   The charcuterie appetizer, New York steak & fries and onion soup was tasty and the portions were ample. The bread and butter was warm and toasty but was a charged item when most restaurants include it with the meal. There was live music in the dining area which made the dining experience more enjoyable.

   Service was great but…Food not great. Salmon overdone and portion smaller than I remember. Salad questionable. Disappointed.

   Don’t order the lobster roll. The lobster was fine, but the roll was dry and tough and not flavorful. That should not be the case in a French restaurant. They should have good bread. Very disappointing.

   Food and environment all good as always. Only problem is that for the steak, the waitress asked about our choice of New York vs fillet mignon without mentioning any price difference. The bill came out to be a little surprising. No big deal but could be an area for improvement.

   This dinner was not as good as I remember. I had to send the duck back. The skin was not crisp. Then the duck was overcooked. The onion soup was overly cheesy and slightly burnt. The soup was not plentiful more cheese than necessary. Maybe the staff should be better trained. I will be going to another French restaurant in the future.

   Service was extra, environment was relaxed. Had the burger and a variety of appetizers that we really enjoyed. It's been a long time since we have been here, and we are glad we came back.

   It was the perfect evening. Had a delightful meal with two of our best friends. The trio that was playing music made the evening even more special. Will definitely go back, especially when the music is available.

   The ambiance and menu options were so fun and delicious. The beet salad was one of the best I've ever tasted. We also enjoyed the artichoke ravioli, the petrale sole, the onion soup, and the fresh bread. We were seated at a lovely booth and the noise level was pleasant so we could enjoy conversation at the table. We certainly will return on another occasion.

   The food came promptly. My water glass was kept full. The food tasted excellent. Very happy with the dinner. I used my InKind app to pay for it which was easy.

    reservations were confirmed by phone for outside seating. They were not available at 6pm
    

    Left Bank Menlo ParkResponded 3 days ago

    I’m really sorry to hear about the mix-up with your reservation. That must have been frustrating, especially after confirming the outside seating. If you'd like, we can make sure to prioritize outdoor seating for your next visit. Let us know if you'd like to discuss it further or give us another chance to impress you.
