About Alonso Family Vineyard

Juan Alonso, owner and head chef of the renowned French Restaurant, Le Chene for almost 40 years, began operating Alonso Family Vineyard in 1995.

Against the advice of many who thought the region was unsuitable for a high quality vineyard, Juan has persevered and continued to grow the fine reputation of Alonso Family Vineyard and gone on to produce award winning wine ever since.

Through a partnership with Jasper Dickson, of Angeleno Wine Company, Alonso Family Vineyard has broadened its reach and is bringing ever more award winning wines to a wider audience.

As Jasper says, “There are no words to articulate the stunning beauty of the vineyard in the early morning during harvest. It is still cold enough to see your breath and you need to wear gloves, even though it’s summer. Juan is the heart and soul of Angeleno. We consider him Angeleno’s real winemaker, as the character of his vineyard is what shines through in our wines.”

Best restaurant on Santa Clarita. The service, food and ambience has been consistent for the 30 years we've been dining here. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu

Classic place with classic French dishes. A huge wine menu, a full bar, and an espresso machine. What more could I ask for? Oh yeah, how about friendly bartenders and great customer service? Theu have that too. We also met the owner and his wife. Very nice people. We will be going back whenever we are in the area.

My truck caught on fire on the Sierra Highway and I had no phone service. It was afterhours and the restaurant was closed but I went behind and asked for help and the owners son and employees all ran out like true heroes and helped me extinguish the fire. I offered to give them money but they refused. They did it out of kindness and good will. I asked them for a business card and they gave me one to their restaurant. I asked how the food was and they said that it was the best around. I knew I could believe them because they just stopped a catastrophe without charge. So the next day I was hungry and I wanted to try this best food around and I went there and the service is just as excellent as the heroes. The owner is warm and inviting. For the quality of restaurant the prices are even quite reasonable. I would recommend this place to anyone. It might be slightly higher than most are used to but the prices aren't far from Red Lobster. You only live once so I would recommend living a little and experience the finest.

5 different dishes, all excellent (pricing of each dish around $35). Wine was very good. Parker (server) was well informed and very attentive. A really nice overall experience. Will definitely return!

Le Chene is as good as it ever was! As a frequent patron many years ago, I was thrilled to go back to my old stomping grounds and see that the food is just as good as I remember it. And the ambience is lovely. I can't say enough good things about Le Chene. It is worth the drive to have an exceptional meal in a wonderful setting.

This place can be hit or miss for me. Love the selection of dishes available. Our meals this time were excellent except for the crabcake appetizer. Too bready. But, the Tongue Vinaigrette, Cream of Vegetable Soup, Veal Chop with Morrells, Shrimp Escoffier, Boar Goulash, Grand Marnier Souffle and Peach Melba were so wonderful this time!

What a gem this place is! Juan, the owner is on the premises watching over everything. There is a nice wine list from wine that he produces. The food is gorgeous. The restaurant is beautiful. The grounds are picturesque. I can't say enough good things about this place. Happy hour is from 4:30 to 7:30. And during that time everything is 20% off. It's out in the midst of the wine and horse country but it is worth the Trek to enjoy this lovely place.

The BEST happy hour / bar menu, and 25% off during happy hour. Sunday brunch, Eggs le Chene, to die for. We also had the stuffed mushrooms with warm bread to dip in the hot garlic butter. Enjoyed a bottle of Jaun's Red. Great afternoon.

Awesome food, great service. Amazing history behind the place and it's surroundings. The owner should start breeding frogs in the back. For legs etc. We will be back.

Amazing French bistro out in rural northern LA county. Beautiful grounds. I proposed to my wife here on Valentine's Day.

Rebecca Williams

My husband and I live in Santa Clarita and this is the place we go to celebrate special occasions. La Chene has a fun, unique menu, and we enjoy getting something different each time. The flavors are rich and well balanced. Savory is the best word to describe the food at this restaurant. They are pricier than average, but you do get what you pay for!!

Mimi Mayer

17:42 05 Apr 18

If I lived closer, I'd be here every week!!! This place is a hidden gem out in (kinda) the middle of nowhere. The food is absolutely delicious, and you really feel like you're in another world when you're there. Great, attentive service, easy parking, solid wine list, full bar. I have the good fortune to get to play music for the Sharpo's Murder Mystery Dinners and always enjoy the evening easily as much as the guests at the show. Highly recommend!

Kevin Hansen

05:45 17 Apr 18

Pleasantly surprised by this oasis in the desert. Happy Hour specials drew us in and kept us almost three hours with a variety of dishes. The French onion soup and creme brulee we're the definitive highlights of our meal. What was the pinnacle of our experience was the warmth of the decor, staff, and patrons. Not a hint of snobbery to be found only kind smiles and quality wine. We look forward to our next visit.

This place is an authentic family style French restaurant. With everything from great wine, appetizers, cocktails, entrees or desserts. There is something for everyone. Including a garden, two banquet rooms and a balcony where you can dine and smoke. It truly is a destination restaurant that makes you feel like you are getting off the highway and stepping into France! Tremendous!!!

The location is beautiful. The food and service were impeccable. The views made me feel like I was in a French countryside. The portions are large enough to share salads and entrees. Don't skip the dessert. The homemade ice cream was wonderful. I got mine served with homemade chocolate sauce. It reminded me of grandma's chocolate icing while it was still warm. This is my aunt's favorite place and now it will be one of mine.

Let Chene is a gem in Los Angeles County. The patio is so peaceful, and taking a stroll on the grounds is a perfect way to end your meal. What a treat.

John McCullough

Very nice clean the staff was courteous and attentive but it is not cheap restaurant, most of the meals are in the 50 to $30 range. The meal was very tasty well present dated and a large portions. This evaluated will be going back, but not right away. This is our anniversary dinner and it was at the end with the chip $450 and some pennies.

Great ambiance, and large parking lot. Tucked away from the city, this is a slice of another culinary world. Most importantly, the food is wonderful and service, impeccable.

This place is AMAZING...... I had the filet mignon & lobster..... it was some of the best I've ever had.....do yourself a favor and make a reservation asap

Eric Fitucci

23:52 06 Jan 19

We've been going there for over 20 years. Many menu options including French favorites like Escargot and game meats (buffalo rib eye, venison, elk, rabbit, quail). Love the food, love the people.

Dave Kerr

00:48 13 Feb 19

This is one of our all Time favorite places to go for an amazing dinner

Jared Gerber

06:16 25 Feb 19

Amazing always. Weve been here many times. Parker & the runners always have every detail buttoned up...almost to the point of obsessively great service. We started with the baked brie & soft shell crab - both delicious and perfect compliment to the French bread. The brie really should be on that show "Best thing I ever ate.". We always get the Tannat - a great recommendation by Parker. I had the rib eye & lobster and my wife, the white sea bass. The portions were quite significant, which doesn't really fit a french restaurant; however the quality of their meats & seafood and decadent flavors represent french cuisine well. Even the souffle was amazing & timed perfectly.

Sharon Polsky

19:40 04 Mar 19

This is one of my FAVORITE restaurants. I drive all the way from Long Beach to enjoy their amazing food. The prices are so fair. The wine list is INCREDIBLE. Where else can you get a Bison RibEye, elk and boar....I brought a friend with me for the first time yesterday for brunch and he was blown away....Yesterday we had mushrooms, ravioli, bison and elk....AMAZING!!!

One of my top spots for delicious French food. Visited Sat afternoon. The service here is outstanding.

Tim Farron

05:55 14 May 19

This is one of the very few restaurants where attention to detail still means something. The staff go above and beyond to make sure that every guest is satisfied. There is a reason that people travel the distance to eat here, it was a 90 minute drive for me to get there but well worth the trip. If you are looking for a unique dining experience I would STRONGLY recommend Le Chène.

Fabulous! From the warm bread, to stuffed mushrooms, delicious cream of mushroom soup, the lobster and steak combo, and Juan's scalloped potatoes, a treat to behold. Yum, a favorite of ours.

Dan F

19:38 07 Jul 19

Great place. Love to go here for escargot or the shrimp appetizers. Soup of the day was cabbage and very good. Have had many plates here and always very good. The drinks are what you would expect from an establishment like this. Further more, join Reyes Winery membership down the street and get 15% off on food here, what a great deal.

Vlada Tkachenko

00:54 08 Jul 19

Wow! What an experience. You feel like you are the most important guest. The food and vine are magnificent. The service is excellent. The atmosphere is magical. Thank you Claudia, Juan and all your crew for a wonderful time. We will definitely be back.

My wife and our friend Bill, had a wonderful lunch at LeChenes. The food and service was fabulous !!..... We were driving by and thought they were open because of all the parked cars. Turns out to be a wedding party.......Bill happen to know the owners and he told us to come on in and have lunch with him anyway !... Thank You LeChene for your hospitality !!!!!....

15:22 17 Nov 19

For the awesome country french food hidden on Sierra Highway between Santa Clarita/Palmdale is a menu written in a Chalk Board. Come taste basic french essential food choices. Dip your bread in the sauces. Pick a pricey wine from their wine cellar, made back in your favorite year of youth. Command it to your table. Get married here creekside in a lovey french grotto. Or for a most memorable celebration.

Hidden gem on an old highway. Drove past this little restaurant and came back hours later when it was open. The old rock front building hides a little paradise. Beautiful inside opens to a patio and garden area used for weddings. It is expensive, has a huge wine selection and great food. Will be going back.

Gaz Middleton

03:13 01 Jan 20

If anyone is interested in nostalgia then this restaurant was called Chuck's Cafe back in 1971 for the movie Duel directed by a young Steven Spielberg. The late Dennis Weaver got into a bit of a fight in there. After all this time the outside still looks similar.

james randall

17:40 13 Jan 20

My wife and I decided to celebrate our anniversary here. We were very shocked. This place is very deceptive from the outside..a lot more room than you can see from the street! Nice, atmosphere and good ambiance. The meals were spectacular! My wife had the Atlantic sea bass, and I went with the buffalo steak. Absolutely delicious! We also had dessert, which was hard to select, because everything sounded wonderful. If you want a lovely meal, in a wonderful, semi-secluded area; I recommend coming here! We were very pleased with the staff, meal, everything.

Neymar Hardin

17:13 25 Jan 20

This place is unquestionably one of the tastiest restaurants in the region. Every time I go there I am very satisfied. They manage their high standard service and the topmost level of food they give. You no doubt will love this place. Warmly recommended.

I went here for dinner the other day. The wine and Elk was excellent! Bryan was my serve. He was super professional and cared for my well being. He made my experience at this fine dining restaurant very convenient. I will be back here for more and try out their brunch menu! I'd choose this place anytime. Props to the chef!

Bill Hurst

19:14 14 Apr 21

Have loved this restaurant for 30 years. GREAT FOOD, nice atmosphere and nice staff. I consider this the best French restaurant. Its considered country French so its different than what most people think of as a French restaurant. You have to try it to understand.

Cynthia Gstettenbauer

19:40 17 Apr 21

We were seated right away with our reservation despite the fact we were late. Had to drive over an hour. The servers were timely and consistent. Food was delicious as well as the champagne for our brunch. We skipped dessert as the meal was very rich and filling. Would have preferred to be either outside or in another dining room than the bland front entrance room. All in all it was excellent.

James Hoffert

18:37 20 Apr 21

Amazing grounds, home grown wine, and an impressive menu. If you're looking for an exceptional meal experience, Le Chène is the place.

Irma Gracia

This place is so romantic. You can eat in the patio area. Food was so delicious, pricey but worth it. We went for our 48th wedding anniversary and we got a free dessert. Very friendly staff.

The best French restaurant in Los Angeles. The food is magnificent mouth-watering, the atmosphere delightful. Worth the drive to Agua Dulce. Five stars on wine. Great brunch on Sunday.

This place is on Sierra highway it is small but very delicious. The atmosphere is very tranquil the owner is amazingly nice and recommended our dinner which was delicious! I visited for my birthday And everything Jose (owner) recommended was delicious, thank you for the great experience. If you eat outside I believe It's better because you're outside enjoying fresh air, the seating area is nice and there's a nice little pond you can hear the frogs. If you want to take a little walk while you wait for your food It's also nice.

James Helm

18:30 20 Jul 21

I met a friend for a post-COVID reunion on Sunday. We enjoyed an unlimited champagne brunch. The restaurant was uncrowded and the service was excellent with a friendly server that was very attentive to our needs. The food was of course wonderful. We enjoyed catching up after nearly two years and the easy going atmosphere added another level to the experience.

Daniela Chacon

05:28 24 Aug 21

My family and I love this restaurant. The food is great and you can taste the quality of the ingredients used. We have been eating here for a couple of years and every meal we have had has been excellent, but over the weekend we were extra impressed by the service. The server, whose name is Joshua, was super great. As he walked by we would ask for coffee which he would get quickly and he even ran after someone who forgot their food. Joshua was really nice and super helpful. I highly recommend eating here. The food, service, and area is great!

Debra Durkee

01:29 25 Aug 21

The Service at LeChene is always exemplary! The meals are prepared to perfection, no matter if it's Rare or Well done that you ask for. The deserts are prepared fresh daily and are a "cut above" all competitors.

Edward Mahler

Perfect. French onion soup... perfect. Crab cake and lobster ravioli.....perfect. Duck a la orange , chocolate souffle, cheesecake, sorbet.....yep....perfect. We shall return......after we save up a bit.

Awesome food, great service. Found this restaurant 10 years ago tucked away on Sierra Hwy. Great food, friends, wine selection. Hidden gem.

John Lemmerman

00:31 23 Nov 21

Amazing French cuisine. Pricey but worth it if you want to spoil yourself or your significant other. Great wine selection, but I can't drink wine personally (heartburn) so I can only pass on what I've been told.

Michael Finley

19:54 05 Dec 21

There is a reason why this restaurant has been in business for so long even though it's a distance from civilization. It's simply excellent. Delicious French cuisine in a building that's reminiscent of a French countryside castle. This is the first place that I tried Escargots and now I understand why the French eat snails. Everything here is excellent; you can count on it!

Abigail Garcia

22:35 06 Dec 21

My boyfriend and I went into thinking it was a little cafe. And was shocked by how nice it looked. The prices are well worth it, the staff is so kind and friendly. The food was amazing and the desserts were so good. Would definitely recommend going for special occasions. It's in such a nice little area.

Poika Liika

22:05 21 Jan 22

Had dinner during happy hour in the bar which has a good subset of the excellent meals that are on the dinning room menu, but with a 25% discount. Great appetizers and desserts and of course a good wine list.

Great service, beautiful dining experience. The food is amazing, and the servers are more than happy to answer all of your questions if you are not so familiar with French cuisine! Definitely recommend this location!!

Rosie Martin

This is one of my favorite places!! The service is great! They are very attentive to their customers. Everyone is very friendly. It makes you feel welcome... The food was delicious! My salmon tasted so good. The sauce gives it a good kick. The ribbon was cooked to perfection. You don't need steak sauce at all!! Try it out!! you will be surprised!

Bob Hall

16:04 19 Mar 22

The five stars are a given, but to top that are the specials they run including their great weekend brunch. A recent St Patrick’s Special made for a wonderful evening and some Great Corned Beef and Cabbage, a Guinness and Entertainment. Almost makes you bagpipes. They had their special meals plus their full regular menu, which is extraordinary. The bar is beyond fully stocked. A great place to meet your desert friends half way.

paul cruz

Have had lunch there twice. It’s out of the way for me but worth the trip! The atmosphere is so warm and appealing that We have decided to plan our wedding there!

Charming and pretty much perfect. In my opinion, this is the only great restaurant in Santa Clarita. Of course, there are other good restaurants, but to me nowhere else is really special. Le Chene has it all, a professional and welcoming staff, a beautiful and serene setting, a full bar, a good wine list and wonderful food. It's a bit of drive into the canyon and driving back after a leisurely early dinner here among the oaks , it feels like i just had a vacation in the countryside.

REDMAN 367

Absolutely one of our favorite places to dine! Excellent food and service......we try and make here when in town. Don't forget to check out the back outside area.....what a beautiful space.

The drive up to this place is very cool, I had a chance to check out their website before going and got a quick history briefing on this place and it's definitely cool to see it. The food was amazing and the drinks were really great also. It's a bit on the expensive side but it's an experience. The appetizers were fantastic ( mushrooms, and ravioli) and the entrées were really nice as well.

Amazing food. Great experience. Our server Amanda was great. The service is as great as the food. A must go to if your looking for some of the best French food in LA County.

Always a great place for a good meal. Been going there for more than 20 years and they never disappoint. We make our parents anniversary an annual special night out here. Just celebrated their 61st.

This is our absolute favorite French restaurant by far. Quaint, classy and tucked away, they serve country style french cuisine, which translates to larger portions than usual for a french restaurant and you can taste the love in their delectable dishes. Simply exquisite. It's also one of the most romantic restaurants we've been to and the service is excellent.

Food was delicious excellent French cuisine.m. Less one star because there was a little too much sauce on dishes of some of the people's I was with. Great service!!! Beautiful setting for a wedding. Thank you LaChenne.

This is my favorite place to eat. My husband and I come here every year for our anniversary and our birthdays if we can. I order the same thing every time because it's the only place that serves it. My husband tries something new, and it never disappoints him. Everything they make is fabulous, and I am not exaggerating. If you want some great food with great service, alone or with your family and friends, this place has it all. I give it 100 stars because they are just that good.

My wife and I took my brother-in-law and his wife here for their anniversary, and it was a fantastic experience. We started with happy hour drinks in the bar, which were great, and then moved to the dining room. For the Hor d’hoerves we had the Stuffed Mushrooms and the Brie which were both great choices. For my entree I had the Sand Dabs which were also amazing. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food and the overall experience. I would highly recommend La Chene for a special evening out.

First time having authentic French food. It was very good. I had frog legs and they were very tasty. We also tried the rabbit, which had the texture of pulled pork, also very delicious. Would recommend as a nice date place when you're in the mood for something different.

the food was great and very delicious, the only thing i did not like is the waitress that served us, we were about 15 people, she forgot to put the order in for one of the guests, also she put my ordered dinner plate in front of the other guest even though she had just asked who has what. she has no smile on her face, i was more polite and was thanking her and had a smile on my face..than her. I don't think she enjoys what she is doing, you can tell she is not a happy person. otherwise i strongly recommend this place.

Soooo yummy! Second time here! Service is amazing! Perfect date night place! It's secluded and perfect little get away in the city. The food is always good and the desserts are very unique! Never fails us!

The food is amazing and be aware pretty big portions. I cant wait to come back and try more stuff. The bad part for me is their huge menu, makes it very hard for me to make a decision. The restaurant it self has very unique layout.

Delicious food. Writing this review the awesome flavor of their rack of lamb is tickling in my brain. Not the best visual presentation on the plate, not the fanciest decor, but oh yeah the food is solid. The servers have this down to earth bro feeling which is pretty cool. Totally recommend.

Great place. They love to deliver authentic French food. I also love the authentic French service. The wine selections were great that night and the food was on point.

We visited Le Chene on a Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, it wasn't open yet, but Juan Alonso, the owner, saw us looking at the property and offered to show us around. We've posted a few photos of the premises. As others have said, the back yard is absolutely beautiful. The property is surrounded by vineyards where Juan is growing grapes for some of the delicious wines he makes. We tried and it's wonderful! This is one of the most serene and peaceful locations I've visited in the Santa Clarita Valley. You can actually imagine yourself in a restaurant in Europe! Juan has owned Le Chene for nearly four decades and it's truly a destination. He is a fascinating individual in his own right. Now we have to plan a return trip to dine and see what everyone is raving about.

Service was great. Shrimp appetizer was very tasty as well as the salad and soup...ordered ribeye for main corse, it was cooked correctly but lacked the flavor i was expecting. Desert was amazing, ordered the chocolate souffle...definitely will go back to sample some of the other menu items.

Great restaurant, service and decor (open and light with outside deck and garden), but needs attention in a few areas: long list of cocktails but pretty much all vodka based. Nothing making use of all the great aperitifs and spirits of France! The list of red wine by the glass was only 5, most made by the owner. I tried the Tannat which was admittedly good but more French options would have been nice. On the other hand the food menu was enormous which was a concern though what we had was very nice, though the morels in the sweetbread dish were not very evident. And the vegetables were perfectly prepared and cooked.

Lovely Thanksgiving meal with friends and family. Got the goose special. Goose was nice and moist. Everyone enjoyed the food. Seating was prompt. And our waiter fondly renamed to Jeff was a joy.

The dining room is small but there is created privacy with a good use of room dividers and drapes. There was no blaring music and the acoustics were excellent: Voices did NOT carry and we were able to enjoy ourselves. The service and food were outstanding and abundant! We had two servers tending to our needs and took home a large doggie bag. We had the sampler plate ( for two) since we have never had Ethiopian food before. There was a nice pickled cabbage dish, some white cheese, salad, a hard boiled egg, corn and numerous meat offerings. We'll definitely be back.

The food was very delicious. However most of the people walking around are not wearing masks. I'm glad to see them open.

Food was great and I mean really, really good. Drinks were expensive and weak. For $16 a drink I expect to feel something after two large drinks. I’m a total lightweight and normally two drinks would have me very buzzed, my husband and daughter had 3 and also no buzz. Spent over $100 on drinks for zero buzz for anyone. Will go back for the food, but not the drinks.

Very nice people and nice spot. The food was ok though a bit heavy on salt. Good spot for a wedding and reception but not worth the hefty price for dinner during the week.

We have visited this restaurant a few times. The location is perfect. The patio is stunning. Specially at sunset. You don't see it but the sun rays coming through the trees is beautiful. The food is always great but may be I bit overprice. Great location for a romantic dinner

Great authentic french bistro. Very cool atmosphere. So glad we heard about this place as we almost never get to the Santa Clarita area.

I've been here at least 6 times. The wait staff is friendly. The food is pricey. On my latest visit the sauce on my veal shank was too salty and seemed out of balance with the rest of the plate. The broccoli puree was too salty as well, but the baby carrots were perfect. However, baby carrots should not exist on an upscale French cuisine​ plate. The veal itself was tender and flavorful, thank goodness. I ordered cream of cauliflower soup which was outstanding. I may think twice about coming back because the chef must be getting old tastebuds if he thinks the food is balanced for an experienced palate.

I got carded (26) sitting at a table of 40+ year olds, and they tried to serve us warm champagne. My family has been coming here for years, my mother waitressed here, but it's really gone downhill lately.

Ok food, great atmosphere. But overpriced. Huge wine selection, but the food was just ok. I'd rather go elsewhere.

Came for my first time to this restaurant on Mother's Day with a party of 12 people. The outside is pretty, but the interior requires updates. The server was unprofessional and it took forever to get our meals. I had ordered a soup for my entree and didn't receive it until everyone one else was almost finished with their meals. The server never checked on us to see how we were or if we needed anything. For the high price of the meals, I expect excellent quality service, however, I was very disappointed.

We've eaten here before and enjoyed the fare. Last night was a disappointment. The orange duck sauce was uninspired, thick and coarse. The duck wasn't cooked in the sauce, the sauce was just ladled on after the duck was plated. Meh. Bottom line, the orange sauce detracted from instead of complimenting the meat. The dining room was uncrowded, but they chose to seat us right next to another table with, unfortunately, a motor-mouth. The good: Service was great, which saved the evening. Portions are generous. Soup and salad were both delicious, as was the chocolate souffle!

The service is nice and pleasant. Food on the other hand could have been better. Lamb chops was delivered but all the seafood entrees we ordered were terrible. Recommend going for anything else other than their seafood.

Really shakey service... a waiter spilled plate juice on me staining my slacks and shirt. Water glass was empty a few times. Food was good, but massive portions, and VERY rich. Very diverse menu with small town fine dining ambience.

We had a great New Years Eve dinner. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star is because of how the food is plated. They should really switch out all the blue plates. They are very cheap looking!! Also the food was slapped on the plates without any food presentation. My chicken in wine sauce looked terrible but it was good. Our will for two with one glass of wine each was $365 including tip and tax
