“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.“

“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.“

“Cameron was an excellent server!! Food was excellent and ambiance was terrific. Had the wagyu steak which was yummy and the trout was great. French fries were the best. Will definitely be back. Only thing I would improve is the amuse bouche (sorry I didn't like it because it was too dry).“

“The French Laundry is an exceptional dining experience with beautifully presented dishes and outstanding service. The tasting menu highlights fresh, seasonal ingredients and the flavors are creative and memorable. The setting in Napa Valley adds to the charm, making it perfect for a special night out.

My only reason for not giving a full 5 stars is that some courses felt a bit more experimental than I expected, but overall the experience was excellent and well worth it. The staff were knowledgeable, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the evening.“
