Very slow server had to ask for water and coffee refills. Specially, when you factor in they build in a 20% tip if I wouldâve had a tip on my own, it wouldâve been about two dollars. Thatâs how bad the service was.

Solid option for when youâre in the area but not a stand out. The server key bumping my friend and also pushed his had out of the way when refilling his coffee, didnât say a word. His food also came out cold (eggs Benedict.)

Incredible experience from start to finish! Cannot say enough good things about every single bite of food. Cozy and wonderful- perfect for a date night, catch up with old friends or even a young family. I will dream about this meal!

Sisters came to visit. I heard of this place when I first moved to SF three years ago. Was such a let down once I finally got to try it this Saturday. $35 for the âpancake flightâ extremely dry pieces of bread for $35 ⊠We also got the âMexicoâ scramble. Came out cold, potatoes cold. Side sourdough bread came out stale. It is obvious there is co care for quality coming out of that kitchen. Beverage options were subpar. Please save your time and money and go to one of the many delicious brunch restaurants in SF. This is not one of them.

Two Bourride seafood with seasonal fish (barricuda) and it was spicy for me. I missed the chili flakes on the menu. I need to read more carefully. I read seafood and I stopped. I never knew french cuisine put chili flakes. It was edible but not totally enjoyable. The baguette had a lot of butter. The dinner roll was soft and warm. The Pate already slathered on toasted bread. It does melt in your mouth. I wished I can limit all that bread. Les deux cteme dessert one small creme brulee and one chocolate pot de creme (dense and creamy) my favorite. Great dinner. Tip added to price.

It was pretty good. They were out of 2 dishes we wanted when we got there at 6pm. The PEI mussels were small and a lot of empty shells with no mussels in the broth.

Took my partner here for a much needed date. Everyone goes to Zazie's for brunch but the real magic is their dinner. We got the polenta cakes, duck and paired them with a couple of glasses of wine. Such a perfect, relaxed dinner spot that takes you back to old San Francisco.

Went this weekend waited 45min for a horrible experience, we were sat outside and squeezed in an area, very uncomfortable, the food was all cold, we sent our soup back to get warmed up again and we never received it again, the menu says free tip restaurant that is why the prices are high but you can tell that the staff doesn't work for tips because they never came back even once to see how anything was, I had too wave someone down everytime I needed something, they were all gathered chatting instead of going to their tables too ask anyone how they are doing, very disappointed.
Decadent and delicious food with fabulous staff. Always feel blessed to celebrate my birthday at this gem...we've been going for two decades now and it never disappoints.

Absolutely wonderful--the food was excellent! It's been years since we ate here but we cannot wait to return!!! The tip inclusive process is great!

Great ambiance and back porch area, high-quality food and giant lattes. Excellent brunch spot.

Overall, a decent experience. Highlights: the Albert eggs benedict was delicious and the buttermilk pancake was very good (way better than the gingerbread and french toast in the Sarah Jane's flight.)
Low points: the hot chocolate was really watered down. Also, I really worry about the sanitary conditions of this place. The bathroom, the dishwashing, and the pass where the finished food sits before being served is all right next to each other and it's also the choke point where patrons walk through to get to the back area seating. The floor was also really slippery in this area.

We ordered the pain de mie French toast with orange cinnamon batter and the Albert eggs benedict. Unfortunately, the French toast was underwhelming â it was essentially just a plain piece of bread with very little flavor or effort, lacking the richness or creativity youâd expect from a French restaurant. It didnât feel like much was done to elevate the dish.
The eggs benedict, on the other hand, was fine and reliable. Nicely cooked eggs and a decent hollandaise, but nothing particularly memorable.
Overall, the experience was mixed. The savory option was satisfactory, but the French toast fell short of expectations.
Sooooo tasty đđ
