Story

Executive Chef Justin Cogley’s and Pastry Chef Yulanda Santos’ cooking philosophy is built first and foremost on spontaneity. With access to an array of outstanding local products as well as ingredients and artisan purveyors from around the world, Cogley and Santos focus on incorporating these elements into their ever-changing menus.

The Chef’s Tasting Menu, which changes daily, is designed by the chef and is drawn from a list of up to 20 ultra-seasonal ingredients that may appear as either a main component of a dish or as an accompaniment. Integral to the Chef’s Tasting Menu are the elements of surprise and spontaneity: each dish is a natural progression in flavor and reflects the chef’s imaginative artistry and ability to create a gastronomic journey from 20 pristine ingredients. For a supplement, course-by-course wine pairing are chosen specifically for each course.

This is for the restaurant - spectacular meal. The menu is a multi-course tasting menu with wonderful wine pairings and optional cheese service. When Michelin guide manages to go South of San Francisco this place will get a star. The food is creative and masterful - with dishes varying with the seasons and what is fresh and available. The service is exquisite and the wine was thoughtfully paired from vineyards you probably haven't heard of but will love with each dish. To set expectations the space is small but not cramped, parking is not easy and this is not a cheap meal. That said it is a wonderful culinary experience and a great spot to celebrate.

Charming. Every staff member we came across during our stay was helpful and polite. Our room was very clean (and I am very particular) and we had a hand written note on our bed from the manager, thanking us for choosing L'Auberge. We went out to dinner and returned with fresh oatmeal cookies in our room. (I am a baker and these were delicious). Breakfast in the morning was just the right size. I only wish the pastry had been hot or at least warm when it was served. So I gave the breakfast B-. Would I go again? Absolutely! It is a small boutique hotel which we love and so quiet. Also, you are able to walk to everything. Beach, restaurants, etc.

An exceptional experience. First, the staff...what can I say?!?! They make you feel like royalty. Which is what you want for such a fine dining experience. It all starts before you arrive, when you get a call asking if there are any dietary restrictions and whatnot. Every single person was extremely friendly, and extremely professional. Second, the food. Holy $**t it was beyond amazing. I never thought an asparagus dish could blow my mind! I'm really at a loss for words in explaining the culinary delights. Third, and lastly, the wine. Again, ridiculously amazing. We did the premium pairings. Another delight. The sommelier was extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the wines that were selected. Also, very interesting selections. Very worldly. Ideal pairings. Totally worth the cost. Overall, a wonderful experience. My wife and I were blown away.

It's quite a nice place, with excellent service. Lacking in some facilities you might want, such as pool and spa facilities. Didn't try the restaurant so can't comment on that. Although valet parking is free, it's a bit of a pain to have to wait for your car, you'd think they could do a deal with city hall next door to use their parking lot.
