    My husband and I went to Napa for the weekend just to get away and we wanted to go to a nice brunch and stumbled upon this place. It is a Michelin three key hotel and also a one star Michelin restaurant. We arrived about a half hour early and were able to sit at the bar and have a couple drinks and then the weather cleared up so we're able to sit on the patio and the views were awesome. There were many people that were bussing tables and serving and they were all very nice. You get to choose one drink one appetizer, one entrée and one dessert for the brunch. You can also order additional drinks if you want that, but that is all included in the price. We loved all of the food that we got, and they were not stingy with their portions and we were full after we were finished eating. If you're looking for a place that has a great brunch menu and also amazing views, I would not skip this place. They also have complementary valet for the restaurant and if you do not have cash, they do take Venmo if you would like to tip them at the end.

    The service provided by Orlando was excellent, but the kitchen ignored a dietary request from our dining companion that she was told could be accommodated. As she sat without food while the rest of our party was eating, the staff was kind enough to bring her 2 complimentary appetizers. Unfortunately, both of these appetizers included the spice that she was avoiding, so I ended up splitting my entree with her as the rest of the party was done eating by the time her entree arrived. The fish entree was quite good, the salad was okay - nothing was very memorable. Perhaps it was an off day? I wouldn't return, but will still give 3 stars because the views are spectacular, the FOH staff was wonderful, and honestly, if I didn't go into it knowing that they had a Michelin star, my expectations would not have been so high.

    Dining at Auberge du Soleil is truly a quintessential Napa Valley experience. Yes, it's expensive--but it absolutely delivers in every way that counts: exceptional food, impeccable service, and arguably the best view in the valley. Whether you're celebrating something special or simply treating yourself, it's worth every penny. The food and drinks are expertly executed, with a menu that balances sophistication and comfort. One of the surprising standouts is the margarita pizza--simple, yes, but absolutely perfect. The crust is thin and crisp, the sauce bright, and the cheese just right. It's a great example of how even the most humble dish can feel elevated in the right hands. Other favorites include the duck mousse, rich and silky, and the calamari, which is perfectly crisp and tender without being greasy. The burger is another unexpected star--high-end and elevated, with premium ingredients and attention to every detail. It's far from your average burger. The pasta selection shines, especially in the summer months, when it's often paired with fresh seasonal vegetables that highlight the best of California produce. Seafood lovers have plenty to enjoy here as well. The fish of the day is always cooked to perfection, and the seafood tower is a showstopper, both visually and in flavor--packed with ultra-fresh oysters, prawns, crab, and more. And don't skip the Niçoise salad--Auberge makes one of the best versions anywhere, beautifully composed and bursting with flavor. Service is always top-tier--professional, warm, and incredibly attentive without ever being intrusive. The staff clearly knows the menu inside and out and goes out of their way to make sure your experience is seamless. The setting? Absolutely stunning. Whether you're on the terrace with panoramic views of the valley or seated indoors with floor-to-ceiling windows, the atmosphere is serene and luxurious. While valet parking is complimentary, it's always a good idea to have a little cash on hand to tip the valet staff, who are courteous, efficient, and a key part of the smooth Auberge experience. In short, Auberge du Soleil is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy the best of Napa--beautifully prepared food, excellent wines and cocktails, flawless service, and views that make you stop and take it all in. It's a splurge, but one you'll remember. I take all my dates (friends) there.

    AUBERGE TORTE AU CHOCOLAT with double scoop ice cream

    We heard this was one of the most beautiful restaurants in California so made sure to reserve a table in advance for our trip. The view was gorgeous but we were disappointed they did not seat us on the edge of the terrace even though tables were available-- we asked to be shifted, especially given how far we had traveled, and the waitress told us everyone travels far to get there so nothing she can do. She then proceeded to forget our Mains which after waiting so long we cancelled and said to just bring us dessert. They comped the dessert.

    Nice balcony view although it was a bit windy the day we went. We initially had a 2:30 reservation but I called the day before and they were able to give me 12pm slot which was perfect

    Smoked Salmon Tartine
    Sherry C.

    FYI: don't get this confused with "The Restaurant at Auberge du Soleil." Same location, different menu. when booking on their website, this is under "The Bar." WHAT WE GOT: roasted bone marrow, smoked salmon tartine, housemade campanelle, fleur de lis (drink) PROS: god the ambiance of this place is immaculate. relaxing with a touch of boujee. the balcony where the outdoor seating is overlooks a gorgeous view of the valley so definitely try to go on a day with cooperative weather. the food was also delicious. the smoked salmon tartine tasted fresh and the roasted bone marrow was basically a creamy umami bomb. the pasta dish honestly was a bit lackluster after the gloriousness of those two appetizers but it was still good. The bits of the summer squash and corn were my favorite and much needed to cut through the creaminess of the pasta a bit. Our waiter was also very attentive and updated us on the status of our order if anything was taking a little long. CONS: absolutely nothing. Great experience overall!

    A treat for my wife's birthday

    We've visited multiple times over the years. This was our first post-Covid dinner and apparently I assumed things hadn't changed - wrong! Prior to Covid, you could sit in the bar or Bistro and select from the Bistro or Restaurant menu. That is no longer the case. Would have been nice to know that in advance as the Bistro menu is limited. This was supposed to be a birthday dinner and turned into tapas. The service is always on point and we ordered a bottle of terrific Rose, and brought our own bottle. Corkage is $40, but is waived if you purchase a bottle off the wine list. The setting is fantastic and the views into the valley are breathtaking. So just make sure you understand the difference between the two sides of the "restaurant" before making your reservation.

    The food, service and views here were amazing. The only thing that wasn't quite 5 stars was the odd interaction with the valet. I guess they don't get many people that show up in Prius, but that how we are getting around this trip! Anyway, valet aside, everything else was definitely 5 stars. Our server was very helpful and friendly. The flatbread appetizer was delicious! Probably the best flatbread we have ever eaten. My fish of the day was perfectly cooked and seasoned and my wife loved every bite of her steak. The view on the deck was gorgeous!

    Unfortunately wasn't on my game to book the restaurant in time, but the Bistro is the next best thing. Amazing view overlooking the vineyard with a somewhat-but-not-too-limited menu. The veggies are clearly fresh and the seared yellowfin one of the best I've had. Valet parking only.

    Daw M.

    Thank you for a wonderful experience! Amazing service coupled with amazing food and an unbeatable view. Nothing more to say! Just come and experience the intimate and amazing food and service.

    Fish of the day (salmon on bed of spinach and wild rice)
    Gina L.

    Beautiful place and atmosphere. Came here for dinner and drinks during the sunset. Complimentary valet and all around very friendly staff. Ordered the pizza to start, then the fish of the day (salmon) and house made campanelle. Everything tasted ok, but the campanelle came out very under-cooked. Our waiter graciously offered us to choose something else from the menu and they'd nix the pasta off the bill. However, we opted to stay with the pasta - they nuked it in the microwave for a little and called it a day. Reservations are a must, preferably prior sunset so you can admire the view of the valley . The food is just ok, but the views make up for the grub.

    Off of Silverado trail, This resort is slightly off the beaten path. During the Covid crisis its Michelin rated restaurant is closed but thankfully the patio Bistro remains open. This review was for a Sunday lunch. Valet parking only, they prob didn't want my Subaru bumping into one of those fancy Ferrari or Porsche. The rock scissor & paper statue at the entrance was interesting. Check-in was fast & friendly. We were quickly whisked outside onto the famous patio. It was smaller than I expected but the view was impressive nontheless. It reminds me of the view at Sterling Vineyards, minus the aerial tram experience. As long as you are mentally prepared for over priced & over-hyped dining you will find the experience more enjoyable. The staff were couteous & attentive. Plates & silverwares were frequently changed & waters refilled without any prompting. The melon soup with lobster was interesting & might not be for everyone. Imagine someone threw a few pieces of lobsters into your fruit smoothie. It was relatively light, not as creamy & heavy compared to other soups, fitting for July 4th weather. The Auberge burger was the star of the show. The beef patty was juicy, smokey & fluffy, sandwiched between perfectly made house french bread that were light & airy. It was one of the rare occasions when I did not contaminate my burger with any sauce. I slowly savored its intrinsic flavors with juices dribbling down my face. A piece of tomato & lettuce was all that was needed. The fries were okay. The campanelle pasta was a mixed experience. We loved the sauce, sausage, red peppers & sun dried tomatoes. The pasta itself was a bit too tough though, keep in mind we generally prefer al dente pasta. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience. Tis definitely a place to impress your partner, family or visting dignitaries.

    Ada H.

    They don't allow dogs even on the patio. So my husband had to stay outside with our dog and couldn't be at the dining area. It's definitely a lot smaller than the photo but the food is fairly tasty Oysters were really fresh. The beef tartar were yummy yet slightly salty. The pasta dish is tiny bid overcooked but the flavor is there. Best dish is probably the grilled fish. It's tender inside.

    Our delicious dessert.

    I had lunch at Auberge du Soleil recently, and the experience was honestly a pleasant surprise…read more Many people think of this place mainly as a luxury resort or assume the restaurant is extremely expensive, but if you go for lunch, the value is actually much better than expected. It's also a nice way to experience a Michelin one-star restaurant without committing to a full dinner. The biggest highlight here is really the view. If possible, try to reserve a seat on the outdoor terrace. From there you get a direct panoramic view over Napa Valley. On a nice day, sitting outside with the sun, vineyards, and rolling hills in front of you feels incredibly relaxing. Even just slowly enjoying lunch while looking out over the valley already makes the experience worthwhile. As for the food, it's very much in line with what you'd expect from a Michelin one-star restaurant. The presentation is elegant and the flavors are refined. It's not heavy or overly bold; instead, the dishes focus more on balance and highlighting the quality of the ingredients. Nothing felt overly flashy, but the execution across the board was very solid and well thought out. The lunch prix fixe is especially worth considering. Compared to dinner, the price is much more reasonable while still giving you a good sense of the restaurant's cooking style and overall quality. If you're already planning a trip to Napa Valley, stopping here for lunch can make the whole outing feel a bit more special. Service was also excellent--professional but not overly formal. The pacing of the meal felt comfortable, never rushed but also not slow. Overall, this place is really about the combination of food and scenery. The dishes alone might not be the most mind-blowing in Napa, but when you add the terrace view overlooking the valley, the whole experience becomes memorable. If you want a relaxed way to try a Michelin one-star restaurant without the full dinner price tag, lunch here is a great option.

From valet parking to tea and latte towards the end of the meal, this experience was one of a kind! This place had all the charm of a beautiful restaurant nestled in a beautiful place in Europe. Napa's beauty shines through when it pours and the restaurant at Auberge du Soleil just adds more charm to it's beauty. I could not get enough of their bloody mary and kept it coming. Please note that only one drink is included in the brunch so anything extra or off the brunch menu would be changeable. Aurko opted for their grapefruit mimosa and loved it too! The housemade pastries, artisinal bread and muffins were included in the sunday brunch and on the house. We definitely asked them to fill up the basket the second time as the lemon curd and blueberry muffins were out of this world! To begin with, we both opted for the oysters. 6 oysters per person served with ginger mignonette- the perfect starter. We love fresh oysters and they were perfect. We also asked for an ala carte menu to order some more items and ordered 6 more oysters for the table. We also ordered some fried crispy calamari. It was plentiful and delicious. Very light batter and exceptional flavor! For the mains, my husband opted for the seared yellowfin tuna and I chose the sonoma chicken. Our entrees were amazing! The sides were delicious! We both chose housemade malekula island vanuatu chocolate creameux and it was FANTASTIC! The passionfruit puree and the muscovado ice cream brought all the flavors together in a medley of sweet symphony in my mouth! We both ordered tea and latte (not included in the brunch) and they were both delicious. Aurko ordered the barley tea and my latte was just perfect! My goodness this was a BEAUTIFUL experience! We had asked for a window seat but we were seated by the fireplace and it was just amazing! The view was better from sitting a little back. Front row seat and you first look at the spots on the glass and then the view tbh. This was an experience I would go for again. We were treated with love and kindness and we were given exceptionally good service. The head server was John or Jake. I'm sorry I don't remember his name but he was very very sweet. He's the one who first greeted the guests on every table and gave them menus. He was knowledgeable and amazing! I cannot wait to come back with my love and enjoy beautiful Napa from the eyes of the restaurant at Auberge du Soleil

While working in St. Helena, I could never find an opening in a reservation, so here was a great opportunity now that all of us are retired.

From the beginning, there seemed to be constant miscommunication between staff. We specifically booked an outdoor reservation and were seated inside instead. While mistakes happen, it set the tone for the rest of the evening. The bigger issue involved the wine and corkage fee. We purchased a bottle directly from the market associated with the restaurant and were told by the employee there that the corkage fee would be waived if we bought their wine. When we sat down, our server Sara told us that was not true and that we would still have to pay the fee. I explained what we had been told, and when she asked if I wanted a manager involved, I said yes. Before the manager even arrived or clarified the situation, the server opened our bottle of wine. In the silence and confusion, I reasonably assumed the fee issue had been resolved. Then the manager came over and told us we would still be charged and implied that nobody at the market would have told us otherwise. The way it was handled made my husband and I feel like we were being accused of making the whole thing up, which was especially upsetting on Mother's Day. At that point, the bottle was already opened, so we were essentially stuck paying the fee regardless. Between being seated incorrectly, the poor communication between employees, and how dismissive the situation felt, the service completely overshadowed what should have been a special meal. The rest of the service we felt ignored and there was minimal effort to accommodate. Great food alone is not enough to justify returning when the hospitality experience feels this frustrating and unprofessional.

When we arrived the restaurant was packed, but we were got a very friendly greeting and were seated immediately. Our waitress, Brook, was really friendly and professional. The wait worked togethrr as a team and even the manager helped out with bussing tables-true professionals! As we had a reservation for dinner at Bouchon, we wanted something smaller so my wife and I got the house salad and the cup of chili. The salad was a good portion and loaded with toppings including hard boiled egg, homemade croutons, cheese, etc. And dressed just right. The "cup" of chili was a good sized bowl. It was the best chili I've ever had in a restaurant! Plenty of beef with a mix of cubed (chili cut) and ground beef. The spice level was just right, no added hot sauce needed, topped with cheddar and raw onion. My wife couldn't finish hers, but after finishing mine, as much as I wanted to I couldn't either! This may be a long review for salad and chili but the service made Rutherford Grill one of our best meals in Napa. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.

    If you're looking for that quintessential, old-school Napa vibe without the stiff "tasting-menu"…read moretheater, **Rutherford Grill** remains the undisputed king of the crossroads. It's the kind of place where you'll see local winemakers at the island bar, rubbing elbows with visitors who know exactly where to find the best seat in the valley. ### **The Atmosphere & Service** The energy here is high but perfectly balanced by a gracious, attentive staff. The service strikes that rare "appropriate formality" note--polished and professional, yet comfortable enough that you don't feel like you're on display. It feels established, reliable, and deeply rooted in the region's history. ### **The Wine List** As expected for its location, the wine list is an extensive collection of Napa favorites. Whether you're looking for a legendary Rutherford Bench Cabernet or a crisp local Sauvignon Blanc, the selection is curated to complement the bold, wood-fired flavors coming out of the display kitchen. ### **The Food** The menu focuses on American grill classics executed with uncompromising consistency. * **Starters:** If they are in season, the **Grilled Artichokes** are mandatory. Halved and charred to perfection with just the right amount of seasoning, they are arguably the best in Northern California. The **Deviled Eggs** are another staple--creamy, classic, and the perfect opening act. * **The Main Event:** You can't go wrong with the **Cheeseburger**. It's a masterclass in simplicity: fresh ground chuck, melted cheddar, and a toasted house-made egg bun. * **The Curveball:** The **Enchiladas** (often served as a butternut squash and white cheddar version or paired with tri-tip) are a sophisticated take on comfort food, offering a rich, savory depth that pairs surprisingly well with a heavy Napa red. **Verdict:** Whether it's a business lunch or a post-tasting dinner, Rutherford Grill delivers a high-quality, soulful experience that never goes out of style.

We had reservations for 11AM, by the time it was 11:30AM, about 85% of the restaurant was filled. By noon? All the tables were taken! Come early, get seated, relax. Service: We had the privilege of having Dwight be our server this afternoon. He was an absolute gem who loves his job, and loves what he does. He explained to us the specials, and some of the dishes he liked; he was a big help! We settled on a few things: the chicken wings (a MUST-HAVE; they are smoked first --- then fried; then tossed in a bit of a sweet seasoning --- it hits all the taste buds!). We also got the sweet potatoes --- good, nothing to write mom about. In addition, I had to get the famous Mongolian Porkchops. Dwight suggested to get it medium (I was a bit apprehensive --- it is pork), but always "trust the chef". So I did. My meal was EXCELLENT. The porkchop was perfectly grilled with some charred bits, and the meat was tender and juicy. Thank you Dwight for your suggestion! All-in-all, Mustards Grill is a MUST if you're ever staying in the Napa Valley. They received a Michelin Star in 2025, and if you try their food, you can clearly see why. After your finished with your meal, step outside and make a right --- and take some photos next to the vineyard. You are in Napa after all!

    Best food we have had in Napa/Sonoma County since my mom moved here. My family is really glad we…read morefound this place. We went for dinner on my last night visiting my mom. We were able to book on OpenTable just a few days before, which made making the reservation easy. Upon entering, the restaurant was full and had a classic bistro vibe. Everyone was dressed nicely but not too fancy. You definitely want to wear a nice shirt and dress up a bit if you are coming here for dinner. We were seated at a round table, which provided plenty of space to talk and enjoy our meal. As a starter, we ordered the onion rings. They were fantastic! Perfectly seasoned, and the homemade ketchup was delightful. The portion was large, but we had no problem finishing them because they were excellent. I had the veggie tostada. It had a good spicy kick that I really enjoyed. I am not sure if it was the salsa or the California chilies (red jalapeños) that gave it that heat. My sister had the famous pork chop and said it was the best she had ever had. My mom had the lamb, and she said it was divine. She also got some mashed potatoes to share, and the garlic flavor and texture were both delicious. We ordered two desserts and coffee to finish the meal. The lemon tart was fantastic! I have not had meringue this good since I was in French culinary school. I would come here for this tart alone. The coffee was a delicious close to the meal along with the dessert. We will most definitely be back to bring my husband and enjoy more family meals together. Thank you to our server and the hostess for being so accommodating and for providing us with excellent service.

    We arranged a 14-person dinner via email, and the process was seamless from start to finish. Our…read moreserver did an excellent job keeping up with our large group while matching our energy and vibe, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The prix fixe menu is $69 and includes their signature fried chicken along with appetizers and sides. They also offer daily add-ons, and since we arrived starving, we couldn't resist ordering a few extras. Portions are very generous--so much so that we ended up with plenty of leftovers (which definitely came in clutch later that night!). I'm not exaggerating when I say Thomas Keller and his team truly deliver. The fried chicken was hands down the best I've ever had--perfectly juicy on the inside with an incredibly crispy, flavorful crust. The house-made chips with sour cream dip were absolutely addictive.

    We came specifically for their burger at the bar, (not on menu) but unfortunately we came on a…read moreFriday when the shipment of the meat had not arrived in time. It was a letdown since we came for hubby's birthday and had been wanting to try it for over a year since the last time we were here. Guess we'll have to try again another time. We still decided to sit at the bar. You can either order à la carte from that day's offerings or do the set menu. Thanks to the group next to us, we found out you can also order just the sides if you don't want the main. The main that day was a pork dish with a jalapeno cheddar polenta, but we skipped it since we thought you had to order the whole thing and were already getting the fried chicken add-on. Luckily, we were able to order just the jalapeño cheddar polenta side which was very delicious. Sadly, I think we've officially given up on the fried chicken. I really wanted to like it since everyone seems to rave about it, but it just wasn't for me. The coating was beautifully crisp, but overall it tasted pretty bland and lacked flavor. The hot sauce bottles definitely helped and kind of saved it. The bartender brought out bottles for everyone. Interestingly, the last time we tried the fried chicken (a few years ago), we weren't offered hot sauce at all. The bartender mentioned they've always had it, which makes me think our server back then just didn't bring it out. I remember that visit too, we came for a Friday lunch, sat on the patio (we were the only ones out there), and still weren't offered any. The chicken was also bland back then. That said, the bartender was a nice kid, friendly and welcoming. He said normally he's a server but that day he was at the bar so I'll definitely look out for him again and request him. For drinks, I had a Diet Coke, which comes in a can. Since they're doing cans, I do wish they offered Coke Zero as well since I'm not really a Diet Coke person, but I also didn't want to just stick with water or iced tea with my meal. It was our first time sitting at the bar, and we really enjoyed the experience. I'd definitely sit at the bar again. Ordering à la carte also worked out better for us, especially since dessert that day was a chocolate mousse and I'm not a big chocolate dessert person. We still got one since it was hubby's birthday, and they brought it out with a candle, which was a cute touch. It was $10 and perfect to share, getting a second one just for me would've been a waste.

    Date of Visit: 3/28/2026…read more We visited The Forum at Meadowood Napa Valley for afternoon late lunch. Between the hours of 3 to 6pm, there was a Golden Hour menu that offers light foods, including vegetable tempura, burgers, poke etc. There are some selection of cocktails and wine with a discounted price. Schramsberg, Brut Rosé, North Coast 2021 $21 Husband got the Brut Rosé that was bubbly and refreshing. Rivers-Marie, Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast 2023 $20 I got the Chardonnay with the taste of zesty lemon and candied lemon peel. Walter Hansel "Cahill Lane," Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley 2022 $20 And we ordered the third glass of Pinot Noir to pair with foods. This tastes like a traditional Pinot Noir of California with the mushroom earthy smell and the shoe box aroma. Spring Vegetable Tempura $22 I ordered the spring vegetable tempuras made from Meadowood Farm vegetables, including asparagus, leek etc. On the side there were a bowl of English pea pesto. Forum Burger $23 Husband got the burger with medium grilled Akaushi beef, onion-bacon jam, cheddar cheese, secret sauce, brioche bun, and also French fries on the side.

    *Would only go back for wine & outdoor lounge space... not for the food…read more Pros: Wine selection was great! Ambiance was wonderful! Service was good, albeit slower. Outdoor space looks amazing & is pup-friendly. Cons: If you're hungry, eat before you go. Bring snacks for in-between courses. You might have to stop off to grab food on the way home. Thankful they kept bringing the yummy bread! Lacked course timing, underseasoned, pricey. $550 later, yet we left underwhelmed & unfulfilled. Our meal took over 3.5 hours... (details below)... there's a fine line between building anticipation/ "hunger sauce" & causing anxiety/ frustration. **Napa Restaurant Month** If you wanted a steak (ie. the "NY strip" offered as part of their limited-time prix fixe menu), this is probably not what you're looking for. Gray, gray, gray... no matter your temp preference, medium? Gray... Medium rare? Gray... Rare? Gray. Perhaps the sous vide method with added grill marks, but they should tell customers that since most folks are expecting a steak-like steak. Oh, and it's actually just 3 slices OF A steak (questionable if truly NY cut), barely room temperature, but tasted okay (needed a dash of seasoning). Our meal took 3.5 hours... mostly because the kitchen "timed" the courses 30+ minutes apart. Maybe they were going for dramatic effect, but there's a fine line between "hunger sauce" & frustration. None of the courses were so complicated to justify the wait AND the place was nearly empty. Our wine pairings were poured 10-15 minutes before each course, so we sat there trying not to drink the wine because we wanted to taste it WITH our food. We had a nice time with friends, but the timing was a bit strange. The food: Course 1 - Hamachi was really good! 3 slices with jalapeño crema, radish, cilantro, lime vinaigrette. Course 2 - Chicken tortilla soup. 4 spoonfuls of luke warm tomato soup poured over a few cubed morsels. This had the flavor of spaghettiOs. When I said it out loud to our table, everyone laughed & agreed... it was the taste they were all trying to peg. Course 3 - NY strip. 3 slices of almost-warm, gray meat with 3 potato slices, 2 carrot halves, sautéed Swiss chard, chimichurri. Veggies were tasty. Course 4 - (they ran out) so we got something from their regular menu. The sesame citrus gâteau was not my favorite. The cheesecake was so bitter, I took 2 bites & could not eat anymore. We also ordered for the table: -- Elotes (not very good, still on the cob,not worth the effort); -- Brussels sprouts (fresh, but undercooked & underseasoned); -- Mushrooms (naturally flavorful, but unseasoned); -- Their complimentary bread plate & olive oil was Yum!!
