Let me start off by saying. . . AMAZING! We went the weekend after Valentine’s Day and it was super busy. We were the last reservation and there was a bit of a wait because people weren’t leaving. The general manager, Aaron, was amazing to us! He was so sweet and apologized tons of times even though we didn’t mind. He made sure we got our food quickly and kept checking on us. He definitely went above and beyond for us. Our waitress Macy was so sweet also, and the waitress that took over our table. The food was also fantastic and great portions!

Amazing place to eat and be with family and friends, hands down. Aaron was an amazing host for my graduation in May and helpful with the dinner plans so that it goes smoothly. Thank you all Petite Auberge and Aaron!

Service was slow to start. We had a reservation but it took a while to get seated. We ordered the mussels and eggplant as an appetizer and for our entrees, we had the halibut and chickpea ravioli. The ambiance was really nice and the entrees were very good. My boyfriend enjoyed his mussels but I wasn’t a fan of the the eggplant frites and didn’t eat any of it past the first few bites. The honey glaze just made it too sweet and confusing as a dish.

This place was AMAZING, starting with Aaron accommodating my wife and I with a quality dining experience. The food was very well done, quality was noticeable. If you live in or visit Fredericksburg VA this is a goto for an exquisite meal.

Man, that was an amazing meal!! First and Foremost, huge 5 star shoutout to our server, Macie, who effortlessly navigated our questions and guided us to what ended up being the best meal I’ve had in quite some time. Starters were the Field Green Salad (best salad ive ever eaten) and tarte flambee (holy smokes that was amazing!!). Entree’s were Veggie Ravioli and steak and shrimp (i ate the ravioli, superb, also, best spinach i have ever eaten). Desserts were carried home to go.

Intimate, art rich, beautifully lit spot. Spend as much time as you can here with the people in your life! Smaller dining areas add to the quiet ambience.

We were a little disappointed in the service and appetizers; our server didn’t bring an ice bucket for the wine and was just generally inexperienced. We ordered the foie gras and ended up to be a mousse, which we were not made aware of, plus it was served with what looked like Wonder Bread from a grocery store. We also had escargot, which was well cooked, but needed a break to go with it (not wonder bread!) The entrees, though were fantastic! I had the rack of lamb, which was exquisitely cooked and delicious even though the mint jelly was overpowering; the ratatouille and potatoes au gratin were both fantastic. My date got the halibut and was leary about the hollandaise with it but it went great with both the fish and the spinach risotto. We had the rum cake for dessert and it was amazing! Overall, I’ll definitely go back, just have different appetizers.

Went to dinner tonight and service was amazing. Our server was so attentive and had good information on the foods. There were a few events that were WAY beyond their control, but they made sure we were taken care of. I’m a scatterbrain and forgot the servers name, but a very nice bald man. AMAZING. We got steaks and also, holy cow the scalloped potatoes. Just overall wonderful.

Asked for a seat in the lounge area so that we can be a little more secluded from other patrons. Was perfect since we wanted something a little casual and relaxed. The vibe in the lounge is not French I would say but the food was. Very good, many seafood options if you are a seafood lover.
