    Great steak and fries but I would upgrade those spuds to the Pepin version with rosemary and duck fat. Wowzer!

    Yes, it's in an ersatz mall. But the space is FANTASTIC, & they seem to treat the classics right. Don't miss those pommes frites -- or the extreme suburban people-watching!

    One of the best spots on the Row fosho. Seasonally changing menu, organic farm to table food, fresh oysters, unique cocktails, and brunch. Plus you can watch the Giants game. Doesn't get much better.

    Try the salt cod fritters - a new appetizer on the menu. Almost as good as my mom’s! 🇵🇹

    The best onion soup! Better than all the onion soups I've had in Paris. The one I had in Lyon (where it originally comes from) was only just as good as Left Bank's!

    Get the fondue and try to snag an outside table. A lovely place to have a leisurely lunch

    Order the truffled Parmesan french fries and dip them in the fondue aux fromages for cheesy deliciousness. :)

    Try the Crispy Pig's Ear - Just a sample. Actually comes as part of a salad. Tastes good, sounds good as you crunch away.

    The exotic mushrooms were fantastic! The pommes frites were nothing to write home about, decent but not as good as other reviews made them out to be.

    Fries with fresh shaved Parmesan and black truffles. Really? They're insane. And don't get me started on the truffle foie gras butter.

    Got a large group? Reserve the big table out front. It's like having a private outdoor dining room.

    Mediocre American food in a French atmosphere. The food's not bad, but go to France if you want real French food - you won't find it here.

    Weekend brunch is the best.sit outside and keep an eye out for the local Frenchy pups that stroll down the Row. They're so cute!
