    Their crepes are amazing! The wait staff could be more attentive in filling up our water glasses but overall it was an excellent experience, ambiance, and value. Give it a try!

    In the[past week we had both lunch and dinner at the Bistro. Both food and service were excellent. The hard to find buckwheat crepes were well prepared ;the egg cooked to perfection. For dinner I would not skip the brussel sprouts. The slight creamy texture added a pleasing touch. The overall ambience was that of an old, established Parisienne Bistro. Chaumiere Bistro is a valuable addition to the neighborhood. Don't miss it!

    Slow service. Fries for the table came out  at the same time as the main entrées. We had to ask for water refills several times.

    Party of 4 ordered several different dishes. 2 out of 4 entree were extremely salty. Brussel sprouts were fantastic.

    First time trying out La Chaumiere and was encouraged by reviews of many dishes. The room is small and opens up right to the front door. Some sort of host station or table would definitely help those sitting right by the door to escape cold winds whenever there's a new arrival! That said the greeting was prompt and warm and we were immediately ushered to our reserved table. The menu is pretty classic French bistro - which is quite nice as neighborhood French bistros seem to be an endangered species these days. We shared a very good Caesar Salad - nice white anchovies! - followed by the seafood linquini - which was delightful - perfectly cooked shrimp, scallops, mussels in a light wine sauce - just a touch of tomato and parsley. Shared also the steak frites - suggest as we did to order the bordelaise sauce on the side as you get a lot - which was cooked medium rare as requested. The accompanying hand-cut frites were so good - more places need to go the extra mile in presenting this dish. Our server was charming and took good care of the entire room along with the owner. Our only negative was wishing the owners would complete the "makeover" by removing the neon "OPEN" sign in the front window and the enormous Video Screen the hangs high above the room taking up an entire wall by the ceiling - and decorate that wall like the rest of the dining room. A few live plants wouldn't hurt either! But those are small dings and easy to change. What's great is that there is a traditional French bistro on Divisadero with a kitchen that takes care to turn out each dish expertly and serve with kindness and professionalism. Will definitely return!

    Our server was nice but not very attentive. We had to flag him to get a refill on our water. The steak of my friend was over cooked, well done instead of medium rare. They did replace the dish and gave us extra wine. My beurre blanc sauce was okay but why was there some sweetness to it?

    We had a terrific experience dining in our new neighborhood French spot, which just started serving dinner. The night was cold and stormy, so soupe à l'oignon, roasted lamb shank (incredible), and a solid boeuf bourguignon were just the ticket. The wine pairing was lovely, and the service very friendly and unobtrusive. Can't wait to go back.
