Best Bistros in San Francisco Bay Area

We had a wonderful dinner and a great experience—wait and bartender Sal was fantastic!.The food was amazing (oysters, chicken, haricot vert, mussels), and the service was friendly and attentive. Definitely have the crème brûlée. The restaurant is simply decorated and feels like a true French bistro. We’ll be back!

We had a very nice brunch at Cafe de la Press before the matinee at the Curran. I had the French Onion soup and shared a chicken salad. The soup was perfect and as expected. The salad was just okay...but good for sharing to get started. Others had the benedict and truly enjoy. A few had croissants....both regular and almond and said they were delicious. A long-time classic SF restaurant that keeps delivering.

Lovely dinner to celebrate a friend's birthday. We sat out on the outdoor patio which was nice and cozy despite the chilly weather that evening. Our server Arlene was friendly and gracious, providing the right level of attentiveness and interaction. The food was delicious as well. I love a good moules frites and the mussels were nice and plump and the fries were perfectly salted. It appeared there were other parties also celebrating birthdays the same night so if you are looking to have a good meal in a nice atmosphere, Reve Bistro is a great choice.

This was a great find! Brand new, only about a month old, at Pier 3. We decided to go with heavy apps. Everything was simply amazing and delicious! And our server, Rebecca, was just absolutely wonderful...attentive, engaging, knowledgeable and energetic! The rest of the staff were just as attentive and friendly! We had a great evening!

Isa is, BY FAR, the absolutely best deal in SF Restaurant!! I have never found another option with the quality and number of choices for the price, so this is the only place I go during restaurant week. For example, my meal last night: 1) delicious, intense lobster broth(more like a bisque) with several shrimp; 2) dungeness crab salad with lettuce and apple; 4) duck breast with sauteed apple and greens; 4) amaretto semifreddi. How much did those 4 delicious courses (substantial in size) cost? $65.99!! If you miss this deal in Restaurant Week - go anyway! You can get the same items on their a la carte menu, and they have a smaller prix fixe option on weekdays. Highest recommendation!
