RÊVE is not that snooty, splurge-on-your-anniversary kind of French restaurant. Au contraire.This is your classic, everyday neighborhood French bistro run by Chef Paul Magu-Lecugy & his wife, Laura. That kind of cozy little place you’d imagine in Saint Michel or Saint Germain. Not smack dab in the middle of the 'burbs. But lucky for you, that’s exactly where 5-star chef Paul Magu will be paying homage to the French comfort food that he fell in love with as a boy growing up in Paris. We’re talking authentic French onion soup. Steamed mussels. Steak frites. And don’t forget creme brulee… 2021 -2024 Michelin recognized Open Table "Diner's Choice" 2017-2024Reservations available for 8 or less people until May.

    The service was a little slow m and kids menu was extremely limited. Overall the food was extremely delicious and well prepared. Everything came out hot and fresh. The chef even came around to the tables and spoke with everyone. I highly recommend.

    Bella Siena is our go-to spot for celebrating any special occasion. The food and service never disappoint. Since it was Valentine's Day we splurged and ordered the lamb tenderloins. So good! My husband doesn't like garlic mashed potatoes, but there was no hesitation when we requested a substitute. Our other entree was the salmon, which was perfectly grilled and served with a hash of spinach, onions, and roasted potatoes. I liked that better than the lamb. For dessert, we split the chocolate mousse cake. If we'd been at home, we would have licked the plate. We were not seated at the window, but still had a nice water view.

    A wonderful restaurant in the delightful village of Port Costa. The ambiance and service are top notch. The food is very good, though as vegans our choices were limited. We were able to put together a meal with some salads and side dishes, but would be nice if a thoughtful, non-pasta vegan main could be added. There wasn't any protein or fat in our dinner, so we left feeling a bit hungry, though the omnivore friends we were with were quite satisfied. We are hoping that the restaurant recognizes this issue so we can return and bring other friends in the future.

    This is one of our very favorite restaurants in San Francisco. Food and service are impeccable. It is particularly lovely to sit in the main room with the fireplace where they are often roasting meat. It is a special place. Don’t tell too many people!!
