    Was excited to be at Brix on a Monday nite before wife left town in the am. Hostess, manager, & bartender (our eventual server,) were all welcoming, professional & enthusiastic about our visit. We chose to cork a bottle at the bar and share dishes there. The MNF game was on tv, and that was kind of cool. Started with the Caviar/Dungeness deviled eggs (five stars,) followed by the tempura green beans, (another five.). Couldn’t leave w/o trying the Friend chicken though. Perfectly seasoned and rivaling Ad Hoc on the dish itself adding mashed potato & green beans (this time steamed or roasted.) 10/10

    Great ambiance, service, and food. Never thought I would leave a review about cauliflower but it was the best I have ever had! The ribeye was juicy and the risotto was creamy. All excellent. We went for our anniversary and the staff was all very kind and even gave us a glass of bubbles on the house to celebrate. We can’t wait to return!

    Dined on Dec 2, 2024
    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.
