Eater: Head to this French bistro, which takes on the classics both familiar (duck confit, steak frites, a burger) and less so (escargot, sweetbreads, beef tongue). There are great cocktails too. Read more.
Joe Alicata: Start with the escargot and finish with the ice cream, you will not be disappointed by Corey Lee's next move.
Tanner Christensen: Try frog legs and escargot for dinner, or French toast and unlimited mimosas for brunch.

The Bold Italic: Herb Caen would lunch here every Friday at 1:11 PM, with Wilkes Bashford, Willie Brown, Harry de Wildt, and Matthew Kelly. According to Wilkes - get the escargot; they do it right here. Read more.
Vanessa Cordero: Oldest French Bistro in San Francisco. Try the Pomme Frites, Escargot, Steak Tartare, and Cassoulet. All great food with the classic SF feel.
Jesse Packer: Wondered in here entirely by chance. First impression is the staff doesn't like you but it's all a facade. Nice people serving good food. Had the lunch pre-fix and the escargot. Both were delicious!

Gsus S.S.: Amazing place. Top quality of cuisine during whole tasting menu, combined with spectacular pairing. Smoked trout, escargots, oysters and desserts created with an impressive merge of flavors. Top.
Yaron Zakai-Or: Incredible tasting menu! The wine Paris is the way to go. This is one of the best restaurants in SF
Jonathan Eatherly: Go sooner rather than later. Dominique Crenn herself is overseeing the opening and serving patrons! If you go with the a la carte menu, you can't miss the Abalone.

Nana: What a fun little lovely find! $10 wine flight tasting! Escargot was delicious, pate was great too. Since the kitchen was closing we didn't know what to order so rushed and ordered pizza which was ok
BordeauxWines: We like this place for a romantic rendez-vous in the cozy booths. Besides, who can resist a glass of Bordeaux?

Brad T: Great (relatively) new business lunch place in FiDi/Union Sq area.
Tommy Gaeta: Come in for the meticulously made cocktails, stay for the confused mish-mash of pre-prohibition/nautical/industrial/maritime/patriotic/steam punk decor
