   What an absolute disappointment. This restaurant has no business holding a Michelin star - period. Everything about our experience was a letdown. We dined here a decade ago, and it was incredible. Tonight? A disaster. We went all in on the tasting menu, dropping $850 for two tastings and a single wine pairing - only to be served a meal that felt lazy and uninspired. Scallops, sweetbreads, and lamb - all with the same sauce. Seriously? And the wine pairing? First of all, the wines completely overpowered the food and sauces - an absolute mismatch. It’s as if the chef has no clue how to pair wine properly. We came for California wines, yet somehow, we started with a German Riesling and were then served cheap Burgundies. What a joke. The chef’s creativity is nonexistent. The whole experience felt like a careless, overpriced assembly line. We will never return.

   Mr. Kharchenko, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback from your dinner in The Restaurant last night. It was extremely disheartening to hear that your experience did not meet the expectations. Our culinary and hospitality teams truly appreciate any feedback and always use it to improve the guest experiences at Auberge Du Soleil. Additionally, our wine list features selections from around the world with a concentrated focus on France and California. However, we are always open to personalizing the food and wine pairings for each guest. We hope to be considered for future dining opportunities on your next visit to the Napa Valley. Regards, Jeff Greene Restaurant General Manager

   Our recent visit was the first time back in many years (we moved from the Bay Area, nothing against the property) and it was even better than I remember it than before. The setting is spectacular: refined blend of Tuscan / European and Napa Valley elegance. Before dinner, we enjoyed a delicious cocktail out on the deck, enjoying "golden hour." For dinner, I had the sunchoke soup, the tuna crudo (both are seasonal) and the potato gnocchi. The gnocchi (thankfully) is on the menu year 'round (lucky you!) and I highly recommend all the dishes. My husband had the scallops, the risotto and the lamb, and he said they were outstanding as well. Every Single Detail was perfection - from the greeting, the ambiance and the music, to the service and the quality and presentation of the meal. IMHO, this is the #1 place to eat in Napa.

   Is there a better place to enjoy a meal than Auberge? Sitting on the balcony, overlooking my favorite winery and watching the sunset…perfect! Service is superb, friendly and helpful. Food is delicious. We don’t get to Napa enough, but when we do, Auberge is our go to for an exceptional meal and experience

   Our ten year visit back to the area and we wanted to see if Auberge would be as impressive after all this time. The views from our table were great and the service outstanding!

   The best way to experience Italy without getting on an airplane is to go to Auberge du Soleil. We were blessed with a mellow day in terms of number of guests, so we could really slip into the ambience of both the place and the local. The view down into the valley was freshly brushed with Spring, the service impeccable, the food divine and its presentation beautifully artistic. I have come here for as long as it has been opened in 1981 and it only gets better. If I weren't happily married, I would remarry here!
