Bistro Jeanty - Review - Yountville - Yountville - The Infatuation

"Bistro Jeanty is a dining institution and a must-visit for anyone who dreams in steak frites and coq au vin. With bright yellow walls and country-inspired finds—like a bicycle with a basket filled with baguettes—it would be easy to find a trendier option, but then you’ll be sad to have missed out on the simple yet indulgent menu of buttery comfort dishes: escargot, steak tartare, and the best chocolate croissant bread pudding in Napa. This spot transforms based on the occasion. It’s perfectly suited for a low-lit romantic dinner, or for talking shop with colleagues you’re passing through town with. There’s also an extensive wine list, but lean on their talented bartenders—the cocktail menu includes dessert-flavored options like brandy alexanders and salted-caramel espresso martinis. If you’re here during the colder months, the tomato soup with billowing puff pastry is one of their most popular, can’t-miss dishes." - Jasmine Alexandra

The 16 Best Restaurants In Yountville

"When it comes to French bistros in Yountville, there’s pretty stiff competition, but Bistro Jeanty is easily one of the top three. It’s located in the heart of the action and is a great all-purpose spot that works for pretty much anything from a group lunch, to a date, business meeting, or walk in between wine tastings. Look forward to one of the best tomato soups in a bread bowl you’ve ever had, along with delicious, garlicky mussels, and perfect bistro french fries that’ll make you want to grab a beret and settle in for the night.

"French Chef Philippe Jeanty first came to the US back in the '70s to work in the first Moët & Chandon restaurant in Napa, and he's been in the valley ever since. His eponymous bistro in downtown St. Helena is French country in the best, most quaint way—sit on the idyllic outdoor patio. "

Bistro Jeanty is Amazing! NEIL the GM is the EXCEPTIONAL Manager who truly brings an extra sparkler to the atmosphere. He is engaging, warm and friendly, and he is so welcoming that you look forward to going back. Our server was phenomenal so was all of his back up support team . We really missed not being able to order the beef cheek stew with mashed potatoes, carrots, and peas. We also miss the bone marrow appetizer. We also missed having the great green most delicious salad dressing Chef had ever made. That was also not on the menu then to top it all off. We really really miss not getting the rice pudding with cherries. Everything we did have was quite delicious . We will be back, especially if they get our favorites back on the menu !!!

Bistro Jeanty blew me away—hands down the best tomato soup I’ve ever had, rich and comforting like a warm hug in a bowl. The ratatouille was fresh and flavorful, while the sole with lemon was simply divine—light, delicate, and perfectly balanced. And don’t even get me started on the Nutella crème brûlée—it was an unforgettable sweet finale, silky and indulgent. Service was friendly and attentive, though a bit slow, but honestly, the food was so worth the wait. A truly special spot that I’ll be dreaming about until my next visit!

We have always had a great time when we dined at Bistro Jeanty. Today, they were no different. We were at the patio because we brought our dogs with us. While the specials were so enticing, some ordered the BJ classics - the sole meiniere, the modules a la Normande, Wagyu steak frites with Bearnaise sauce. But, they also offered some classic egg dishes for brunch. So, one of us ordered the Salmon Benedict. For the specials, we chose the roasted escargot on bone marrow with Bordelaise sauce and toasted baguette slices, and the Mediterranean Sea bass with clams, mussels, zucchini, and fingerling potatoes in a Bouillabaise sauce. For starters, we chose from their lovely salads - Salade Maraichere (haricot vertes, frisée, roasted tomatoes, goat cheese), the salade Betteraves (beets, arugula, orange, and goat cheese). For dessert, we had the crepe Suzette and some coffee. What a lunch!

Very good French restaurant in Napa Valley. Good wines and great food, great service. My fish was huge and soft and moist. Escargot was hot and good with wine. I want to come back soon.

Flawless evening started with a warm welcome at reception and continued throughout the evening. Our waiter (Austin) was amazing…. no attitude, didn’t rush us and was competent and friendly. The wine, entrees and dessert were delicious. Portions are generous and ambiance is authentic French bistro (relaxed and comfortable). We will definitely be back!

The food was So Delicious. Great customer service and atmosphere. The Cassoulette was very Tasty. My wife loved the Sole, one of the best she's ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I have not had French cuisine in a while so it was fun diving into it. We ordered the Duck Liver Mousse, Steak Tartar, Escargot, and the Tomato Soup with Puff Pastry. I liked the escargot for the rich oily sauce it was in and the creamy tomato soup. The puff pastry in the soup topped it off perfectly because of the texture and the butteriness. Everything else was just standard tasting. For the desserts we ordered the Crepe Suzette and the Apple Tart. The Crepe Suzette was perfect and so good! Not too sweet and light. The apple tart was okay, the crust was super hard and all crust and no apple. It was a nice place to try. The ambiance is cozy and the service was nice. The food was good, but nothing I would crave other than the Creamy Tomato Soup and Crepe Suzette. Definitely try this place and make your own judgement.

This place has a great atmosphere and superior service (professionals). Wow the Tomato Soup stole the show….both unique and delicious in a way no other tomato soup ever was… Don’t get me wrong the steak was solid, the mussels too above average…. But the beautiful tomato soup stole the show!

My wife and I went to Bistro Jeanty last night for her birthday dinner. We had an amazing time. We started the evening with the duck liver mousse with brioche toasts. I was wonderful. The texture wemas smooth and creamy with the taste of cognac. We split the warm goat cheese salad with haricot verts. It was great as well with an excellent vinaigrette. For entrees we ordered the rabbit pasta and the seafood volavant. The seafood was really fresh in a ligh cream sauce with a little mushroom. The puff pastry was flaky and soaked up the sauce. The rabbit was good but not great. It was flat. It needed a shot of acid and salt. The leg was tender and excellent. The loin was a little dry. The service was efficient and attentive. Overall a great evening out. I highly recommend it

If you're in Napa Valley and craving a transportive, soul-warming meal, Bistro Jeanty CURRENT is a must. From the charming French countryside facade to the elegant table setup with golden lamps and a pepper mill that means business -- the ambiance is both romantic and relaxed. What We Loved: * Heirloom Tomato Salad: Bursting with color and flavor, kissed with olive oil and grated cheese. * Steak Tartare: Served with a rich yolk and crisp crostini -- bold, fresh, and luxurious. * Veal Kidneys: Decadent and creamy with whole-grain mustard sauce, resting on a cloud of mashed potatoes. * Rabbit with Pappardelle: Earthy mushrooms, spring peas, and fall-off-the-bone tender rabbit. * Crêpes Suzette: Flambéed tableside -- citrusy, buttery, and unforgettable. We paired it with Hennessy and G.E. Massenez Poire -- adding just the right touch of indulgence. The garden-side patio felt like a hidden bistro in the French countryside. Jenny S., our server, was kind and attentive without rushing us -- we lingered and savored every bite. Tip: Come hungry. And stay a while.

We came here for my birthday back in April and had a lovely time. Our server was the kindest and sweet man. When my fiance mentioned we were there to celebrate my birthday, our server took the time to make me feel extra special. I got their alternative to foie gras (our server said something about California not allowing the actual thing) and it was pretty delicious. I got mussels in a white sauce for my main entree. I think I was hoping for a richer broth, but it was still really good. My fiance devoured his croque monsieur and the soup he got. This place is so charming. It's has an old French vibe that really adds to the whole thing. Inside it quite unassuming and cute as well. When we were done with the meal our server insisted on giving me a small treat to celebrate even if we were too stuffed for dessert. He brought me some vanilla ice cream and it made me feel beyond special. If you're in town, I'd recommend eating here.

We love this restaurant so much that we came back here for our first night in Napa. I love the French vibes and music and everything that reminds me of France. They don't have the octopus salad this time so I'm having the salmon fume Maisono Very veryyyyy disappointing:(

We came here on a Saturday night, made a reservation for 8pm and was able to be seated a little earlier around 7:45pm which was amazing. There is indoor/outdoor seating and we sat indoors. I let the hostess know that we had a small child with us (around 2 years old) and that we would need a high chair. This was where I felt odd (sort of discriminated) as she told me that the table was unwilling to accomodate the high chair without it interfering with other guests' experience. I was like sure whatever, and went to the car to let my dad know. We came back in and a different waiter sat us and when we asked about the high chair again he said no problem and put it in for us and I was so confused but glad it worked out anyway. Onion soup - 7/10, it was so salty I couldn't finish it all, I ended up pouring some water in it to dilute it a bit. I think the saltiness was off due to the beef stock/cheese/additional salt that was added Coq au vin - 9/10, this was pretty good, chicken was super tender and the flavor was there Sole meuniere - 10/10, this was so good and the mashed potatoes complimented the fish perfectly! Buttered egg noodles with parmesan - 8/10, we ordered this mainly for the child but I ended up eating some too, it was honestly a good pairing with the chicken. Overall food was good, hostess was meh in the beginning but the waiters/waitresses improved the experience. It was my first time in Napa and wanted to try French food in Yountville but perhaps will look somewhere else next time (and without any children haha).

What a gem of a restaurant!!! Great service, nice outdoor seating (didn't go inside), and epic execution of the entrees. Again, full disclosure, this was after 3 wineries and champagne across the street, and the details are fuzzy, but I do remember that all of the food was phenomenal. I'd love to go back with zero alcohol in my system to get a full experience.

Still super fab place to dine. Still great and friendly service. Started with Crême de Tomate en Croute (Tomato soup in puff pastry). It's smooth, creamy, has a slight tang, and just really good, especially with the puff pastry! Then we had Mediterranean Sea bass with clams and mussels special. It was nice but I'd recommend the normal Moules à la Normande (Mussels, steamed in cider w/ creme fraiche & grilled bread) instead. But the dinner winner was the rack of lamb! Four decently sized pieces. Perfectly booked with a delicious sauce. I did not like the au gratin potatoes though, but it's because I'm not a fan of blue cheese. I love the reactant itself. Country elegant. But can get a little loud.

Oooohhh, went a little fancy yesterday. My friend who lives near Napa Valley drove me around and took me out to lunch at this French joint. We didn't have a reservation but they let us dine from the bar. She had Bœuf bourguignon while I chose Sole Meunier. Highly recommended. Service was pleasant. Prices were a bit high but hey, it's authentic French cuisine.

This was one of the few times that a restaurant left me truly speechless in one of the best ways. First and foremost, the restaurant was so cozy inside. It almost felt like you were inside of a French cottage on the countryside. You are completely transformed the moment you step inside the restaurant. My friend and I ordered a variety of items to share and proceeded to make yummy noises throughout the entire meal lol. From the crab risotto with puff pastry to the scalloped potatoes with frisée, this was a one-of-a-kind meal that I will not forget. The wait staff were great and regularly checked in on us and allowed us to stay a little while longer and enjoy our company before paying. Overall, I have mentioned this restaurant to a few people and I i'm looking forward to returning in the near future.

Our favorite place to eat when we go to Napa. Standouts include the tomato bisque, mussels, and petrale sole. I could drink the mussel broth straight up. The creme brûlée is also thick and decadent. You won't be disappointed if you go here! Way better than Bouchon up the road.

Authentic ambiance, reminds me of dining in France. We ordered the following for a party of 3 (make a rez ahead of time!): - Bone marrow w/ escargots (5/5): plump marrow, wish there were more escargot - sweetbreads (3/5): pastry part tastes stale or overcooked, not flaky - butter lettuce (3/5): a few pieces of large butter lettuce dressed in special mustard sauce, expensive for what it is - crispy pigs feet (5/5): nicely cooked, tender, great sauce - cassoulet (5/5): classic, well cooked, large portion - beef borgoignon (3/5): flavor was severely lacking, needed some thick wine reduction and hint of acidity, just tasted very watery. Beef pieces were cooked well but carrots were hard - rabbit (5/5): excellent, loved the legs - profiteroles (4/5): switched with salted ice cream instead of vanilla and it was so good - crepe Suzette (5/5): love the grand marnier sauce on thin crepe As for wine we bought a couple of nicer French reds: - chateau pontet-canet pauillac 2018 (5/5): $400 bottle and paired well with all the rich foods, wish it was decanted for a few hours ahead of time - chateau latour pauillac de latour 2018 (4/5): lighter than the first, should have had this with appetizers and also needed some decanting Overall service was spot on. Got a couple of bottles of San pellegrino that runs $9 each. Lots of people brought wines so we might do that next time - the somms bring out a nice decanter for those vs in house bottles.

Great to be back at Bistro Jeanty! We were seated in the enclosed outdoor patio that had warmers that kept us toasty. Love the Parisian signage. The ambience made you feel like you're in Paris! Service was amazing! We had Gina who was such a delight. She was friendly and full of charm. She told us all the specials with great precision, and she gave wonderful suggestions. We ordered so many beautiful dishes. Everything was delicious! For cocktails, we had: Cosmo Aviation Adrienne For starters, we had: - Crême de Tomate en Croute - warms the soul. - Coeur de Laitue - excellent light salad. - Parfait de Foie Blond - fantastic! - Pied de Cochon à la Moutarde - my favorite! For our entrees, we ordered: - Croque Madame - Coq au Vin with Buttered Noodles & Parmesan - Dungeness Crab & Asparagus Risotto with Whiskey Sauce All these dishes were beautifully plated! Almost too pretty to eat! Such a fun place to go for brunch or lunch! We'll be back.

"To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art." -- François de La Rochefoucauld It is a cool but sun shiny January day here in the Napa Valley. The grapevines quietly sleeping as they hang empty over bits of green grass forming the familiar rows. Here I sit in this absolute gem. The wonderful and memorable Bistro Jeanty. This bistro is known for French country dishes like Cassoulet, Steak tar tar and Coq a Vin. This restaurant is the first one I suggest for anyone coming here to visit. Today I enjoyed the salad Lyonaisse with its brioche croutons and pork lardons to start. Best salad. Next is the special for Restaurant month, crab and asparagus risotto (pictured). It's a luscious dish. Not to be missed! I finished with a taste of the rice pudding and cappuccino. Amazing meal!!! Service here is always wonderful. I always make a reservation.

We came for lunch while spending our anniversary weekend in Napa along with our dog. We were able to sit outside in the patio with our pup. The patio space directly faces the parking lot, and is slightly on the more narrow side- may not be ideal for folks who are considering bringing larger dogs. Our server Gina was great- very attentive, friendly, and so sweet to our pup. I would definitely recommend making a reservation in advance. My husband and I shared the following items: - Croque madame: delicious, love the Camembert sauce. Came with a generous serving of shoestring fries, which were really crisp and fried to perfection. - Mussels w/ side of fries: always a staple at any French bistro. Really enjoyed the cider that the mussels were steamed in. Very light and delicate, not too overwhelming. We ordered a side of fries with this, but it was totally unnecessary because the fries that were served with the croque madam were more than enough for the two of us (see pics). - Truffle aioli: my husband ordered this not knowing that it was $7 for a small dish of it. It really was not necessary, and I probably would not recommend- we ended up dipping most of our fries into the mussels cider broth.

You hear the name Bistro Jeanty whispered like gospel in Napa. Reverent tones. Locals swear by it. Michelin once gave it a nod. James Beard's fingerprints are all over it. And there it sat, smug and welcoming, just across the street from our hotel like it knew we'd eventually give in. French country cuisine? Yes, please. The rich stuff. The beautifully buttery, wine-braised, cream-laden decadence that reminds you why the French still win the culinary war. We walked in early, first ones there, and were greeted by what felt like half the staff. A warm welcome. A perfectly placed two-top on the patio. A promising start. Service was sharp. Friendly. On point. We began with the escargot, hyped to death by everyone from sommeliers to Uber drivers. But when the plate hit the table, the truth followed. They were flat. Lifeless. The garlic and butter barely showed up to the party. Bouchon, the night before, did them better. Way better. Then came the redemption arc: soup. That tomato soup, cloaked in a golden puff pastry like a royal secret, was sublime. Creamy, tangy, rich. Comfort in a bowl. Sylvia's French onion? Good, not great. Melty cheese, dark broth, but something was missing. Maybe soul. For mains, the classic played the hits. Beef bourguignon. A generous portion, heavy with chunks of tender beef, smoked bacon, and veggies that knew their role. It started muted, but as it cooled, the wine sauce found its groove and began to sing. Not a new song, but a beloved one. The sea bass, though, phoned it in. Sloppily plated and underwhelming, especially when you're expecting finesse. Dessert was a bridge too far. We were full, slightly dazed, sipping Brown Zinfandel and watching the world blur by from our patio perch. Final verdict? Bistro Jeanty is good. Maybe even very good. But not transcendent. Not the Parisian back alley that changes your life. For all the acclaim, it didn't quite make us believers. And when it comes to French food, especially in a place this proud, that should matter.

First off, I'd like to declare I'm not typically a fan of overly decadent, buttery food. But this casual upscale cafe located in the heart of Yountville was delightful. There were a few options that sounded appealing and I narrowed it down between the Boeuf Bourguignon (short rib) or the Cassoulet but our waitress came with the glowing recommendation of cassoulet so here we are. This was packed full of beans with a duck confit leg, large sausage, and some apple smoked bacon tucked underneath. Definitely a hearty meal, but not overly salty/greasy/oily/etc. The rest of the table had some Coq au Vin + buttered egg noodle combo, which was apparently delicious, along with some appetizers. Waitstaff was incredibly attentive and polite - highly recommend coming here. Expansive menu and great selection.

Celebrating something special? Like friends visiting? Take them to France in Yountville. The Bistro is totally in the French style right down to white tablecloths and lace curtains. The patio is especially pleasant. On my most recent visit, my guests and I discovered the most wonderful dirty martini ever served. Bread is served with French butter you could eat right off the knife. But use the bread. Tomato soup in puff pastry is something you definitely want to try. Every dish is lovely, and I'm partial to the sole. What a wonderful way to spend a memorable afternoon with loved ones.

Fantastic food, excellent service, and at a great location for lunch, it's a great place to visit when you go to Napa Valley! Not far from Chandon's it's a quick and easy stop off the highway and a great location. We sat outside in the shade and had incredible service. It was busy but reasonably quiet and very relaxing. Each of the servings were awesome- I had the Mussels which are fantastic (some of the best I have had outside of Brussels). It's a must stop if you are hungry!

I have walked this restaurant for two years. It appears small on the outside however much lager and intimate on the inside. Service was exceptional. My wife had Sole Meunière and I had tomato soup in a puff pastry no very good. They have an extensive wine list as well. Thanks to the Manager Neil Robinson for coming by multiple times striking up conversations and making sure everything was to our liking Thanks

Probably not how I wanted to start off this review, but I'm thankful to all the staff who helped us during a medical emergency while dining at Bistro Jeanty. Thank you for taking care of us and checking in to make sure we were okay. The cold towel and carbonated water really helped. As for the food, it speaks for itself. We ordered escargots, steak frites, and the mussels. The mussels were delicious, and the white wine sauce was to die for. Recommend asking for more bread to finish the sauce up after you finish the mussels. My only feedback however is how little the escargots were because they were so delicious. The marinade was made to perfection and it was piping hot. Highly recommend these as your appetizers. Overall, would recommend if you're in Napa and definitely book your reservations in advance. The chances of you walking in are very slim, especially on the weekends. The space is intimate and romantic. A great place to dine and celebrate that special occasion.

Nice and small bistro with great food. The rabbit dish is very good and the meat is very tender. My wife really likes her seabass dish. The sauce is light like soup. We also like both appetizer the goat cheeses salad and the bone marrow with escargot. Doesn't taste heavy at all. The service is also very good and the manager came by to check and chat. Good place for a date.

Our server was great, he reminded us of Richie from the show The Bear. I informed him that I'm gluten free and he let me know to ask for no croutons for the french onion soup. We sat at the outdoor patio and it was very nicely heated for a December evening dinner. For dessert, we shared the creme brulee and this was delicious. I think they layer some chocolate pudding on top, then they torch the sugar on top of this. I loved the frites, they were nicely seasoned and cooked. What we didnt love as much was the escargot. We never had this, glad we tried it, but wouldnt have it again. My partner also got the stewed beef dish that has bacon in it and did not enjoy it. I got the chicken breast dish with the mushroom sauce and this came with a heaping mountain of mashed potatoes which was great. The mushroom sauce was delicious too. However it also came with this berry sauce and this was whack.

Went here for a lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We had a reservation and were seated right away. The interior is charming and has a lot of French themed pictures and art. It's cozy inside, but it can get quite loud. The server explained all the brunch items and specials and we ordered some drinks. In the end we decided to go with the pate, the escargots and the crab and asparagus risotto. Really enjoyed the pate with the Cornichons, good flavor and texture and they give you a jar with lots of extra Cornichons which was great. Escargots were also good, appreciated that they already took them out of the shell. Always enjoy dipping the bread in the garlic parsley butter afterwards. The risotto also had good flavor, but could have used more crab meat and wasn't as creamy as other risottos we had in the past. Overall still a great experience and would definitely be back to try more dishes.

Such a delectable experience ! I was in town for work for two weeks and we came back multiple times to try as much of the menu as we could ! Bistro Jeanty came highly recommended from guests who stopped by my work- they mentioned this soup with a pastry top that people fly in to try! It was absolutely delicious- ironically, while we were seated at the restaurant, a couple seated next to us mentioned they also had flown in for the same soup! The entrees were incredible, the desserts were beautiful and the beef was so simple but the flavors were so developed, there was such a depth to the richness in the freshness of the vegetables. Ambiance is adorable inside and quaint and outdoors there were flowers in bloom it was beautiful. The service was excellent and we came in during non-busy hours and we're seated immediately. It was wonderful. Another time we made a reservation just in case ! Absolutely would recommend

After going to dinner last night (7/8/25) and spending an extraordinary amount of money on food and wine, I got food poisoning. Had the tomato bisque and sea bass stew and was sick all night vomiting after getting back to the hotel two hours later. My husband went to the bathroom and after using the toilet lowered the seat/lid down and the entire thing fell completely off the commode.

We dined here for lunch after wine tasting at cakebread and it was a perfect stop. The cocktails were fabulous and a nice switch up. The fries were delicious and my fiancé loved his steak. It was cooked perfectly. I had the tomato soup in the puff pastry and that was delicious as well. We split a creme brûlée and an espresso martini for dessert. Our waitress, Tara, was very knowledgeable on all menu items and was so kind. She checked in on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed, despite it being a busy Sunday afternoon. The amazing service, delicious cuisine, and fun cocktails will definitely bring us back to Bistro Jeanty again.

The server will try to upsell you fries and pasta, be aware. They should be more transparent with their pricing, at least show that as side dishes.

Great until is wasn't. Don't bother being seated after 8 PM, you will be disappointed. Our start at Jeanty was nice. Quaint french decor. We had a reso at 8:30, thery were a bit late and sat us at 8:45. First table was directly under an AC vent blowing 60 degree air on my wife. We were resat at a table across the room. From there things went smoothly, attentive service. Had the cheese plate and escargot, very nice. Mains were rack of lamb, mussels, steak frites and boeuf bourguignon. Had the ratatouille as a side, yum. Bourguignon was a little tough. The sommelier was great! We were sat at 8:45 and by 9:55 we had reached dessert time. 70 minutes was not a lot of time to eat at Jeanty or any 3 course dining experience. At 9:55PM, there were two tables in our room occupied, the staff loudly started ripping the paper table coverings off the rest of the tables, loudly pulling chairs around the floor. They were making noise for a reason. At 10 PM they flickered the lights of and on, not once but 4 times over 5 minutes. It was a clear sign to get up and get out. My wife and I were horrified at this behavior. If you want to shut down at 10PM, then don't seat at 8:45 PM. Have the courtesy to foreworn your guests the restaurant intends to close inside 2 hr of the guest's seating time whether its guests are done , or not. Simply put, it was rude. Very poor customer service.

This place was highly recommended by our wine guide when in Napa. We made reservations for dinner our first night. It's a cute little French bistro. We were seated towards the back at a cozy table. Our waiter was great. Ordered drinks and then the tomato soup, pate, steak and pasta. Food came hot and smelled so good! Everything was so good but the tomato soup hands down the best I've ever had! I would come back here just for that! Great spot, a must for when in Napa and Younteville

My bf and I were looking for a place to eat in Napa and were able to make a reservation to this place for same day dining ! We arrived a few hours later and seated immediately. ordered : (4/5) - ratatouille : this dish was good, but it wasn't amazing. - escargo: the escargo was cooked perfectly and was nicely buttered with flavor. paired nice with the bread! - French onion soup: as someone who doesn't like French onion soup, this soup was pretty good! It was super cheesy and had a good about of bread in it. ** The complimentary bread they give is cold and hard, which was slightly unpleasant to eat service: (5/5) the service was really nice and gave us some good recommendations for wine pairings. Our server often checked up and offered bread. vibe: (5/5) The outdoor seating is super nice on a good day! This place is great for friends, family, or on a date! parking: Free connected parking . overall: I love the vibes of this place and would come back to try out other dishes!!

Food is always consistent. We have yet to have any bad experiences in the last 15+yrs dining there. They always have the sweetest server that's at your beckoned nod(not calls...they seem to know exactly when to come by). We always enjoy both the indoor and outdoor dining...on a perfect weather it's best to be doing the outdoor dining with all their pretty climbing roses bushes. We always look forward to make a quick stop in when we're in town.

Best French restaurant we have visited in Napa. Everything was authentic and full of flavor. The wait staff was very attentive and made great suggestions for my wife and myself. The decoration makes you feel like you're in a little French brassiere in France. The escargot was fantastic, tender and garlicky. Ratatouille was some of the best I've ever had and use the leftovers to make a great frittata the next day at home! Big portions, big flavors and great service. We will definitely be back and recommend.

Delicious. We shared the escargot. I had the rabbit. Hubbie had the tartare with fries. Creme brulee for dessert. Atmosphere is lovely. Guy behind me was obnoxious. Server was nice, but very odd.

I made an early dinner reservation at 5:45pm here on a week day, and we got to sit outside under the nice, covered patio. It wasn't too busy when we arrived, but by the time we left, most of the tables outside were full. Right off the bat, the service was incredible. From the hostess to our servers, everyone was friendly and attentive. I will say the dishes were a bit hit or miss for me. I personally didn't like the two dishes I ordered, but I greatly enjoyed the dishes my friends ordered. For me, the tomato soup in the puff pastry (Crême de Tomate en Croute) was way too creamy and the puff pastry just did not pair well with the soup (I would have rather just gotten bread on the side). I also ordered a side dish of ratatouille, which had too many peppers and not enough seasoning. That being said, I loved the Moules à la Normande (the cider the mussels were cooked in was delicious) as well as the side dish of Gratin Dauphinois.

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.

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.

This restaurant offers fabulous French cuisine with a classic French bistro charm. The service is always super friendly and the meals never disappoint. My family's been coming here for years and we continue to be impressed by the food and recommend it to others every chance we get. Some classics you should try your first visit: steak frites, salad lyonnaise, quiche and cassoulet

The cutest and most quaint French restaurant in Yountville! Our dining experience consisted of a bottle of red wine, from home, 2 appetizers, steak tartare and escargots, our entrees, mussels w/ frites, and cassoulet. My dessert was the espresso martini and it was done to perfection. Highly recommend Bistro Jeanty whenever you're in Napa Valley!

We had a great experience here. Only complain: menu is way too long. I love having options but it was rather overwhelming. So I just picked a salad and didn't even realize what comes in it. Ambience: The restaurant is very cozy and definitely gives you the French vibe. The outdoor area looked very nice as well. Service: our waiter was very nice. He was attentive but also left us alone to enjoy our meal. Food: overall everyone enjoyed their meals. - Onion soup: pretty standard dish and it tasted good. - Potatoes & cheese: heavy but so delicious and flavorful. - Fries: Thin, soft and yet crispy. Enjoyed it. - Beet salad: Looked good to me and our friend seemed to enjoy it. She couldn't add any meat options though so she ended up ordering a 2nd salad to get some sashimi pieces. - Salad: don't remember the name but didn't realize it's mostly beans. Again menu was very overwhelming and hard to understand. Enjoyed the warm goat cheese on top though. - Salad: we ordered another salad with sashimi pieces on it. I didn't get to try but it looked good and our friends enjoyed it.

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!!!

great portion of the food! Price is very reasonable considering you are in Yountville. We love the beef tartare, crispy pig feet!

Had an incredible lunch at Bistro Jeanty; highly recommend stopping by if you're staying in or passing through Yountville. Both the tomato soup and the French onion soup were the highlights for us!

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!
