The Bistro at Auberge du Soleil at 180 Rutherford Hill Road, Rutherford, California.

First things first, TREMENDOUS VIEWS!!!! The entire experience really WORTH THE PRICE!

We went there last Saturday for $75 three courses brunch.

The entire experience starts from 1 cocktail/sparkling wine and pastries/breads. I ordered Bellini and my two friends had mimosa and sparkling wine. Not impressed by the Bellini which has only little hints of peach. Pastries are interesting, the rosemary one is a go-go.

First course we ordered: Ahi Tuna Tartare, Gnocchi, and Shrimp. All great! Love the gnocchi best. For tartare, they put seaweed salad as the lower layer base. Really interesting try.

Second course: my friends got Sonoma Chicken, Lobster omelet whereas I ordered more carbs...the Mint& Lemon Risotto. I am not a fan to white meat, but this chicken got me! It’s so soft and juicy even similar to the texture of firm tofu. The risotto is a little bit too salty though...

Desserts: we had pistachio ice cream and two different chocolate desserts. I like how they decorated the desserts. Too sweet to me even the dark chocolate but they used kumquat to balance out.

All in all, don’t eat anything before this brunch...really good portion sizes...
