It's either this or Yard House when I'm craving happy hour, but sometimes you gotta switch it up. The service here was spectacular. They were constantly checking on us without being overbearing, which I always appreciate. The ambiance is nice and definitely has more of a date-night vibe. Also, lots of eye candy among the waiters, so there's that. I can see why this place gets a lot of date-night traffic. They have a good selection of drinks too, but I was mainly here for the food. We ordered the roti, burger, chicken wings, and noodles, and everything was pretty good. The burger was a little messy and maybe had a bit too much sauce, but honestly, I'm not complaining when the burger is still delicious. Everything got demolished--no leftovers, no regrets. Definitely a solid happy hour spot when you want good food, decent vibes, and a little something to look at while you eat.

Absolutely the worst service! My advice: cross the street and go to Pizza Antica instead…read more When we arrived, the restaurant was about 90% empty, yet we walked up to three hostesses and not one of them greeted us. When I asked for a table, one of them grabbed three menus, walked right past us and started heading outside without saying a word. I literally looked at my kids and said, "I guess we're supposed to follow her to our table." Unfortunately, the service didn't get any better. Our waiter had the same dismissive attitude and actually walked away before we had even finished giving our order. And to top it all off, the food was mediocre. I could keep going, but honestly, I think I've said enough. For the price and the experience, there are much better options. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere else.

I've given this place multiple chances over several visits, but unfortunately the service has been…read moreconsistently disappointing. My first experience should have been a warning sign. I walked in and stood waiting to be seated while an employee, who appeared to be the owner or manager, continued talking with her kids instead of acknowledging customers. I don't mind waiting, but a simple "We'll be right with you" would have made all the difference. I decided to give them another chance. On a later visit, I spent a few hours working there and ordered drinks. When a friend joined me, he sat down and was completely ignored. No one came over to greet him or ask if he'd like anything. We eventually had to flag someone down just so he could place an order. After that, our server mentioned that Tuesdays were buy one, get one free on wine. I ordered my second glass, but it never arrived. When I asked another server about it, I was made to feel like I was inconveniencing them. The irony is that I would have happily paid full price--I wasn't the one asking for a deal. They were the ones who brought up the promotion, then acted bothered when I politely asked about the wine that was never delivered. The final straw was our most recent visit. We were seated at a table by the staff, only to be told a few minutes later that we had to move because the tables were supposedly reserved for the party sitting behind us. We moved without making an issue of it, but no one ever ended up using those tables for the entire time we were there. It was frustrating to be relocated after being seated, especially when the explanation didn't match what actually happened. At this point, it's hard to view these experiences as isolated incidents. The common theme has been inattentive service and an attitude that makes customers feel like they're an inconvenience rather than guests. There are too many great wine bars that genuinely appreciate their customers for me to spend any more time or money here.

Grilled Octopus was excellent as always, my favorite dishes here. Lamb Osso Bucco was served with orzo rice, peas, morels. Lamb was tender and well-seasoned. Tamarind Glazed Salmon served with kale and red quinoa. The salmon itself was good, but I don't think the quinoa was a good match with the dish. The flatbread was the most disliked item we had. It was a bit bland and too doughy. We enjoyed the Peyrassol Rosé (France 2025), which was not only nice to see but also nice to drink. Love the smooth texture and taste. Vanilla Crème Brûlée was enjoyable, the shortbread cookie was somewhat bland. Chocolate Date Cake was rich and quite sweet. Even we shared it among 3-4 people, we still couldn't finish it. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience.

Service was lacking professionalism and timeliness Came to celebrate a birthday dinner and we were immediately disappointed by the service team - couldn't find the reservation (made a month in advance) - sat us without menus - when they did bring menus, they only had 2 for a party of 6... Food was overall good but the server oversold everything. The taste and balance was decent but pricing was 100% unjustified. Review of our table's order - excluding the obvious lack of value and weird plating choices: - mezze dips: skip. rip off. - cauliflower: maybe the best dish of the meal - octopus: sauce was unnecessary and portion size was terrible - caesar salad: not good - lamb shank: tender but the sides were trash - branzino: parts tasted not fully cooked. - lamb chops: DRY. Hammered the protein and drenched in oil...? Do not get. - chicken: large portion and maybe the best bang for buck when feeding large parties. it was ok. No wonder they closed shortly after. I get the high rent given Santana Row pricing but do a little better when hiring service staff.

To sum up, service was really cool, welcoming and friendly. Food was okay, the main reason I'd come back definitely because of the service and the ambience.

IMHO My friends and…read moreI came to Left Bank for a celebratory birthday lunch. We chose a comfy booth inside the restaurant after realizing it was just a tad too warm to sit outside. (However, people watching is so much fun when sitting outside!) Cosme was our fabulous server who shared the daily specials with us. I asked him which I should choose, the Ahi Tuna BLT, $26, or the Nicoise Salad, $31. He recommended the BLT! Two friends decided to share the Wester Ross Scottish Salmon, $36, and our other friend ordered her favorite Nicoise salad, $31. My Ahi Tuna BLT was a sight to behold! This sourdough sandwich was crunchy on the outside and multi-layered with sliced ahi tuna, bacon, avocado, tomato, butter lettuce and a horseradish aioli, on the inside, and served with a side of thin and crispy French fries! The portion size was so big that I could only eat half the sandwich! I really like bang-for-my-buck, and I definitely got it with this entree! The fries were perfection, salty and crispy! My friend who always ordered the Nicoise salad when she dines here, totally cleaned her plate. This salad was another showstopper. It was almost too pretty to eat! The two friends who shared the salmon entree were not as impressed. They both thought the salmon was a tad dry when Cosme explained it should be served medium. One friend thought the cauliflower puree base helped to compensate a little for the dryness of the salmon, but the other friend chose to share her displeasure with Cosme, who apologized, then relayed the message to the chef. Shortly after, Cosme offered to have another salmon cooked, which my friends agreed to. Then Left Bank's general manager, Jessica, came over to ask how we were enjoying our meal. Jessica kindly heard their comments regarding the salmon (and the price for a small serving...no bang-for-your-buck with the salmon...) and offered to have another salmon served up for them. (We told her that Cosme had already arranged for that.) She assured she would inspect the next serving before it was presented. It came out looking even more beautiful and enticing then the first plating, and happily the cook and texture was perfect the second time around! I was surprised with a birthday plate of ice cream decorated with raspberries, a chocolate leaf, and yummy crushed wafers, compliments of Jessica. Thank you, Jessica, Cosme, and your staff for your epic customer service. We will definitely return again soon! I also used my InKind app to pay for my meal. I was able to redeem my InKind reward to pay a portion of my lunch!

I previously gave Left Bank 2 stars years ago, and since it had been such a long time, I decided to…read moregive it another chance. Unfortunately, this visit didn't change my opinion. I'm giving it 2 stars because there wasn't much of a wait when we visited on a Sunday during the World Cup, and the drinks were actually pretty decent. Those were easily the highlights of the experience. The service, however, was lacking. Our server rarely checked on us, and it often felt like we had been forgotten. We ordered three appetizers, but only two ever made it to the table. The two that arrived were honestly disappointing and not something I would order again. The third appetizer never came out at all, and by the time we realized it had been forgotten, we were so over the experience that we decided to leave and find somewhere else to eat. It's disappointing because I really wanted to like it this time around. The location is great, the atmosphere is pleasant, and I was hoping my experience would be different after all these years. Sadly, the food and service still didn't live up to expectations. Maybe others have had better luck, but after giving Left Bank another shot years later, I'm still left feeling underwhelmed.
