Augie’s is exactly what you hope for in a modern neighborhood French restaurant: warm, polished, and consistently well executed. Set in a brick-lined space with soft lighting, brass accents, and a lively bar, it feels intimate without being stuffy.
We started with the Coquilles St. Jacques and Rabbit Rillettes. The scallops were delicately cooked and nicely balanced—rich without being heavy—while the rillettes were rustic, flavorful, and perfect spread generously on toast with a glass of wine. A strong opening.
For mains, we ordered the burger, smoked duck sausage cassoulet, and beef cheek bourguignon. The cassoulet arrived bubbling in cast iron, delivering exactly the kind of smoky, comforting depth you want on a cool evening. The bourguignon was fork-tender and deeply flavored, served over creamy mash with a glossy, classic sauce.
The burger was the one slight miss of the night. While well seasoned, the patty itself lacked a bit of body, and the brioche bun was thicker and drier than ideal, which threw off the balance. Perfectly crisp frites helped, but it didn’t quite rise to the level of the other dishes.
Service, as expected from a Stark restaurant, was smooth, professional, and well paced. We brought our own wine, which was handled graciously.
Overall, a solid four-star experience. Everything is thoughtfully prepared and reliably good. While it may not quite reach “unforgettable,” Augie’s delivers a refined, enjoyable evening and remains a place we’d happily return to.

By far one of the best restaurants in the whole Bay Area (and wine region). Very traditional dishes prepared with care. The selection of regional options is impressive and execution spectacular. I had two nights in Sonoma and went both nights.
The service was equally as impressive. Whether it’s the hostess, the servers or the busboys – everyone is knowledgeable and helpful. They’re attentive, care about your thoughts on the food and are responsive. The manager lived in France (and is fluent as we spoke some). She had great recommendations and conversation.
The atmosphere is modern and tasteful. Lots of tile and mosaics. Ambient lighting that turns down around 8 (but not too dark). Light fixtures down to the napkins all seem throughly thought through (#alliteration). Even the small outdoor patio has cute seating with a little gate.
I couldn’t recommend Augie’s enough.

If you’re looking for a fine dining experience where you will be well taken care of and can choose anything on the menu without being disappointed, this is the place
We have returned here numerous times because the service is excellent. The dining experience and quality is consistently outstanding. Always feel well cared for here and it’s nice to have a fancier place to go to dinner.
The beef cheek is my go to, it is so so good. Luxurious, flavorful tender melt in your mouth! Another favorite is beef tartar, perfectly seasoned.
Forgot to snap a picture of the dessert, profiteroles. They change the flavor seasonally, I hope to see the cherry one back soon!

I’ve been in Augie’s for dinner during a short gateway with my partner in the Santa Rosa County. The place is very stylish, with an elegant ambience. The service was very professional, kind and attentive. We got a glass of Cabernet Franc that was really good. We eat the salmon, the poulet frites, cabbage salad and French fries. For dessert we got the profitteroles. Everything was very delicious and curated in detail. Strongly recommended if you are in the area!

One of the nicer places in Santa Rosa downtown. High quality food and drinks and suitable for business or personal. I had the Beef cheeks bourgignon which was melt-in-your-mouth fantastic. The apps were quite unique and tasty as well. Though I was there for a business dinner, would easily take my family or a date there (if I were still single).

One of these days I’ll have a proper dinner, but I do love coming here for the Happy Hour and small plates. The food is always amazing!
Pictured are the Oeufs Mayonnaise, French Onion Dip, and the Herb and Gruyère Gougeres.

Had dinner and love the place. We came early without reservations Tuesday evening but I will recommend one as when we left at 7, the restaurant was full. Definitely order the tartar beef onion soup and beef cheeks. Endive pear walnut salad is crispy but could be better with a little more dressing. Confit duck and escargot are good but expected. The pancakes dessert is wonderful. We will probably come again if we are in Santa Rosa.

Wow, what a wonderful restaurant! Let me start by saying our party went from 7 to 11 guests on a Sunday night. The hostess went above and beyond making it work for us!
The service was excellent, Ben did an awesome job accommodating everyone’s concerns and was efficient and unobtrusive. He seemed to be right there when we needed him but I never felt like he was hovering. His manager (Jill) was also involved in the service and touched our table several times to make sure everything was moving along nicely.
The food was on point as usual for a Stark’s restaurant. They really do a nice job in all of their restaurants. I especially enjoyed the onion soup, the sweetbreads and the duck leg confit. Everyone was happy with their appetizers and I heard several “oh man that’s good” around the table. We shared a few desserts and I think the creme brulee was the crowd favorite.
Overall it was a great night. The food was great and the service was excellent . We are all looking forward to next visit! Thank you Augie’s French for making our birthday celebrations great!

Dear Augie’s French Team (especially Eddy!)
Oh my gosh—what a night! I had the absolute best time celebrating my birthday dinner at your restaurant, and I just had to say… thank you thank you thank you!
From the very first bite of the Steak Tartare to the Liberty Farms Duck Confit and that divine Steak Frites—it was like a love letter to ingredients. Every dish was so thoughtfully prepared, letting the natural flavours really shine through. Honestly, I didn’t think “must-try restaurants” were really a thing for me in the U.S., but you completely changed my mind. I would totally recommend Augie’s to anyone and everyone. It’s that good.
And let’s talk about the service! Eddy, you were an absolute star. Even with a packed dining room, you made us feel seen and cared for with such grace. You noticed how much I loved the bread (guilty! carbs are my love language), and your dessert recommendation? Life-changing. I’m not even kidding—better than a Michelin dessert I had. You made my night extra special with that sweet surprise, and I’m still dreaming about it.
It’s such a joy to know a restaurant like this exists in Santa Rosa. I already can’t wait to come back. Thank you for making my birthday dinner feel so magical.
With love, sparkle, and serious gratitude

Our lunch was fantastic. We sat outside on the cute front patio and enjoyed dining in the sun, protected from by the black and white striped umbrellas. I had a glass of Chablis which was nice along with the endive salad and the omelette. Everything was perfect. My husband had the burger which was one of the best we’d had in a while. Fries were good too. 10/10 recommend. Can’t wait to go back.
