    Bon Delire does a great job of bringing a little slice of France to the Embarcadero. The decor and ambiance is decidedly very French, in a good way! The food is excellent and reasonably priced by San Francisco standards, the service is friendly and welcoming and the vibe is lively and fun! Highly recommend the deviled eggs, the escargot and the roast chicken but honestly, we loved everything we ordered! We can't wait to return!

    We had an early business dinner with a party of eight. Food was authentic French and very good. Service was solid. A bit pricey at about $100 a person - food, cocktail, wine. Well worth it and will return

    Server was attentive, but not overly so. Had great recommendations, no questions when we wanted to share a dish. Cocktails are always top notch. Scallops with bacon and balsamic was delicious! Although not what we thought we would order, the burger was also amazing.

    Hello! Food was great! Service was good! The only thing that was a problem for us was the TV over the bar. One couldn't help but look at it. Awful. We were unfortunately seated in the table area around the bar and the TV was unavoidable.
