   Although the restaurant was only about 1/3 full, service was very slow.

   Our server - who has been at Left Bank for a long time, was simply fabulous. They even brought my lunch companion a birthday cake with a candle. Everything was very good (expensive, however, but that is getting to be the norm).

   Food was good, service was rather lackluster. restaurant was very cold inside which made dining uncomfortable. Not on a par with Left Bank at Santana Row. I won't be back.

   I was surprised to see music set up in the big dining room at 6pm. We wanted to talk so sat outside. All servers seemed to be maxed out even though the main dining room was nowhere near full.

    The menu is a classic bistro menu and usually just one special. They have perfected the entrees, so all are good choices, depending on your mood. We live in town, so frequent often throughout the years. My only disappointment this time was the lackluster service. Our server was suited more for a diner, and did not have the professionalism of a nice restaurant. I had to wait or get someone else, 3 times for miscellaneous things-a spoon, ordering dessert, checking on our entree, etc. I don't think she had exposure to a nice restaurant, but with proper training, she could improve. It did definitely diminish our experience, unfortunately.
