Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Kenwood

Staff was wonderful. Allowed us time to contemplate menu. Never felt rushed. The Fritto Misto was good as an appetizer. Beware that the misto includes sliced fried lemons, a bit of a surprise for the non-lemon lover at the table. I had the scallops which were prepared perfectly, just a hint rare in the middle. Four out four of us were happy with our choices. I most definitely will return. BTW crab sandwich, that I was spying on, looked excellent too!

It was a perfect Fall, Monday lunch at Auberge - this was our Christmas gift to Mom who is 86 years old, and really wanted to dine here. From the start Eli the Valet made us feel welcome with his impeccable manners and professionalism. The hostesses greeted us as we were early and allowed us to sit in the Bar area. The weather was ideal - about 68 to 70 degrees overlooking the valley. Cesar our waiter was wonderful - polite, knowledgeable,and attentive. Jackson, the Sommelier in training, was impeccable and shared details of every dish. He also discussed some of the history of Auberge and was very generous with his knowledge of each dish. The Oysters were had by Mom and Sis, while I had the Gnocchi with special truffles and Parmesan foam!Absolutely delicious! Mains ordered were the Diver Scallops and Cabernet Braised Short Ribs. I had the short rib and I must say is was succulent, flavorful and like butter. The Cabernet flavor was spectacular along with the celery root, Baby carrots, and grilled Radicchio. I was told the Diver Scallops were scrumptious, flavorful and paired beautifully with the pomegranate seeds and squash. Rombauer Chardonnay was the perfect blend for the meal - as usual buttery and full of caramel notes. The Apple Tart and Chocolate Mouse were ordered for the third course along with some excellent Cappucinos! All in all truly a delight to dine here for lunch - the service remains excellent and the food superb.

My new favorite in the Napa Valley. Fresh ingredients and excellent flavors. Service was outstanding. I had the soup vegetable with white beans and a dash of fresh pesto. The Caesar salad perfectly dressed. Had a side of polenta. Fantastic. Perfect dinner out.

Flawless service, immediate drink orders plus skillet breads, table checkin’s on point,appetizer plate clearance , drink reorders, hot delicious food. They box leftovers. Wax paper between slices. Super pleasant server but not intrusive. Great experience as always 👍🏻

Consistently good food and excellent service. And such a pleasure to eat in a restaurant that is fairly quiet. We were seated at a table this time but the bar is always fun too.
