"Be forewarned… We dined there last evening. We were a party of 6. We were celebrating our anniversary and had that noted prior to our arrival. We were out in Napa after flying in from Florida. We had reserved this date to dine a here more than TWO months ahead of time. The experience was completely disappointing. The waiter was practically non existent and the food was mostly forgettable while my husband’s and my entree were really terrible. The lack of service and concern for our table was stunning considering it is a Michelin 1star rated. It truly was a shocking performance. (Empty wine bottles were left on the table. Bread crumbs remained on the table until we asked them to be removed. Water was not refilled. Waiter never returned to inquire how our entrees were/tasted. We were asked to place our order in its entirety and told they would stage it appropriately, they did not and we were totally rushed. Rolled up bill was delivered in a table glass by the waiter who dropped it and left. Avoid the Poulet Roti as it is tough, dry and sauce is overly salted. The Bibb lettuce salad was not cold or even cool. The garden herbs it is adorned with were mostly sliced green onions. My husband’s Steak Frites was no better than a chain restaurant and cooked rare, when ordered medium. He left half on his plate…The frites, however, were a hit with all who ordered them. We would have informed the waiter had he ever returned to inquire about our meals. But, as I stated earlier, he did not. Don’t know what happened to make it “all go to hell in a hand basket”, but it did. So much for celebrating our anniversary as nothing was ever mentioned by the waiter again (He did initially inquire about it as he said it was in his notes for the table. . Overall, very disappointing experience. We will not return to this restaurant and probably won’t be looking for other Thomas Keller locations either."

"This review is for their Sunday brunch. I have to say this was the best brunch I had this year. $38 per person with 2 courses and dessert, the portion is generous and food is comforting. You get out full and satisfied guaranteed. Yesterday, the menu was: smoked salmon with cucumber salad and yogurt raita sauce, suveed tri top, with delicious potatoes and roasted small onions. The dessert was lemon cream bar. I wish I can elaborate more on how it was prepared, because it was not as simple as I described. Food is very simple, but very meticulously prepared. You do identify the familiar flavors right away, then you are amazed how well that is executed. The concept is very unique. As the restaurant is there to give you the “temporary relief from hunger”, the menu resembles files from the doctors office and the staff are in brown casual shirts and jeans. The decor is simple and themed around the comfort food with big old French style kitchen tables at the front and in the dining room with iron pigs on top of them. The food is served family style, which gives you the visual of generous portion. Immediate relief from hunger can come from seeing the big plate of hot food in front of you alone. Service is very knowledgeable and settle. I would say that at times we felt it was a little slow, but welcoming. I would love to go try their dinner one of these days."
