“I have eaten at Left Bank Brasserie many times over the years, as my son lives in Larkspur. Have also celebrated several milestone birthdays there. The food has always been first rate, and the service impeccable!“

“Sublime French cuisine in an awesome location. Great “secret” spot in SF.“

“Very intimate atmosphere, excellent food and attentive service.“

“Delicious and exquisite meal. We are very supportive of vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free diets and we are very grateful for that. The attentive staff made the experience even better. This was the most interesting and creative meal I have ever had in my life. Highly recommended.“

“My go-to when I'm in town! Fantastic food and service. Highly recommend!“

“Was it worth a few months for this reservation? I hate to admit it, but yes. Even after you’re seated, get ready to wait an hour for your soufflés to come out. But when they do, you’ll be in heaven. The soufflés were warm, light, fluffy and rich. We tried the salmon & asparagus, mushroom, and chocolate soufflés. All of them were perfectly done and delicious.“

“Brioche French Toast,My Favorite super delicious!“

“The view is comfortable and the dishes are exquisite. It is highly recommended.“

“The service, neighborhood, community integration with current events reflected in their menu. Today I experienced a fusion of Italian Heritage Culture thru food in their special event menu as we watched the parade at a curbside table.“

“I’ve ordered from Chouquet’s before on Uber Eats and it was so good that I had to come in and try it in person, and it was amazing! The staff were so friendly and attentive. Roy and Stefan were especially great and made us feel so welcome.
My family and I came in to celebrate my brother’s birthday, and Roy surprised him with a delicious birthday crème brûlée. The food itself was incredible. Our table was split between the Short Rib (tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked) and the Steak & Fries, which came with a rich black peppercorn sauce that tied the whole dish together beautifully.
My brother and I both have gluten allergies, and Roy took the time to go through the menu and explain everything thoroughly. They had plenty of gluten-free options, which made dining here so easy and enjoyable.
I highly recommend Chouquet’s for anyone looking for great food, warm service, and an overall wonderful dining experience. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Quince is utter perfection. A beautiful restaurant. As a solo diner, I sat at the 4 seat bar. Service was extraordinary, every dish and glass of wine was explained. And the food is tremendous - from the small pre-meal tastings to the small post-meal dessert tastings, everything is delicious and perfectly prepared. The tasting menu included caviar, fish, pasta, lamb and figs. The wine pairings were just right. A wonderful lunch ever.“

“great food, good prices.“

“Everything was AMAZING. I'm not sure why this place only has 4.4 stars (at the time of writing this), but from the atmosphere to the food and the staff, you can't go wrong.

Every flavor is matched beautifully, and the portions were light yet full of flavor. I'd highly recommend going yourself or with a group of friends!

*Note, this place was recommended by a French friend 😋“

“Marché is wonderful again! One of our favorite classics in Marin has once again become a favorite. We returned after many years when we heard that Olivier (from sadly shuttered L'Appart fame) was now at the helm, and he has worked with the staff and chef to make this beloved restaurant a very special place. From the addition of Happy Hour live music on the lovely patio, to nightly specials, the atmosphere and service are warm and friendly and the food is consistently delicious and creative.“

“We visit ISA several times a year, and we’ve always been delighted with the food and service. Their classic dishes are a welcome relief from other restaurants attempts to be unique but failing the good taste test.“

“Passed by on our first day in Sausalito and my wife was enticed by the French onion soup. She had that and the curry mussels. I had the lil gem salad and steak frites. Both were marvelous. The soup was the best my wife has had. The frites were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The steak was perfectly done and the peppercorn sauce added the ideal flavor. We finished with the chocolate mousse which had an amazing Carmel sauce on top.“

“lo máximo de crepas que he comido me encantaron“

“Been a fan of the Left Bank in Larkspur for years. First time I've been to Petite Left Bank. It was great. The service drinks and menu were all great. Mixed bag of tourists and locals. Fun indoor/outdoor scene. Definitely recommend going here.“

“Been going here for over 30 years, nice Quiet and great food“

“Pain au chocolat was phenomenal. Canele was mediocre. I had high expectations for a French bakery. Seasonal croissant seemed to be a berry crumble type double baked croissant. Tasty and fresh! Went on a weekday morning with no plans so the casual atmosphere and no line was nice and relaxing.

Their pate en croute assortment looked like art. Would’ve loved to try but hopefully another time.“

“The food, the presentation, the service.“

“Great place. Very peaceful“

“This wine bar is one of my favorites and it never disappoints. The wine list is always excellent, the escargots are truly the best, and the flatbread is amazing. I’ve been coming here for years, and I can honestly say it’s my go-to wine bar. Perfect for a date or for a full catching-up with friends“

“If I'm in San Francisco, it's a mandatory stop for me for an evening or late-night bite!“

“Love the place.“

“What an intimate special dinning experience !“

“Have dined at Le Chalet Basque for more than 20 years. Our recent meal with lamb chops, fresh vegetables, mashed potatoes and split pea soup served with crumbled blue cheese salad couldn't have been better. Fresh ingredients, great wine and excellent service will keep us returning again and again.“
