    First time at this restaurant and will be back. Very good and attentive service from Didem C. Dinner (Branzino) was good in terms of food quantity, quality, and presentation. Prices are Bay Area ridiculous, but not abnormal. Menu has lots of appealing choices. The entrees are more interesting than the appetizers and desserts which are more Italian/ Mediterranean focused (though the place does describe itself as cuisine provencale). Outdoor seating a plus, though perhaps some music/flowers/plants to separate the place from the noodle soup next door would be nice.

    The food and the service were exceptional (except when the old guy (manager or owner) swiped the chili right off our table without asking if we were done with it) but it was SUPER noisy in there. It was so loud we had trouble having a conversation.

    La Fontaine has been one of our favorite places for a group dinner for years. My wife always likes to start with the warm goat cheese and honey appetizer for the table. Service is always prompt yet friendly. As is often the case there were 6 of us with others joining at dessert. Outside on Castro avenue: Street noise is pretty good even with occasional passing trains a block or two away. Our table was probably more a source of noise, than bothered by it. Specials are always great. Wine choice excellent.

    Nice Italian spot with cozy seating and fairly attentive service. Waiter was engaging after the meal with a little napkin folding entertainment. My homemade pasta with chicken and creamy sauce was good, and dinner mates enjoyed theirs as well. I do give them a little mark down on their cocktail (Old Fashioned) though. It was a Saturday night at 6.30 and we were seated immediately as the restaurant was not very full. Their marketing/internet description says French and Italian, but I did not find many overtly French dishes. I would consider going again.
