" L'Ardoise Bistro is truly a slice of France in San Francisco! From the moment we walked in, we were enveloped in a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The duck confit was magnificent—one of the best I've ever tasted! Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations. The only downside was the wait for a table, as it’s quite popular. But it was well worth it for a lovely dining experience. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" L'Ardoise was a delightful experience altogether! My friend and I indulged in the prawn ravioli, which was absolutely divine—a must-try! The atmosphere is cozy, ideal for intimate dining. The server was knowledgeable about the menu and helped select an excellent wine pairing. However, I felt that the dessert option could have been more creative, given how remarkable the rest of the meal was. That said, I would definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at L'Ardoise Bistro was a memorable culinary experience! We felt the authentic French vibe the moment we entered. The starters set the bar high, especially the goat cheese salad, which was refreshing and well-balanced. For the mains, we ordered the coq au vin and the duck confit—which were simply outstanding. Dessert was the peach tart, which was delightful but small in size compared to the mains. Nevertheless, our overall experience was wonderful. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at L'Ardoise was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere felt cozy yet stylish. We opted for a four-course meal and enjoyed every bite. The mushroom risotto was creamy and perfectly seasoned. The duck confit, well, what can I say?! It was so tender and full of flavor! We finished with a delightful flourless chocolate cake that was to die for. Overall, a top-notch experience in the heart of SF! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful surprise on a recent trip to San Francisco! L'Ardoise exceeded my expectations in every way. The setting is intimate, and the staff treated us like family. I cannot recommend their ravioli enough; it was delightful and bursting with flavor. The steak was also a standout—cooked perfectly. We ended on a high note with their signature crème brûlée, which was a heavenly end to an excellent meal. Can’t wait to return! " (*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*)
