    New favorite spot in San Francisco, you step away and feel like you are eating in someone's living room in France.

    This was our second visit, and once again, the food was exceptional! We enjoyed the rare Hanger steak and the black cod risotto, finishing with a heavenly apple tarte tatin. Absolutely delicious! 👌🏼

    We were given a terrible table right by the door despite there being other options available. We were lied to when we asked about them. The duck was dry. Risotto was tasty. The service was way too fast. Food came out within 5 minutes and we were in and out in 30. Not a great French restaurant experience.

    another very enjoyable dinner at L'Ardoise. The French bistro fare was excellent as usual. I personally love their cassoulet, but their hanger steak and halibut were also very enjoyable. Service has been consistently very good - attentive but not suffocating. The interior is cozy and pleasant.
