    This was the second time my wife and I dined at Auguis. This hidden gem offers a perfect blend of casual comfort and gourmet cuisine. The laid-back atmosphere puts you at ease while the expertly crafted dishes surprise and delight your taste buds. It's our favorite spot for a relaxed yet impressive dinner. Just like the first time, the experience brought us back to France. The service was incredibly warm, attentive, and welcoming, and the wait staff made you feel at home. This is our favorite of all the French bistros we have been to in California. The French Onion Soup was the best I've had outside France - perfectly caramelized onions in a deep, flavorful broth, topped with a generous layer of gooey Gruyère. The food was a culinary delight. Every aspect of our evening was flawless. Thank you for a great experience.

    The food is exquisite. We had the calamari which was kissed with breading making it light and flavorful. The homemade pasta with a pesto cream sauce topped with crab was sheer heaven. The flavors were complementary and distinguishable. The staff is attentive and quite genial making the whole experience top drawer!

    Really nice little winery with amazing Aussie roots and a passionate winemaker. Great alternative to some of the larger less personal tastings. And the wine was terrific, esp if you tend to prefer drier, earthier wines. Highly recommend!
