    Ben was our server and he was impeccable with assisting us in our selection and paring. The duck confit was out of this world, our special was the black cod and that was sur le point! melted in the mouth. Escargo was merveilleux, and the onion soup délicieux ;)

    Very sweet French Bistro. Food is traditional. Yummy dressing on the butter lettuce salad. Would be better for some if the lettuce was torn in to pieces instead of the full head. A bit challenging to cut it at a small bistro table. We enjoyed the poulet and frites. Nice service. Pricy for lunch - would go again for special treat.

    Loving the lunch menu - we had onion soup (how can you ever not order that), butternut squash soup and tuna tartare. What a delicious lunch- but wait there’s more! We topped it off with Creme brûlée- creamy and the top was crack able.

    We ordered a bottle of wine that arrived promptly and then we waited for our appetizers to arrive. Our entrees were delivered to us and we waited and waited for the bottle of wine we’d ordered well in advance. Clearly the flow of food and beverage is not coordinated and disrupts the experience. My partner’s $32 fish entree was so small I thought it was an appetizer; it was laughable. Overall not a good value at all. I dine better at home.

    We had been looking forward to eating at Agues as we had heard great things from friends, but we left disappointed. The space is beautiful and inviting. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcome, but it went downhill from there. They gave us the wine list and it was a nice selection of French wines, but the first 3 bottles that we ordered we were told (after waiting for them to arrive) "I'm sorry, we are out of that wine", so we resorted to "well why don't you tell us what is available" The wine were settled on was a decent French Burgundy and fairly priced for a restaurant at double the retail price. Next we ordered our food, and as nice as our waitress was, we had to tell her the names of the dishes in English, as she did not seem to know their French names. This was hard to understand as that is how they are printed on the menu? Our first courses arrived together and they were good, but my wife soup was just lukewarm, not hot. Then out entrees arrived and our waitress got one of the orders wrong, so 3 of us ate, while one of our party had to wait for his entree to arrive. I ordered mussels, and they must have sat on the counter for at least 5 minutes before they were served, as they were lukewarm too. Overall, the food quality was just good, not great and dished that should have been served hot were only lukewarm. Where there are so many great places in Sonoma and Napa, it would be hard for us to decide to try Augies again, which is a shame as we really liked the ambiance. Agues came off amateurish. They should be able to manage their wine list properly, and the food quality needs to take a big step up to equal the prices charged. Really disappointing.

    The cocktails, food , and ambience were excellent. The service was pleasant and thoughtful . But one wonders if the restaurant is slightly understaffed , as the waiter disappeared several times , and had to be flagged-down to request bread to accompany the delicious mussels, order a glass of wine to accompany the perfectly cooked scallops and duck confit , etc.
