- BBradfordVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •54 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAnother amazing meal at our favorite French bistro in San Francisco. Sit at the bar for more room and great people-watching. We had the most perfect escargot and steak frites that we have ever eaten anywhere in the world. Do not come here expecting a restaurant. It is a traditional french cafe/bar with incredible food and service.More infoBon DelirePrice: Expensive• French• Financial District / Embarcadero•4.6

- CCynthiaVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •14 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThis was a lovely experience. It was our first time, a reservation for two to celebrate an early Valentine’s Day. We arrived a little early and were warmly greeted by the hostess and shown to our table upstairs. The decor is elegant, but not stuffy. Our server, Leland, was excellent. He was very attentive, but didn’t hover; he had a warm demeanor and was very gracious with suggestions and explanations of the menu. Our food was extremely well prepared, and portions were generous. I had the sole, and my husband had the chicken. A highlight was the onion tart appetizer, such a flavor feast and a great way to start off a meal. We finished off our meal with an Americano and a most delicious chocolate mousse… so good, enough to share. ;) We’re so glad we came to Le Parc Bistrobar, thank you to everyone there for such a lovely evening!More infoLe Parc BistrobarPrice: Moderate• French• Financial District / Embarcadero•4.9
