- MMarciaSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoIt 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.More infoBon DelirePrice: Expensive• French• Financial District / Embarcadero•4.7
