- Ddanw1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoL”Ardoise was fantastic. My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary there on 6/6. The service was great and the food was fantastic. I had the hanger steak and fries and my wife had the cow au van in a red wine sauce over mashed potatoes. Everything was perfect. The desserts were also fabulous. Will definitely go back. It’s on a tree lined street in the Duboce triangle neighborhood. DanMore infoL'Ardoise$$$$• French• The Castro•4.9
- HHHannaHvipSan Francisco Bay Area •13 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoHad the tasting menu, which was delicious and well-portioned. Also they were able to provide GF options. Fennel soup was amazing, as were halibut crudo, carrots and little gem salad. The ragout was under-salted but tasty. The bavette was very tasty though not quite as good as the starters. Honestly I would not have ordered the Pavlova but it was spectacular. It was expensive but lovely and the service was great. Would not get the decaf coffee again.More infoFrances$$$$• Californian• The Castro•4.8

Bustling bars with strong libations line Castro street, and there are a host of delicious options if you’re in the mood for new-American, Californian, or Italian fare. Nighttime is definitely party time, with flair at the forefront, and weekend brunch often serves as a decadent continuation of those festivities.
