   A really fun evening. The food is delicious and their servers were so accommodating but may be a little short staffed. The lamb shank and the peach salad was absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to go back again!

   A bit warm outside, but not unbearable. Music was good, but just beyond background. Food staff were excellent, seemingly knowing our next request. Prices were good for Napa. Definitely a place to try.

   Beautiful tucked away gem in Calistoga. The patio dining, shaded by trees, set the stage for a memorable dinner. Service was friendly and attentive. Broad wine selection to find the match for your occasion. Food was delicious. In particular, the gumbo was the best I've ever had. Definitely will be back!

   My boyfriend and I celebrated 2 years and went to Evangeline for dinner. We were greeted with warm smiles. All the servers were so friendly and helpful. They played delightful jazz and the ambience was great. We started off with the oysters that tasted very fresh. My boyfriend got the steak which was buttery and soft. I got the shrimp etouffe I don’t get shrimp often because it’s a hit or miss but the shrimp was amazing! We ended with the crème brûlée which was perfectly created with a pretty flower perfect for pictures. Thank you staff we appreciate you!!

    The salmon omelette was delicious. Four of us ordered the chicken and waffles and we ALL wondered why the chicken had NO flavor or seasoning, the waffles were PERFECT. Our server was great. We felt we were dining in New Orleans at the French Quarter .

    The best restaurant in Calistoga (which is high praise!). Interesting and delicious menu- we loved the oysters, and fried pickles, burrata salad, grilled artichokes, Bouchon baguette, excellent craft beer as well as full bar cocktails. And to wrap up a lovely outside evening, affogatos. And excellent service!

    This is truly a hidden gem. The setting is delightful. The service is friendly and helpful. But the food is the real topic. It was fantastic. The lamb shank fell off the bone. Perfectly cooked and match with wonderful vegetables. The chicken gumbo flavorful and is on par with the best kitchens in New Orleans. I just can’t say enough.

    Beautiful setting just off the main drag in Calistoga. We ordered fried pickles and the shrimp cocktail. Both were very good. For our main we ordered the steak and fries and the Burger. Again both were very good. We finished with a crème brulee which was excellent. The service was excellent. Would highly recommend.

    I ate solo and the food was excellent. But the experience felt rushed. Everything came out quickly and server tried to take plates away before I was done. Whole meal in 30 minutes from arrival, ordering,and eating. Not what I hoped for in a fine French restaurant.

    Pretentious that they ask for a credit card for a reservation which makes it seem like fine dining. Only to arrive and have plastic on the tables, way too loud music and middling service. The food was good but mismatched to the experience

    Server was rushed and not well informed about wine or menu. We were expecting french, and it was a mixed cuisine not particularly imaginative menu. The tomato/fresh mozz/prosciutto salad was decent. The tomatoes were not chilled, which is usually a sign that the chef has a clue. Roasted chicken had good flavor but was small and a little dry (over cooked). The potato puree was pretty good, but a little heavy on what appeared to be creme fraiche. The potatoes were food milled which is a sign of sophistication. The gumbo was horrid! First off it was a rouxless style, and to me the whole point to gumbo is a dark nutty roux. The chicken was big stringy pieces of of chicken breast that were cooked to a point of a pulled pork like consistency. The Andouille was OK, but I thought overly spicy, and it was added on top after being sauteed separately, which bypasses a big point of adding andouille to this classic cajun stew, which is to imbue its flavor into the whole dish. The presentation was a big heap of over cooked white rice with no seasoning or butter/oil (i.e. totally dry) in the middle of a narrow bowl, with the stringy watery chicken stew on top (so this ugly mound of white rice rose above the surface of the broth), with slices of sausage placed on top around the perimeter with some kind of greenage (green onion?) sprinkled on top. It looked bad and the taste was bland and underwhelming, unless you ate a bite of sausage, which overpowered your palate with spicy. It just sucked. Sorry.

    It was our first visit to Calistoga. Decided to try French restaurant for our anniversary. Service very slow and drink didn't came with all ingredients- didn't had cherry, but table next to us ordered a drink within 5 min and supposedly a jar of cherries appeared at the bar. Asked about whiskey selection but was only mentioned 3 types, however on the wall at the bar on our way out we saw at least 6. Food was not seasoned. We ordered duck and salmon. Both had no salt, just basic flavors put together. Menu mentioned root vegetables and had basic carrots not even baby carrots??Not what we expected at all from this restaurant. We mentioned that it is our anniversary when we made a reservation and not a single person said anything. Experience that we had is far from what we expected from Calistoga famous restaurant. Extremely disappointed.

    Nice restaurant but could use a little more polish to fully live up to its potential. Tables could benefit from proper tablecloths and items such as gas canisters should be hidden from plain sight.

    Way understaffed, our waiter did a good job given the high number Of tables he had to cover. Sent salmon back twice- initially way overdone and then came out raw. Burger not cooked to specifications. Manager was apologetic and comped both dishes. Had to buy dinner in the way home No rush to return.

    Beautiful place to eat outside. The food was delicious. The staff was uneven and seemed to need more training and/or coordination. The wine list was the rating killer. The offerings were way over the top on the price range. There should have been some offered with a reasonable price ($35 - $50).

    Gorgeous outdoor courtyard setting with heater lamps and protection form rain and sun. Fries pickle, roasted avocado, and raw oysters were excellent. The risotto had fresh vegetables and a nice creamy texture, but was was otherwise flavorless. Needs some garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs. The chicken was dry. Good selection of wine as one might expect.
