French culture, in a vibrant, social atmosphere that captures all the charm of traditional brasseries

    This restaurant has really gone downhill in recent years. My girlfriend ordered a pork belly slider at happy hour and received a bacon slider. We had to ask for aioli three times before we finally got it. The wine tasted very stale. My mussels for happy hour had two of them that were closed so basically a quarter of the mussels that I had were not available for me to eat. And finally, when my girlfriend tried to tell the young lady at the front desk our concerns she was pretty much ignored

    I’ve been going to the Left Bank Larkspur for 30 years and my meal yesterday was better than ever. My friend had the saffron Bouillabaisse and it was outstanding. Salad Nicoise was delicious.

    Food used to be solid here, but more often meh now than before, and service spottier than ever. The fondue is still a safe bet for starters. Watch out for the crab salad -- definitely canned crab, very salty and fishy!
