Evangeline

Evangeline is a classic French Bistro where you will find all the staples: from Chicken & Waffles to French Onion Soup. All of the menus (Brunch, Lunch, Dinner) feature dishes you would definitely expect at a French Bistro restaurant, but I did find the Brunch menu to be a bit lacking when it came to starters and cocktails. Regardless of the small variety, I would highly recommend the Grapefruit Paloma which is a perfect way to quench your thirst in the Calistoga heat. I do have to note that the prices for some of the dishes are not competitive when looking at some other similar restaurants in the surrounding area. The restaurant has a beautiful outdoor area that is perfect for any occasion; just fair warning - there is a good amount of flies and bees around so if you are allergic/scared, then I would definitely recommend sitting inside. This is definitely one of the better restaurants in downtown Calistoga.

People are incredibly friendly and polite. The food and drinks are delicious. My wife had the king salmon and I had the pork shoulder. We had a grilled avocado on bread for an appetizer that was OK. The patio is very private and there is a ton of jasmine growing in the trellis which makes everything smell wonderful.

The cauliflower appetizer and beet appetizer were excellent. Ordered the risotto for the entree and it was absolutely tasteless. Almost thought there must have been a mistake in the kitchen and they missed the seasoning step.

Always delicious and great service. My only complaint is that my mom asked for a glass of seltzer w/ lime and she got a whole bottle for $8. Seemed a bit excessive. Other than that, all good!
