    Overall, the food was lovely. I enjoyed the desserts and wine selection most. The Margherita Pizza was not great - there is a pungent cheese in it which really takes away from the beauty that is a simple Margherita. I did not like the flat bread with dips. The soup was delicious. Highlight of the meal was the apple tart.

    Perhaps not the best for place winter. Dark and dingy inside on a rainy day afternoon. The food is reasonably good but quite expensive.

    The dining room at Auberge du Soleil never disappoints, creatively prepared cuisine, polite and attentive service, wonderful views of the Napa Valley mountains. There is nothing the wait staff won't do to ensure your dining pleasure and experience. And as for take home bags, they provide you with a receipt for the welcome station outside the dining room where you can up your leftovers in a nice shopping bag rather than cluttering the table with the takeout bag.

    People are sitting outside and inside. Every time a server or patron went in and out from inside outside. It froze in the restaurant. They should’ve had heaters on the patio. The spoiled and otherwise pleasant Christmas dinner.

    Beautiful outdoor dining, quickly seated - very disappointing to eat a few spoonfuls of the potato leek soup only to find it had meat in it, which was not described in the menu.

    Was there for our anniversary. Seated by the bar. It was cold outside but the wait staff kept opening the doors to the balcony. They would leave them open. It was so cold in the room that people were dining with their coats on. The food was just okay. The shrimp cocktail was rubbery. The rigatoni was over cooked. Worst place we went during our trip to Napa.

    We went to enjoy “champagne week”. While they did have a broader selection of champagnes by the glass, there was nothing special about the menu. Certainly nothing to accentuate the bubbles. Service was absolutely excellent. Warm, fast and accurate. Food was below average. We had Cobb salads. No Bleu cheese (as indicated on the menu) and the chicken was dry. But, You can’t beat the view!
