Left Bank is a popular restaurant with a gorgeous interior and a comfortable outdoor seating area. The menu offers a variety of options, from steak tartare and cheese fondue to moules frites and Petrale sole. The margaritas, made with pineapple and prickly pear, are a customer favorite. The restaurant is known for its high-quality food and accommodating staff.
However, there have been some issues with service. On one occasion, the service was described as off, with customers having to ask for share plates, napkins, and water refills. The server also seemed unfamiliar with serving wine. Despite these issues, the food was still enjoyed.
The restaurant's environment is generally described as nice, although the temperature can be a bit nippy. The bread and butter take a while to arrive, but the food is served hot and is generally good quality. The salmon is a popular choice, but the portion is rather small. The cream puffs and ice cream are delicious.
The staff is described as kind and accommodating, but the seating arrangements may need some improvement. Some customers have been seated too close to a dishes/utensil station, which can be quite noisy. Despite these minor issues, the restaurant remains a popular choice for many due to its overall pleasant atmosphere and tasty food.
