Reviews for L'Ardoise Bistro in San Francisco, CA
Great small and romantic restaurant serving outstanding French cuisine! We had two salads the Brussels sprouts and the beet.... Both were good but the beet salad knocked it out of the park! The goat cheese with small cubes of beets was an incrediblecombination. We also had the Coq au vin and the rib steak. They were Both outstanding. I’ve recently eaten the rib eye atHarris and Joe’s of Westlake and this ribeye was another level above those! Fairly expensive but worth every penny, tendermelt in your mouth with a wine and bacon sauce it was incredible. Finally my ribeye came with Pommes landaises potatoes but bothof us couldn’t stop eating them, it was a cross between potato chips and a fried scallop potato. Brilliant! Read more
Excellent choice for a celebratory dinner in SF, in addition to being insanely good French cuisine. We had read the escargot was... the best in the city, and that was correct! The sauce was so luxurious and soaked up the baguette nicely. The apple tartin was astellar end to the evening, truly can’t deny anything we ordered. Service was attentive and kind. 5/5 all around!

Intimate atmosphere, attentive staff, and AMAZING food. I had the duck confit and it was perfect. As a true French restaurant... they have great options for after dinner coffee. My only regret was not sitting on the patio! Read more
The food is a 5/5 but I almost froze to death sitting inside at the front of the restaurant. Very cold for being inside,... constant breeze. Ask to sit in the back. I think we would have been better off sitting outside with a heat lamp. We tried theescargot (recommend), the raviole, and the charcuterie, which was a tasty selection of pate. Our mains were the duck confit andArctic char; the confit was perfectly cooked with delightfully crunchy skin. The crème brûlée was delish and the specialstrawberry tart was equally yummy with an amazing almond crust. Would go back on a warm day! Read more
Fantastic duck leg confit, crispy skin, no meaty smell and melts in the mouth. Goat cheese salad and soup of the day were... excellent. Didn’t get to try the wine selection but perfect classy but cozy date night Read more
Service. Stellar. Ambiance. 4. Nice outside with stringed lights. Inside fun but needs some upgrading. Paint. Bathroom. Is sub... par. Food. Good. We enjoyed delightful appetizers. Butternut squash soup was silky and tasty. Trout salad was delicious. Coq auvin fell off the bone and was super tasty. Duck confit which is our favorite French entree was ok. Creme Brûlée wasdelish. Overall. Cute place. Neighborhood vibe. Fabulous service. Good food. Read more
Had a nice dinner at L'Ardoise, the highlight for me was the duck. We also tried the ribeye steak which was good but nothing... special. Finished the meal with a floating island and creme brulee (always a winner). Read more
