My fiends ordered the deviled eggs, and they said they were mousse like and good. I got the Cocorico which was a fancy grilled chicken burger. The fries were again the best part of the meal. Our server was super helpful in answering some of our questions about the menu. They have outdoor seating and it was a perfect day for it. We had the lunch menu which I think has a good variety to choose from whether you want a light lunch or something more substantial.

As for the food, it was a bit of a mixed experience. The salad was fairly basic and didn't leave much of an impression. However, the salmon was the standout of the evening--perfectly cooked, tender, and paired beautifully with the capers, which added just the right amount of flavor to the dish. The dessert was a bit underwhelming and didn't quite end the meal on a high note. On a future visit, I would likely opt for a different dessert. Even so, the inviting atmosphere and well-executed entrée make this a place I'd consider returning to. Overall, its great setting for a romantic evening, with a few menu items shining brighter than others.

I was happy to oblige. Fabulously attentive service. The goat cheese butter with the bread was a great start. Decadence in a bite. Then the rack of lamb with potato croquette arrived and honestly stole the whole meal -- perfectly crisp outside, creamy all the way through. The rack of lamb was cooked correctly but lacked character. Lamb should taste like lamb, and this one played it too safe. Not bad, just forgettable. The vegetables let the plate down. Overcooked Brussels sprouts and unevenly cooked sweet potato aren't what you expect at this price point. Worth the visit. That croquette alone earns it.

One of our best dining experiences ever! It was 5:30 on Friday. We walked in and the place was…read morepacked. We had reservations and got seated immediately. I don't recall the name of our server. However, he started by explaining the drink specials. We don't normally order cocktails, but it was recommended. The bartender made a custom mocktail for my wife that she said he knocked out of the park! Mine was cool and refreshing. He suggested the Soup de Saison. Since it was 90 degrees outside, it was a cool cucumber soup. Not my go to, but we wanted to try different things. Another home run! Then we split the halibut and the star of the night, the blistered peppers. Since it is a seasonal menu, the peppers are not always there. They were flavorful, with the right amount of umami. I would go back just for them. We also had a great conversation with our neighbors, as the small tables are close together. We will be back.

We dined here for our first time yesterday, and I can't believe it took us this long to finally try it out. We had reservations for 7:30pm and arrived a bit early. We were offered to have drinks at the bar which we happily obliged. We don't recall the name of the lady who made our drinks, but she was great and clearly is top notch at her craft. My wife got the White Lotus and I had the Thai NAgarita (adult non alcoholic). My wife absolutely LOVED her drink and I also did. We were seated shortly after getting our drinks and seamlessly moved us to our table. Our server was great, again drawing a blank on her name. We ended up getting the Soup de Saison which was a creamy potato soup, sorry for my lack of ability to explain it correctly. It was absolutely phenomenal. Being able to take a soup as simple as potato and make it have the flavor it did blew our minds. We also got the Fava Bean Dip which comes with two pita bread. This dish was fantastic. We would order both again and again, but will have to try other Starters next time because we know everything will be amazing. For our entrees my wife ordered the English Pea Vareniki and I the Pan Roasted Alaskan Halibut. We both were extremely happy with our dishes. I tried the Vareniki and it was delicious. Again, we would both order these over and over. Mind blown. For dessert we got the Tarte Au Citron and also the special which was a Strawberry Pavlova. The Tarte was absolutely delicious and would get it again and again. The Strawberry Pavlova was hands down the best dessert dish we have ever had in our lives. We do love strawberries so that helps, but everything about it was out of this world. If it is available when we go, we will order it every time. Overall an amazing experience and loved the ambiance and old building feel. Definitely an Auburn vibe which we love. I have seen a lot of complaints about the noise, but once again, those are people I don't care to be around. It is sort of a smaller restaurant with people having a good time, so if you are people who are snotty and complain about some noise and others talking and laughing enjoying themselves, don't come here. Well done Restaurant Josephine. Absolutely phenomenal!

We had just moved to Winters last year from Hawai'i and have heard so much about this location. When our friends suggested we go there I got so excited about it. The best part of the visit was a personal tour of the grounds at Park Winters from Rafael who is one of the owners. He has got to be one of the most humble and nicest people I have ever met since moving to California. There is so much to see and do if you decide to walk the grounds on your own. I love how they have repurposed some of their buildings with old doors, wooden fruit crates, window frames for picture frames, just so much creativity in this hidden gem of Winters. The owners really put a lot of thought into every detail of their gorgeous venue. Thank you Rafael for taking us on a tour of your beautiful property. You're an amazing host. I can't wait to return with my daughter.

Our server was Michael, and he has been there for quite some time. We had excellent service by him. We ordered a number of items. Our perennial favorites were the salade lyonnaise (because who doesn't love bacon and egg over greens) and their tomato soup over puff pastry. We also tried this time around their mussels (served over a big pot with broth), their Pike dumplings and a Chanterelle mushroom seasonal special. The restaurant was crowded. We can still hear each other but it's definitely not a quiet lunch spot. It's a nice change if you normally like to eat at Bouchon and want to try something slightly different.

The staff were super nice and gave us a few recommendations, but we ended up going with the Grilled CAB Hanger Steak and the Soupe à l'Oignon. The steak was incredibly tender and juicy, with a beautiful seared outside. The beef had that deep, rich flavor and the roasted garlic added a little sweetness. But the bone marrow butter was something else. It basically melted right into the steak, adding this buttery, savory flavor that made the meat even more indulgent. But for me, the real star was the Soupe à l'Oignon. This might honestly be the best French onion soup I've ever had, even better than some I've had in Paris. The broth was deep, rich, and full of onion flavor, while the onions themselves were incredibly soft and almost melted into the soup. Then came the cheese. That first pull when you lift the spoon was insane. Creamy, salty, and slightly toasted, it mixed with the hot broth and sweet onions perfectly. Every spoonful had layers of flavor. Rich broth, sweet caramelized onions, melted cheese, and that toasted bread underneath. It was comforting, hearty, and exactly what I wanted from a French onion soup. Bistro Jeanty gave me a little taste of Paris all over again.

Yes, parking can be tough when the students come back, but that's how it always is in Davis. The food here is great! I've had several of their savory crepes and I love them all whereas my cousin always gets one of their sweet crepes. This time I tried the "savory crepe" which had shrimp, pesto, Parmesan, bell peppers, and I think mushrooms if I remember correctly. I LOVED it. So delicious! And so much food! It came with a "half salad" which I got to choose, so I chose the Fuji salad, it was huge! It was the size of a regular salad! All of this for $19. I also got the ginger shot mixed in carrot juice which I loved. You order at the counter and then receive a number and choose your own table, then they bring your order to you when you are ready. Everyone was very nice, and patient, and helpful. We stayed in the restaurant until closing and they never rushed us out. There is tons of seating inside and outside! I will keep coming back here over and over. I love their crepes!

I was able to call and use their automated system to find the reservation and specify patio because we had a dog. On arriving at our table, we were served bread with garlicky butter. Yum! We ordered a couple of pastas. The gnocchi stuffed with ricotta was pillowy and not chewy. The Mezzaluna had delicate balance of flavor with truffle and corn. It was great to find vegetarian dishes with unique flavor and texture. The portion sizes were not huge but satisfying. For dessert, we had a Tiramisu and Choco Lava cake. I am usually a Tiramisu lover but this one seemed to be a bit overwhelmed with the chocolate layer on the top, I like it in the more traditional style. The Choco lava cake was amazing and decadent. The service was good and attentive. They told us about presence of gelatin in one of the desserts. The ambience was chilled and relaxing. We could enjoy a nice breeze and enjoy conversations in a peaceful corner. What made it special for me was them patiently answering my questions about parking and welcoming me to use their restroom in the evening when public restrooms had closed. I did not even have to specify I had dined with them earlier. They are elegant and non-pretentious.

For the amount of money that is being spent here for a party of 6, I have expected a better service. The food was great though, maybe come when there is not a wedding happening.

Steak tartare to savor over as well as their pickled caperberries, offered something different to cornichons and complimented well with the steak tartare. Duck confit was to be delved into! They know how to make the duck confit still juicy and tender! I adore the corn ragout, pickled alliums, squash and sweet peppers all mixed together and laid underneath the duck confit. It's a unique dish and a signature entree one must order! I haven't tasted anything like this before. Their iron steak could be replaced with something else. I do like their frites on this entree but they could have upped their game by providing gratin instead (which they have on their menu only as a side) with the steak. Adored their gratin.
