frankly im baffled at the popularity of la gare, a french restaurant that has been around a long time but serves mediocre food. ive eaten there 2 or 3 times over the years and have never been impressed w/ the food.maybe its the lackluster presentation or the over sauced entrees or the menu which never changes but in my opinion... more

Has anyone else felt rushed?? I think the uncomfortable booths and chairs are so you don't stay long. We've been going there when we go to the wine country for 10 years, and it has never changed - decor, menu, etc. But, we go for the food. Maybe someday we'll have some other choices. The owners are not the most... more

For me, it opened up a whole new world. i would find a way to eat there 4-6 times a year when i lived in Petaluma. more

Every time we come back to California, we add 2 days to our trip so we can drive to Santa Rosa and eat 2 dinners at La Gare. We were born and raised in the San Francisco area and spent our entire life there until retiring in 2001 to Arizona. We can't understand how anyone could not rate this as... more

My wife and I took her parents her to celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary. It had been several years since our last visit, but we used to dine here 2-3 times a year. Sad to say that this latest visit will be our last. The ambiance is still great, but the decor is very dated and needs updating. Linens were... more
