" There is something so uniquely charming about Bistro St Germain. Our family decided to try this restaurant, and we had an enjoyable evening. The kids loved the chocolate cream puff dessert, while we indulged in the coq au vin. The quaintness of the restaurant and the friendly staff made it even better. Pricing was reasonable, and we felt satisfied at the end without breaking the bank. We'll be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Bistro St Germain was one full of culinary delights! The lobster bisque was warm and comforting, while I couldn't get enough of the ratatouille. The atmosphere offered a wonderful rustic vibe; it felt like a genuine bistro experience. Unfortunately, we did experience a hiccup with our order being misplaced for dessert, but the staff handled it gracefully. So, we'll be returning for another visit no doubt! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Bistro St Germain while wandering around Seal Beach, and I'm so glad I did! The French market attached has some adorable items, while the dining area offers a cozy ambiance. I went for the the lamb chop appetizer—it was tender but I do wish the portion was a bit bigger. Our waiter was engaging, and the overall dining experience was pleasant. I'll definitely be returning to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Bistro St Germain for my birthday dinner, and I couldn't be happier! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and we were greeted with a smile as soon as we walked through the door. The escargot was to die for—definitely a must-try! I had the steak frites for my main course, and it was cooked to perfection. The portions were generous, and the prices reasonable for the quality of food. After dinner, we explored the little French market attached to the restaurant, where I found some delightful gifts to take home. Overall, I highly recommend this bistro! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bistro St Germain continues to impress! This is my third visit, and each time the food gets better. I particularly recommend the frog legs—they're a true French delicacy done right. The atmosphere is playful yet elegant, and the service has always been exceptional. Prices are reasonable, especially considering the high-quality ingredients they use. Keep up the great work!

" 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!
