    Ordered salmon and it arrived seriously undercooked, had to be recooked and this time it was slightly overcooked. Don’t their cooks know how to cook salmon? Server forgot several items and had to be reminded three times in order to bring everything. Server had difficulty figuring out how to split the bill properly. This restaurant was highly recommended by friends - the prices are beyond the quality and we won’t be returning

    Lovely french brasserie atmosphere but the food did not live up. French onion soup was warm but not hot, and the broth was lacking the depth of a really good French onion soups. Steak Frites & roast chicken were ok. Prime rib dip was weird with cold meat. The food was either under seasoned or had the taste of quatre épices a little too heavy handed. It's pricey and has been around a long time so I was expecting solid brasserie food but it was a miss.

    We experienced a new server (Brigitte) who was the best ever. Even though it was her first day serving she was warm, attentive and overall a complete joy. Looking forward to coming back soon and sitting at one of her tables!

    Left Bank is always the place to dine or sip or nibble! Onion Soup at its finest is often my solo choice for lunch...and sometimes dinner. A treat of melted gruyere, "drowned bread and salty onion broth.

    Left Bank has long been a favorite -- on this occasion we had onion soup and steak frittes -- pricey but very good. I was disappointed to see my favorite salad missing from the menu -- Frisee Salad. I heard that there are new owner so I hope this change doesn't signal a decline...
