Good: Entree was excellent. Waitstaff were cool.Food for thought: I provide this feedback reluctantly, understanding it's a first world gripe and that working in a restaurant or any service job, is thankless. Also it's general feedback for "fine dining" establishments as opposed to cafes and breweries where you might order essentially the same food for 1/3 to 1/2 the price and don't have the experience I'm going to complain about. And, I've really only noticed this since I moved up here permanently and started eating out at these kinds of restaurants more frequently. Waitstaff, chill out. I feel like I'm being watched like a hawk from the moment the entree arrives. I literally saw the waiter watching staring at me as I was getting close to finishing my entree and that was after he came by once to ask if I was done even when I was only about halfway through the entree. And this isn't a case of the restaurant being crowded. There's a not so fine line between being attentive and destroying a relaxing dining experience. I don't know if its boredom, i.e the wait staff literally doesn't have anything better to do, or standard operating procedure at these kinds of restaurants. But, ultimately it feels like I'm the meal ticket rather than the customer. There's no need to swoop in within 60 seconds of what appears to be the end of the course. It's gotten to the point where I've become self-conscious about not giving the impression I'm done. Let the customer's experience breathe a bit.

One of my favorite restaraunts on the Coast, for anything from office parties to intimate dinners for couples. I have never had a bad meal here. Heck, I've never had even a mediocre meal here! The food is superb, the staff is attentive, and the owner is the actual greeter as you come in.

Always amazing, both for dine in and takeaway! I just had chicken confit with root vegetables as a bistro special and it was all DIVINE. The bread is also such a treat every time. We’re so lucky to have great French food on the coast. Thanks Lisa and Tony!

After the duck breast entree was described to us, my husband couldn't help but order it and it met all expectations. My ahimsa tuna melted in my mouth. Waitress was very professional and mindful. Awesome.Dietary restrictions: My husband eats gluten-free and never has a hard time finding something delicious on the menu.

My husband and I truly enjoyed our 9th wedding anniversary dinner with the phenomenal food and service at the beautiful Ledford House!We were greeted by maitre’d Tony with the kind offer of a complimentary glass of champagne in honor of our anniversary and were thrilled when he quickly and seamlessly offered an NA option when he saw our hesitation.The glass of delicious Ôpia NA Sparkling Chardonnay set the mood for a truly delightful gastronomic adventure featuring starters of the Duck Pâté, Rustic Tart, and Garden Greens followed by the Lamb Shank for my husband and the Cassoulet for me.As non-drinkers, we were also thrilled to see a nice collection of delicious NA beverage offerings and enjoyed a bottle of the local Navarro Pinot Noir grape juice with our meal that was, literally, the best grape juice we've ever had!The chocolate pudding cake a la mode for dessert was almost a let down in comparison to the rest of the meal, but truly, it was also delicious in its own right.As good as the food was (do NOT miss the Duck Pâté, Rustic Tart, or the Lamb Shank. Eat the Cassoulet if you need to feel like you're being enveloped in a warm comforting hug by your French Provençal ancestors...I'm not even French and I could feel it!), the service was even more top notch.From pulling out our chairs when we were seated, napkin service, never leaving our water glasses unfilled, presenting our drinks and dishes with the utmost pride and care, to just the right amount of attention to our table, it's extremely hard to say the last time we had such wonderful treatment by a restaurant's staff.It may honestly be the best service we've ever had and we made sure to tip accordingly. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation for your next special date night, anniversary, or birthday. You'll be in for a treat!

Ledford House in Albion RiverWell what a nice surprise it is tonight. Specialty aperitif upfront is a Gingerbread Martini (Christmas in a glass.) Food selection is amazing - escargot and baked oysters for my appetizer.Torn between the duck breast and the filet mignon I decided on the filet because of pairing with a 2020 Husch Cabernet Sauvignon. Absolute attention to detail.Omg, I’m in filet mignon heaven! They aim to impress and come through in every aspect. This is a true multi star experience.Now for the par excellence - pictures will only do a part of the story as the flavors will define it all - my dessert order was taken by the owner, just wow!I’ve found my new favorite culinary heaven spot!Dessert needs completely satisfied with the owner offering me a paired port to my choice of chocolate pot d crème.Outstanding!Considering where Michelin has awarded stars, this restaurant more than deserves a star - more than any other I know in this area.
