    We decided to venture from Sonoma to sample this well-known French restaurant. Pros: Great service. Good portions AND dinner includes soup and salad, a rare find these days :) Food was good, not fantastic, but good. Cons: VERY crowded seating. We were seated in a main thoroughfare and it was quite annoying. This is not a 'comfortable' place -- not big spacing, no intimate bar area, and seating was very close together.

    Very good service. Highly recommended! Everyone in our party was more than pleased with their food selection and the bottle of wine was well chosen by our waiter. In short a most enjoyable evening.

    I had just arrived in Santa Rosa after a very long, uncomfortable flight and a slow drive from SFO during rush hour. I arrived at La Gary to unwind after such a long day of tedious travel. And it was a very pleasant experience! David, La Gare’s longtime waiter was quite skilled at helping me determine which entree was best for the kind of appetite I had; I selected the veal cordon bleu. It was absolutely wonderful: the veal was tender; the sauce well seasoned; and it just hit the spot. David was also very knowledgeable about the best wine to pair with the veal, and La Gare’s wine list is an A-list of fine Sonoma Valley wines. For dessert, David recommended the dome of chocolate, a decadent dessert that you just have to experience for yourself because it’s hard to describe. As I wrote on La Gare’s Facebook page, “if (the Dome) were any better, it would be illegal!” La Gare is on the high side of a restaurant meal, but the ambience, the quality food and wines, and its knowledgeable, attentive staff make for a truly worthwhile experience. I will definitely come back to La Gare the next time I’m in Sonoma.

    We’ve enjoyed many outstanding meals at La Gare over the years. However, our experience on Thanksgiving night was underwhelming. Although the waitstaff service was excellent, the kitchen seemed to be unprepared to handle the extra large number of covers that evening. We will definitely continue to dine at La Gare….but will probably avoid going on a holiday evening.

    Good afternoon meal. Attentive service. Outside is where its at! Great ambience and quiet. Indoor tables are packed too close together. Do need to repair plastic windbreak at front of alleway. Ripped and hanging.

    I go for the Beef Wellington which never disappoints. The salad is simple with a good basic dressing. The French onion soup was perfect. The chocolate mousse was just okay. But our waitress, Amy, was perfect.
