Inspired by the birthplace of the original Parisian brasseries along the Left Bank of the Seine River, Left Bank Brasserie is an authentic Parisian-style brasserie by Chef Roland Passot. Left Bank pays homage to the joie

    Always a wonderful dining experience! Sophia, the hostess, is as gracious as she is beautiful! My grandson loves the escargot, and the warm crusty French bread. I ordered the steak tartare and it is fabulous! It is so nice to have this amazing French Bistro just down the street from my grandson’s school. It makes it so easy to pop in for lunch on Wednesday’s half day school schedule! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    We made reservations to celebrate my wife's 54th birthday and decided to sit at the bar. Resa, the bartender, was welcoming and we met other "regulars" who were friendly, engaging and even treated us to a celebratory round of cocktails. Overall, a great experience and we will definitely be coming back!

    We love this place! Think French Bistro with California influences. The service is friendly and professional. Small wine list, just like a French Bistro, but they also have a full bar so, plenty of choices. The non-alcoholic choices are enticing, as well.

    Love sitting outside and have been a fan since the beginning. Food tonight was sub par at best. Oysters were just not good. The steak was smothered in sauce. I expected a filet of some but instead was served little pieces piled on top of each other. Dessert was a miss too. The kitchen definitely needs attention. It’s a great spot. I hope they get back on track.

    The Left Bank is a neighborhood and county gem! Although there are always more than one tempting items to choose from along with daily specials, I do love when they have duck breast on the menu. I appreciate their wine list but also having the option of a somewhat reasonable corkage fee.

    Very modest prices for such excellent food. We were seated around 7:00PM. The place was jumping. The service was spot on. We will definitely go back.
