Bistro Jeanty on Postcard

"When it comes to French bistros in Yountville, there’s pretty stiff competition, but Bistro Jeanty is easily one of the top three. It’s located in the heart of the action and is a great all-purpose spot that works for pretty much anything from a group lunch, to a date, business meeting, or walk in between wine tastings. Look forward to one of the best tomato soups in a bread bowl you’ve ever had, along with delicious, garlicky mussels, and perfect bistro french fries that’ll make you want to grab a beret and settle in for the night.

"French Chef Philippe Jeanty first came to the US back in the '70s to work in the first Moët & Chandon restaurant in Napa, and he's been in the valley ever since. His eponymous bistro in downtown St. Helena is French country in the best, most quaint way—sit on the idyllic outdoor patio. "

"The patio is one of my favorite lunchtime spots. Pictured here is Blanquette De Lapin with pappardelle tossed in a morel-cream sauce." - Aaron Hutcherson

Good food, pleasant service and a very cozy ambience. Last we dined here was a few years ago, it still had the same "home" feeling to it, steak and duck were both well prepared, fries were crunchy and the onion soup light and delicious. Duck was prepared with orange peels and a cherry jam which I liked very much. The rice pudding dessert was ok, not too sweet which was a plus. Our server was attentive and present whenever we needed something. We try to eat here every chance we visit, it's walking distance from Bouchon and both are equally great bistros.

Amazing meal with the best service! Plenty of specials to choose from that I imagine change everyday with an extensive menu. The tomato soup was delicious and was my first excitement for fall weather! My husband had the lobster and crab cheese soufflé and wow, amazing! For mains we had the the lamb chops and short ribs. Both were to die for! The atmosphere was lovely, it filled up fast but still felt very intimate. Our service was phenomenal. Thank you for a great experience! Wish we had room for dessert, next time!

Authentic French cuisine in Yountville, prepared with a homemade touch. The signature tomato soup and rabbit meat pasta were my favorites. It was absolutely extraordinary culinary experience. The price was reasonable compared to other upscale restaurants in Napa.

I never give 5 stars reviews. But this restaurant deserves it. Best French bistro food I have had outside of France. Original dishes. Desserts that are not too sweet like most American desserts are. Great wine selection. Easy parking. Only thing that was not French was the speed at which dishes come out. I think for Americans the speed was right however. The food was so good that we ordered extra food to go. Dinner tonight will be French “left overs”. I tried to take pictures of our courses. But the taste was so intense I kept forgetting.

This is a great place for a French brunch or lunch if you are in Napa for wine tasting. It’s casual dining and upscale food. Watch out for the scallop pricing! We nearly died when the bill came to $48 for 3 scallops with mash potato and peas. Kind of pricey for that dish that normally cost $35 at the most for high end restaurant. Well, if you want to charge that much for scallops, the sauce better be spectacular and not just peas and potatoes ! You got to add some caviar on the top and a nice wine sauce that is killer! Nowadays restaurant food has gone up but with the addition in prices, the quality has to go up as well! Otherwise you need to remain as it was as it’s not justified ! I like the prune desert the ice cream is gooey!

Wow! This experience was very worth going again for. My favourite dishes had to be the steak tartare and duck (a special of the day).

The service was exceptional. Our server Austin was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, and polite. His recommendations for food and wine pairings were the best! We ate till we couldn't move. I need to come back again!
