Jason HegyessyAugust 7, 2016Whenever I go here I wonder why I don't come here more often. It's great food in a wonderful environment with amazing staff & owner.
From the Owner-Chef, throughout the entire staff, the service and attentiveness are an absolute joy to experience. They top this with the Food, which is absolutely incredible! Haven't been? GO!- Philippe the chef is the nicest man ever, and if you get there before 5:30 I believe, you can get the 3 course early bird special, which is basically the regular 3 course menu but wayy cheaper
Kat 🐱December 21, 2016To me, the perfect Filet Mignon has a salty, crispy outside, and tender, juicy, medium rare center. Sad that they totally missed a good sear on the filet... Also the bass & oxtail dish was too salty..
Cody HardMay 29, 2017Bacon wrapped pork tenderloin was amazing, french toast was phenomenal. Was a great choice to celebrate our birthdays.
Zachary BurgesonSeptember 8, 2014Came here for our anniversary and loved every moment of this place. Superb service and outstanding cuisine.
Amy LeiAugust 29, 2012Their coconut basket with fresh fruit is amazing and very light and guilt free. Their chocolate lava cake was a disappointment, however. Mussels were a great app, comes with delicious fries
Lisa LooNovember 20, 2012Great neighborhood restaurant! All of the food was exceptional. And the chef made sure to stop by every table for thanking everyone for coming. I'll definitely be back!
Allison YuJune 6, 2015Best prixfixe deal around! $37 3 course meal from 5-6, Sun-Th. Every dish from apps to the duck to the French toast was so finely crafted
Lisa SanchezMarch 17, 2017Hospitable service and a decadent, comforting meal. Get the half glasses of wine, to try more of the great selection.
Priya BriggsApril 18, 2013Intimate setting but tables are too close together so it feels like others are in your space. Great service and generous servings of wine by the glass. Chef greets everyone. Food was nice. Dessert ok
ginny hJune 16Great food and service. Black cod was great. Get the salmon trio and Vol Au Vunt (mushroom tart)
Danielle PJanuary 3, 2016The trio of salmon and filet mignon with bone marrow are absolutely amazing. Also the French toast for dessert is soooo good.
- The Food is Incredible! The Service is Amazing! But the Wine List is an OMG!!!
- Simon TanNovember 9, 2017The French toast dessert really stood out as being amazing, but everything else was quite mediocre. Come between 5-6pm for a 3 course early bird special!
- Mihika VermaJuly 10, 2016The foie gras (special) and French toast are amazing. I loved the bouillabaisse as well
- Hana NaJuly 9, 2013WINNING for yo belly :) French toast dessert with salted caramel ice cream is such a treat.
- Elaine CourtneyOctober 6, 2011I always get the filet mignon with foie gras on it, this is definitely their best entrée ever! Also, the French onion soup was rich and creamy. Divine!
Louis ImersheinJanuary 11, 2016Everything is good the wine recommendation was awesome with our food as well!
Probably the best French restaurant in SF. The chef is super friendly.
BordeauxWinesJuly 16, 2012Onion soup, Duck Magret, escargots, a glass of Bordeaux wine… Yes, you’re in France!
Дина ЛукмановаJune 1, 2014Barman Michael est tres sympa)) Lava cake was just a bit dry but awesome in whole)) Very nice but very noisy place.
Melissa DagdaganMay 10, 2012Order the 4-course tasting menu. It is SUCH a good deal. You won't regret it!
Simply the best French restaurant in the city.
William NgOctober 28, 2017It’s alright. I enjoyed the dessert, but had higher expectations for the main course and appetizers.
Rose AJanuary 21, 2012Don't be afraid to try the escargot. The Salade Landaise is also quite delicious.
Noël DuanAugust 30, 2010Try their French toast with hazelnut ice cream for dessert. I wish they served this for breakfast.
- Elaine CourtneyJune 3, 2014Always filet mignon + foie gras for me, but since they stopped serving the latter, it's been a tad less impressive. Steak itself is still great! Rabbit (when available) = melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
Lauren HSeptember 29, 2010Seared foie FTW! Eat in the bar for a casual eve or do the early bird pre fixe for special occasion
shauna M.March 29, 2014Waiter was not nice about my google glass. Did not communicate 2 the kitchen about my peanut allergy. Ruined our 2 year anniv & additional celebration that I won't mention. No free desert or anything.
Lor 🐒 rieJune 7, 2010come on week nights or Sunday between 5 pm - 6 pm to get their prix fixe special!
