Best French Restaurants in Design District

I’ve never had a bad dining experience here. Top to bottom perfection. This cuisine defies categorization, for any purists expecting otherwise. The bao, ravioli, Wagyu, and sea bass are ordered every time we go. Family style is a must. Have hopped around on the salad menu and it’s all been sumptuous. Crab and grapefruit is a personal favorite. Dessert may be a less of a strong suit, but by the time we get through everything else, it hardly matters. The casual non-sceney vibe is the real icing on the cake.

Delicious and fun with great service - a fun place for time together since it’s so interactive.

Such a fun experience with my new grand baby and family. Food and service was perfect. I had not been there for dinner in a long time and have forgotten how delicious the food is there. Short ribs and salmon were amazing. My family members had the chicken and said it was the best they had ever had. Thanks mercat for the perfect ending to our Christmas holiday.

I bring my mom here as it is one of her favorite places of all time that her and my dad used to come to many years ago and we keep up the tradition. Everyone from the management to all of the service staff is always so welcoming, attentive, helpful, and the chef’s prepared such a wonderful meal every time we go.  I highly recommend, but I don’t wanna tell too many people because it’s hard to get a seat sometimes! We love it.

Cute spot with amazing sandwiches and coffee. It's in the middle of downtown so just a little bit shady with the homeless around.
