- BBradfordVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •54 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAnother amazing meal at our favorite French bistro in San Francisco. Sit at the bar for more room and great people-watching. We had the most perfect escargot and steak frites that we have ever eaten anywhere in the world. Do not come here expecting a restaurant. It is a traditional french cafe/bar with incredible food and service.More infoBon DelirePrice: Expensive• French• Financial District / Embarcadero•4.6
- SStephenSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoValentine's Day 2025. Food and service were phenomenal (as has always been my experience). Although the menu was similar (if not an exact replica) to what was offered in 2024, the food is so delicious and there are enough options offered that they could keep it the same for 3 years and you'd still have options to try something new. One key "rave" is that last year they had no non-alcoholic beverages to offer, but we were both pleasantly surprised and extremely happy that they heard our feedback and had a few non-alcoholic options available this year, including a non-alcoholic virgin champagne which was *very* good. 10/10 would recommend, and would of course come back for more.More infoL'ArdoisePrice: Expensive• French• The Castro•4.8

- GGabrielaVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoI rarely feel compelled to write a review, but I came in with my 4-month-old daughter and Mark went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. The food was also amazing, but we will come back for the service alone!More infoChouquet'sPrice: Moderate• French• Pacific Heights•4.7
- MMikhaelSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoGreat little hidden away spot in NOPA. Fantastic food, you can’t make a bad choice if you tried. The space is rather small so during peak hours it does get a bit noisy, but in general is a great dinner date location.More infoBistro Central ParcPrice: Moderate• Italian• North Panhandle / USF•4.7
