Auberge du Soleil

We will have to say Auberge du Soleile is  the best and the most exquisite resort we have stayed.   Beautiful spacious room with luxury amenities is  very welcoming. We are also mesmerized by the Michelin restaurant overlooking the Napa valley.   The breakfast serving is very elegant and delicious.  Everything is just so perfect.   Thank you for making our stay at Napa memorable.

Your hotel provided a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. From the moment I checked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and upgraded my room as I booked through Amex. I will not hesitate to recommend Auberge our friends and family and look forward to returning on my next visit to Rutherford.

This is a difficult review to write because Auberge du Soleil is undeniably beautiful. We were seated at a gorgeous terrace table, but daylight savings meant we couldn’t fully enjoy the view we had hoped for. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu, which we appreciated. My husband ordered the chef’s tasting menu, while I chose the four-course menu. Throughout the evening we received multiple additional amuse-bouches and palate cleansers, along with bread. Under normal circumstances this would have felt generous, but with the number of courses we selected and the surprisingly large portion sizes, it became overwhelming quickly. I also have a shellfish allergy, which we noted in the reservation and again with our server. While the server did acknowledge it, one of the unrequested extra dishes was squid — often a concern for shellfish allergies. I had to send it back. Later, my cheese course (which I ordered) never arrived, though it wasn’t listed on the final check. My appetizer and main were not to my liking, though the dessert — a gourmet chocolate cake with mint ice cream — was absolutely fantastic. My husband enjoyed his dishes more than I did, but he also felt the overall meal didn’t quite “wow” us, which we acknowledge may come down to personal taste. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff was kind, but the allergy oversight, unexpectedly large volumes of food, and missing course made the experience underwhelming for a special occasion meal.
