    All of the Stark’e restaurants are special, but Augie’s is really quite magical! We had amazing food, service and ambience for our Christmas Eve dinner celebration. Highly recommend!!!

    Coquille St Jacques, beef Bourgogne, and duck Boudin cassoulet are dynamite. Crème brûlée prepared perfectly—good crack. Well attended too and no rush dining. French 75 cocktail was perfect! Only suggestion would be a scotch whiskey for the older crowd like a Johnnie Walker red. Not everyone likes a bourbon Manhattan.

    Since we had a wonderful first time experience at Augie’s, I decided to come back for wife’s birthday. Unfortunately, this time everything was just subpar, it didn’t meet the expectations that was previously set. Entrees took ~50 mins to come out, and when they did, the dover sole was cold and the escargot were drenched in butter but bland. Very possible that it was a busy Saturday night or just an off night. May give Augie’s another try when the occasion is right, but I would definitely set my expectations accordingly this time.

    Menu selection is superb—something for everyone. Nice selection of specials as well. Noise level is more manageable at lunchtime; dinner can be challenging. A little pricey for lunch. Interior design is fabulous and reflects the French bistro vibe perfectly.

    Every dish and beverage we ordered was wonderfully prepared, presented, and delicious. (Onion soup, mussels, sweetbreads, button mushrooms, salmon and creme brulee, a mocktail, and glass of pinot. The salmon was a little undercooked for my preference, but th braised leeks and sauce were amazing. Excellent service from all from involved with our visit.

    My wife and I waited a year to experience Augie's and we were very much pleased to enjoy authentic French cuisine here in Santa Rosa. Thank you for the quality and dedication to the French traditions.

    Amazingly, Augie's French does NOT have a Cesar Salad on the menu. I know, unheard of, right? While that, in and of itself, is reason enough to celebrate Angie's with 5 stars, the rest of the menu is well conceived, and well executed. Nothing groundbreaking, but it's a bistro, so that is also welcome. This is about standard offerings, that deliver what they promise. Pretty much the definition of a bistro and the reason why I'll return to Augie's often.
