Auro

Auro - Review - Calistoga - Calistoga - The Infatuation

"Auro is a flavor fever dream that surprises, but doesn’t overwhelm. The restaurant inside the Four Seasons Calistoga is turning out seven courses that might include melt-in-your-mouth honey-encrusted milk bread, one-bite wonders you’ll want to eat over and over again, and a sea of desserts that look like mini art. The team draws inspiration from around the world, so expect airy blue corn masa and rich, chocolately notes from Mexico, and sharp acidity and umami characteristic of Japan. You’ll practically slurp up the garlic mojo verde sauce that pools around the Harakami bluefin tuna rose. If you’re looking for impeccable service that isn’t stuffy, Auro is the perfect place to go for date night or to celebrate—there’s champagne on arrival, and an entire kitchen staff ready to pause service to give you a personal shout-out.

"Soak up the bucolic splendor of Napa’s northern reaches at the Four Seasons resort, the ideal setting for this au courant embodiment of classic Wine Country fine dining. Thanks to skills honed in some of the Bay Area’s most notable kitchens, Chef Rogelio Garcia displays a distinctly Californian perspective, using precise technique in order to highlight exceptional ingredients—most of which are sourced locally, including from on-site gardens. Whether it’s a 10-day dry-aged shima aji with sliced mountain rose apple slices and a tableside pour of mandarinquat aguachile, or the chef's signature tetela served over foraged black trumpet and maitake mushrooms, each dish is finely tuned and harmonious. Add in warm hospitality, and here is a meal that strikes a golden balance between modern tastes and old-school luxury." - Michelin Inspector
