The two us had a reservation for Thanksgiving. They were serving a 4 course prix fixed meal where you had choices for your appetizer, main, soup, and desert. For a pricey meal, coffee or tea was extra. As for the turkey choice, very non-traditional and did not impress. The salad was very vinegary. The beef short rib was excellent. Service was impeccable and the dessert was the highlight of the meal. Probably won't do Thanksgiving there again.

We love Auberge, especially sitting out on the deck. It is pricey, but the ambiance, which is superlative, must be taken into consideration.

We were very surprised on how average the food was. The first course lobster dish was overpowered by shallot and radish. The citrus was a nice touch but the overall dish mediocre. The second dish was the risotto which just tasted like cheese but wasn’t delicate and no distinct flavors came through. It was just a big cheesy heavy dish. The main course of the lamb was too sauced and took away from the flavors of lamb that should shine through. With the sauce it didn’t even taste like lamb. And the rest of the dish was broccoli with Parmesan which was unremarkable. If this was just a nondescript average restaurant in town the food would have been fine but it doesn’t cut it for a Michelin starred restaurant where you drop $500 for two.

Probably one of the best brunch experiences in Napa Valley. View is spectacular and the food was amazing too. It's definitely a lot of food (incl mimosa/sparkling wine and bread to start). The short rib and pork chop were especially good. Service was exceptional as well.

Went to celebrate my birthday dinner and had the most amazing meal! Service was spectacular and I am still dreaming about the food. We did the four course meal and the portions were very generous, we probably should’ve opted for three courses. Thank you, Auberge, for a beautiful evening!!!
