Here's another one of my favorites, because its so heartwarming. The greatest part of this screenplay are the words "just as Ellie imagined it" because it makes me so happy to think that Carl finally was able to give Ellie what she wanted, and we also see that he is finally happy as well. And this has nothing to do with anything, but I love the word DIRIGIBLE for reasons I can't explain.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the Nobel Committee "acknowledges the idea of the European conciliation" and said the euro is more than a currency.
"We should not forget this -- in particular during these weeks and months, in which we are working to strengthen the euro."
"Six decades of peace in Europe: For those of us who live in the European Union, that's a long period of time," Merkel added. "It's merely the blink of an eye in the course of history, which is why we must never forget that we must again and again work, strain and strive for this peace, for democracy, for freedom."
Italians in Rome rallying Friday against government cuts to public education weighed in. One woman said the prize appears to be a "hope for the future."
Another woman said she was pleased but a bit surprised because the EU could have made stronger commitments to peace. And a man said the European economy is no longer "for the people."
"We are the economy that works in favor of the banks," he said.
This year's winner was picked from 231 different nominations -- 43 for organizations and the rest for individuals, the Nobel Committee said.
Last year's peace prize came as a surprise to many observers, split as it was among three women: Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and grassroots activist Leymah Gbowee, and Yemeni media freedom campaigner Tawakkul Karman, a symbol of the Arab Spring.
Johnson Sirleaf is one of many heads of state to have received the prize, including four U.S. presidents: Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama.
The Peace Prize is the fifth Nobel Prize to be awarded this week, preceded by honors in medicine, physics, chemistry and literature.
Other large organizations have won the Nobel Peace Prize, including the United Nations, Doctors Without Borders, U.N. peacekeeping forces, the U.N. atomic energy agency and the International Campaign to Ban Landmines.

Jack Lemmon Movies
A private school-educated everyman who could play outrageous comedy and wrenching tragedy, Jack Lemmon burst onto the movie scene as a 1950s Columbia contract player and remained a beloved star until his death in 2001. Whether through humor or pathos, he excelled at illuminating the struggles of average men against a callous world; as director Billy Wilder once noted, "There was a little bit of genius in everything he did." Born in 1925, the son of a Boston doughnut company executive, Lemmon was educated at Phillips Andover Academy and taught himself to play piano as a teen. A budding thespian by the time he entered Harvard, he was elected president of the famed Hasty Pudding Club. After his college career was briefly interrupted by a stint in the Navy at the end of World War II, Lemmon graduated from Harvard and headed to New York to pursue acting. By the early '50s, Lemmon had appeared in hundreds of live TV roles, including in the dramatic series Kraft Television Theater and Robert Montgomery Presents, as well as co-starring with first wife, Cynthia Stone, in two short-lived sitcoms. After Lemmon landed a major role in the 1953 Broadway revival of Room Service, a talent scout for Columbia Pictures convinced the actor to try Hollywood instead.
Defying Columbia chief Harry Cohn's demand that he change his last name lest the critics take advantage of it in negative reviews, Lemmon quickly made a positive impression in his first film, the Judy Holliday comic hit It Should Happen to You (1954) and quickly became a reliably nimble comic presence at Columbia. A loan out to Warner Bros. for the smash Mister Roberts (1955), however, truly began to reveal his ability. Drawing on his Navy memories to play the wily Ensign Pulver, Lemmon held his own opposite heavyweights Henry Fonda and James Cagney and won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his fourth film. A free-agent star by the end of the 1950s, he began one of his two most auspicious creative collaborations when writer/director Billy Wilder tapped him to play one of the cross-dressing musicians in the gender-tweaking comic classic Some Like It Hot (1959). As enthusiastically female bull fiddler Daphne to Tony Curtis' preening Lothario sax player Josephine, Lemmon danced a sidesplitting tango with millionaire suitor Joe E. Brown and delivered a sublime speechless reaction to Brown's nonchalant acceptance of his manhood. Fresh off a Best Actor nomination for Hot, he then gave an image-defining performance in Wilder's multiple-Oscar winner The Apartment (1960). As ambitious New York office drone C.C. Baxter, who climbs the corporate ladder by loaning his small one-bedroom to his philandering bosses, Lemmon was both the likeable cynic and beleaguered romantic, perfectly embodying Wilder's sardonic view of a venal world. Lemmon's turn as the put-upon quotidian schnook pervaded the rest of his career.
Determined to prove that he could play serious roles as well as comic, Lemmon campaigned to play Lee Remick's alcoholic husband in Blake Edwards' film adaptation of the teleplay Days of Wine and Roses (1962). Revealing the darker side of middle-class desperation, Lemmon earned still more critical kudos and another Oscar nomination. Despite this triumph, he returned to comedy, re-teaming with Wilder and The Apartment co-star Shirley MacLaine in Irma la Douce (1963). Though the love story between a Parisian prostitute and a cop-turned-lover in disguise was a lesser effort, Irma la Douce became a major hit for the trio. Continuing to display his skill at offsetting his characters' unseemly behavior with his innate, ordinary-guy affability, Lemmon's mid-'60s comic roles included a lascivious landlord in Under the Yum Yum Tree (1963) and a homicidal husband in How to Murder Your Wife (1965). Lemmon began his second legendary creative partnership when Wilder cast Walter Matthau opposite him in The Fortune Cookie (1966). The duo's popularity was cemented when they re-teamed for the hit film version of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple (1968). Despite his genuine pathos as suicidal, anal-retentive divorcé Felix Unger, Lemmon still managed to evoke great hilarity with Felix's technique for clearing his sinuses, becoming a superbly neurotic foil to Matthau's
casual Oscar Madison. Matthau subsequently starred in Kotch (1971), Lemmon's sole directorial effort, and Lemmon appeared in scion Charles Matthau's The Grass Harp (1995). Lemmon and Matthau also fittingly co-starred in Wilder's final film, Buddy Buddy (1981). After starring in The Out-of-Towners (1970) and Avanti! (1972), Lemmon took minimal salary in order to play a disillusioned middle-aged businessman in the drama Save the Tiger (1973). Though the film did little business, Lemmon finally won the Best Actor Oscar that had eluded him for over a decade and moved easily between comedy and drama from then on. As in The Odd Couple, he marshaled both humor and gloom for his portrayal of an unemployed, despondent gray flannel suit executive in Neil Simon's The Prisoner of Second Avenue (1972). His reunion with Wilder and Matthau for another screen version of the fast-talking newspaperman comedy The Front Page (1974), however, was strictly for laughs.
Working less frequently in films in the mid-'70s, Lemmon managed to retain his status as one of the best actors in the business with his passionate turn as a conscience-stricken nuclear power plant executive in the prescient drama The China Syndrome (1979). Along with the Best Actor prize at the Cannes Film Festival, Lemmon also earned an Oscar nomination for Syndrome. He received another Oscar nod when he reprised his 1978 Tony-nominated performance as a dying press agent in the film version of Tribute (1980). Lemmon continued to push himself as an actor throughout the 1980s and 1990s. As an anguished father who seeks the truth about his son's disappearance in Constantin Costa-Gavras' politically charged Missing (1982), he repeated his Cannes win and Oscar nomination diptych. In 1986, Lemmon returned to Broadway in the challenging role of wretched patriarch James Tyrone in Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night. Though critics began voicing their doubts after such films as Dad (1989), Lemmon offset his affection for sentiment in the early '90s with vivid performances as a slightly seedy character in JFK (1991), a fading, high-strung real estate agent in David Mamet's harsh Glengarry Glen Ross (1992), and a truant father in Robert Altman's Short Cuts (1993). Lemmon proved that older actors could still draw crowds when he co-starred with Matthau as warring neighbors in the hit comedy Grumpy Old Men (1993) and the imaginatively titled sequel Grumpier Old Men (1995). The two concluded their decades-long, perennially appealing odd couple act with Out to Sea (1997) and The Odd Couple II (1998).
Along with gathering such lifetime laurels as the Kennedy Center Honors and the Screen Actors' Guild trophy, Lemmon also continued to win nominations and awards for his work in such TV dramas as the 1997 version of 12 Angry Men (inspiring Golden Globe rival Ving Rhames to famously surrender his prize to Lemmon) and Inherit the Wind (1999). Lemmon's Emmy-worthy turn as a serenely wise dying professor in Tuesdays With Morrie proved to be his final major role and an appropriate end to his stellar career. One year after longtime friend Matthau passed away in July 2000, Lemmon succumbed to cancer on June 27, 2001. He was survived by his second wife, Felicia Farr (whom he married in 1962), and his two children. ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

Robert Redford directed this adaptation of a novel by Steven Pressfield that uses golf as a metaphor for one man's spiritual and philosophical journeys. Rannulph Junuh (Matt Damon) was a gifted amateur golfer from Savannah, GA, until traumatic experiences during World War I shattered his confidence and sent him into a spiral of alcoholism. In 1931, Adele Invergordon (Charlize Theron), a beautiful heiress who once loved Junuh, inherits a spectacular but financially ailing golf course after the suicide of her father. To attract customers, she proposed a high-stakes match between the two most famous golfers of the day, Bobby Jones (Joel Gretsch) and Walter Hagen (Bruce McGill). Local businessmen sponsoring the match insist that a local golfer be added to the card, and Junuh is drafted for the position, but it soon becomes obvious that his game is just a shadow of its former glory. When things seem hopeless, a mysterious gentleman named Bagger Vance (Will Smith) volunteers to serve as Junuh's caddy and coach, using a mixture of ancient wisdom and past-life knowledge to help Junah "remember" the swing he's lost. Jack Lemmon narrates the story, and J. Michael Moncrief plays Lemmon's character as a boy. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Film director George Cukor (1899-1983) gets the American Masters treatment in this documentary from the acclaimed PBS series. Few directors from Hollywood's Golden Age can match the list of Cukor's achievements, which included What Price Hollywood, David Copperfield, Camille, Holiday, The Philadelphia Story, The Women, A Double Life, Adam's Rib, Born Yesterday, Pat and Mike, and the 1954 version of A Star Is Born, essentially the same story as What Price Hollywood. Even after the studio system broke up, Cukor continued making films right into the 1980s, though their quality began to vary widely. He did win his first and only Oscar in 1965 for My Fair Lady, though in retrospect, that film is not in the first rank of his filmography. Cukor's reputation in Hollywood was as a ladies' director, and few filmmakers can match his track record for drawing superb performances from actresses. The film does address the subtext of that reputation, Cukor's homosexuality, which was well-known in Hollywood during his lifetime, though not openly discussed in his public interviews. It allegedly led to his dismissal from directing Gone With the Wind after star Clark Gable insisted on having him replaced. Cukor was also one of the film community's most genial hosts, his dinner parties bringing together the most glamorous denizens of Hollywood. Both critics and historians, including Jeanine Basinger, David Denby, Richard Schickel, and Peter Bogdanovich, attest to Cukor's importance in motion pictures, and several of his collaborators and friends, including Angela Lansbury, Jack Lemmon, Mia Farrow, Fay Kanin, Shelley Winters, and Claire Bloom, offer insights into his working methods. Jean Simmons narrates. ~ Tom Wiener, Rovi

Howard Deutch directed this sequel to the The Odd Couple (1968), originally adapted from the 1965 Broadway comedy by Neil Simon. Thirty years later, Felix Ungar (Jack Lemmon) and retired sportswriter Oscar Madison (Walter Matthau) meet at LAX and drive a rental car across the desert to attend the wedding of Oscar's son Brucey (Jonathan Silverman) to Felix's daughter Hannah (Lisa Waltz), but a breakdown leaves them stranded at some distance from the main highways where they are sprayed by a cropduster and hang out with two flirtatious women (Christine Baranski, Jean Smart) in a small-town bar before getting a lift from slow-driving elderly Beaumont (Barnard Hughes), and eventually arriving at the wedding. Composer Alan Silvestri brings in Neal Hefti's original theme from the 1968 film, music also featured in ABC's 1970-75 TV series with Tony Randall and Jack Klugman.

For fifty years, Chasen's restaurant and bar was the gathering place for Hollywood's elite, U.S. presidents and royalty. Famed for its paneled ambiance, world-class chili and its legendary Hobo Steak, it was where the rich and powerful were free to orchestrate complex deals, hash out conflicts or simply relax in understated elegance. In 1996, after nearly a decade of slow business due in part to increased diet consciousness, and also to the appearance of newer, trendier eateries, Chasen announced that it would close. Many of Tinseltown's brightest lights past and present appeared for the gala send-off which is chronicled in this documentary feast. In addition to featuring plenty of star-gazing, it also features poignant reminiscences from Chasen's staff, many of whom have worked there for decades. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

A pair of grumpy old men hit the high seas in this comedy. Small-time con man Charlie (Walter Matthau) fast-talks his considerably more straight-laced friend Herb (Jack Lemmon) into joining him for a luxury cruise on an ocean liner headed to the Bahamas. Charlie tells Herb that the trip is free and will be a good way to meet rich widows; both parts are true enough, but Herb doesn't know that Charlie has signed them on as dance hosts (hence the free tickets), and Herb isn't sure if he's ready for romance after the recent death of his wife. As the men struggle with the fact that Herb isn't much of a hoofer (and Charlie can't dance at all) under the strict tutelage of cruise director Godwyn (Brent Spiner), Charlie starts sweet-talking beautiful heiress Liz (Dyan Cannon), while Herb finds a soul mate in Vivian (Gloria DeHaven), who lost her husband not long ago. Out to Sea also stars Elaine Stritch, Hal Linden, Rue McClanahan, and Donald O'Connor, who pulled his dancing shoes out of mothballs for his role. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In this comedy, Russell P. Kramer (Jack Lemmon) and Matt Douglas (James Garner) are two former U.S. Presidents who sit on opposite sides of the political fence. Kramer is a stuffy Republican reluctant to part with a dollar, while Douglas is a left-leaning Democrat with an eye for the ladies. Douglas succeeded Kramer in office after a single term, while Douglas, after four years as chief executive, lost to his former running mate William Haney (Dan Aykroyd). When the facts about a bribery scheme in Haney's administration threaten to surface and destroy his reputation, the ruthless president tries to pin the responsibility on Kramer and Douglas -- and when the ex-presidents learn the truth about Haney's dealings, Haney tries to have them killed before they can talk. Kramer and Douglas soon find themselves on the run, disguising themselves as celebrity impersonators, hiding out in the woods with a homeless family, and marching in a Gay Pride parade in an effort to stay clear of Haney's goons while they bring the truth to the people. My Fellow Americans also features Lauren Bacall as Kramer's long-suffering wife and John Heard as Haney's intellectually-challenged vice president. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Add Hamlet to top of Queue
At least the 22nd time William Shakespeare's most famous tragedy has been brought to the screen, Kenneth Branagh's film adaptation of Hamlet was the first to preserve Shakespeare's entire text, uncut and unabridged. Moving the action into the 19th century, Branagh cast himself in the title role and, as in his adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing, assembled an eclectic group of actors that mixed veteran Shakespearean performers (including John Mills, Judi Dench, John Gielgud, and Derek Jacobi) with Hollywood stars not known for interpreting the Bard's work (among them Robin Williams, Charlton Heston, Billy Crystal, and Jack Lemmon). However, unlike most interpretations, it's the women who really carry the show, with the two best performances delivered by Kate Winslet as Ophelia and Julie Christie as Gertrude. As usual, Hamlet finds himself torn over what to do after the death of his father and his mother's hasty remarriage. Branagh's version of Hamlet was also notable on a technical level, as it was filmed in the 70-mm format for increased visual clarity and detail. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The Hollywood Collection: Jack Lemmon - America's Everyman
Jack Lemmon has mastered both stage and screen in his career with such hits as "The Odd Couple," "The Days of Wine and Roses," "The China Syndrome," "Save the Tiger" (for which he received an Oscar) and "Grumpy Old Men." He and Walter Matthau starred in numerous films together that were nearly always a hit. Lemmon has displayed a wide range of acting talents. He knows just how to make a character appear funny, sympathetic or absolutely driven. His ability to act in both solid dramas and lighthearted comedies has always served him well. Few can watch "The Days of Wine and Roses" without shedding a tear or laughing almost uncontrollably at his performances in both "The Odd Couple" or the original "The Out of Towners." Lemmon himself hosts this biography that includes interviews with many of his costars and colleagues such as playwright Neil Simon. ~ Elizabeth Smith, Rovi

In this sequel to the surprise hit Grumpy Old Men, life goes on much as it usually does in Wabasha County, Minnesota, with the only notable differences being that John Gustafson (Jack Lemmon) and Max Goldman (Walter Matthau) are getting along all right (or at least to the extent that they're capable of getting along with each other), and that John's marriage to free-spirited Ariel (Ann-Margret) is working out quite nicely. John and Max's great obsession in life remains fishing, and both are vying to reel in "Catfish Hunter," a trophy fish that local anglers have been trying to catch for ages. However, Max is outraged when Maria Ragetti (Sophia Loren) and her mother Francesca (Ann Morgan Guilbert) arrive in town and take over the local bait and tackle shop, only to announce that they're going to close it down and open an Italian restaurant in its place. Max goes to remarkable lengths to foil Maria's plans, but John thinks that his friend needs a wife, and that Max and Maria might make a good match. Grandpa Gustafson (Burgess Meredith) seems to think he'd be a good mate for Francesca, but then again he's not known for being very fussy about women. John's daughter Melanie (Daryl Hannah) and Max's son Jacob (Kevin Pollak) are trying to work out their own plans to get married, and they might just make it to the altar if John and Max can stop interfering.

A well-meaning man discovers the downside of taking the law into your own hands in this black comedy. Jack Lambert (Dan Aykroyd) is a college ethics professor who lives next door to a kindly old man of German descent named Max Mueller (Jack Lemmon); Jack is also in love with an attractive doctor named Gail (Bonnie Hunt), whom he plans to marry. One day, an FBI agent approaches Jack with some rather surprising news -- Max is actually Karl Luger, an escaped Nazi war criminal known as the Beast of Burkau and responsible for the deaths of thousands of people during World War II. However, Max has avoided prosecution on a legal technicality, which deeply offends Jack's sense of justice. Outraged, Jack poisons the apples on the tree in Max's yard, and before long Max has succumbed to the tainted fruit. However, Jack then learns that the FBI agents had the wrong man, and Max wasn't really the Beast of Burkau after all. Wracked with guilt, Jack wants to do something to make amends, so he calls off his engagement with Gail and instead begins to court Inga (Lily Tomlin), Max's frumpy and socially inept daughter.

Based on the novel by Truman Capote, this often-witty coming-of-age drama looks at a young man growing up with an unusual family in the Deep South in the 1940s. After the death of his parents, Collin Fenwick (Edward Furlong) finds himself living in a small town with two of his aunts, Dolly (Piper Laurie) and Verena (Sissy Spacek). Verena is the more stable of the two, an entrepreneur who controls a number of local businesses and rules the roost with a firm hand. Dolly, on the other hand, is a gentle eccentric who claims to hear the voices of the dead as the wind whistles through the grass, and has developed a homemade concoction that supposedly cures dropsy. Dolly's potion attracts the attention of Morris Ritz (Jack Lemmon), a smooth-talking con man from Chicago who wants to snatch the formula away from her. Along the way, Collin also gets to know Catherine (Nell Carter), Verena and Dolly's quick-witted house maid; Amos (Roddy McDowall), a barber who is also the town's one-man rumor mill; Charlie Cool (Walter Matthau), a charmingly cynical retired judge with an opinion about everything; and Sister Ida (Mary Steenburgen), an accordion-toting traveling evangelist who has had a heroic brood of 13 children without benefit of marriage.

About This Show
- Summary
From Emmy Award-winning directors Joe and Anthony Russo comes Community, a smart comedy series about higher education -- and lower expectations. The student body at Greendale Community College is made up of high-school losers, newly divorced housewives, and old people who want to keep their minds active. Within these not-so-hallowed halls, Community focuses on a band of misfits, at the center of which is a fast-talkin' lawyer whose degree has been revoked (Joel McHale), who form a study group and end up learning a lot more about themselves than they do about their course work. In addition to McHale, the series also stars: Gillian Jacobs, Yvette Nicole Brown, Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, and comedy legend Chevy Chase.

Bistro Jeanty
Online Reservations
Great food & Great Service. Waiter even offered us a free dessert once he learned that it was a b-day celetration. Will definitely go back to try other items on the menu. Loved the difference sauces of the different dishes.
Have eaten here many times and is a favorite. Service this time was a little off. After getting water, waited a long time before the waitress came back so we could order a glass of wine. Then the wine and bread had barely arrived, then so did our dinner. Dessert took an unusually time to come out. Ordered an extra dessert to take home, and it arrived long before the desserts being eaten in the restaurant. Overall, still a good dinner. Food quality was as good as ever.
Celebrated 2 birthdays, The TOMATO SOUP was still the best in the world!
This is my favorite restaurant, hands down. My sweetheart and I came for my 25th birthday dinner and I was not disappointed with any of our selections. This restaurant is ridiculously charming making it a perfect place to bring people you love or are hoping to love. As for the world renowned tomato soup? It is delicious, it was delicious, and it will always be delicious.
As usual, I ordered "chefs choice with wine pairings." Out came a beautiful warm salad with croutons, an egg, and a smoky but not overpowering bacon vinaigrette. It was paired with a white Bordeaux, which was a perfect compliment. The second course was a rillette of rabbit served in a mason jar with toast points and gherkins, accompanied by a gorgeous WH Smith Sonoma Pinor Noir. Bistro Jeanty is one of the gems of Napa Valley and never fails to impress.
Food was great. Cute place. We had oysters and it was a good deal. The food was excellent.
Bistro Jeanty has the best cassoulet. I cannot come to Napa Valley without stopping at Bistro Jeanty!
Always a pleasure to eat here. We go once or twice a month
Love the food, the ambiance, the service. We live in the Bay Area and love coming back to this wonderful French restaurant.
Our group loved everything, especially their signature tomato soup. Their specials are always interesting and delicious. Only complaint is the heating system in the outer area. . .could definitely use an upgrade.
Bistro Jeanty did not disappoint. I actually enjoyed the salad, tomato soup and Beef stew the best. We also ordered the Duck Confit, which I'm sorry to say was "okay" but I probably will not order it again. The French onion soup had a deep full body flavor, but it could not compare to the rich creamy taste of the their tomato soup. That is a must. The egg salad with the soft boiled egg in it was so comforting to eat. I was skeptical about the salad but it turned out to be one of my favorites.
We like to eat earlier so we had 6:00 reservations. The restaurant wasn't crowded. Which, was to our liking. By the time we were finished every table was full and some had already turned over. My wife had Braised short ribs and they were fall off the bone tender. I had a rack of lamb and picked up the bones to get every bite. This is one of our favorite restaurants in Yountville. We go here on every visit to the valley.
Hearty French country food with specials featuring what is seasonally available.
We just spent a great day in the wine country and had lunch here at Bistro Jeanty. As usual, the meal was terrific along with the service. They never let us down.
I like Bistro Jeanty as they deliver what they promise; authentic, hearty, French, bistro-food. They deliver their food professionally and without attitude. Try the apple tart with room temperature.
Bistro Jeanty is a favorite on our list. Food was up to usual high standards, Moules in Vin Rouge, Brussel Sprouts, Black Codfish with vegetables, Lobster Bisque, Tarte Tartin. It was the first evening of the Nouveau Beaujolais being in (flown in after release in France 11/20). Service was attentive and friendly. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
Classic French bistro menu ... great steak frites, salad niconaise, sole
Bistro Jeanty is a great place to satisfy your desirre for real french cuisine
Service was pleasant and timely... Server most knowledgeable
The food was very good. But the service was a bit off. We had to wait for our drinks and we got our cocktails when the appetizer was already been served. And it was a pity that we couldn't sit in the restaurant itself. The restaurant has a real French feeling about it. But we were on the "covered" patio, and that hasn;t got it. But still the food is terrific.
This is on of the top rated resturants in the country- it you haven't gone, you should. It's fine dining in a casual atmosphere. It's cozy, casual and relaxed (read jeans are totally acceptable). The staff is amazing and treat you like a friend, the wine and bar selections are diverse but the star is the food. There is something for everyone here- from tongue, escargot and beef cheeks, to the creamiest tomato soup ever and the most savory beef stew. No one will leave hungry or disappointed. A revervation is good, but I've never had a problem getting a table without one. It's a gem and I can't recommend it more.
The menu was quite French... all the requisite stews and dishes, but the quality was a bit spotty. The salad Lyonnaise was over dressed and there was no or little frisee lettuce; the daube de boeuf was good but too fatty and in general not great. The mashed potatoes were certainly not a true French puree. We had a wonderful waiter but waited a very long time between courses. Worst of all they tried to seat us in the outside very unattractive porch though we had reserved weeks ahead of time... probably because we were 4 women and they thought we wouldn't complain about it; we did and eventually were given a table in the much nicer front room. I like the restaurant's ambiance and will tie it another try, though.
Good food. The tomato soup in bread bowl was out if this world:)
We've always said, since our first visit on our honeymoon 8 years ago, and even now after moving to Napa, this is our favorite restaurant in the valley. Amazing food and experience :) thanks for being so consistently excellent over all these years!!!!
Great food...a true French experience. Great wine list with a variety of prices. Service was the best. Everyone in our party agreed this restaurant was a highlight of our visit to wine country.
There is an outdoor section that is tented with heaters. We had our reservation way in advance but yet we were seated outside for dinner. Yes, there were heaters, but that was not the point. We should have been told we would be outside in November when we made the reservation. If so, we would have gone elsewhere.
Had Thanksgivings with my family it was great, service was outstanding food was good! Was sad that they ran out of lemon tart at 7:30 pm :(.
We spent Thanksgiving at Bistro Jeanty and it was one of the most special holidays ever. The food was beyond wonderful, and the service was both professional and warm. The cocktails were also amazing! Loved it!
You can never go wrong with Bistro Jeanty. Can get busy so make a reservation. Slow down and enjoy your meal. Great menu with great options. You can sit a the bar a nod get the same menu choices without a reservation.
We went to Bistro Jeanty with our daughter for THanksgiving dinner. Everything was perfect except for out table. I wanted to be inside, in the pretty French restaurant, but we ended up on the terrace. I wasn't my idea of Thanksgiving, but it was nice anyway!
a wonderful lunch on Thanksgiving Day, on the terrace, no feel of hustle or overcrowded, delicious preparations of dishes you might get in France, but most of the time as "convinience food" very attentionate service, we were absolutely happy. Bravo Monsieur Jeanty.
Authentic French bistro...eaten here many times, never disappointing
My wife and I had not been able to get back to Bistro Jeanty in Yountville in 5 years, but we were thrilled that the food, service and overall experience was still at the very high level we had come to expect. You can not go wrong with this restaurant and I highly recommend the tomato soup and steak frites!
Consistent, good food, good atmosphere......don't hesitate to go. Great for Sunday afternoons....
Loved it...we were a party of three and enjoyed the energy in the room. If you are a twosome..tables are close together... but does calm down the later the night goes. So don't plan on a quiet romantic moment. Don't forget to save room for dessert. omg...the best! Food wonderful...reminds me of Paris. merci beaucoup...kiss kiss!
French food has become hard to find, but Bistro Jeanty delivers. Their tomato soup, raved about in many reviews was probably the least fantastic of our menu choices--but was still great! the other items were even better. Veal chop and pork shoulder were both truly fantastic hardy, cold weather dishes. Apple tart, I'm not a desert fan, but it was really excellent. Only criticism, we were seated near the door and got blasted by cold air way too often. They need to think about changing the entry way so that diners do not get hit with the cold blast of air.
I love restaurants that know what they want to accomplish and do it well. So I love this place. Great bistro ambiance and service. Superb wines served by the glass/250ml/500ml/Btl concept. Beef bourguignon was good comfort fare; mine needed some extra rosemary/sage, maybe some salt. Filet was perfect and in the French tradition with a soft center. Salads were absolutely amazing, leveraging the fine produce of CA. I had the green bean salad and wife had the butter lettuce; they were generous. Not sure if BJ should be a Zagat 27 for food; I'd see it at a solid 25, but that said it is a first-class Bistro. Affordable. Go.
A perfectly fine place when looking for bistro fare in the Yountville-Napa area. Many of the dishes contain much more butter and/or cream than would be our preference, but it's certainly possible to get a delicious meal. Service this time was perfunctory. Being seated in the enclosed outdoor room in the evening is not nearly as cozy as being in one of the indoor spaces.
Sunday lunch was fantastic. This is one of the great bistros in northern California. Worth two stars from the tire company, five stars from everyone else. Typical of Yountville, it is a little on the pricey side.
If you dream with incredible onion or tomato soups, this is the place you must go to. Apart from the food itself being great, the desserts surprised us because of their flavor and quality. We ordered Tarte Tatin and it was magnificent. Highly recommended.
we've visited Yountville several times and only the last two have we eaten at Bistro Jeanty. we enjoy it very much. the food is great - the tomato soup and creme brulee are our new favorites. the entree selections are delicious, the service is attentive and very professional. overall, a delightful restaurant and highly recommended.
Outstanding from start to finish. We had Lobster Bisque and Escargot... Delicious. Followed by the Steak Tartar and an amazing Green bean salad with warm goat cheese... Phenomenal. Entree consisted of Filet au poivre (pepper filet), and a the most incredible and delicious Veal chop with Chantrelle mushrooms....Out of this world. Meal was one of the best of our lives, and the service was perfect. Attentive but not overboard. We will be back!!!!
Bistro Jeanty is as proclaimed- old style French auberge. Country recipes of solid comfort food, small, bit noisy but with friendly buzz. Competent service, but table by door soured dining on chilly night. Good but pricy at high end wine list. Overall, a comfortable visit to rustic France.
Very nice ambience. Very old school Parisian bistro/wine bar feel. The food is very traditionally French (bonne femme) with some nice local touches that don't push the original dishes into the shadows. The large plates that we ordered were very large. We recommend that a couple order two starters or small plates and split a large dish. I would have like a larger choice of beers. As to the wine list, I hold with Montaigne.... "one who does not know good wine will never taste bad"... I hardly ever have noticed bad wine. As this place is located where it is, I suspect most ordinary mortals would find the listings more than adequate.
Every meal ordered was terrific. The daily specials of sweetbread was REALLY great. Risotto with white truffles rather pricey even though I know white truffles are a delicacy. Wine, wait staff and food always great.
This is one of our favorite restaurants ANYWHERE. If you love French food go there.
We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with excellent food and fabulous service. Would highly recommend !!
My husband and I went here on a "must visit" recommendation as our last night in Napa. We were not disappointed! The tomato soup was as rich and delicious as the other reviews claimed. I had the mussels, which were perfectly cooked. My husband had the Coq au Vin which was also amazing. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and not at all pushy. Will DEFINITELY come back on our next trip!
We recently celebrated my boyfriends 45th birthday at Bistro Jeanty for lunch. I requested to sit by the fireplace and voila! the little table directly in front of the fireplace was ours... If you are able to focus on your dining partner and take in the incredible food, it can be an extremely romantic experience. My boyfriend brought a very special bottle of wine and the waiter (I feel awful I cannot remember his name!) handled it with kid gloves. We enjoyed smelts, my first time. I want to go back just for those. Try them please if they are available!
We had a first rate experience. The food is delicious. The atmosphere is warm and cozy and very reminiscent of a Parisian bistro.
