- MCMichaelCVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •8 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAs a foodie, I'm comfortable saying that this is the best French restaurant in the East Bay. We've been going here Three or four times a year since the restaurant opened and it's always been great. Chef Paul and his team are awesome. The outdoor patio area is wonderful in the summer and covered and heated in the winter.More infoRevePrice: Very Expensive• French• Lafayette•4.8

- CCaroSan Francisco Bay Area •16 reviews5.0Dined on Mar 5, 2025Still a favorite. This time the my daughter’s mussels were a bit off but they replaced them no question asked. The oyster supreme are an amazing explosion of flavors, the tartar with truffle infused caviar and the bone marrow are a real treat, and the mushroom capuccino soup is so intensely good!! Gotta love this placeMore infoPerle Wine BarPrice: Expensive• French• Oakland•4.6
