Super delicious salmon! Outdoor seating is nice - but we got the Magnolia side on the day it seemed ALL the trucks were delivering? We had to stop and repeat a number of times. It's not always like that. I tried 2 times to get the artisan bread basket and it never came. Ah well, we had a great time and I would def go back!
Looked as if help was sparse on Monday night, but the gentlemen covered the main room admirably. I hadn't had the sausage before--loved it, but, Of Course-a specialty of the House! We are Corte Madera Residents who come frequently to the restaurant and we are proud of the job you've done during the Pandemic. Thank You!
We ate outside in their wooded pergola. It was a wonderful experience with great service. We will be back
Many restaurants have unfortunately gone down since covid - not their fault, but probably need to cut costs. Food here was still excellent :)
Wonderful bistro food in a beautiful little town in Marin!
Best French dining in the Bay Area. Lovely outdoor and indoor seating. On weekends they serve a brunch and regular menu. The food is five star! Best quiche with spinach and goat cheese served with a green salad with truffle oil. My husband had a wonderful ham and cheese omelette. Mussels are fresh and perfectly presented with fries. Had the escargot served with a fresh warm mini baguette. Our server was fantastic and had the most wonderful personality.
Really nice meal. Sat outside in the caboose.
Our go-to in Larkspur. Great for outdoor lunch on a sunny day.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely inside and out. Service was great! The server was very friendly and attentive to our needs. The food is outstanding! Best French food in Marin. I highly recommend this restaurant!
We had a wonderful dinner. One had trout and two of us had the lamb stew which was rich and savory and enough to take home for the following day. We are fortunate to have Left Bank in Larkspur.
Love love everything about the Left Bank! The people are the very best and the food is always constantly great!
We had a fantastic lunch at left bank. We had the cheese fondue and the beef. Then we finished it with profiteroles! The food was out of this world, the service (cara was waitress) was the best in Marin. We will definitely die in there again
I had a very simple dinner of the Butter Lettuce Salad, French Fries and Chardonnay which were all very good but the highlight of our evening was our waitress who was the perfect combination of good-humored and professional.
I do wish you didn't have to walk through the restaurant to get to the outside patio.
This is a great place fun in normal times / safe and caring in pandemic times
Easter dinner, I guess I’m not ready to dine indoors yet. A busy evening with servers rushing past our table frequently. Not very relaxing. Food was delicious, as always.
Easter brunch on the patio was lovely!
I took my friend out for her first restaurant outing since the first lockdown. We had a great time! Sat in the parklet, which was very comfortable. Table spacing was ample and the heater was right by our table. We ordered steak frites -- everything was tasty and cooked perfectly. Profiteroles capped the evening beautifully. Strongly recommend.
Birthday Dinner for my wife. Our go to special occasion and everyday spot.
Great food and service
Sat outdoors, very nice, had a great time.
Meh. Overpriced and indifferent management about customer experience.
Kara is a TERRIFIC server!!!!!!!!!!
Wait staff got the order wrong
Great food, great service ... the staff is friendly and efficient ... and in our case went beyond the call of duty!
Wonderful meal in their new outdoor seating. So quiet and a beautiful evening and very well spaced from other customers. Delicious food as always and great service. Never a disappointment.
Pretty good for pandemic dining, we were seated in their outdoor pagoda-like structure, and once the shutters were open, airflow made us feel acceptably safe. Staff was very helpful in this regard. Mussels and salads were first-rate.
I felt at home! Been a patron for over thirty years. Thank you Left Bank!!
We sat in the LB Parklet and were very comfortable. Was a nice brunch. Service superb and they did a great job with the egg dishes. Great to see so many people out and about!
Amazing menu and interesting options, blood orange spritzer was a hit accompanied by the live Sunday bunch music.
It would have been great to turn the heaters on prior to sundown. We froze. Food and service were mediocre. I had a better time there Bastille Day 2 years ago.
Absolutely love this restaurant! The food and service is outstanding! We sat outside and were served by Kara who is an amazing waitress.
It was amazing. The food was delicious. It was our first date and the live music was the perfect compliment to the atmosphere.
We are glad that the restaurant is open and we will be back
Charcuterie
Was very disappointing my Husband loves this dish and has it often but today it was not!
Just a perfect evening. Great menu and exceptional service. Whether you’re sitting inside or out, I highly recommend.
Your coupon couldn't be used because they would not accept me showing the 25 dollar discount even though it specifically said to just show or print the discount. We are therefore going to cancel our Epic reservation and forfeit using our discounts.
Not happy with how this transpired at all!
An established Marin standby - always great food, and casual atmosphere, great service. One of our favorite dining places in Marin.
Waiter was mediocre - everything else fine. Menu limited. Table next to us was close and guests were speaking too loudly. Lady taking dishes and filling water was excellent
They have made the Covid rules seem incidental to a delicious experience. The mussels are always special, and the fries better than McDonalds
Left Bank is one of our go-to Marin restaurants. Love the environment and the food is always delicious. We had the lamb shank, mussels, and steak frites--wonderful! Service was slow this time, but friendly.
