Love this place! With the new name they have added some bistro staples like French onion soup and escargot, but overall emphasis on expertly prepared fresh seafood continues. The legacy of the space as home to the AIDS quilt is still honored. Both the main room and the enclosed front patio area are warm and inviting. On a recent visit we had salmon and a unique delicious cassoulet. We will return!

We had a lovely experience, from being accommodated on our early arrival to having excellent suggestions regarding food and wine by our knowledgeable and charming server Flo. The atmosphere was warm and cozy and our food (including Escargots, Hanger steak, Coq au Vin, Floating Island) was delectable. I’m so glad we found L’Ardoise Bistro. We will make this a regular stop when visiting our daughter in San Francisco.
