    Came by for dinner the other night and it was a decent experience. Le Parc Bistrobar is located in the Financial District inside a boutique hotel. Made a reservation and our table was ready upon arrival. Parking is available via the SFMTA St. Mary's garage a few blocks away. Dining is available indoors exclusively. The dining room seems high end. The chef came from Baume in Palo Alto which had 2 Michelin stars at one point... Pricing is elevated, even for SF standards. The restaurant may be catering towards tourists... Having been to numerous bistros in Paris, I had similar expectations! Unlike in Paris, the bread service isn't complimentary. The table next to me opted for bread and it looked tasty. There is a pre-order 4 course meal for $108. Started off with the onion tart which was tasty. Loved the onion and goat cheese over the pastry tart! Moved on to the steak frites and it was ok. Requested my steak medium rare and it came out towards medium. The char on the steak was great and it was nicely salted. Prime sirloin from the US doesn't quite match French beef in Paris! The shoe string fries were decent. I think the fries in Paris are even better! The signature oxtail dish was ok. There were two gigantic oxtails served with mashed potatos, carrots, and tasty red wind reduction. Most of the oxtails were tender although some pieces were starting to dry out. The creme brulee moderne was the highlight of the meal with the presentation along with the consistency that was closer to an ice cream than creme brulee! The chocolate cake with pistacchio ice cream was also decent. Service throughout the evening was cordial and attentive. When going over specials, I was slightly confused by the orange duck. I was imagining orange chicken from Panda Express with duck instead of chicken. Perhaps a suggestion would be to explain the duck as a seared duck breast. ~$135/head after tax, 6% SF mandates and 20% service charge already built into the bill.

    It was absolutely amazing. The staff was so nice and the food was other worldly. I can see why it has two Michelin stars. It's also incredibly beautiful and intimate.

    Steak frites. Delicious!

    We were in town for a few days and staying at the Omni. Walking around, my husband has a nose for good restaurants and he spotted Le Parc Bistrobar suggesting we try it. Delicious food and impeccable service. What a gem! The restaurant was very quaint and lovely. I would recommend this place.

    Amazing hidden gem tucked within the Galleria park hotel. The dinner menu is small but you can't go wrong with anything you order. We devoured their octopus salad daily special. Spinach ravioli was nothing like I've tasted before and was delicious. They did great with the steak as well. Extensive drink menu with lots to pair with your entree. Great service! Ambiance feels like fine dining, was also pretty quiet at 8 PM on a Thursday evening.

    Came here for a team dinner after work and had the whole place to ourselves. The restaurant itself is quite large with plenty of indoor seating both on the first floor and second. They were accommodating for our group of ~18. They had great mocktail options for me which I appreciated. We had multiple courses including a yummy salad and butternut or pumpkin bisque. The mains were also good but nothing to really write home about it. I probably wouldn't go back, but it was a great spot for a work dinner where we didn't feel rushed, there was plenty of room, and it was somewhat nearby.

    One of my favorite chefs from the former Baumé in Palo Alto. If you visit, the oxtail is a must, the fish is incredible, and the lychee cocktail is easily my favorite cocktail of the year. Finish with dessert--you'll thank me later.

    Welcoming staff that made us feel like we were coming home. Food was exceptional with really friendly and helpful suggestions. We were here for a 69th birthday and was truly remarkable and gave us an unforgettable memory. Outstanding!

    What's that?" said Ron, pointing at a large dish of some sort of shellfish stew that stood beside a large steak-and-kidney pudding. "Bouillabaisse," said Hermione. "Bless you," said Ron. "It's French," said Hermione -- J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire A beautiful room, tasty French food, solid wine list; one cannot go wrong at Le Parc Bistrobar Met up with a longtime friend, business colleague and fellow yelper a few months back and we enjoyed this restaurant's happy hour very much. It was Salesforce Week so a lot of restaurants were full. Plus the financial district has lost more than a few sit down places. So after walking a few blocks, we found Le Parc and they had many tables free, some with lovely views. We shared several starter plates, particularly enjoyed the fries and soup, plus a lovely Côtes du Rhône by the glass. Service was friendly and professional, plus again the room is gorgeous. Located inside the Galleria Park Hotel but with its own entrance, restrooms are located away from restaurant inside the hotel. Recommended!

    Part of the salmon tartare app, caramelized onions and cheese very good
    Marisa M.

    Le Parc bistro is attached to a hotel. It really gives off old school classy vibes with dark wood walls and white cloth tables. The service is 5 stars excellent. The bartender even leaves the bar and talks to the customers making sure they like what they are drinking. The waitresses really try to connect with you and are super friendly. It's expensive but not overly expensive. The atmosphere does scream date night. And possibly fancy work outing. I expect this place to be busier than it is, the food quality and service is amazing. I think this is a newer place in the past year. My sole was excellent. It was so rich in flavor and juicy. Huge portion! My friend liked his salmon but I felt it was a little fishy. The salmon tartare app was very good as well and a decent sized portion. The desserts weren't overly sweet and they were a shareable size. Though my dessert said pistachio ice cream but it mostly tasted like raspberry and passion fruit. The drinks were excellent and very strong. It's $19 for a cocktail and they have an extensive cocktail menu. My favorite was studio 54 which is pistachio liquor and Midori. It's a pricey restaurant but it's not over priced based on the quality of food, service and atmosphere.

    A beautiful, tasty French restaurant! Definitely order the chicken here - it's one of the most worth it items you can order on the menu. It honestly surprised me how good chicken could taste. The cocktails were also super good. Loved the espresso martini and French 75. Overall a great place to dine at for an occasion, or just a nicer day out.

    Tartare de Saumon: Salmon crudo, lemon, taro ($21)
    Cherylynn N.

    4.5 STARS You know the rich rich that you vicariously live through because you aren't ballin' or have a sugar daddy or OF money? I remember my friend posting their tab for Baumé (Palo Alto)....$1,400+ for two (before shrinkflation). And, half of it was for wine because wine pairing was apparently required and they can't even drink wine. So, basically they dropped $700 pp for the food BEFORE tip. Oh you know, just a casual weekday dinner for them. WILD. Well, the Owner-Chef Bruno Chamel of now defuct Baumé has opened an affordable French bistro in the city with most entrees in the $30s. And, wines by the glass at $13 max. Now we're talking...a STEAL from a chef who in the past was awarded two Michelin stars eight years in a row! Soft opening is Le Parc Bistrobar in the Galleria Park Hotel (formerly Gaspar Brasserie). Currently open for dinner only with lunch service to come. Starting July 15th, they'll have happy hour from 3 pm - 5 pm. Rezzies available on Toast but walk-ins are accepted (large space). M E N U French Bistro Cuisine using fresh, seasonal ingredients. Full bar. Corkage fee: $45. 6% SF mandate. F O O D * Tartare de Saumon: Salmon crudo, lemon, taro ($21) // 4 Stars: https://tinyurl.com/jjf93j93 Salmon poke nachos with cucumbers, a dollop of citrusy foam, and crunchy taro chips (a little too thick tho). The salmon was hella fresh and buttery... such an unexpected app coming from a French bistro. * Pot Pie D'Escargot: Escargots, garlic, parsley, brick ($19) // 3 stars: https://tinyurl.com/r5uh48ek Tender snails simmered in a brothy sauce and topped with [brick] cracker. It was fine but too salty and I would have preferred the puff pastry crown (noted on online menu). * Queues de Boeuf au Vin Rouge: Braised oxtail, red wine, carrots, pomme puree ($35) // 5 stars: https://tinyurl.com/bddnzz4w A rustic dish, the braised oxtails were meltingly tender in a flavorful red-wine sauce with soft carrots and crisp bokchoy. Served over deliciously rich, creamy potato puree. Simple, hearty, and satisfying. * Bavette de Bouef Grillé: 8 oz. Grilled Flap Steak w/ béarnaise sauce ($38) // 5 Stars: https://tinyurl.com/mr2fawdw --Requested medium rare Perfectly red and tender with a good sear from the grill. As flap steak can be chewy, I was pleasantly surprised at how it nearly melted in our mouths. The silky smooth béarnaise with a kiss of tang made it even more bomb. They ran out of the obligatory side of frites tho. =( * Oeufs à la Neige: Floating island, anglaise sauce, caramel ($12) // 4 Stars: https://tinyurl.com/43wyhdjy A classic French dessert - fluffy clouds of poached meringue floating over a vanilla-y sauce. Enjoyed the almonds for texture. You're basically eating air so it's almost calorie free! J/k! S E R V I C E Refined, very kind, and approachable staff. It was nice to see owner-chef's wife greeting guests at the hostess stand. Prompt food service for 5 pm dinner rezzies (in/out in an hour). A M B I A N C E Sexy date night vibes with vintage fixtures and dark burgundy leather banquettes (similar to their predecessor). Two-level resto with two bars that can accommodate over 100 people. P A R K I N G Hotel valet: $27 for 90 minutes + $6 for every 30 minutes thereafter. Garage next door is $7 every 30 minutes. Overall, I know a lot of people have been avoiding going to Union Square (*raises hand*)...but if you never had a chance to taste Chef Bruno's food, now you can without breaking your wallet!

    Lumière cocktail

    Great casual French bistro vibe. Cocktail list is loaded with many classics, including some obscure but tasty options. Had the escargot app and the oxtail entree; both were tasty and satisfying. Service was friendly and attentive.

    Pot pie d'escargots
    Eric L.

    A shockingly-good "casual" follow-up from the chef at Baume (when it had two Michelin stars) and Chez TJ (also, two stars). This is French cooking at its finest, with snails that are soft (not the weird mushroom-like ones you get at most places), where the salmon tartare comes with a citrus foam, and where the fish is seared so perfectly (and coated in butter) that you'll remember it a day later - not just because you're lactose intolerant, but because it was so good. So why the four stars? Well... there's limited options, and dietary restrictions are NOT accommodated - that makes for a nightmare for a lot of diners. The restaurant is still picking up, and I suspect that maybe, just maybe, this could elevate itself and allow for more options. It's clear why he had two stars (and why he was so upset when he lost them). It really is a great meal.

She was very attentive. When we got there at 12:30pm we all decided to sit inside since it was a little cold on the patio.

After finally asking a fifth person, we were told, "Oh, I think it's broken." Why wasn't that communicated to us the first time we asked instead of having us sit outside in the cold with little blankets waiting? The service overall was extremely slow. Everything took so long that we eventually had to go inside just to pay our tab. There was also an uncomfortable inconsistency with how guests were treated. I noticed several people were vaping outside, yet only one person was singled out by a host and very rudely told, "DON'T DO THAT." The issue wasn't that they were asked to stop. It was the tone and the fact that multiple other people were doing the exact same thing without being addressed. I've been to several rooftop bars here in San Francisco and in other cities, and unfortunately this was by far one of the worst service experiences I've had. I realize the last time I was here was pre COVID, when this rooftop was Everdene at the Virgin Hotel. I was here for a company event back then, and the experience from then to now is truly night and day. Beautiful views, but the service really took away from the entire experience.
