“Great food and service! Special atmosphere“

“I’ve died at Perle now about four times. Chef Rob Lam and staff do a great job. I took some photos and wrote about my August 2023 visit on @TalesoftheCork. Highly recommend, and will return.“

“There is a reason they sell out early everyday! Really delicious grilled pork, chicken or combo bahn mi. The fresh baguette is my favorite part. There is something about it that makes the sandwich taste even better than other places.

Great value. $6 per bahn mi. If you buy 4 sandwiches, you get a $2 discount. My favorite bahn mis!“

“This restaurant is doubtless one of the coolest restaurants in the area. Every time I come to this place I am deeply happy. They maintain their high level service and the topmost level of food they provide. You can never go wrong with this restaurant. Very recommended.“

“Truly enjoyed our dinner here. We ordered one additional dish alongside the fixed course, and every single plate was delicious and beautifully presented. I especially loved the variety of ingredients—particularly the vegetables, many of which were new to me and incredibly fresh. The flavors, atmosphere, and service were all excellent, and the price was very reasonable for the quality offered. Highly recommend!“

“One65 was an amazing discovery on our trip to San Francisco. Having spent the first half of our life in Montréal, Québec, Canada where it was hard to find a bad restaurant, we were absolutely amazed by this Bistro which looks more like a high end dining experience. The menu online & the photos attracted us to this location but we were amazed by the well timed service, the crisp white tablecloths, the table setting and the pleasant and calm atmosphere. My choices of charcuterie platter was perfectly sized; the chicken & the pork rillettes where a wonderful surprise. My husband had an onion tart with the crust as perfect as they get & which I envied. He loved his halibut, moist and tender and I raved over my grilled half lobster, so tender that I found myself munching on the shell parts as well. My bread pudding was not of overwhelming size & perfectly flavored. Don chose the Affogato (scoop of vanilla gelato « drowned » with a shot of hot espresso). We wanted to go back today but they are closed on Sundays.?“

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

“Came here for dinner on a Saturday evening with a very close friend.
We were warmly greeted by the very attentive staff. This family-operated restaurant has a very warm ambiance, conducive to conversation and fine dining.
Christie, the host, made us feel very welcome and comfortable throughout the evening. She patiently reviewed the menu, without rushing us to a decision.
For appetizers, we had the Escargot, the Liver Mousse, and the French Onion Tart, all expertly prepared with renowned Chef Bruno's innovative takes on these classics.
Our entrees were the expertly-prepared braised Oxtail signature dish, and the Sea Bass, the daily special also meticulously cooked to perfection.
We finished our great dining experience with delicious Chocolate Mousse and Creme Brulee.
Overall, this was a complete and perfect dining experience! Will definitely return, and will also highly recommend to friends and colleagues.“
