The staff was very helpful and the restaurant was very comfortable. The most difficult choice was the menu, everything looked amazing. The dishes we chose were the escargot and the mussels which were delicious.
Everything was great and smooth, food was great, it is very nice place and delicious onion soup! The only thing I am sad about is I ordered medium rare for my steak and obviously it is medium....Because this happened a few times to me in US I kinda think that medium rare means a different thing here.
Like truffle fries, good service
I highly recommend this restaurant!I tried to find French duck cuisines in San Francisco and tried theirs. Awesome dish and I literally clean the plate! It’s not greasy and crispy outside. The sauce has some plumb flavor but not overly sweet or sour. The dish was also not overly salty. Everything was in balance. Potato by the side was yummy also.I tried their snails but I didn’t enjoy it. It’s not flavorful and oily.But because the happiness of having the duck confit was real! I decided to try their desert: lavatory chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Perfect also!Notice, they don’t accept American Express card.
What an amazing bistro. Tastefully and great service. Onion soup, escargots, crepes, crème brûlée as delicious as it gets!!
Tried it over the years and very consistent..friendly service. Great food. The west location is slight better but more busy. Love the brussel sprouts, burger, chicken. You feel good and upbeat after a meal here
I was living in France for five years and I am falling in love with French culture and cuisine. When I came to the USA I was missing real French food and my French fried recommended Chez maman place. First of all servers and manager speak French there, second, food has taste as from restaurants located in France. You can feel fresh products and people of this restaurant know how to cook it in French style. Particularly i was glad to see French desserts. Thanks to this restaurant I have a chance to show my friends what is a French cuisine and not to fly to France every time. Unfortunately they don’t have reservations, I could not do it by phone, but I understand this place is popular because of gorgeous food. Merci❤️
Chez Maman is setting the bar quite high for french food. The service. The ambiance. The food. It is definitely not a surprise why Chez Maman has been around for 20 years, and the crowd for dinner is still not dwindling!The outdoor patio is perfect for day and night. The natural lighting of the day and the dim heat lamps of the night definitely set the vibe for a cute date, friend hangout, family meal, or business occasion. The servers are very attentive at all times. They made sure all of our needs are taken care of and consistently checked in with us. The table near us celebrated their birthday, and the staff helped the family surprised the birthday boy. WHAT A VIBE~We shared the French Onion Soup, Escargots, Les Moules with Fries, and Duck Confit for 2 people. We both thought the french onion soup would be heavy by the look of it, but it really wasn't. YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY GET IT. The escargots were fresh, imo. and the fries... I CANT STOP EATING THEM,,, yet the MAIN PLAYER is DUCK CONFIT. when you cut into it, HOLY MOLY, THE TENDERNESS. paired with the sauce, CHEFS KISS! the mashed potatoes too. how did they even do that! if you can only get one thing, get the duck confit. you will NOT regret! We then ended the night with some sorbets.Chez Maman lives up to its name with its welcoming staff, warmly ambiance, and delicious food. The way they make their customers feel... makes me feel fuzzy inside :DI will for sure return to the restaurant!
This place is a good one for french/ belgian style food. Servicewas good and quick. I just had meat as requested. No sides, no salt, medium and it came precisely and deliciously. Reccomended!
The French onion soup is a must. Croque madame & monsieur are fantastic. Go for the paninis if you want something on the light side.
