French food made for French people by French people. This spot is a neighborhood boîte straight out of a Tour de France video. Any beef dish will please you, & they really know their way around fish.
Dana MoyalSeptember 28, 2016If you wanna go to Europe for an evening, have dinner at garcon! Amazing food and great atmosphere. The steak was amazing as well as the mussels. Loved everything!
Jennifer BurlingtonAugust 23, 2012Amazing service even when completely packed. Amazing food. Don't expect a quick in and out. This place is in true French fashion - take your time and drink some wine.
- Marissa CSeptember 22, 2018Authentic French in the Mission. Oyster happy hour and great cheese selection!
- Grub CrawlNovember 10, 2010Jerome prepared a special Grub Crawl menu for us. We chose between Lamb merguez sausage "crepinette" or Grilled Calamari & Bread Salad. Both were delicious and paired with great wine. GRUBCRAWL.COM Read more
- A time-tested JEWEL of a French restaurant, Garcon is that kind of place you can return to time and again, only to have something completely new and perfect every time. Alors! Read more
Paull YoungSeptember 14, 2017Go for french classics here: french onion soup, steak frites & a big bourdoux
Bryan PangilinanMarch 3, 2013Pork tenderloin was moist and perfectly cooked. Pâté was heavenly. I'll definitely come back!
Mark SmallMarch 17, 2012Probably my favourite French restaurant in San Francisco. Jerome, Charles, Arthur, the entire staff are great!
Trisha FNovember 13, 2010Brian the bartender is everything you've read- personable & yummy drinks! Abe our waiter was awesome. Pumpkin soup to die for...
E MartinezDecember 14, 2011Try the Rabbit Loin Special - This dish was amazing... Rabbit loin cooked to perfection.
Rocco munozJune 12, 2010Never had a bad meal here... get a drink from brian the bartender. He received best cocktail award of the year for the Guardian
The shopsf deal has passed, sadly. The food is still yum and the atmosphere is cozy. Try cocktails are well balanced.
c bOctober 30, 2012don't come in if you might be underdressed, or the hostess will conspicuously ignore you until you get the hint and leave. the food is not worth the attitude.
ryan kingMarch 30, 2013Food is hit or miss, waiters use a fake French accent and they have a fake chef who walks around the dining room. Not worth it and I live around the corner.
Stacy MulloyAugust 12, 2010Avoid the french onion soup...consistency of an overeasy egg. Oysters, bread and wine were great though
jin kimJune 19, 2011this place has solid French food. don't believe the guy who says don't eat here. service was awesome too.
Kristen HawleyMarch 30, 2013Nope. Too-warm wine, overdone onion soup, and moldy (frozen) frites -- not even sure how that is possible.
Kelly RyerAugust 4, 2010Don't come if you're in a hurry. We have been waiting almost 45 minutes for appetizers.
