    We are sad that Mathilde is closing down. We just had our last diner here and as always it was outstanding! Cannot wait to dine again to their sister restaurant L’Ardoise! See you soon and thank you for the amazing diner.

    It was a very special Christmas Eve dinner! I first heard about this restaurant when it was reviewed in the SF Chronicle 11/3/24. It was as good as it possibly could be. The food was absolutely delicious. My daughter & I ordered the steak & frites & I asked for my frites to be very crispy & for 2 dishes of aioli to dip them in & they easily accommodated me. The steak with peppercorn sauce was tender and a perfect medium rare.

    Christmas Eve packed and not enough seating. Even with reservations a month out! Walk ins standing over us eating. Biggest problem space. Food excellent though I’d prefer on menu duck à l'orange for Christmas. Over all - very happy and lovely experience. Merci

    The menu is small but exceptional. Strange thing but the salad is the best i have ever had. Best greens. The crab croque monsieur was out of this world. Caviar and latkes a treat.
