Left Bank Santana Row offers a European feel with "delicious food" and "exceptional service." The ambiance is perfect for date night, and the "French Dip" and "French Onion Soup" are highly recommended. Outdoor seating is pleasant, and despite some service hiccups, it's a "great choice for Santana Row."

Unfortunately it was not a great day for Left Bank. Promoted as Bastille Day celebrations, it was decorated with some festivities. But they were clearly short staffed as apps took 40 minutes to arrive and the entrees arrived proper cold another 40 minutes later. We couldn’t even be bothered to tell them as the risk of it taking forever for new food to arrive. The staffing issues were evident by kitchen staff delivering food. The food was actually quite good. But long waits and cold food was not acceptable.

We went for the Bastille Day celebration. Maybe they were understaffed but our otherwise very nice waitress neglected us pretty badly, not checking in, letting one of the dishes of our order be missed. The food was unimpressive for the $178 paid. You’d think they’d have had a special Bastille day menu, they did not. It was nice of the chef to create an impromptu cheese plate for us but really, shouldn’t a cheese board be on any purportedly French menu? The cheeses did not rock my world, very cliche, a chunk of Camembert, a tasteless hard cheese, a blue that resembled a Morbier in appearance only, lacking the complexity and depth of flavor. My adult daughter ordered the strawberry rose frozen drink, they couldn’t be bothered to bring a straw, I mean come on guys, this is Bastille day, you need to perform. And a straw for a slurpee style adult drink is just basic. It reads as if they rely on their location on Santana Row and their reputation for being the go-to Francophile restaurant too heavily and have allowed being a formidable purveyor of French food (and therefore culture) to fall by the wayside. Tsk! The green salad of butter lettuce and rainbow radish was great as were the “French” fries, nice and crispy, but $10 for the small cup. The potato leek soup was ok, lukewarm (maybe it was supposed to be vichyssoise?) and bland. Husband had the lavender cocktail, was excellent and pretty presentation with bits of dried lavender atop. They had really fun live music and everyone, musicians included, was festively outfitted in striped shirts and sporting beret’s, that was fun and the music plus the outdoor seating made for a jovial atmosphere but they need to up their culinary game. We won’t be returning for the ambience alone. Mais non, absolutement non! Insert that French puffy sound, ‘buhf’, French scorn style.

This has been one of our favorite places to go to for French food several times a year. Even though it is an hours away drive from our home. This time we happened to have stayed overnight for another engagement the day prior. We were so excited to go for lunch that we took their very first reservation time slot of 11 AM. We got there early so we walked around until 5 minutes before our reservation. We were actually the first ones seated and that is when the horrible experience started. We were seated by the host with menus and then Around 11:15 someone brought us water and left. It was about another 5 minutes that our drink order was taken, but not our food order. About 11:30 we got our drinks and asked him to take our food order. We asked for bread, which we knew was an extra charge. Mind you there was plenty of staff and the place was not overly crowded, since they just opened at 11 AM. Ours was a simple order of 1/2 order of mussels to share and a salade Niçoise. Literally we waited 40 minutes until we got the mussels to share & bread and another 30 minutes to get our salad. Although many tables around us were getting their much more complicated food orders faster. Remember we were the first people to be seated at the restaurant that day. The food quality was also very disappointing. The mussel broth lack taste, was cold and at least 3 mussel shells never opened. The high priced salad only came with 1/2 an egg. needless to say our overall experience was horrible. Although the manager did come and apologize and comp. some of our drinks. We match would preferred a seamless and wonderful experience. Not sure if we’ll be back again. There seems to be a disconnect between the service, the kitchen and the attention to detail to customers

The restaurant was hot, despite sitting inside. We waited a long time for water, bread, drinks, appetizers. A lonnngggg time. Interestingly, the couple a few tables got much better service. The restaurant was noisier than usual.

I believe the mussels we had last night were not fresh. They smell and taste bad.

It’s was just an average place. A bit pricey but not that bad. Food was just okay. The verdi salad was good. The prawn dish is over rated. The service was average as well. It is a good place to sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine.
Left Bank Santana RowResponded 6 days ago
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the salade verte and the outdoor setting with a glass of wine. That said, we’re sorry to hear the rest of your experience felt just average. We appreciate your input and will share it with our team as we always look for ways to improve.

There was an off and on funky smell where we were seated, we were seated outside next to the El Jardin wall next to the plants. Also, our server was quite busy, he was tending to all the outdoor tables, but he was attentive and helpful, Martin. I was happy with the mussels, my friend had the French Dip, she said was quite large, she took half home.
Left Bank Santana RowResponded on July 2, 2025
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the mussels and that your friend liked the French Dip. We’re also happy to know Martin took good care of you, even on a busy shift. We appreciate you mentioning the odor near the outdoor seating, and we apologize that you experienced that. We’ll definitely look into it to ensure a more pleasant experience for future guests. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

We ate there on Friday evening and sat outside as the weather was great. We were promptly seated. When they delivered the main course they only delivered my husband’s. They messed up with my order. So they eventually came and took my husband’s entree back to keep it warm. Once we finally got our entrees I had the roasted chicken on a bed of mash potatoes. It was ok but not spectacular like it used to be. Quality of food and presentation has declined.
