Augie's French - The escargot were the highlight...as was my girlfriend. - French Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I love French food and I enjoyed majority of the food we ordered. My family ordered escargot & scallops for appetizers and they were delicious. The warm baguette dipped in the sauce of the scallop and escargot were beyond words. For entrees, we ordered poulet frites, beef cheek bourguignon, dover sole grenobloise, and prime burger royale. The dark meat of the poulet was delicious, the white meat was dry. Maybe next time we can ask for all dark meat. The beef cheek was very tender. My younger son thought it was the best burger he's ever eaten. It was very good. The only thing is the sole was not what we were expecting, it was very meaty/solid. Normally, sole breaks apart easily and very flaky. We would not order this again. For sides, we had frites, button mushrooms provencal & brussels sprouts gratin. We only liked the frites. If we are in Santa Rosa, we would definitely come back. The reason I didn't give a 5 star review is the handle on the brussels sprouts pan was very hot and the waiter didn't tell me it was hot. I touched the handle and burned my fingers severely to the point it blistered up. When I realized my fingers were burned, I asked the waiter for ice and he looked at me confused of why I was asking for ice. read more

Augie's has become one of my very top favorites for "Ladies Who Lunch". That's me and my friends. There is a back door which is most handy as there is a large parking lot. Inside,the booths are comfortable and one wall is papered in whimsical butterflies. We have always been treated like royalty by the staff. There was a new item on the appetizer menu. Artichokes. Not like any other artichoke you've ever had. It was an artichoke heart served on the stalk in a bowl of broth. That's a keeper! Both the chicken and steak au frites were just right. We decided to forego sweet desserts and went with the cheese board instead. Good choice. Three cheeses with honey, jam, nuts, and crackers. And then the espresso martini. What makes this martini superior is that they use brewed espresso, rather than a packaged mix. Yes, you can tell! Augie's is open for lunch and dinner with a newly opened Happy Hour. read more

Today was my first time visiting this establishment. First things first, It is a beautiful restaurant with a classy and comfortable atmosphere. My boyfriend and I were immediately welcomed and seated. We had a very knowledgeable server who told us about a few food items we ordered (it was our first time eating french food) and he explained in full detail . We both ordered escargot with garlic and butter as well as a beef cheek bourguignon and that was AMAZING. The beef melted in our mouth and the potatoes were so tasty! I highly recommend this restaurant if you're willing to try something new and be amazed with what you eat. read more

Looking for lunch post museum visiting my childhood hometown, we walked into this beautifully appointed restaurant, warmly welcomed by staff and guided to the lovely high top in the window overlooking 4th street and Courthouse square. We elected to each share a salad, and a lovely half baguette with savory salted butter arrived shortly after ordering. While we waited for our meal, we mourned how the now shuttered Left Bank in Larkspur used to be this way, and hoped that Augie's would also give serious attention to dishes while simple as salad are beautiful and as satisfying as mains and desserts. All expectations were met and then some with the carefully composed plates that arrived (see photos). I look forward to returning for a brunch or dinner, and will recommend to others out of the area that Augie's is worth a stop in Santa Rosa if one is coming or going. So delicious. read more

I've been wanting to come to Augie's for awhile, and finally made it out here. I generally like the Stark restaurants. There were some hits and some misses on my visit. Cozy decor and the restaurant is in the middle of all the downtown Santa Rosa action. The bread and butter were so good. And complimentary, which I feel is rare these days. Salade Lyonnaise was surprisingly good for this reluctant veggie eater. The bacon vinaigrette really gave it a meaty flavor. I wanted to try the terrine but the group vetoed me for the pate and I was pleasantly surprised. It came with a little bit of salad, mustard, and pickles, and the whole thing ate really well together. Next came the sweetbreads and I think I was only sad there wasn't more of it. I liked this best of the apps. Got the half dozen raw oysters on half shell. Those were okay, I think I could skip next time. For mains, I got the duck confit. The duck itself was okay. I think I expected it to be more tender; and it was a bit oversalted for my taste. The potatoes and fig jus though... wow I would order this if it was just a side. Also, again, appreciated that there was a salad with this, I thought it was a nice touch that brightened up the dish. I probably wouldn't get this again but there are other mains to try. I tried the dishes ordered by others at our table. I thought the steak was super chewy. Definitely the worst steak I've had from a Stark restaurant. It is the worst steak I've had in recent memory. It also had very little sauce, but maybe I was only looking for the sauce because the steak wasn't any good. I thought the duck sausage dish was a bit salty. The poulet frites was probably objectively the most well-prepared protein out of what we ordered, in terms of seasoning and texture. We were pretty stuffed so we didn't get dessert this time. The service was interesting. Front of house were very welcoming and friendly, what you would likely expect for hospitality. Servers were not very welcoming or friendly, but maybe it's trying for French vibes in that way. (Jk.) It was maybe giving new server. That said, by the end of the meal I couldn't really knock it because the servers were prompt in responding to all our requests. Overall, I think the visit was like 3.5 stars because of the bread and butter, good apps, and prompt service were good, but the mains were all pretty disappointing. I will definitely be back to try more of the apps and maybe a dessert. read more

Came out to Augie's French on a Sunday. Parking was easy downtown which isn't always the case. Once inside, I noticed it was a beautiful place we and were seated quickly. The service was good, waiter was a bit difficult to hear and understand but we made due. Food wasn't amazing. I had steak frites and the peppercorn was wild. Too much. Drinks and fries were good. I recommend the fries. read more

I want to begin with saying that the food was pretty good, but not worth the price tag, especially by the way we were received. We came here for a friends birthday dinner. We had made reservations and realized we were going to be late so we called ahead of time to asl if it was possible to extend the reservation. The woman on the phone said she'd put as as "running late" instead of writing down the time we told her we'd be arriving. I mention this because upon arrival, they had already given up our table. No biggie, we didn't have to wait long to get seated. However, as the host was trying to figure out what to do with us, a tall blonde woman with short hair butts in and says "oh we though you guys weren't coming," when we specially call and stated that we were coming, just got caught up. She took the menus from the host and was trying to figure out what to do with us when she then proceeded to tell the host, who was a POC (so are we), to help us; so she (the white woman) could help the white people behind us. I didn't want to make it about that, but it was clearly that, because I wasn't the only one in the group to feel this way. All of us did. After that, the server assisted. She was very kind but she took really long to take our order, so we had to rush and put in our food before the kitchen closed. (Which I completely understood but we were waiting for our order to be taken, so that wasn't on us). We enjoyed our meal, but nothing out of this world. I've been to France and was hoping to reminisce, but it was hard, especially after the awkward interaction. Overall, the place was very nice, elegant, and a vibe. I don't mind splurging and having fun trying a new place; we love doing that. However, we will definitely not be retuning after the way we were received. read more

Restaurant Week 2026 Such a beautiful experience for our first visit. This place has been on my radar for a while, and with a sweet gift card in hand (thank you, Mr. Brown!), we finally visited Augie's during Restaurant Week. First off, the vibe is upscale casual, the perfect spot for a relaxed yet elevated dining experience. The entire staff, from host to server to runners, was friendly, helpful with suggestions, and wonderfully attentive. Everything was paced so beautifully that we truly got to enjoy every step along the way. We started with cocktails. A French 75 for me and a (very generous pour!) Pinot for my husband. My cocktail was beautifully balanced with citrus and sparkle. Delicious. We ordered different offerings from the Restaurant Week menu so we could try a little of everything. Butter Lettuce Salad - So light and perfectly dressed, accented with fennel and a generous portion. Onion Soup Gratinee - Oh good heavens. Heavenly. Cheesy, savory, deeply caramelized, rich and beefy. Salmon Paillard à la Plancha - Cooked and presented beautifully. Flaky, tender, and full of flavor. Still thinking of that leek beurre blanc! Beef Cheek Bourguignon - Oh my. Talk about rich. The potatoes were ultra-creamy and the meat just fell apart. That said, the chef was definitely salt-heavy on this dish. It was a bit distracting. Crème Brûlée - This is the definition of crème brûlée for me. Perfectly brûléed without bitterness. The custard wasn't eggy and had visible vanilla throughout. Brown Butter Chocolate Caramel Mousse - My least favorite bite simply because it was so dense, but the flavor was absolutely there. Overall, such a lovely first experience. We'll definitely be back when we want to enjoy a more bougee date night. read more

We had high hopes for this restaurant, and while there were some highlights, the overall experience ended up being disappointing. We started with the duck liver, which I really enjoyed. The combination of the rich duck liver and sweet figs was perfectly balanced. Our second appetizer was the frog legs. Unfortunately, they were quite bland, and the portion was so small that there was barely any meat to enjoy. For our entrées, we ordered the duck confit and the beef cheek. The quality of the ingredients was excellent. The beef cheek was incredibly tender, and the duck had beautifully crispy skin. However, both entrées were far too salty for our taste. The excessive salt completely overwhelmed the flavors and unfortunately turned what could have been a very enjoyable meal into a disappointing one. It's a shame because the ingredients were clearly high quality and the cooking was well executed, but the heavy seasoning made it difficult for us to fully enjoy the dinner. read more

My wife and I rarely get to have a nice night out. This was probably our first date night in way too long. We were considering where to have dinner when we thought we'd try a relatively new restaurant in Santa Rosa. The thing is, I love a good French Bistro more than anything. There is something about classic, comforting French food that makes sense for the winter months. Augie's is a special place and here is why. First, the space is so artfully done. It has the feel of somewhere very classy, but also very warm and inviting. I love the art on the walls and light fixtures are really beautiful. I loved sitting by the wall of wine in the back of the restaurant. It is really striking against the backdrop of the wallpaper pattern. I really appreciated the staff here. The host and the servers all make you feel very welcome and take good care of you. We started dinner with some fresh bread and whipped butter. The butter was perfect at room temperature and the bread was warm and tasty. We ordered their French onion soup which was perfectly done. I appreciated that not only was it beautifully crusted cheese and bread on top the soup underneath wasn't boiling hot so it didn't burn your mouth. The flavors and textures here are exactly what they should be and it's a good size portion. For entrees we ordered their Nicoise Salad and the Poulet frites. The Poulet (chicken) and fries was the shining star of the evening. This may be some of the best chicken I've had in a long time. The sauce is garlicky with lemon, butter, mustard and herbs. There was a baked lemon and roasted garlic on the plate to add even more flavor to the dish. The chicken was so moist and tender. I will be dreaming of this dish for some time. The fries were good. Crispy, salty, served with a bernaise sauce. I dipped my fries in the sauce that the chicken was in and that was perfect. The Niçoise salad I quite liked, but I need to put a disclaimer on it. There are many elements on the plate. Some are absolutely amazing, and others I could do without. The dressing had a heavy flavor of salty anchovy to it that my wife didn't like, but I actually enjoyed it. I love anchovies on most things so it worked for me! The blacked tomato was my wife's favorite part of the dish, while I thought the tuna was the star of the dish. I also enjoyed the soft boiled egg! For dessert, we ordered the Crepes Suzette. This dessert crepe is packed with a lot of intense flavor. From the Grand Marnier to all the citrus this dish may almost be too much flavor. The alcohol in the dish was a bit too much for my wife, but she loved the scoop of ice cream that came with it. The crepe itself was excellent and I ate every last bit of it even though I was absolutely stuffed. We left happy and will return again at some point! Thank you to the Stark family for opening this wonderful restaurant! read more

I come to Augie's French pretty regularly with friends and it hits every time. The decor is beautiful in that classic Stark way: warm lighting, stylish details and an upscale cozy atmosphere. The food is great, the service is on point and the place just has a nice overall energy. Their cocktails are also good, not overly fancy or experimental like other restaurants in the area. I will say a lot of the time I need to google what I'm ordering food wise but what I have had has always been flavorful (even when I still have no clue what French dish I just ordered). I still haven't mustered the energy to try the escargots but maybe one day I'll be brave. Overall 10/10, Augie's is the perfect balance of upscale and casual. Great addition to the Starks restaurants chain. Just a tip: definitely make a reservation if you're going during peak dinner hours. Its a smaller space that fills up quickly and the front reception area gets crowded! read more

I've come here twice with my mom and family and both dinners were amazing. Small and cozy but with an ambiance that doesn't feel too upscale and stressful that might come with French places! Service was always prompt and welcoming as well. There is a good variety of food with the stars I think being their escargot (the garlic butter being the best). Lots of little touches of snail decor around the restaurant is really cute. I've had their ahi Niçoise salad and it is excellent. The potatoes and ahi were a surprisingly good combo for me. Oysters are a refreshing appetizer but I recommend the frog legs (tastes almost like a very lightly fried thinner chicken wing). I often paired it with a side of mushrooms. My family has gotten a variety of their menu. Onion soup is good and ahi tartare is great to share and munch. Warmed baguette bread and butter are always available. They have such good appetizers I think they even beat out the entrees. But I can say their steak and poulet/chicken frites are not bad too. I'm very glad they can do substitutions for the frites with roasted vegetables and got my poulet with green beans instead which still were a good pairing for the meat. Desserts are great too to share and finish your meal. Creme brûlée is standard in a lot of places and theirs hits the mark but I love Augie's Crepe Suzette more! A tangy orange based crepe topped with vanilla ice cream with bits of crispy orange bits throughout. I hope I come back again to try more dishes. A lovely spot in downtown. Reservations are easily made online too. read more

Quaint and Fabulous - Perfection in Every Bite We came here for the first time to celebrate my husband's graduation with friends who live in town, and they recommended Augie's French Bistro - I'm so glad they did. From the moment we stepped into this charming, quaint spot, everything felt special and authentically French without being stuffy. The food was made to perfection, starting with fresh chilled oysters that were briny and pristine, followed by the rich, comforting onion soup gratinee. Our entrees - steak frites with crispy fries and perfectly seared meat, plus the delicate salmon paillard - showcased an amazing subtlety of flavors that lingered beautifully. We paired it all with a nice bottle of wine and indulgent desserts that capped off the evening flawlessly. Parking is off-street, which could be better during busy times, but the short walk added to the European vibe and was actually quite pleasant. Be prepared to pay a premium, but it's so worth it for this level of quality and experience - a true gem in Santa Rosa for special occasions. read more

I had made reservations for my birthday since I wanted to try this place. Even though there was other seating,bthd took us up the the second story which was basically a hot attic. The steak was so tough my wife had to hold my plate while I cut it. Monti Cristo was mediocre. The crust on the bread was hard and they didn't give us a serrated knife to cut it, so we had to break it with our hands. And to top it off, they offered no birthday dessert. read more

We recently had the chance to have dinner at Augie's and overall the experience was good and some minor improvements in food execution would make the experience exceptional. First off, parking can be a bit challenging here. There is a very small paid lot immediately behind the restaurant (entrances on B St. between 4th and 5th Sts. or on 5th St. between B St. and Mendocino Ave.) but almost every time we've been there it's been full with 2-3 cars waiting for folks to leave. It's not worth the hassle - use the much bigger lot that is across 5th St. It's an extra few minutes walk, but we've always been able to find parking here. Both lots are paid but only until 6pm. The space itself is quite dark due to its orientation but they've done a great job creating a bistro-like casual dining atmosphere. It's a bit loud at times but not so loud that you can't have a conversation at a two-top. Our first look at the menu was overwhelming - so many things looked incredible so we opted for two starters and two entrees, which ended up being way too much food. For the starters, we had the sauteed sweetbreads, which was honestly the best thing we had all night. The sweetbreads were perfectly cooked (they are quite easy to overcook and get really tough and unappetizing) and seasoned to perfection with a nice hit a lemon to cut through the richness. We also tried the steak tartare, which was good, but leaning a bit more toward being mustard-heavy. It wasn't overpowering by any means and if you like mustard, you'll absolutely love this. I personally prefer a little less mustard and the addition of bit more chopped cornichons for acidity, but this was still very enjoyable. For the mains, we had the moules frites and duck confit. The sauce for the moules frites was absolutely delicious - ask for some extra bread to soak it all up and enjoy. The muscles were cooked perfectly, but unfortunately, they were not well prepped - beards were not fully removed and some of them were quite sandy, which is a little unappealing. The frites unfortunately were quite limp - I'm not sure if they sat under the warming lamp while other parts of our mains were still being prepared but a good bistro has to nail the frites, which IMO have to have a golden, crisp exterior and warm, creamy interior. Unfortunately, they also charge extra for aioli. The duck confit was well seasoned and falling off the bone, but the skin wasn't crispy, which for me falls short since it's a crucial component for the balance of textures in the dish. Some of the frisee in the salad had some dirt/grit as well. Again, the food issues are unfortunate, but I would consider them relatively minor issues that hopefully can be improved upon in the future (certainly at least washing/rinsing salad lettuces and mussel prep). Our server was awesome and service all throughout the meal, whether from our server or from bussers/runners was exceptional. We brought a bottle of wine in ($35 corkage, waived with one bottle purchase off their menu, up to two 750ml bottles) and also ordered one off their menu. The menu has some good options but I struggled to find very many good producers on the list with a reasonable markup. FWIW, if you like a richer style of Chardonnay, the best value on their list is the Dehlinger Estate Chardonnay ($70 on the menu, ~$45-50 retail). Our server handled the wine service perfectly - always stopping by to add splashes of wine and checking in on the temps to see if we needed an ice bucket. We'll definitely be back to try some other dishes off the menu! read more

Absolutely LOVED this place!!! Arrived around 2pm on a Friday so we were able to get seated right away at a great booth in front of the bar. The ambiance was fantastic - beautiful butterfly wallpaper, royal blue booth, and the most relaxing classical music. I instantly felt calm and at peace which is a rare feeling when you're out to lunch!? Service was amazing, we never had to wait to get our water refilled which I value highly. Food was all 10000/10. My boyfriend and I shared the French onion soup (Onion Soup Gratinée) which he said was the best he's ever had, the beet salad (Golden Beets), and the roasted potatoes (Pommes Lyonnaise). Let me tell you, there wasn't even one standout - everything was SO flavorful, well-balanced, and delicious! I'm typically not a huge potato fan and I was obsessed with these. There is a huge parking structure that's free for 1 hour then it's only like $1 per hour after, but we came on a day when it was free for everyone all day. Can't wait to come back with a bigger group to try more!! read more

Absolutely awesome elevated French bistro food! The vibe of the restaurant is funky and cool. All the servers were friendly and kind. The little things lined up - like making sure you got that last minute drink order delivered before your entree came out. The food is great. All high quality and throughtfully prepared. Personal favorites were the Coquilles, the Poulet Frites, and the Crepes Suzette ... + the warm baguette and salted butter to start! Hope they keep the strong vibes going as I'll be back. read more

My wife and I arrived at the restaurant right when it opened without a reservation and were seated immediately since we were the only customers. The service was good, but the food experience fell short. My steak was overcooked, forcing my wife to eat her dinner alone. The waiter was helpful, but it's disappointing that a first-time customer's steak wasn't prepared correctly. The manager checked on us, and we were later offered a scoop of ice cream for the inconvenience. However, their effort to make amends felt weak; most places would have offered a free drink instead, or what am I, a five-year-old, lol. read more

I think 4.5 Stars is the accurate rating at Augie's so I will round up for the average. No one should be surprised that Stark's restaurants have lost their luster as they expanded, Augie's is a welcome improvement over their recent places... their Frog Legs is one of the best things I have eaten in years, the Champagnes are delicious & well priced, Duck Liver, Bread & Whipped Butter are also great, service is solid, ambiance hits the mark; prices seem good for the offering. I will say... don't order the Steak Frites... to start Filet Mignon is mid in general & the cut at Augie's was meh, also the fries were mid & over salted to boot. read more

We shared a steak frites and profiteroles. I had French onion soup and Sabrina had haricot vert. All were perfectly prepared and served promptly. The service was welcoming, friendly and professional.

Gorgeous restaurant, lovely staff, great cocktails and dessert - unfortunately our steaks were SO tough, it ruined the meal. The peppercorn sauce had little flavor as well.

AUG2024 Cute little date spot. Service was helpful with any questions we had, water refills infrequent. Depending on how busy it is, the service can kinda drop off tho as I had to flag people down for different things over the course. We arrived just in time for happy hour so we loaded up on things to try. We had gotten the ahi tartare, the steak tartare, button mushroom provencal, pigs in a blanket, frites, hazelnuts, gnocchi, and the anchovy toast. I took the gnocchi and mushrooms home later as the sun set and it got quite cold. Everything was cooked well, and the flavors were nice. Favorites for me were the pigs in a blanket and the hazelnuts really. The white sausage was a nice turn on the dish. The hazelnuts were scrumptious. The button mushrooms and the gnocchi were quite heavy on the butter sauces for me and needed something to counter balance it. Nice for a night out though maybe a seat at the bar might've been better for the two of us at the end of it. read more

My friend decided to treat me out to some French cuisine. Never had any before until now and I can see why she wanted to take me here. This place is located in downtown Santa Rosa. You'll have to find parking on the streets or in a garage. I'm not sure if you need to make a reservation, but doesn't hurt to get some reservations ahead of time. As you walk in, there are two floors and is quite small. There are booths and of course a bar! After looking at the menu, there were a few things I really wanted to try. Since growing up, I kinda knew that Vietnamese dishes had a French influence to them. From baguettes to their escargots , but their own twist. Here we were served baguettes with butter and of course we ordered escargot with truffles and a cheese egg omelette with truffles. Oh how delicious these came out. Of course we couldn't stop there and we got the duck confuit. It was all delicious and of course a simple meal. I quite enjoyed it. read more

Augie's French is located in downtown Santa Rosa and is part of the local Stark's Restaurant group. All of the Starks restaurants are wonderful so I was excited to finally try Augie's as I've heard nothing but great things! I made a reservation for three for a Thursday evening. When walking in I immediately noticed the warm ambiance and the friendly staff. The restaurant wasn't too busy when we arrived but by the time we left it was very busy! For a cocktail, I had the French 75, which was very refreshing! We ordered several items including Brussels Sprout Gratin with parmesan-garlic bread crumbs to share, which was delicious! For my entree, I had the Gnocchi a la Parisienne with summer truffle, brown butter and parmesan cheese. For dessert, we shared the Profiteroles au Chocolate, which were just perfect! Everything was absolutely delicious!  I enjoyed my experience and look forward to dining at Augie's again in the future! read more

We had a wonderful experience at Augie's- we dropped in for a happy hour bite and bubbly (great price) and stayed for dinner...and dessert. Appies were very generous and tasty. Wagu steak was melt in your mouth delicious and the frites ( usually not our favorite side choice) were something very special ( try a little of their house made mayo with them) - endive and pear salad a great compliment. We finished with crepes suzettes- again very very generous ( easly could split with 3). Wine list was fun with an abundant selection of domestic and French. The entire staff was friendly, helpful with suggestions, and attentive without hovering or rushing. Also we found other dinners very friendly !

Augie's French is probably one of my favorite french restaurants in Santa Rosa thus far! It's such a cute little restaurant and a warm ambiance. The servers here are super friendly and very attentive. We came around 3PM and didn't realize it was only a bar menu from 3 - 5. Next time we'll come back for the full dinner menu! We ordered an array of items. Starting with oysters which were delicious! They were fresh and sweet! So yummy. Then we had the Three French Cheeses which was a perfect little sharing plate for the table. For our mains we got Onion Soup Gratineé. SO GOOD. So much flavor; all the ingredients blended together perfectly. My favorite was the Prime Burger Royale. It was cooked perfectly and the onion marmalade they use as the condiment was such a pleasant surprise. It paired very nicely with the meat. It comes with fries and they were also very tasty. I just wish it was a little bigger so I could have more! Can't wait to come back for the dinner menu! read more

We just had the Monte Cristo and Prime Burger Royale for lunch today before getting married. I can't say enough good things about this establishment. The service and ambiance was beyond excellent and the food was awesome. This was the best burger I've ever had! And the Monte Cristo was really good too. It was a beautiful day to eat outside and the staff was attentive and friendly. If we lived closer I would be there all the time. Thank you, Augie's French for the wonderful experience. read more
