Augie’s French - Santa Rosa (CA)

5 /5 Bill Kennedy: One of these days I’ll have a proper dinner, but I do love coming here for the Happy Hour and small plates. The food is always amazing! Pictured are the Oeufs Mayonnaise, French Onion Dip, and the Herb and Gruyère Gougeres.

5 /5 Eva Toimil: If you’re looking for a fine dining experience where you will be well taken care of and can choose anything on the menu without being disappointed, this is the place We have returned here numerous times because the service is excellent. The dining experience and quality is consistently outstanding. Always feel well cared for here and it’s nice to have a fancier place to go to dinner. The beef cheek is my go to, it is so so good. Luxurious, flavorful tender melt in your mouth! Another favorite is beef tartar, perfectly seasoned. Forgot to snap a picture of the dessert, profiteroles. They change the flavor seasonally, I hope to see the cherry one back soon!

5 /5 William Keck: By far one of the best restaurants in the whole Bay Area (and wine region). Very traditional dishes prepared with care. The selection of regional options is impressive and execution spectacular. I had two nights in Sonoma and went both nights. The service was equally as impressive. Whether it’s the hostess, the servers or the busboys - everyone is knowledgeable and helpful. They’re attentive, care about your thoughts on the food and are responsive. The manager lived in France (and is fluent as we spoke some). She had great recommendations and conversation. The atmosphere is modern and tasteful. Lots of tile and mosaics. Ambient lighting that turns down around 8 (but not too dark). Light fixtures down to the napkins all seem throughly thought through (#alliteration). Even the small outdoor patio has cute seating with a little gate. I couldn’t recommend Augie’s enough.

5 /5 Michael NitrosMike McPherson: Augie’s French restaurant is the best five star restaurant in all of Sonoma county. Its true what people say about Augies, the food is excellent, the service is great, the menu is outstanding, in the prices are reasonable. My date and I are both foodies. We sample new restaurants at least twice a week. Most often three or four times per week. We have to put Augies restaurant in the top 10 best all time restaurants we have ever eaten at. My friend is from mainland China and has has traveled extensively. She has three full passports and is working on her fourth. She knows food from around the world. I myself have been to all western european countries and enjoyed the ethnic food in each country. France being my favorite. Without hesitation we give Augies five stars! We had the appetizer of garlic escargo. The snails were perfectly cooked and presented. For starters we had salad. Chef Mark Mark presented Endive, Pear, Walnut & Roquefort with Banyuls vinaigrette dressing. We selected the two most difficult meals to prepare, and if done correctly, the most delicious to eat. My date ordered the Beef Cheek Bourguignon with Classic Garni and pommes puree. I had the Liberty Farms Duck Confit with upland cress salad, fondant potatoes with fig jus. For desert we shared the Classic Vanilla Crème Brûlée. This is the perfect dish to share as a dessert. The portion is large and I do not believe one person could eat the entire dish. But together we made it disappear magically. We enjoyed every spoonful. If you want to take most magical experience please try Augies restaurant. I guarantee you will not be disappointed! The atmosphere is beautiful. The service is spot on. The menu is excellent. The food is delicious. The prices are reasonable. The wine list is expensive and exclusively french. It doesnt get any better than this. Advise you to make a reservation at least a day or two in advance. Augies is very popular. Bon appetite!
