    Excellent restaurant from start to finish, we were here for a birthday dinner. Drinks; Sidecar-Cocktail and a glass of Redwine. Chesse plate, French Onion Soup that came right out of the oven with a well crusted cheese top, delicious. Mussels in Lobster Bisque and Duck Confit very tasty and temperature hot. We were delighted...great place to dine. Will return in near future!

    Cute place! Just like being in France. Service was excellent. Food was good. First time at this restaurant. Brought my husband for his birthday because he loves escargot & French onion soup. Disappointed it was a $75 prix fixe menu & neither was included. Will come back for those even though I was disappointed & it was an expensive dinner with limited choices & courses we didn't really want.

    We live within walking distance of La Bonne Table, and this was the first time we have eaten here. Be prepared to be blown away by the ambience, the service, the food! Christmas Eve was a prix fixe holiday dinner, and everything was absolutely delicious. The endive salad is a treasure; the trout almondine with asparagus and lemon butter sauce was superb; the steak frites were perfect, and the creme brulee was the best I've ever eaten. Our cocktails were spot on. Victor and Yo are the best - taking care of everyone personally in the lovely small French bistro. Yes, it was all that good. Wow.

    La Bonne Table serves a regular, limited and consistently excellent menu. There were four of us celebrating a birthday so we shared several appetizers and entrees. Great onion soup and escargot, and the crab lobster rillettes were surprisingly delicious. Every entree was great - we had cassoulet, the pork chops and the mussels. Large portions so leftovers the next day! Even the French 75 cocktail was great. We felt like we were in France; the ambiance was cozy and the neighboring patrons were friendly and chatty. A wonderful experience - highly recommend.

    Le Bone Table is always one of our favorite restaurants! The cozy atmosphere great for special friends gathering. The food, whatever selected is delicious. The service always at fine dining level. If you want the best duck or pork chop in San Diego, this is where to find both. All antes are very good!
