastic, the wine selection is excellent, and the food is divine. Chef Nick is so warm hearted and welcoming, plus there is always something new and special on the menu. The chanterelle tart was fabulous last night.

Hope the 'word is out' on this place: WOW! The food is outstanding served by friendly, gentle, upbeat, and fun folks. It is a Bistro Experience made perfect in everyway; where guests share space with a spotless kitchen and food is prepared fresh for us to witness (the expertise, care, and talent). Please note- this dining experience is to be shared and I was so pleased to be invited and celebrate with friends at this restaurant. Hope to return again and bring new friends to this friendly place of local culinary talent. What a great team, and thanks for a good time! Bravo

Brigitte Bistro not only takes great pride in their delicious and authentic French fare, we felt as though this dining experience was a throwback to the pre pandemic era. Actual servers that not only bring food to your table, but joy as well. The owner Nick comes to chat and ensure you’re enjoying your meal. This is not a restaurant run by teenagers nor a numbered placard you display on your table for service. It felt like dining was before hospitality disintegrated into the partial service atmosphere we are confronted with more regularly. If you want to dine out versus eat out, choose here. You won’t regret your choice.
