Angèle Restaurant & Bar

Rating 7.55 / 10

Inconsistently Good

While Angèle Restaurant & Bar captures a beautifully romantic, waterfront vibe along the Napa River front, their french fries (or frites) can be a surprising letdown for a classic French bistro. The fries here sometimes miss the mark on texture, often arriving at the table medium brown in color and overcooked. It's a frustrating inconsistency for an otherwise charming spot that usually executes its French country classics with so much care.

SHAPE & SIZE

8.5 / 10: Holds up to dipping without bending.

TEXTURE & FLAVOR

7.0 / 10: The inside is softer than the outside, but lacks some potato texture.

THE FRY

7.5 / 10: More often than not, the fries are too dark and overly crunchy. When asked to "undercook" them, they turn out better.

SEASONING

9.0 / 10: A good amount of salt. Still missing strong potato flavor.
