Rendez Vous Bistro
Located in beautiful Downtown Santa Rosa, Rendez Vous provides the premiere French experience with only a fraction of the travel cost. Rendez Vous Bistro blends modern convenience with a romantic, distinctly old-world ambience. We have proudly recreated an authentic 1930s French Bistro, featuring antique style French lighting fixtures, a custom designed expansive bar, hand laid stone floor, and colorful wall and ceiling murals.
Our tables and chairs echo traditional Parisian style, adding a cheerful and comfortable element. The expansive patio adjoins a cascading fountain, green lawn, and tall redwood trees. It can be heated and cooled for your year-round dining pleasure, and adds a picturesque focal point to the bustling corner of 4th Street and Courthouse Square.

"We didn't get to eat here. There are two restaurants right next to each other and we went in wrong one. By the time we realized we were not in the right place it was too late. Both places were very understanding."

"We were seated immediately by a very gracious hostess. Our server, Sharon, arrived quickly and told us the evening specials.
I chose the duck leg confit with arugula, sausage and beans. My husband chose the special: crab stuffed ravioli with asparagus and grape tomatoes.
Both entrees were outstanding. Very flavorful and cooked to perfection.
There is limited seating inside with many more tables under an outdoor dining area, heated with heat lamps. We were outside and when the lamp gave off too much heat, they willingly turned the one nearest to us off. It was quite comfortable."

"We went to Rendez Vous Bistro for Week and were very pleased with the food, service and value. Our only disappointment was that they had run out of one of the entrees by 7:30, which is too early. We would recommend this restaurant and also go back ourselves."

"This place is good but not outstanding. Great if you want a good meal and not spend too much. The drink I had was very good so the bar is probably great. I will go again."

"We went for Valentines Dinner. The food and service were very good and the back corner we were sitting at was very quiet and romantic. We were away from the hussle of the rest of the dining area. I would like to try it again on a "non" holiday."
