" L'Ardoise Bistro is a little gem in the heart of San Francisco! The moment you walk in, you feel the French vibe. We ordered the coq au vin and the rack of lamb, both of which blew us away—rich flavors and beautifully plated. The service was fantastic; our waiter was very attentive and made great wine pairings with our meals. The only downside was the noise level was a bit high at times. Still, I'd highly recommend this place for anyone looking for an authentic French bistro experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Heavenly! The food at L'Ardoise is exactly what I crave. The flavors are so authentic that it takes me back to my travels in France. I had the sea bass, which was perfectly cooked, and my partner enjoyed the beef patty, which he said was one of the best he's had. We loved the atmosphere too, it was busy yet cozy and warmly lit. The service was attentive and friendly, making us feel special during our visit. A true delight and highly recommended for anyone seeking excellent French dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved L'Ardoise! It felt like stepping into a Parisian café. Everyone was friendly, and the service was prompt. I had the lamb and my friend had the duck—both were phenomenal. The flavors were rich, and everything was beautifully presented. I especially loved the floating island dessert; it was airy and light. Although the sounds from the kitchen were a bit distracting, it didn’t ruin the experience. Highly recommend for those craving authentic French cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" A fantastic find on my visit to San Francisco! L'Ardoise has a lovely atmosphere and the staff were incredibly welcoming. We tried the prawn ravioli, which was simply divine, and the duck was some of the tenderest I’ve ever had. The dessert variety could have been better, but what we had was satisfactory. Overall, a superb dinner and a place I shall return to during my next trip to the city. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic dining experience! We were warmly welcomed and quickly seated despite arriving without a reservation. The atmosphere is quaint, making it perfect for date nights. I highly recommend the duck confit and the chocolate cake, both are must-try dishes. Everything was delicious, although the dessert portions felt a bit small. Even so, it was a wonderful evening overall. I'm looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" L'Ardoise provided a fantastic night out. The ambiance was perfect for couples. My partner enjoyed the hanger steak, while I had the salmon—it was cooked to perfection! The service staff were friendly and checked in at just the right pace. We felt special throughout the meal, although the dessert selection was limited. We both indulged in the crème brûlée, and it was fabulous as expected. Definitely a hidden gem we’ll be sure to revisit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful lunch here recently. The menu had a good variety of classic French dishes, and I went for the beef bourguignon. It was stewed to perfection with vibrant flavors. The service staff were welcoming and knowledgeable; I appreciated their recommendations. The outdoor seating was lovely too, with a nice view of the bustling street. The only downside was dessert, which didn’t impress as much; the tart was average. Still, I would come back! " (*Curated Review*)
