Inspired by the birthplace of the original Parisian brasseries along the Left Bank of the Seine River, Left Bank Brasserie is an authentic Parisian-style brasserie by Chef Roland Passot. Left Bank pays homage to the joie
de vivre that is synonymous with the Left Bank neighborhood in Paris. Guests are invited to step into
French culture, in a vibrant, social atmosphere that captures all the charm of traditional brasseries
and iconic alfresco dining of France. An all-day menu features authentic French cuisine utilizing
seasonal, local and organic ingredients, and consists of iconic lighter fare such as oysters, tartare and
prawns provençal, in addition to heartier classics like coq au vin and beef bourguignon. Inspired by the

wide range of rotating taps, seasonal drafts and bottled beer, and an expertly-curated wine selection.

    The Salad Verte was a small bowl piled with huge pieces of lettuce and topped with very oniony dressing. It was impossible to mix or cut or serve from the small bowl. The waiter didn’t bring the right utensils or the correct bowl for empty shells for the mussels, the Brussels sprouts on their menu was a “mistake” - told to us AFTER the rest of our food arrived.

    On a cold, rainy night, Left Bank, and it's cozy fireplace and interior, was the perfect place. Just bring back the Boeuf Bourguignon! Cassoulet is always awesome.

    Everything was fabulous. They had live music. It wasn’t so loud that it disrupted you. Tons of choices. Waitstaff was super helpful and nice. Great drinks. Can’t wait to go back.

    Croque Monsieur and the special salad of crab, mango, arugula and more was excellent. Service was great. Always a great stop for a slice of France in the neighborhood.

    Everything was, as usual, top shelf. One question - Why are the lights in the restrooms so low and dimly light?? and, why were the light switches taken out? This applies to both bathrooms. Not a good change for older customers, of which there are always quite a few.
