    It’s been a couple months since we came back. Last time food was so so, I can say kind of went downhill. Service though has always been pretty good. But yesterday was soooooo much better. Food was good. Service was also very good. It was Roberto. I watched him. He really looked around and paid attention to all his tables outside. Overall I saw an improvement. I also met one of the managers Alex. I spoke with him. He was in the kitchen. My guess was checking on all. I have been coming here since forever and since the beginning of Santana Row. I will definitely come back. It’s just a fun place to be. I had my 3 furry kids in their stroller. So we love sitting outside. Feel like Paris for sure. Keep it up Left Bank. You will get back all your regular customers to come back for sure.

    Our server Jill was amazing as always. If Jill didn’t work here me and my wife would be really sad. The staff supporting her is super terrific as well. The food was excellent as usual. Love this place all around. A plus plus.

    Great server and staff. Drinks were good, very limited beer offering (3), but great wine and spirits list. Food was good, not great - short ribs a bit dry, but salmon was very good.
