The food was wonderful, the service attentive but not intrusive, and the location spectacular. I don't know of another place to dine in the Napa Valley area that has such a wonderful view. We will return.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful BrunchAmazing view. Excellent brunch menu. The bloody mary was one of the best I've ever had. My wife loved her asparagus soup with dungeness crab and the duck confit hash. I really enjoyed the onion tartelette with smoked salmon and creme fraiche. My kurobuta pork chop with sunchokes was tender and flavorful. The staff was very polite and attentive. Reserve ahead of time and request outdoor seating on their covered patio to fully enjoy the vista.
If not for us having eaten lunch at The French Laundry the day prior, this may have been a 5-star review. Quite honestly, it was a 4.5 star experience. We'd definitely come back!5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMGO!The food outstanding, the wine list extensive and impecable, the view to die for, the service is the example other restuarants should follow!

The chef's selections and the wine pairings are fabulous.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat for a splurgeThe Auberge du Soleil offers refined food and service at a very high level - and cost. It's a special occasion restaurant, with a knowledgeable staff and food that is both tasty and elegantly prepared.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMSpecial Birthday Luncheon 2 FriendsHad a spectacular lunch. Asparagus soup and English pea risotto with Hooper shrimp was the best I have ever had. Rest of the table had equally as excellent meals-- onion crusted halibut, and porch chop. Would highly recommend the Dumol Chardonny!!, Staff were also excellent. We will return for the next special event which should be soon as you can always find a special event to celebrate!!!5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMgreat as expectedThirty years ago i took my Gf to Auberge for graduation dinner. 5 years later i took her for a post honeymoon luncheon.

We have, of course, attended in the meanwhile.
Still the go-to spot for special occasions and always exceeds expectations.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMLasting MemoryI want to thank the entire staff of Auberge du Soleil for an amazing dining experience and a very special birthday memory for my husband. My husband didn't want to do anything special for his 74th birthday so I decided to suprise him with lunch for just the two of us at Auberge. I expected a nice experience but what we got instead was a wonderful memory. The entire staff treated my husband like a king and his every request was met with a smile and but of course. If you want to have a really special experience for a loved one this is the place!4/29/2013 12:00:00 AMIncredible view. Food doesn'tIncredible view. Food doesn't match. Just OK.

The service was impeccable, with excellent food and wine pairings. Our server Kathy was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. She took the dining experience to the next level for us. We also really appreciated never feeling rushed to finish our meal.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMJust had a wonderful experienceJust had a wonderful experience at this fine restaurant last Friday. It's in an absolutely gorgeous setting, that along with the perfect weather made our outdoor dining experience amazing. The gist of the menu is that you can order a 3,4,or 5 course chef's menu..there is no a la carte. My wife and I decided to order one 3 and one 4 course, splitting the extra among us. We enjoyed everything we ate, though my steak was a little tough...cooked beautifully, but it couldn't save the texture of the cut they served me. We also had poached lobster and hamachi (amazing). Cheese plate was a nice selection, but if you like chocolate, then you have to eat the dumplings..4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMWorld class dining in Napa ValleyWorld class dining in a beautiful setting. They more than accommodated my gluten free diet needs. The food was exceptional, the wines were perfect....really, really enjoyable.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was a reunion for myThis was a reunion for my friend and I after 20+ years. Wait staff was helpful, efficient, and friendly. View is spectacular! Food interesting, not just typical. Had we ordered the fixed price menu it would have been very good value.

A keeper for a special occasion. Recently, it seemed that some wait staff was new and might need a bit more training. Our more seasoned waiter from last May still remembered us and came by to say hello. Tough act to follow!3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMAn experience to be repeated.Although very pricey this was an "EXPERIENCE". The format is PriceFix and avaiable with or without wine pairings. Unless your a very knowledgable wine consumer best fo with the pairing. The staff was very precise and provided excellent service. The resturant overlooks the Napa Valley and the sunset view is fabulous. Either arrange for transport or stay there so you can fully enjoy the fine wines that accompany a great meal.
