The food is wonderful. I had the brussel sprout salad and the filet mignon. My waitress, I believe her name is Eva, she is so wonderful and made my dining experience very pleasant and comfortable. Thank you !

The duck confit was delicious as were the potatoes and salad that came with it. Our “Maitre d’ Eva was wonderful. The service from all of the staff was exceptional.

They sat us down promptly, recited the specials, as well as handed us our menus. The wine and appetizers were great. The environment was ideal for a reunion with old friends. The entire experience was great from start to finish.

RUN to eat here. The best meal I’ve had in SF after 7 years. Better than Quince, Rich Table, Osito, Earnest, Saison. I’m not even kidding and yes, I know those are different cusisines. The food is divine. Authentic French food and service (if they liked Americans).
