   The shrimp etoufee was very good and the duck confit was fantastic, especially the sauce. The oysters tasted fresh and the grilled artichokes were great. Paired it all with a Paloma. We'll be back

   Started off with the hostess giving us the wrong menu which the service apologized for, not a big deal. The description of the egg’s Benedict on the menu stated it came with spinach. It came with “kale” which I hate. The server did offer to have it remade however I had eaten around it so it would have been a waste. Overall food was good and ambiance was great.

   We had the pork shoulder and the autumn risotto. Both were excellent, as were the creme brulee and apple tarte desserts.

    The entire experience was just “meh”. Not terrible but not great. Started with an extremely loud group of ladies at a table nears….a flakey and slow waiter….and “southern” food cooked by non-southerns…not terrible but not great either.

    I went to this place over a year ago and we were impressed by it. It was our first outing after the Covid lockdown and everything was clean and sparkly! This week, our experience was not the same. Hope this feedback is taken constructively for future guests. I have to say food was overall good, my sons loved the gumbo and wagyu hamburgers, and my husband enjoyed his lamb. Their creme brûlée was really good made with fresh vanilla beans and flambé to perfection. The ambience though, was not what I remembered. There was a smell.. maybe the old furniture, that was very unpleasant. The chairs and table were wobbly outside, and my water cup looked dirty, which is a huge turn off for me when I am spending money on drinking Aqua Panna. Another thing was that the food but lacked a little seasoning for my taste, the beet appetizer with burrata came with no bread and there was no salt/pepper to the sight. The charred abocado, recommended by our server, was great.. just wish I had salt nearby :) Not to your control, but a customer next to us was acting like a Karen and asking the server what their native tongue was, complaining about unripe tomatoes, and I being inappropriate and difficult.. again, not the restaurant’s fault, but it did not improve our experience. Highlight of the evening was the very lovely server who was very polite and accommodating to all the tables. It was nice to observe how patient and positive he was, including to the rude customer. The music and sound level was also perfect!

    Fairly nice venue although they had recently fertilized the garden so the smell of manure wafted thru parts of the patio. Good, attentive service. Mediocre food. The halibut sounded like it would be tasty but it was pretty bland.

    They put fertilizer out right before reservations. We had to sit inside. The paper menu and QR menu were different. The food was ok and they kept trying to sell us the most expensive thing on the menu.

    Went for dinner on a Sunday. Restaurant was not very crowded. Had a good goat cheese and grilled peach salad. Very fresh ingredients. The Bouchon baguette is also good and fresh. The mains were just ok. I had the SHRIMP ETOUFFEE and my son had the wagyu burger. His French fries were good. My SHRIMP ETOUFFEE tasted microwaved and the shrimp had no flavor. He said his burger was average.

    Service and ambience were excellent, but one of our entrees arrived with a cold center. Unsure if the lamb had already been stored for the night and was only reheated because it came out much tougher than expected based on prior experience. Drinks and the rest of our meal were up to expectations. Hard to justify the meal when so many other options are close.

    Perhaps the hype on Evangeline had set my expectations too high, but sadly it did not live up to the previous reviews. The restaurant is tucked away down a quiet street off the main drag in Calistoga and is a welcoming environment. We sat on the outside patio, a lovely area set behind a wrought iron gate leading to the sidewalk. We had a standout appetizer dish, peaches with creme fraiche and grilled onions which was memorable, whereas the grilled avocado on toast was unsalted, and dry. The roasted chicken I had was bland and overcooked, though the skin was nicely crispy. My dining partner had the gumbo yaya which was unedible for the heat of the chiles, (we weren't warned it would be that spicy.) The wait and hosting staff were kind and helpful, but there was no genuine exchange with them - something I enjoy. They were not particularly busy, so it was a shame that we didn't get that as part of the experience. It could be that Evangeline, like so many other restaurants in the valley, are still trying to work out the kinks of having been closed or adapting to the pandemic, and I can understand that. I hope they are able to rise back to the level I was expecting.

    We dined on the patio. It was a hot day and only one of three ceiling fans was working but set to blow air up rather than down. Table tops were plastic and really should have had table cloths. The salmon was really good, steak over cooked and shrimp under cooked. Not quite as good as I was expecting.

    We started with bread, which they charge $5 for 3 tiny pieces for, seems odd. Moved onto the fried Brussels which were cooked well but lacked any type of seasoning- including even salt. Moved into the steak/frites- again cooked well but no seasoning and fries were only warm. Chocolate moose dessert was really rough. We could not finish it - it felt like it was made days prior and had a taste of old food - I think there are other places worth going to when in town

    Very quiet and peaceful setting for our anniversary dinner. We sat outside on the patio on a very warm evening. It was nice but the flies were bothersome. The food was great!!! Excellent Brussels sprouts and peach salad. The shrimp ettufee was delicious and steak frites were perfect with a very tender steak. They made affogato for me which was perfect on a warm evening. The crème brûlée was just the way we like it: hard shell, flavorful rich filling. We even got complimentary champagne!! We’ll be back!!

    All three of us enjoyed our meals, but just as good as the food was the welcome we received. We had reserved a table on the patio (very nice), but we arrived early and asked to sit indoors while we had wine and an oysters appetizer. They were very accommodating, and the wait staff were all so helpful. Our waitress even let my daughter taste two white wines so that she could choose the one she liked better. My roasted chicken dish was very good, and my daughter loved the pork. All in all, a very nice experience.

    It took a bit to get used to ordering from a QR code menu but actually worked very well. The menu had some great seasonal items. Go now to get the grilled CA peach/onion/blue cheese/lardon plus more salad. This is huge after it is split! Since it is summer, don't overlook the Sangria cocktail. Lovely! Nice wine by the glass menu.

    Billed as a Cajun place it was a mix between French country and southern with hints of each. The grilled peach salad was wonderful with its blue cheese mousse and it was the best thing we had The hangar steak was good and well grilled The staff was accommodating and did turn the music down when we asked because we couldn’t hear each other over it A pleasant patio setting for a casual dinner
