    We enjoyed a delicious lunch served by ,Enrique, who was professional, welcoming, attentive and friendly. The local Fanny Bay oysters were delicious, chilled with mignonette and cocktail sauce. Escargot were delicious and served with toasted bread. Outstandingly different were some of the best calamari ever! Served on a bed of mustard aioli, perfectly tender, well fried with onion strings and string beans. I would go back for the calamari alone! Not a pear lover, Enrique, ordered the crab salad for me with a Dijon dressing instead of the pear vinaigrette. The crab was fresh and delicious but frankly, not enough of it for $35. Also had the Cassoulet which was delicious but contained only one piece of very fatty duck. Both the crab salad and the Cassoulet were daily specials. Despite nitpicking of these last two items, the food here gets our highest rating. They have a lovely wine list and since we were celebrating a big anniversary we had a delicious sparkling rosé and an outstanding glass of Frank Family Chardonnay. A very satisfying experience all around dining at Left Bank, Larkspur….the original!

    An excellent meal with friendly, attentive service to celebrate Christmas Eve. We especially enjoyed the duck confit, salmon, and Buche de Noel. It was pleasantly quieter than normal as the dining room wasn’t full.

    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.
