I'm sorry I was not impressed with this restaurant. Yes, the views are dynamo, but I think it is a tad overrated. I could not even eat my main entree, it tasted that bad. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but for those prices everything on the menu better taste absolutely superb...it didn't. My experience gives this place 3 stars.

Since September of 2000, The restaurant at Auberge du Soleil has been under the tutelage of Executive Chef Richard Reddington. The food is beyond good. The Chef's Prix Fixe Menu is a wine and food extravaganza. It is right up there with The French Laundry. Reddington, from New York originally, has worked in such restaurants as Postrio and Jardinere. Auberge du Soleil is a must when visiting the Napa Valley. The views and ambiance are unparalleled anywhere in the World. Service is excellent and the award winning wine list is unbelievable.

Andrew Sutton is one of the more creative chef's in all of California. His signature menu is "Sharing of the Senses" - so called because, in Sutton?s words, "Food is the only art form experienced by every sense." Its courses feature Taste (Caviar Cannollis with Crab Relish and Osetra Caviar), Sound ("Sizzzling Tapas"), Aroma (Duck Consumme? Infused with Chamomile, Lemon Balm and St. John?s Wort) and Touch (Grilled Wild Salmon in Corn & Lobster Aqua Pazza). Excluding beverage, tax and gratuity, the "Sharing of the Senses" menu is $75. Well worth it! Also, the menu suggests the perfect wine to pair with each course.

The view is breath taking. You can see the wineries below. Very beautiful and romantic. The service was excellent. The food was first class. Everything looked so good and tasted delicious. I would recommned lunch or dinner here. The food is worth every penny and if they served this food in San Francisco, they would charge a lot more for it. The crab cakes are a great starter and for the main course, my favorites are chicken satay and the foie gras and duck club.

I can't believe this restaurant isn't in this guide yet! L'Auberge du Soleil is the primo hotel/restaurant in the Napa/St Helena area. (Technically it is in Rutherford - off the Silverado Trail.) I have only had lunch there which is what is reflected in price. Dinner is considerably more expenseive, but I'm sure worth it. The food was perfect - delicate, unusual, artfully presented, excellent. The view of the Valley is unsurpassed. Lunch for 2 is about $50 with wine - typical for Napa Valley quality restaurants and this one is the best so far!
