I enjoyed a delicious Saturday Lunch at Bistro Jeanty with my wife, and 4 of our dear friends during a wonderful day of wine tasting in Yountville. I wish we could have tried everything on the menu, but alas! There was just too much! My wife and I started the meal by sharing the Quenelles de Brochet - Pike dumplings with lobster sauce. They were simply marvelous! My most sincere apologies for abstaining from sharing a photo of these delectable pillows of flavor, but they were gobbled up before I remembered to take a pic. My wife ordered the Moules à la Normande - Mussels, steamed in cider with crème fraiche & grilled bread, and she loved them. I had a bite, and they were some of the best mussels I have ever had. I enjoyed the Entrecôte Frites - Wagyu flat iron steak with fries & béarnaise sauce, medium rare of course. I could not have been more delighted. The beef was tender, and the fries were fried to perfection. Our server was kind, attentive, and very quick to help us with everything. I wish I could remember his name because I would love to be in his section the next time i'm there. And there for sure will be a next time. As far as the ambiance, for lunch, it was pretty nice! I have been to Paris once, and I can honestly say it looks very much like a bistro on the Champs-Élysées. The only thing that I would complain about is our table, which was right next to the service station, where servers went to retrieve the food from the kitchen. I was constantly brushed up against by servers heading over there. I wish we could have moved the table a foot away from it, but I still give this place cinq étoiles!

I save my 5 Stars on Yelp for what I believe to be new and unique experiences that go beyond what I was expecting. Bistro Jeanty is one of the many French restaurants in Yountville but the one I consider to have the stronger tie with its affiliation to San Francisco. Most of the others have a tie to a lot of the California/French style restaurant Thomas Keller cuisines. As a stand-alone it always has had an appeal to be as a great Brunch location but made a switch and came for an early dinner. My dining partner liked the indoor ambiance instead of outdoors and we were greeted by our waiter Arthur, a Bay Area veteran when it comes to fine cuisine service. Professional, informative and great conversationalist. Not wanting to eat or drink too much as I was driving back to SF, I went with French classics of Escargot, Steak Tartare, Frites, a glass of wine and dessert. It was perfect. Light, unpretentious, and fun, Ted Danson was even sitting outside incognito. A great experience, I will be back.

What a delightful place to enjoy a classic French bistro meal! We sat on the patio on a warm June weekday for lunch. The service team was immediately welcoming, and our server was good-humored, so I felt that we were going to have a great time. Between the regular menu and the chalkboard specials, there were many options, so we assembled a collection of items for our party of three. Two standouts from the chalkboard were the sweetbreads and the crab souffle--rich and delicious. I'm a big fan of Sole Meunière, so when I see it, I order it. This one did not disappoint. The pace of the meal was relaxed yet attentive, and a great start to our afternoon in the wine country. I hope to return!

Another great evening of food and a super ambiance that make Wii feel both at home and in a bistro in Paris. We tried the tomato soup and as usual it was excellent. The pate with cornichons was excellent and is my fav! Lots of French bread.... Octopus special was ok. A little dry and no sauce. We asked for some and it was better but not great. Beet salad was excellent! I highly recommend this place!!!

Celebrated Mother's Day in the tony city of Yountville for my mom and my sister. What a pretty little town. I am unfamiliar with French food, even though I am big eater. Didn't know what Coq Au Vin was other than it contained braised chicken in a burgundy wine sauce. This guy said, "oui, oui, oui, oui" It was decadant. The rest of the family ordered things I could not pronounce, but smelled absolutely wonderful. Everything was delicious and I am now beginning to appreciate it. The only things I knew were the fries and bread (d'oh!). Service was excellent as our needy family pressed the patient staff into service. A tip of the cap to our server, sadly I forgot her name. For those who like the photos, here you go.

We started with the cassolette d'escargots. It consisted of ravioli covered with a rich sauce with escargot, garlic, and herbs, served in a little saucepan with two pieces of puff pastry on top. It was at this time that we were served a basket of bread with butter, though the sauce was great for dipping as well. We then got a coq au vin and lapin a la moutarde. The coq au vin was hearty and the chicken was seasoned well. The potatoes, mushrooms, and bacon added a lot of dimension to the dish. The lapin a la moutarde consisted of five pieces of pancetta-wrapped rabbit loin over a bed of pappardelle pasta. The sauce was creamy and went well with both the pasta and the rabbit pieces.

Dining at Bistro Jeanty was an experience. From the moment we walked up, we were transported to a charming corner of France. My friend brought her dog with us, and the outdoor seating area was perfect - vibrant flower pots surrounding a welcoming bench set the mood for a delightful afternoon. We had a reservation (highly recommend!), and the friendly host immediately seated us. Our server truly elevated the experience. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and daily specials, patiently guiding us through our choices. Her attentiveness was perfect - our water glasses were always full, and she even ensured my friend's dog had a fresh bowl of water. We started with appetizers, and the complimentary bread and butter were a delightful surprise. The bread, sourced from the Bouchon Bakery next door, was crusty and delicious, paired well with the perfectly salted butter. They were happy to bring us more when we devoured the first basket! Our appetizers were a true testament to French culinary mastery. The Quenelles de Brochet (pike dumplings) were light and crispy, swimming in a luxurious and creamy lobster sauce. My one friend got the escargots and loved it. My other friend ordered a salad (though I can't recall the exact type), which was fresh and perfectly seasoned with dressing and herbs. For the mains, we went all out! The Steak Frites Wagyu flat iron steak was a showstopper. Cooked to perfection, it was juicy and bursting with flavor. The béarnaise sauce was tangy and incredible, taking the steak to a whole new level. The fries were crispy, golden brown, and the portion size of both the steak and fries was generous. The Boeuf Bourguignon was also really good. Tender, melt-in-your-mouth short ribs were bathed in a rich and deeply savory sauce, the heart and soul of the dish. The red Burgundy wine base, simmered with aromatics, infused every bite with a symphony of flavors. My indecisiveness between the Sole Meunière and Steak Frites was charmingly handled by our server. She offered to bring me the lemon caper butter (free of charge!) on the side with my steak, allowing me to experience both flavors. This small gesture exemplified the exceptional service throughout our meal. The steak tartare was another highlight. The ground beef was naturally lean and tender, resulting in a smooth and luxurious texture. The raw egg yolk added a creamy counterpoint, and all the different textures and flavors came together in perfect harmony. Overall, I highly recommend Bistro Jeanty. From the charming atmosphere to the outstanding service and food, every detail is a testament to their dedication to excellence.

Bistro Jeanty in Yountville offers a delightful dining experience in a charming, rustic setting. During our visit, we indulged in a variety of exquisite dishes that truly showcased the restaurant's commitment to quality and traditional French cuisine. We started with the Salade de Langue D'Agneau (Warm Lamb Tongue Salad). This dish was a revelation, featuring tender lamb tongue pieces perfectly complemented by a mix of fresh greens, potatoes, and a tangy mustard dressing. The combination of textures and flavors made for a refreshing and memorable appetizer. Next, we enjoyed the Pan-Seared Scallops. These scallops were cooked to perfection, with a beautifully caramelized exterior and a tender, juicy center. They were served with a sweet pea coulis, mashed potatoes, and crispy onion rings, creating a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that delighted our taste buds. The Toasted Rabbit with Pancetta (Lapin à la Moutarde) was another standout. The rabbit was tender and flavorful, wrapped in crispy pancetta and served with pappardelle pasta, shiitake mushrooms, and a rich mustard sauce. This dish was a perfect example of how traditional French techniques can elevate simple ingredients into something truly special. For the main course, we had the Double Cut Veal Chop. This dish was a true masterpiece, featuring a succulent veal chop cooked to perfection and served with a creamy Camembert sauce, sautéed mushrooms, and a side of fresh greens. The veal was tender and juicy, and the sauce added a rich, creamy element that enhanced the overall flavor profile. To end our meal on a sweet note, we were treated to a complimentary serving of Vanilla Gelato. The gelato was incredibly smooth and creamy, with a rich vanilla flavor that was perfectly balanced. It was served with a delicate wafer, adding a nice crunch to each bite. Bistro Jeanty not only impressed us with its delicious food but also with its charming ambiance and attentive service. It's a must-visit spot in Yountville for anyone looking to experience authentic French cuisine in a cozy, welcoming setting. #BistroJeanty #YountvilleEats #FineDining #Foodie #GourmetExperience #WarmLambTongueSalad #PanSearedScallops #ToastedRabbit #DoubleCutVealChop #VanillaGelato #YountvilleDining #NapaValley #CulinaryDelights

What a fantastic meal after a day of wine tasting in Napa! It was my first time at this restaurant and I think even eating French food. I was not disappointed my friends and I all really enjoyed our meals and our waiter was friendly. The reason why I won't give this place five stars is that the seating was awful. We sat at a table outdoors, and the chairs were just uncomfortable and made for people who don't have a

Absolutely EXCELLENT! I love everything about this place. The food is magnificent and service is stellar! I've always wanted to dine here while visiting Yountville and this last Mother's Day, I didn't hesitate to book a reservation. I had set a reservation for two at 12:15 pm but Hubby and I arrived Mother's Day around 11:45 am and they sat us right away. We were greeted with a smile from literally everyone. I really admire how friendly and warm everyone is here. Especially Tara. She took the time to explain some specials and gave recommendations. She even asked if we were on a time constraint. Even though we weren't, I felt it was very thoughtful of her to ask in case we needed to move things along. We shared the bone marrow appetizer...so perfectly buttery and easy on the crispy bread. I absolutely recommend. Hubby really enjoyed his crab benedict, and I loved my crab and lobster soufflé. I had a side salad and I am so glad I did because that butter lettuce with the dressing is light and delicious. Pairs with anything meal! We had the creme brulee dessert and it was sweet but still a favorite! There is a small parking lot attached but fills up quickly. There is street parking but you may need to drive around a few times depending on the time of day. Even if you park further out, take a nice stroll on the way back. There were so many items to choose from that I cannot wait to come back. Thank you for a wonderful Mother's Day brunch!
