   Have been here a couple of times. We don’t live in the area, but have really enjoyed this restaurant when visiting. Good vibe, food, service, cocktails, and ambiance.

   My wife and I had dinner at the restaurant in mid January 2025. We were very pleased. We had early reservations (5:30) and were seated promptly. Service throughout the evening was excellent; the wait staff checked on us regularly and the courses were served timely. I had the pumpkin soup and it was exceptional. For our main courses, my wife had the pork loin and not only was it good sized, it was also well seasoned and tender. I had the trout with potatoes and it was cooked as I had requested. We shared a dessert (a snickers like concoction) and it topped off the meal. Noise level was fine although as the evening progressed, the restaurant became more crowded and the noise level increased. Not an inexpensive dinner but expected if one looked at the menu ahead of time. Well worth the visit.

   Had a superb dinner this time around--better than all our past visits, and all the past visits have been good, so don't get me wrong--it's just that this time everything was beyond good. Appetizer to share: Day Boat Scallops en Croute ~ Jack Herron’s Wild Fennel Pollen White Sturgeon Caviar – Champagne Beurre Blanc. **We have this EVERY time and it is always fantastic. EVERYONE should have this--it serves two. **Also, we hope they NEVER take it off the menu. Mains: Herb Crusted Mt Lassen Steelhead Trout ~ Babe Farms Mustard Frills, Prince of Orange Potatoes – Asparagus – Tarragon Oil – Sauce Béarnaise. First time ordering this, really enjoyed it. Highly recommend. Prime New York Strip Loin ~ Costeaux Sourdough, Potato Fondant – Gremolata Marrow Bone – Chimichurri – Panzanella Salad. Always very good (BTW, the salad that accompanies this dish is very good!) Dessert: Mountain Rose Apple Frangipane ~ Vanilla Ice Cream – Marcona Almonds - Vanilla Tuille – Apple Cider Reduction. YUM! Wine: Valette has their own wines and they are very good. We always have the Pinot Noir and the Sauvignon Blanc. Cocktails: Gin & (House Made) Tonic~ No.3 Gin, House Made Tonic. Very good! Twigs & Berries ~ Terrior gin, Green Chartreuse, Raspberry, Pineapple, Lime, Egg Whites. Interesting, and very good!

   We went for my birthday dinner. The service was impeccable. The host and our server made the whole experience joyful. Our entrees, Steelhead Trout and New York Strip, were good but we especially liked the Caviar and Scallop en Croute starters. We will definitely return.

   Way overpriced for the culinary level. Pretentious explanations of the food don't automatically make the food better. Sourdough dust? Really?

    We had a wonderful experience with Valette. My husband and I did the tasting menu. I need a gluten free meal and my husband doesn’t. Normally we are served both gluten free or I am missing half the meal. At Valette they thoughtfully prepared us different courses so that we are both enjoying the best they have to offer. It was such a nice surprise and delicious. When we are in the area we will be back!
