    We just had a delicious dinner at Le Marais in Mill Valley. Their brunch and lunch always hits the spot and now we know that their dinner is just as tasty. We had the endive salad and tuna tartar for appetizers and the salmon and roast chicken for our entrees. Everything was excellent including the service. The vibe in the evening is also very charming. It definitely felt like we were eating at a neighborhood Paris bistro.

    Is a gorgeous place you just feel really in the middle of Marrakesh. The food is incredible and the stuff is so sweet. My favorite is the couscous with lamb.

    This is such a cozy and romantic venue. Set in the tranquil and idyllic Village of Tiburon. The petit left bank is everything you’d want from a little French bistro. The menu is really good. I’ve gone there at least 10 times and the service and food have always been excellent. Looking forward to our next visit.

    Tucked away on a charming side street in Cow Hollow is this delightful French bistro that has stolen my heart (and tastebuds!). The ambiance is warm and inviting with soft lighting that casts a romantic glow and cozy, charming seating (indoors and out) with views of the quiet neighborhood. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home -- which is especially good since I spend about as much time eating at this restaurant as I do eating at home (I live across the street, and I am an awful cook!) But the true star of the show is the food. Every dish is flavorful, from the melt-in-your-mouth filet to the perfectly cooked coq a vin and duck confit. They also do a wonderful brunch with fluffy omelettes, quiche, eggs benedict, croque monsieur, french toast and more. And don't miss the frites -- they are great! The food portions are generous, and the ingredients are fresh and high-quality. Every meal I've eaten here has been delicious. If you're looking for a quintessential San Francisco French bistro experience, look no further! This hidden gem is a must-visit.
