    Service was impeccable. Coffee, perfect. Potatoes, outstanding. The Eggs Benedict which should've been the star of the show, meh... Extraordinarily undercooked poached eggs, and a decidedly underwhelming slice of thin deli ham. Come on, folks. You can do better.....

    Good but nothing special. Tourist destination. But a convenient brunch spot for visiting SF Chinatown.

    I love this French bistro feel but the prices have gotten so high and the food wasn’t that great. I ordered the chicken salad with dressing on the side and it came drenched in dressing and our waitress, who was lovely, had gone on break so too much time had passed to ask for a replacement. A side of fries is $12?! I paid less for truffle fries at a Beverly Hills hotel. They did not rush us which was nice as we hadn’t seen each other for a while and we sat there for almost 2 hours.

    If we're in the city, this is our breakfast spot. We had family visiting from Texas join us for breakfast and they were so impressed. It's right across from china town and walking distance from a few big name hotels. I highly recommend eating here.
