The food was amazing and the menu had so many things to choose from. The escargot was one of the best I ever had, you could get that and a bowl of bread and be very happy. The see bass was wonderful cooked and so meaty it was like eating a nice steak and just enough food for two people. The little apple brandy shots at the end we really tasty. Should have taken more pictures but I was to busy eating:)
Great experience overall. French vibes with an american twist. The fish and souffle dessert both tasted delicious
Dining experience was great - friendly staff, quick service and modern but romantic ambiance. Although the food was good, it wasn’t amazing. Had app, main and dessert. Cocktails did tickle the taste buds. Docked one star because for the price, wife and I would rather eat elsewhere.
Great service. Went with a party of 4 and ordered many different dishes. All were excellent. Have been before and it exceeded my expectations. Even had a Gordon Getty siting.
A standard French Bistro in a modern setting. The escargot is textbook perfect. The baked brie with orange mustard confit was a great contrast that came together amazingly. The chicken liver pate was deep in flavor, going beyond umami and fattiness. Mains were alright. The steak frite from hanger steak was alright. The pork chop on the other hand was on the lighter end to denote the porky flavor, and overall quite tender. Prices are definitely on the higher end for what you get.
Very good food, will be going back to try again. We stopped by for a snack while walking. Lost a star due to service, place was far from full, but too forever to get help, the food clear up, then coffee.
Excellent French bistro experience anytime you're attending a playing at Davies Symphony.Their tartare and bone marrow are excellent starters. I'd also recommend getting another side of bread as the one provided with the bone marrow is toasted as to not get soggy from the marrow.One thing to note regarding their entrees is that the sauces are absolutely on point. The peppercorn jus is an excellent addition to any dish. We had it through appetizers and entrees and it just simply works. The porkchop was a cut of Duroc, exceedingly tender and supple to the bite.We went on a Friday night and it seemed opening hours still had tables open for walk-ins, but it got notably busy by 6:30PM.
No gluten free alternatives left me no options except a $44 steak with fries for lunch. The steak, while cooked well,lacked flavor and could’ve been saved had it just had a bit of rock salt or garlic butter or rosemary as a garnish. The chef could have complimented the steak with 3 sticks of asparagus and mashed potatoes and it would’ve been classier and tastier than a mountain of fries. And the fries were average. The staff was kind, which lead me to leave 2 stars instead of one. Overall, a lackluster experience. I will not return.
We had terrific seafood and duck confit here and we can highly recommend both along with pretty much anything else on. the menu. There were good gluten-free options and our entire party enjoyed the meal from start to finish. Good service and a fun, bustling atmosphere in Hayes Valley. Highly recommended for solid French fare - but bring your wallet.
It was a real bummer to spend $200 on a mediocre meal that primarily tasted like parsley (both the lobster and steak). The potato leak croquettes were good, but the $64 lobster smelled fishy and had minimal meat on it.I was excited for a quality meal, but did not have one.My friend enjoyed her cocktail, at least.
