Located in the heart of Hillcrest, Au Revoir Bistro saw it's first day in November 2010, a new born of the Mastellone family (Arrivederci, Il Postino, Buon Appetito, etc etc). Typical Parisian French Bistro, Au Revoir, has a casual ambiance and an atmosphere that transports you directly to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Our French Homemade Cuisine is a perfectly inexpensive recipe, a little bit of tradition, an ounce of modern French cooking inspired by different regions, and a big cup of love from our Chef Dédé and his team. Some of the house specialties are "escargots", "soupe à l'oignon", "boeuf bourguignon", "coq au vin", "frogs' legs", ...Et Voila !

We ordered 2 entrees… one was ok the other was not what we ordered. They took it back and quickly brought the correct dish… seriously under cooked fish. It was not edible. When the bill came they still charged us for the dish we could not eat. Very disappointed

Au Revoir is a classic French bistro that feels like it needs it's owner and chef to take more of an interest in it. Aricelli was our server and she was very nice and capable. We split the French onion soup and it was a classic. The bread was served with a mustard aioli. I had a duck special with cherry sauce and mashed potatoes. My dinner was cold. Aricelli took it back to the kitchen and they did reheat it in the oven, not the microwave. Even heated, it was just okay. I probably should have went with the Duck confit or the Sea bass. My husband had the lamb chops which were cooked to perfection. We split a creme brûlée for dessert which was delicious. The cooking and restaurant just lacked a little spark. However, the prices are reasonable. However, if Au Revoir is going to keep up with the competition for my dining dollars in San Diego, they may need to kick it up a notch and their kitchen needs to figure out a way to have all the dinners be served hot to the table.

The food was okay. The meat was not flavorful, the au gratin potatoes just so-so, not excellent. It's also on a busy corner so I would see this more as a very informal drop-in cafe than a reservations-needed bistro.

We've been to Au Revoir so many times and it continues to surpass our expectations. The ambiance is charming, the service is great, and the food is just plain wonderful. I had the French onion soup and it had a perfect touch of sweet. Sooo good! We shared the house mussels, plump and divine with broth so good we had to order extra bread to sop it up. Duck salad is large and yummy. Hubby had the porc and raved. Three of us shared chocolate mousse and bread pudding for dessert and both were the perfect fini to a great meal. Restaurant was full, but we never felt rushed. Book a reservation and enjoy a touch of France in Hillcrest.

This restaurant is a never-fail experience for high quality food, excellent and attentive service and authentic French bistro cuisine.We have been coming here for years and will continue to do so. They’ve done a recent slight refresh of the menu, with some appealing new dishes, and we can still find our old favorites.

We had mussles and they were divine! Large and perfectly cooked with plenty of yummy sauce. Our server didn't ask us if we wanted to see the dessert menu, so we thought they had none (which would be very un-French) and left without seeing the dessert options, so no opinion on those. Would highly recommend this place - there's parking in front, a nice bonus in Hillcrest!

Not what I expected but it was OK. Food was just ok, nothing that blew us away. Didn’t like that a transient woman changed in front of us right outside the window and then spent a few moments flipping us off. Wasn’t the restaurant’s fault but just came with the locale.
