    Bon Delire does a great job of bringing a little slice of France to the Embarcadero. The decor and ambiance is decidedly very French, in a good way! The food is excellent and reasonably priced by San Francisco standards, the service is friendly and welcoming and the vibe is lively and fun! Highly recommend the deviled eggs, the escargot and the roast chicken but honestly, we loved everything we ordered! We can't wait to return!

    This is such a cozy and romantic venue. Set in the tranquil and idyllic Village of Tiburon. The petit left bank is everything you’d want from a little French bistro. The menu is really good. I’ve gone there at least 10 times and the service and food have always been excellent. Looking forward to our next visit.

    An excellent meal with friendly, attentive service to celebrate Christmas Eve. We especially enjoyed the duck confit, salmon, and Buche de Noel. It was pleasantly quieter than normal as the dining room wasn’t full.
