We were in town for a show and looked for something special. La Gare met and exceeded our expectations in all categories: food, service and atmosphere. In the pictures there’s the frog legs and the beef Wellington.

Went there for thanks giving dinner. They don't have regular menu. The thanks giving menu is pretty average. We also had to sit outside in dark because they don't have space inside. It also took forever for the food to be served. We waited 15 minutes just for the menu and then another 20 minutes for the first dish (pumpkin soup) to be served. We ordered salmon, turkey and steak. Only the turkey was good.

We went early on a weeknight to celebrate a birthday. When we arrived it was quiet, but we knew business would pick up as the evening went on - it did! But the noise level wasn't overwhelming. Our party ordered Prime Rib, Medalians of Beef, Salmon and a Veal dish. Dinner comes with soup and salad and this night's soup was a yummy corn chowder. The young man who was responsible for keeping our water glasses filled and our table clean was wonderful. He checked in with us several times and even engaged with us. Our server was effecient and obviously had worked here a long time because she didn't write down our order, she remembered everything and got it right! We topped off our dinner with a complimentary chocolate mouse for the birthday celebrant and a chocolate bomb for the rest of us to share. One note: Do not expect to rush in and rush out, La Gare is more of a slow pace establishment, with time in between courses, which gave us time to relax, visit with each other and enjoy our meal without being rushed out for the next party to be seated.

We go to La Gare every year to celebrate our wedding anniversary. As usual it was perfect. Our waiter, David, was outstanding. We always feel special when we're there.
Opentable Diner
Super friendly and efficient staff. Our server Amy was fantastic. A time warp walking in to the 1970's decor. Food was as nothing outstanding. Soup and salad included with entree (upcharge for onion soup) at a reasonable price. Overall good but nothing great. Second time visiting and no reason to return with so many other restaurants to visit.

Excellent as always. I make a yearly trip to Santa Rosa and a yearly trip to La Gare. Love this place. The food is always excellent.

We both enjoyed our food, especially the filet mignon with bearnaise sauce. The service was very attentive and efficient but not intrusive. The restaurant is very close to SMART which makes it convenient if one doesn't want to drive. It's very cozy and maybe a little bit dark inside. Even the bathroom was very dark, and I could not see my face in the mirror to refresh my lipstick after dinner. We both thought our table for two was very tiny but overall, a nice place for a special occasion.

Lighting needs improvement. Meals average. The Marco Polo chicken was over cooked . Salads had too much dressing. Calamari was tough. We have had much better meals there in the past. Busy Saturday night.
Beautiful experience ! Food was wonderful, cost was well in range for a gourmet French restaurant . Loved it ❤️

Food was all together on the same plate, everything tasted the same. Server did not talk and seemed hurried but did converse with us at end of our meal.

Authentic food. Best ambience. Beautiful vibe. Dog friendly. Super attentive service. This restaurant has it all!
La Gare is located on the historic railroad square. There are street parkings all around. We had no problem finding a spot within 2 minutes of walking away from the restaurant.
Our first impression was the red bricks exteriors of the building. And the outdoor seating area nestled in an alley between the 2 buildings, looking out to the street. One step inside and you’ll enter a quaint and warm place. The interior decoration reminded me of an older era.
We made a reservation online beforehand and highly recommend you doing so. The restaurant was packed for a Saturday night at 6pm. The reception staff quickly greeted us, complimented my puppy and took us to our outdoor table.
Wow! I couldn’t help but exclaimed! The outside area was beautifully decorated with stars and light strings. Our table was neatly set with a white table cloth on top and leaning against the red wall. Synthetic flowers were hung on the wall, creating an indoor outdoor feel which I love.
Our severe Myle was conscious and considerate to leave us enough time to decide on our dishes. He also gave Butter some treats and was so kind in general. He saw me wearing my Alma matter school Johns Hopkins sweater and sincerely congratulated me on my graduation :)
We ordered the escargot and crab cake for appetizers. For main entrees, we opted for veal in mustard sauces and lamb rack (medium cook).
The escargot was a BOMB of flavors and exquisiteness! We had to use a tool to maneuver the escargot out of its shelf but it was so worth it. The garlic butter sauce on the escargot enhanced its flavor and a great dipping sauce for the bread too 🤤
We were not that impressed with the crab cake as I had better crab cakes in Baltimore where my school was. But La Gare’s crab cakes were not bad at all imo.
Now, to main entrees. We had salads and soups complementary with every entree. My dish was lamb rack and my sister got her veal in mustard sauces. Both were tender, juicy, well cooked and a master piece of its own kind! I’m very picky and usually order lamb whenever I’ve been to a new restaurant. It’s the standard I judge the restaurant on and La Gare met it!
I really love the fact that La Gare’s dishes have just the right and elegant amount of flavors! Not too bold trying to impress you and not too bland leaving you wondering what you just ate. Just right! And very authentic and comparable with French cuisine I had in Paris :)
Great job La Gare’s! Thank you Myle and staff for giving my sister, Butter my puppy and me an unforgettable experience. We will come back for sure ☺️!

Brought here by a friend. Nice atmosphere, quiet. The leek soup was excellent as was our rack of lamb. Also included with the meal is a fresh delicious salad and warm bread. Free corkage on a monday night, so we had a great bottle brought by said friend. The restaurant is sort of a throwback to another era, and I say that completely as a compliment.
