“Bouchon Bistro will forever hold a special place in our hearts. My wife and I have been coming here for over 12 years, and it’s not only one of our all-time favorite restaurants; it’s a must every time we visit Napa. We’ve celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, our engagement, and soon we’ll be back in December for our babymoon.

The food is consistently exceptional. The roast chicken is the best we’ve ever had, the steak frites is divine, and the salade lyonnaise is indulgent perfection. You simply have to end the evening with the profiteroles and crème brûlée; it’s non-negotiable.

But what truly sets Bouchon apart is the team. The staff goes above and beyond to make every visit special. Their hospitality is world-class, and it’s clear they take immense pride in what they do.

Thank you, Bouchon, for being such an enduring part of our lives and memories. We can’t wait to be back soon.“

“Incredible experience! When we found out the restaurant had changed over from The Fig Cafe but was still under the same ownership, we had to try it. From the moment we walked in, Austin was providing unmatched service to compensate for a delay in our reservation. (As if we were going to get upset about waiting 15 minutes!). We ordered the gnocchi and the roasted chicken after we were given an amuse bouche and a glass of sparkling wine. The food was delectable and the service from all was unparalleled. We only half-jokingly asked Austin on the way out to hold our same table for the same time next year! We look forward to seeing him and our server Cameron and having the same exemplary experience upon our return.“

“Somebody seriously know how to cook at Bistro Jeanty. Food was delicious and served loveley. Special compliments to Alexis our waitress for taking care for us.“

“From the moment we walked through the doors of The French Laundry, the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Every detail—from the warm welcome at the beginning of the evening to the unforgettable kitchen tour at the end—was executed with a level of care, professionalism, and genuine hospitality that sets the gold standard for fine dining.\n\nThe entire team made us feel truly special. Every person who touched our table contributed to an experience that was seamless, thoughtful, and memorable. Service was attentive without ever feeling intrusive, and each interaction felt authentic and intentional.\n\nThe food itself was exceptional—beautifully prepared, perfectly paced, and full of flavor and creativity. Each course built upon the last, making the meal feel like a carefully composed journey rather than simply a dinner.\n\nI would especially like to give kudos to Brighton (I believe that was his name). His professionalism, knowledge, and warmth elevated the entire evening. He embodied what great hospitality should be and left a lasting impression on us.\n\nThe French Laundry is more than a restaurant—it is an experience. From beginning to end, it was flawless, memorable, and truly something we will never forget. We are grateful to the entire team for an evening that exceeded every expectation.\n\nHighly recommended, and very much worth the experience.“
