LaGare is always a great go-to for a lovely evening. The service is impeccable. I like that soup and salad are included with the entrees. The escargot is delicious and a traditional appetizer for us, every time!

Lovely dinner to celebrate a birthday for 5 of us on prime rib night. Outstanding service even though it was very busy. Always a favorite place celebrate.

Nice, quaint French restaurant with traditional dishes and excellent service. The food from the duck to the steak to wellington is exceptional. Good wine selection. Meals include salad and soup so your belly is happy when you are done. The atmosphere is quaint and quiet so a nicely paced meal can be had without deafening noise or a rushed approach. Definitely something to try if you want a good meal and are in the downtown Santa Rosa area.

The reviews I read were positive so we booked this for our"nice" night out while we were visiting the area. We were very disappointed. None of us ate much on our plates. We had 2 steaks, which were not like a tenderloin you would get from the butcher or steak restaurant the chicken dish was fair and the breast portion of the duck l'orange was the only good part. The roasted potatoes lacked any seasoning. The French onion soup was the only highlight and enjoyed by those who ordered it, The stater vegetable soup of the day was good though not piping hot. The salads were good but overdressed. The corkage fee of $25 seemed very excessive.

This is a quaint restaurant in old downtown Santa Rosa. The food was very good and we enjoyed having both a soup and salad course before our entrees. We both had the salmon which was well prepared and tasty. They are also dog friendly and nicely accommodated us and our pup.

Myles, our server, was excellent, knowledgeable and entertaining. Our food was wonderful, the wine list excellent.

Outstanding restaurant! It's been around awhile as noted with the dated decor. Everything else is perfect. Our waiter was wonderful. Explained the food well and made nice recommendations. The food was excellent. The chef goes very light on the salt, so there is a saltshaker on the table. They even use unsalted butter. The portions are perfect especially for us seniors. The big surprise to us was that the meal included soup and salad. It's been a long time since we have seen that. Totally a great experience.

We had a wonderful Birthday party here. The staff was amazing. We had a great meal, great service and so much fun.

Great anniversary dinner, first time at LaGare! Escargots were good, rack of lamb and veal cordon bleu all excellent. Fun dessert with cherries jubilee!
We were in the alley—our first time there and we thought it would be pleasant. It wasn't. Chairs were uncomfortable, the ambiance was too much alley, not restaurant. It was cold and we didn't get a heater until halfway through because they were short on heaters. The service was very slow and one meal was more or less forgotten and came late. Chicken dishes ok but the guys with the steak au poivre didn't like the cuts of meat. We were hoping for a special night and were pretty disappointed.
Lisa
Very nice meal. Service was great other than not hearing about the specials until after we ordered. Food was very good. It was a nice experience for celebrating a birthday.

We enjoyed the delicious food and ambiance during our dinner at the outside patio. We recommend & will dine there again.

We love this place but this time the food wasn't up to the level that we have enjoyed in the past. Steak was overcooked and had to be returned and second steak was much better. Server was fantastic and I want to note how great he was in dealing with this and super friendly and courteous about the issue.

Upon arrival it was evident that this was the place for great food and merriment. They had a number of special rooms for groups (full) surrounding a central dining area, as well as quaint al fresco dining in their transformed alley. We opted for the quiet French alley (equipped with heaters). Our waiter, Jeff, was impeccable, courteous, friendly and attentive, and our food was delicious. I had the halibut special and my husband had the steak au poivre. Both meals came with a small soup and a salad. As we were there to celebrate my birthday I was presented with a decadent creme brulee for dessert which was divine. Thank you La Gare! We will definitely be back...especially if you have Blanquette de Veau on the menu!
