We literally stumbled upon this place on the way to our turn-of-the-entry (20th) hotel. We saw La Gare just in the next block as we arrived late to the Hotel La Rose in Santa Rosa. La Gare means the station in French so we decided it would probably be a French restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised when we saw a... More

Simply wonderful. The Beef Wellington is the best I've ever had. More

With the lights somewhat brighter than needed and the uncushioned wooden chairs, this place is reminiscent of so many auberges that we've enjoyed in the French countryside.
