    This is a very good restaurant but something happens today. Service was extremely slow. We had to wait for over an hour between the appetizers and the main course.
    Little FrenchieResponded 2 days ago
    Merci beaucoup for your candid feedback and for being such valued guests—it truly means the world to us. While we’re thrilled you consider us a very good restaurant, we deeply regret that your experience fell short this time.

Your loyalty inspires us to improve every day, and we look forward to welcoming you back for the impeccable experience you deserve

    We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the ingredients and meal preparation. We had the beef short rib hash, bavette steak and eggs, and herb omelette. The only complaint is the hash had too many potatoes and not enough beef. Service was attentive and we enjoyed the experience.

    Service and food is always consistently very good and this visit did was not disappoint. We had the steak frites and pepper steak. I love the atmosphere, but be aware that when it gets crowded the acoustics are really loud (too loud for conversation).
    Little FrenchieResponded 2 days ago
    Merci beaucoup for your thoughtful review! We’re so happy to hear that our service and food continue to delight you, and we’re thrilled you enjoyed the steak frites and pepper steak.

    Best French casual restaurant in San Diego. Everything was made and cooked very well. The side salads could be spruced up a bit as it was just lettuce and nothing else. The Cruffin was lovely. The Benedict was amazing. The quiche was light and fluffy with a crunchy edge.
    Little FrenchieResponded 5 days ago
    Merci beaucoup for your kind and thoughtful review—it truly brightens our spirits, especially during this holiday season. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the quiche, Benedict, and Cruffin, and we’re grateful for your honest feedback on the side salads. Your insights help us continue to improve and bring even more joy to our guests’ experiences. It’s always an honor to be part of your dining moments, and we hope to welcome you back soon to enjoy even more of what you love.
