   Food took ages to be served. It was mediocre. Outdoor dining has no heaters, so we were freezing. It's Italian food, not French. So sad - we loved the old Bistro Central Parc, went a dozen+ times, but it recently got new ownership, and we will not be coming back.

   Food was great ! The service was also very attentive - there was a delay due to a mixup in our order and they were very apologetic - provided us a complimentary bruschetta and glasses of Prosecco- then brought out a really good salmon dish for me and gnocchi for my spouse. The salted caramel gelato was awesome - tasted like I was in Italy! Will definitely frequent this place.

   Typical American Italian food. We sat outside and heaters didn’t work. Service was fine. Music was terrible. They had Big Brother on TV.

   Disappointed that it is now an Italian restaurant and menu despite their website advertising a French cuisine. Not impressed…

   Our party all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I had the gorgonzola gnocchi, and it was very good. My partner loved his salmon, and the others had various pasta dishes. Two people took home leftovers, because why leave good food on the table? We were a group of seven, and the service was terrific. It was quite crowded, which was great to see; even ran into a couple of neighbors. Everyone in the restaurant was having a great time. This was my third visit to the restaurant, and so far, it's all been great. Looking forward to many more meals at the Bistro!

   The food and service were excellent. However, the smell of a cleaning product was so strong throughout the restaurant from the moment you opened the door. It was off-putting to say the least and we almost didn't stay to dine. They need to fix this problem or we won't go back.

    Great French food. The tartare was excellent not like CA cuisine in chunks so the ingredients don't blend well. It was typically French which we loved. Lots of options so if you like French food there is almost nothing you can't get. It is expensive but worth eating there.

    Wonderful restaurant! Great atmosphere and delicious food. The sweetbreads were amazing, as well as the Chicken Cordon Bleu, the strawberry dessert was so yummy and light. Everything was great. Would most definitely recommend and return to visit.

    My husband and I were looking for a nice french bistro closer to home, and discovered this great neighborhood gem. Great food, and I wish I had discovered this cozy restaurant sooner to avoid the chaotic downtown traffic, which is now a common occurrence 7 days a week.

    Lovely casual French bistro in NOPA. Parking was not a problem at 7 on Friday night. The food was excellent as was the wine. The service was friendly and professional. The place was about 50 percent full at 7 but was full by the time we left at 8:30. Will be back for sure.

    Sadly this was always one of our consistent favorite restaurants; however, after a chef and owner change the food just wasn't as good. It was our first disappointing meal after well over 10 meals here. We hope they can recover and return to be the awesome restaurant that it was.

    When visiting San Francisco we have looked forward to dinner at Bistro Central Parc. In the past we have recommended this establishment for its tasty food and reasonable prices (for a French restaurant). This past time my wife ordered the Bouillabaisse and I ordered the Risotto, lobster sauce, scallops. Neither dish was up to there past performance and the prices were higher than what is listed on the Open Table menu. The salmon in my wife dish tasted awful and old and the portion very small. I must say the wait staff was very friendly as has been in the past. So, take you chance, maybe this was just a bad night for the cook. We may return here, but I think we will venture to another location in the interim.

    I wish I could be more upbeat about this restaurant. It is in a great location and within a 10 minute drive to the de Young Museum. The decor is lovely. The waiter seated us right away, and then ignored us for 20 minutes. There were only 3 tables with guests, and he was 5 feet from us the entire time. It took forever to get our drinks, and then he forgot some of the beverages. We ordered baked brie and another appetizer - they arrived cold and we had to ask for more bread (it arrived burned)! Then we ordered eggs benedict - they arrived cold with greasy potaotes. The ham was cold, and the English Muffin was so hard we all had to request steak knives to cut it!!! We asked for coffee and were never offered refills. He was also short-pouring my white wine. Serious? The entire time the waiter was not more than 5 feet from us and he kept ignoring us. The portions are pitiful and the price tag was way too high - no value here whatsoever. We were so looking forward to this place, but all four of us were disappointed. We won't be coming back.

    We really enjoyed our dinner! The steak fritte was outstanding. Who doesn't love those crispy frittes? Crunchy and hot make them the best I have had for a long time. The steak was cooked to order and topped with an herb butter that made for a fine repast. Salad and green beans fresh from the farm. Thanks for a great meal....bon jour. June

    I had the "shrimp toast" which had an incredible sauce that made me want to lick the plate! I then had the filet mignon with the pate de foie gras. I found the wine reduction to be a little too sweet, but it had a wonderful flavor. The filet was cooked exactly the way I asked. I didn't have dessert, but the people that were eating dessert, looked mighty happy!!!

    From the time you enter to the time you leave the folks here really know how to treat their customers. Combine that with excellent food, and prompt service, you have the makings for a really great experience. Yes of course as with any place it can't be perfect, however the only gripe I may have is when it's packed and hustling the table setting can be small or tight for those of the larger stature.

    Food was great! I had the Filet in a Port Reduction Sauce, my wife had the Rack of Lamb. Wine was very good. Dessert was to die for. The only thing I didn't like was the bread, they should find something closer to real french bread. A bit pricey but worth it.
