Left Bank

Today is my old dad's birthday and we visited the restaurant. I liked everything very much: silence, non-intrusion of the waiters, atmosphere and, of course, food. Again, as if she visited the French province. Crispy toasted bread and snails - I love these sensations. second visit to the restaurant and again successful!

We ate lunch here today and the wine & food was delicious! We sat outside and the weather was nice. Had Bordeaux wine with French onion soup, steak tartare and steak frites. Our server Cesar was excellent and we had a few good laughs.

Wow. My partner picked out this location for lunch. Really wonderful French bistro setting in Menlo Park. Beautifully decorated for the holidays. She had the Beef Bourguignon and I had the Raclette Burger with Maple Glazed Pork Belly. The Beef Bourguignon was delicious and flavorful. I found the pork belly addition to the burger to be more than I was looking for so I proceeded without that. The burger was awesome and cooked exactly how I asked. The side of fries were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Just the way I like them. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Would highly recommend.

We randomly walked by and decided to have our lunch in Left Bank, it's packed outdoor and only have few tables left indoor in July 4th weekend Saturday.
And all the dishes we ordered remind us of our previous trip to Lyon. & We can't believe chef & owner Roland Passot was indeed went to cooking school in Lyon after Google who's the chef. All the Lyon memory came back while we are enjoy our lunch.
The service is awesome, my server Fernando is very attentive.
Cocktail is top notch, I was blown away by the ooh la la plum cocktail.
Cheese fondue is amazing.
Love this place, I highly recommend it if you love southern France cuisine.

We weren’t eating at Left Bank for a few years because the food wasn’t great, but we went back last week and ate there twice because it was SO good! Our meals were cooked to perfection. Both instances we asked for medium cooked steaks and got them. The Roquefort butter as well as the peppercorn sauce was delicious to try with it. The French onion soup was one of the best we’ve had in a while. The service was excellent both times. We’re happy to start eating here again!

Loved the ambiance. Felt like a bistro in Paris. Food was excellent. A fun night

Excellent French Fair that reminds us of the taste of Lyon. There cheese fondue is very special, and it's a must try. Even though the swiss invented fondue, this French restaurant have taken it to another level. And the beef bouguignon is just something out of this world. Last time we had this dish that's this good was in the city of Nimes in the French Riviera. Now we don't have to fly there to enjoy it! So If you are into French food, you have to pay them a visit. And trust me you won't regret it.

The seafood is amazing. Definitely try it. Service was ok, very short staff.

Pretty good French restaurant in the heart of Menlo Park. The bread basket is a must order. I enjoyed the various kinds of bread. Butter could have been softer. The truffle fries are great sides. I went vegetarian here and ordered the tempeh and beans dish. I think they did a good job for what it was.

Delicious, authentic French cuisine in a charming environment

I've dined at LefrBank several times. The service is always excellent. The atmosphere is great. I always order the Duck. This time it was absolutely terrible. It was extremely dry and on a bed of white beans. I will never order that again, but I will return.

Amazing food, especially escargots 🐌

We thought the food was tasty! The peppercorn sauce with the chimichurri steak frites was delicious as was my wife’s ravioli dish. Nice outdoor setting in the courtyard of the mall was great to relax and people watch with a prickly pear margarita.

A true French experience! This restaurant's architecture, design including the winding staircase and tile work is very similsr to a much older restaurant in New Orleans called Palace Cafe on Canal Street! The food is by far the most authentic French Bistro cuisine in the Bay area! We had the Steak Tartare with raw quail egg and toast points, Mussels with white wine, spinach and braised onions served with flame heated bread, French Onion Soup then Croque Madame and Nicoise Salad. The complimentary bread was baked with fresh olives! Service by Carlo was exceptional!

I wish there is a 4.5 star rating. This is place is really good. The service was wonderful. The waiter was super friendly and pay exceptional attention to details. He came by to ensure we have enough coffee. The food was overall pretty good. We ordered the mushroom risotto, grilled sausage, escargot, and truffle fries. We liked everything, except the risotto was abit out of place. I was expecting a more 'soupy and saucy' type of risotto. I am no risotto expert and I know there many different ways to cook risotto, but the way they make it wasn't my cup of tea. This is just my personal standard, so I don't want to take off a star from the rating because of my subjective opinion. So I give them a 5-star and really call it a 4.5 star.

I had a great time here for an event. Theres a nice party room for about 30 people. Their steak, salad, and dessert was phenomenal. Id highly reccomend the food here. The service is also excellent. The servers continue to make sure your drinks are not empty and they ensure that the food is correct.

Wonderful experience! Haven't been here in years. It did not disappoint. Highly recommend the charcuterie.

Delicious French omelette with sides of roasted potatoes and fruit. A strong Bloody Mary and Old Cuban complemented our brunch at an outside table with friends in Menlo Park. Excellent service and live music make for a relaxing start to Sunday.

Pleasant outdoor seating with classic French cuisine. Happy hour specials are worth going early for. I love the mussels and burger!

We had a wonderful early dinner. It was fabulous.
