   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.

   We had a really delicious dinner at Augie’s for our anniversary. I especially recommend the salade lyonnaise - so yummy! Very warm and attentive service. The upstairs seating area was pretty noisy and somewhat cold, however. We will definitely try Augie’s again, as the food was wonderful.

   Exceptional Dining at Augie’s in Santa Rosa Our experience at Augie’s, the latest gem in the Stark family of restaurants, was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in the elegant yet inviting ambiance of this French-inspired haven. Our server, Ben, provided impeccable service—attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations were spot-on, elevating our dining experience to new heights. The culinary artistry at Augie’s was phenomenal. Every dish showcased a perfect balance of traditional French flavors and modern creativity, leaving us savoring every bite. From start to finish, the meal was a celebration of exceptional taste and quality. As longtime fans of the Stark restaurants, Augie’s has only deepened our admiration for their unwavering commitment to excellence. We’re already planning our next visit and look forward to many more delightful evenings here. Highly recommend Augie’s to anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience in Santa Rosa!

   The ambiance at Augie’s is lovely, and the service was excellent. However, we were extremely disappointed by the long wait for our entrees, which arrived barely warm. It was evident that they had been left under heat lamps for far too long. We were hungry and chose not to complain at the time, but this experience was unacceptable for all five of us.

   The difference niner was simply fantastic! We had the scallops for a starter, endive salad( amazing) and mussels and boudin Blanc. Our waiter was not very engaging so that was disappointing. The hostess was superb so she made up for him. Overall great dinner but our server was average otherwise I would have left a bigger tipping

   Our table enjoyed the dishes we had: scallop appetizer, French onion soup,salmon, steak and frites and beef bourguignon. The wines on the other hand were disappointing at best.

    Too much salt on everything!, even the chocolate mousse! Over half of your audience is over 50! Two sauces for the steak frites was absurd when I asked for bernaise my steak was in a red wine reduction. With bernaise on the side! French I think not! But on the positives the steak was cooked to perfection!
