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.

Been here several times and I have had some good dinners here mostly because it felt romantic. There is something special about this place which is mostly atmosphere. Soufflé with champagne is pretty good experience at this place. But the taste of soufflé itself isn’t as exquisite as it used to be (novelty and scarcity used to enhance the experience) and atmosphere is no longer doing it for me after several rude staff who seems to take pleasure out of putting customers walk on eggshell. I’m no longer overlooking cons of this place because I’m determined to have a good time spending $$$$ premium for marginally better French desserts. You may find yourself in a same situation and that’s good way to handle the rude service but you may think again before you decide to come back here.

Tried for months, no joke, to get a reservation; did not receive a return call after numerous attempts. Mysterious, opaque, seemingly snotty process. How anyone manages to actually have a meal here is beyond me

Delicious soufflés. We tried the shiitake garlic basil for the entree and the chocolate one for dessert. Didn’t order any appetizers which worked out since we could barely finish the meal, though we did have some of the baguette they brought out before the meal.
It’s a joy to watch the chef work in the kitchen! This cafe is a San Francisco landmark so make a reservation and go there to enjoy a 3-hr long relaxed meal.

If you enjoy souffles, this restaurant should be on your bucket list! It's amazing that Jacqueline is still making every dinner and dessert from scratch, herself! Everything we have tried both times we ate at Jacqueline was top quality and delicious. From the vegetarian French Onion soup, to the salads, wine, champagne, and of course, souffles!
Vegetarian options: French onion soup made with vegetarian stock, salads, souffles. Not a place for vegans.
Amazing as always. Jacqueline is a master at her craft of souffle making. Allow at least three hours (or more) to ensure you have plenty of time to dine.

Restaurant was empty but no walk in. They won't take reservations except call them and leave date and time you wish for a call back. WYF. Stone age non transparent reservation system. Good luck for a two months of not promising call back reservation.

One word: Exquisite. Both savory and dessert soufflés were absolutely delicious! We ordered the shiitake, basil, and garlic soufflé to share, plus the chocolate soufflé for dessert. Each were perfect! Make sure you call ahead for reservations and be prepared to enjoy!
