Left Bank French Brasseries

Been coming here many times for dinner, lots of options to choose from, and we probably had it all. First time come here for lunch, not as many as the dinner menu, that's why we took almost all the appetizers, and they are GREAT. Birthday guy got his dessert with a candle to blow. Never disappointed!

We had an incredible 4 course meal here and they did an awesome job with each meal. Only thing was service was a bit off, most of us didn't get water refills (we were a large party). Try the chocolate cake!

I’ve been coming to this place for a few years now. I love their appetizers and ambiance. I generally seat outside, it reminds me of restaurants in Paris. Waitresses are great. The hostess area could be improved. Most of the time I have no complaints, but sometimes you’ll get someone who is not engaged, is short with you (brief responses) and is not accommodating. I brought my group of girlfriends here for brunch, and the girl and the guy who were at the hostess area shut us down stating they couldn’t seat us and that the restaurant was booked for brunch.... This seemed strange. We didn’t feel like dealing with it, so we went across the street. May be this restaurant is not good for large parties.

Good steak and eggs. I like their bar drinks also such as bloody mary's and mimosas. When I ordered eggs Benedict the year before, the eggs were cold and so was my daughter's. Generally good food and service.

Mixed feelings about the Left Bank. We were a party of 4. We started with the shrimp appetizer which everyone loved. The chicken liver pate was also really, really good. We were hoping for better with the French Onion Soup. The broth was heavy and a bit salty and the cheese was, according to my friend, a thick blob. I thought it was good but since we're on a hunt for the best probably won't order it again. One in our party ordered the Friday special for her main dish, LOUP DE MER/WHOLE BRANZINO, and couldn't stop raving about it. Another ordered the BOEUF BOURGUIGNON. He enjoyed it a lot but said it wasn't anything to write home about. The big disappointment was my dish, the FILET DE PORC. The port reduction and broccoli rabe were excellent, but the pork itself was really, really tough and dry, so tough it was hard to cut, let alone chew. Surely the chef who cut it knew. They really should not have served it. For dessert we ordered the 3 different ones and each one was excellent. I had the molten chocolate cake and it was to die for. I saw someone gave it a bad review in Yelp. She said it tasted like pudding. NO WAY! Unless they changed the recipe since then. The place is loud but it didn't really bother me. I loved the atmosphere and the location, and our waiter was really, really great. If the weather was better, eating out on the patio would be really awesome. I save 5 stars for best of the best, and this is not that. If it weren't for the pork I'd give it 4 though. Because the pork was inexcusably tough, only 3 stars from me. Because most everything was pretty good to great and we had a really fun time, we plan to give it another try.
