Augie’s French — Restaurant in Santa Rosa

Augie’s French restaurant is the best five star restaurant in all of Sonoma county. It's true what people say about Augie's, the food is excellent, the service is great, the menu is outstanding, in the prices are reasonable.

My date and I are both foodies. We sample new restaurants at least twice a week. Most often three or four times per week. We have to put Augie's restaurant in the top 10 best all time restaurants we have ever eaten at.

My friend is from mainland China and has has traveled extensively. She has three full passports and is working on her fourth. She knows food from around the world. I myself have been to all western european countries and enjoyed the ethnic food in each country. France being my favorite. Without hesitation we give Augie's five stars!

We had the appetizer of garlic escargo. The snails were perfectly cooked and presented.

For starters we had salad. Chef Mark Mark presented Endive, Pear, Walnut & Roquefort with Banyuls vinaigrette dressing.

We selected the two most difficult meals to prepare, and if done correctly, the most delicious to eat. My date ordered the Beef Cheek Bourguignon with Classic Garni and pommes puree.

I had the Liberty Farms Duck Confit with upland cress salad, fondant potatoes with fig jus.

For desert we shared the Classic Vanilla Crème Brûlée. This is the perfect dish to share as a dessert. The portion is large and I do not believe one person could eat the entire dish. But together we made it disappear magically. We enjoyed every spoonful.

If you want to take most magical experience please try Augie's restaurant. I guarantee you will not be disappointed! The atmosphere is beautiful. The service is spot on. The menu is excellent. The food is delicious. The prices are reasonable. The wine list is expensive and exclusively french. It doesn't get any better than this. Advise you to make a reservation at least a day or two in advance. Augie's is very popular....

Dear Augie’s French Team (especially Eddy!)

Oh my gosh—what a night! I had the absolute best time celebrating my birthday dinner at your restaurant, and I just had to say… thank you thank you thank you!

From the very first bite of the Steak Tartare to the Liberty Farms Duck Confit and that divine Steak Frites—it was like a love letter to ingredients. Every dish was so thoughtfully prepared, letting the natural flavours really shine through. Honestly, I didn’t think “must-try restaurants” were really a thing for me in the U.S., but you completely changed my mind. I would totally recommend Augie’s to anyone and everyone. It’s that good.

And let’s talk about the service! Eddy, you were an absolute star. Even with a packed dining room, you made us feel seen and cared for with such grace. You noticed how much I loved the bread (guilty! carbs are my love language), and your dessert recommendation? Life-changing. I’m not even kidding—better than a Michelin dessert I had. You made my night extra special with that sweet surprise, and I’m still dreaming about it.

It’s such a joy to know a restaurant like this exists in Santa Rosa. I already can’t wait to come back. Thank you for making my birthday dinner feel so magical.

With love, sparkle, and serious...

The food was superb! All cocktails was marvelous. The bartender was the best , she made the best drinks , I wanted her to continue serve us but unfortunately she could not serve us at the table ! The French waiter , he was very slow not so good , did not acknowledge our table when we set down for about 10 min . A customer the was seating next to our table waived at the new girl that was standing next to the computer to come and help us . She was sweet and took our order . The French server did not apologize for anything and still not coming to the table , he simply just took the order from her , anyhow , couldn’t expect any better service from him since I know how French waiters in Paris treat their customers . “Careless” . Overall experience was good . Next time I will just seat and eat...
