Having arrived at the Auberge after a long day of travel and business with about 30 minutes to spare for a hot bath before dinner, I was very disappointed to have only slightly tepid water with which to do so. Upon calling the front desk, we were sent a maintenance man who first attempted to blame us for using the bath and shower at the same time, which we had not (my husband was answering emails and had not planned on taking a shower before dinner), then instructed us to wait for about 30 minutes and we would have hot water. As this had already eaten up about 20 minutes of my bath time, there was no time left. Having said that, the remainder of the trip was lovely. Both the dinner and the breakfast were delicious. The food was superb; inventive, creative and flavorful (and that sourdough bread!). The service was friendly and impeccable; polite and attentive yet not overbearing (and again, those chocolate dusted almonds, mmmm….) The room beautiful and offered everything a traveler might need, and then a few extras! ...and the non-smokey fireplace was perfect. The bed was comfortable, the parking was just across from the room for quick and easy check out. I really wanted to give this a lesser star as mentioned earlier, but everything else made such a wonderful impression and created a great memory, it's worth the five stars.

We were a party of four with reservations and high expectations in anticipation of our dinner at this famed Napa resort. Unfortunately we were sadly disappointed. The table we reserved was given away. Sitting in the direct setting sunlight was uncomfortable for the first 1/2 hour. The food service could not have been slower. The food was better on the menu than on the tongue. It was ok. For all the reputation it has had……..was it a party downstairs for the golfers or was it just……bad service.

Phenomenal food. My favorite was the beef pave. Pro tip: you can order 3 entrees if you want (vs 1 appetizer, 1 second course, and 1 entree). The service was less impressive. We had to ask for our heaters to be turned on at least 5 times before they were. The view was good but less impressive than I was expecting given the reputation.

This is truly an experience. Three or four course menus. Every bite is an explosion of flavor. Don't miss the desserts. The service and views are impeccable!

Amazing meal and very accommodating to a family with an 18 month old. We sat on the terrace and they brought us a shall for Ellie after the sun went down, she fell asleep almost immediately after dinner as we enjoyed dessert. Epic wine list too, the 2007 Quill 100% Cab from Diamond Mountain was eloquently.
