It’s our second time here and we loved it the same! Luckily Jules was our server again. She’s why we came back! She’s pleasant and have broad knowledge of the meat served here. We also liked that there are many different cuts of beef to choose from. Our favorites were the Harami skirt steak and the Bistro Hanger. The cubed A5 is very good too! We will sure come back and may try the 10 person semi private at the Southeast corner of the restaurant.

Love the ambience here. The semi-privacy of each table having its own glass room. The process of removing your shoes and getting down into the table. It all makes for a unique dining experience that isn’t soon forgotten. Great, varied menu! Love the small plates - allows you to try a variety of options. Service is great - not too frequent but there when you need them.

There were four in our dining party, and we all had an excellent experience in all ways. We commented on our wait-staff, named Eric. He was most accommodating, from our orders to any changes we needed to make. Our food was delicious and abundant. We definitely will return again, as we have for many years, to Mustard's as one of our choice dining experiences in the Yountville area.
