" If you're looking to dive into authentic French cuisine, Bistro St Germain is the place to go. I ordered the coq au vin, and it was fantastic—rich in flavor and cooked just right. My companion chose the beef bourguignon, and he was equally impressed. The ambiance evoked a traditional bistro feel, complete with eclectic decor and soothing background music. The only downside was the wait for our food; we felt the service could’ve been a bit quicker. Overall, a lovely experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot say enough good things about Bistro St Germain! I went with a couple of friends, and we shared a beautiful selection of appetizers that were top-notch. The wine selection is incredible, and I paired it with their salmon dish. It was fantastic! The only drawback was that the portions, although generous, could have fed two of us. I look forward to returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had an opportunity to dine here, and it was an overall pleasant experience. The diversity of the menu caught my eye right away, and we decided to try a bit of everything. The service was exceptional, but the food could use a bit more seasoning. I still appreciate the thought that went into preparing the dishes—definitely a place I would visit again with a more focused menu. Recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, my meal experience was solid at Bistro St Germain. I loved the attention to detail in the décor, which truly captured the bistro vibe. I had the lamb pops, which were tender, but I've had better. The service was prompt, and the staff was attentive, making sure our drinks were refilled when needed. While I enjoyed the overall experience and will come back, I think I will try something different the next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful evening! The charm of Bistro St Germain adds to the whole dining experience. We ordered a variety of small plates to share, and each was more delicious than the last! The flavors were authentically French, and I was particularly impressed with their desserts. The only disappointment came when I felt the seating was a bit tight, which made it hard to relax fully. However, our service was top-notch, and we will definitely return for more culinary delights. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love Bistro St Germain! It's such a charming little place with authentic dishes that transport you straight to France. I was particularly taken by their quiche, which had the perfect flaky crust. The service was attentive though could have been a bit faster. Overall, this is a fantastic spot for a cozy dinner or a lively brunch with friends. Definitely on my list as a go-to when in Seal Beach! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bistro St Germain is like stepping into a cozy French kitchen. The staff is incredibly friendly, enhancing the experience. We had a lovely evening sharing plates of duck confit and beef bourguignon. The flavors were on spot, reminding us of our trip to France last year! The only issue was the noise level, which was a bit high during peak hours. Nevertheless, the authenticity of the food made it worth shouting over. We leave satisfied and definitely plan to return!
