With the sunshine and cool breeze, the restaurant is wonderful to enjoy dinner. @Tracy is a positive force of knowledge about the menu, cocktails, and ensuring we had an exceptional experience. Wow, she is thoughtful and kind.

Good restaurant, lots of classic French dishes. Had the swordfish and french onion soup. Service was ok, atmosphere is 4 stars because the bar they own next door was playing music, as was Bistro Vida, but the songs were clashing with each other and not coordinated. It made for a really strange dining experience outdoor.

The most recent of many visits. Classic French bistro ambiance and menu with attentive and professional service. Outstanding French onion soup and Calamari. Boef bourguignon, steak fritters, and halibut entrees were all great. Authentic French bread and butter (no additional charge!). Excellent crème brûlée, mousse, and profiteroles. Moderate prices, appropriate to quality and serving size. A great meal and good time was had by all!

My favorite restaurant in Menlo Park. Tasty French food, excellent service - Tracie is my favorite!
Anne
The dinners for all three of us—sole, halibut, pork— were outstanding. Old favorites and specials. The only issue was outside porch is leaning a bit and the accoutrements out there seem a bit tired. Noisy other guests but they were having fun
Carol
I took my husband for Father's Day brunch. We each had a glass of prosecco and the eggs Benedict. They were one of the best eggs Benedict we've ever had! The eggs were perfectly cooked and the hollandaise sauce was excellent!! Relaxed atmosphere and great wait staff!

Not so good French food. They don't acknowledge birthdays. Just before 10 pm they were already asking us to leave. Not recommended.

The food and service were underwhelming. When my partner ordered sparkling water, the server asked if it was for both of us. I said I wanted a different drink and ordered that but was served sparkling water anyway. We also ordered a side dish that never arrived, though at least it wasn’t on the bill. As for the food, it just fell flat. The potatoes tasted like plain potatoes, no butter, no cream, no seasoning. The carrots and mushrooms were undercooked, and the beef wasn’t very tender. Nothing on the plate really tied together or felt thoughtfully prepared. My partner liked the onion soup though.

We are regulars regulars but last night was exceptional. The food was great and our French speaking waiter chatted with our bilingual grandchildren 17 and 20. It felt like home.
Roberta
Service and foods superb . The greeting/waitress was exceptionally friendly and advised a great daily special which was delicious ! My French spouse was quite impressed with the authenticity of the French cuisine !
Always have great food here. Today's special was gazpacho soup which was delicious and it was a hot day so it was perfect. Salvatore couldn't have been more patient, accomodating and fun. Go here all the time.

The food was just OK. Service was OK. It was slow getting our food. Asking for help at first was very "questionable".
Jerry
We were seated in the beautiful new Bar Loretta , but with the full Bistro Vida. The service was outstanding, our drinks were expertly crafted, and our meals were delicious. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

The service was a bit sloppy, with servers reaching their arms across our plates to put something in front of someone else. Other than that, they were okay. The food was great. And the atmosphere was lovely.

Delicious food, fun atmosphere. Went for a graduation dinner and had a great time. Gave 4 stars because the mussels broth was so salty it was not edible. Everything else was great.
