Best Restaurants for Groups in Kenwood

Food is consistently amazing. It’s a classic for a reason. It’s loud in there so think about seating as yelling across the table is challenging. The beginning of the meal felt rushed this time but it did not detract from the experience, we just needed to slow ourselves down vs giving in to how quickly the service was moving us.

We were fortunate to visit during “Restaurant Week” in Yountville. Food was (as always) delicious, and meticulously, beautifully presented. The staff were very accommodating; we had arrived a half hour early for our reservation, and were seated quickly at a nice table outside, which was well-heated and tastefully lit. All of the staff were professional and worked together well to create a warm, comfortable atmosphere. I was particularly impressed by what seemed like every member of the staff (those that we passed on our way out) wishing us a good evening or thanking us for coming in. The restaurant was (rightly so) quite busy at that hour; that the staff would do this really added a positive finishing touch to a night full of wonderful dining. Bistro Jeanty is full of positive finishing touches, on their dishes, their service, and their atmosphere. It’s a great place to celebrate a special occasion, and I look forward to returning!

When we walked in we were impressed with the open and light modern decor. It felt clean and inviting. The bar is quite impressive and takes the spotlight at the center of the restaurant. We also loved the cozy nooks for more private meals and noticed several larger tables for large parties. The food was very tasty and well-prepared. It was on par with the other fine dining restaurants nearby. There was a lovely outdoor patio that was set up for dining in warmer weather. All in all this is a great place and I will certainly return.

FIrst time having lunch at Augie’s. Took the SMART Train from Petaluma Downtown (could have used Petaluma North). I got a $6 pre-paid round trip to the Santa Rosa Downtown station and found out that seniors could travel for free, at least until June 30, 2025. It’s a 13 minute walk from the but it’s a 4 minute Uber ride. We got there at 11:00 am and were given a menu and a place to sit in the sun until the place opened at 11:30. Love the fact that they have the WHOLE DINNER MENU available at lunch. And my favorite server, Ali, was our server. We ordered French Sancerre white wine by 5oz for me and 9 oz for my friend. If one more had come we would have ordered a bottle. MMMMMMMM APPETIZERS * 1/2 Dox local oysters OMG! * Escargot with black truffles. Good, but wished I ordered the standard ones. * House-cooked french bread and house created salted butter. OMG! * Coquille St Jacque OMG! Scallops like no other! * Frogs Legs. The last time OMG this time good. * Liberty Farms Duck Liver Terrine OMG!! With onion fig marmalade. It was our #1 * Crepe Suzettes for dessert. * Great coffee to match it. Service A+ with my favorite server Ali! And I think the front of the house person was one of the owners. She made sure everything was going close to perfect. A little less phrenetic than the dinner time. Probably because it was mid-week.

Fabulous food and wine pairing menu. Excellent service. Love the Mayo Family Reserve Room.
