Inspired by the birthplace of the original Parisian brasseries along the Left Bank of the Seine River, Left Bank Brasserie is an authentic Parisian-style brasserie by Chef Roland Passot. Left Bank pays homage to the joie
de vivre that is synonymous with the Left Bank neighborhood in Paris. Guests are invited to step into
French culture, in a vibrant, social atmosphere that captures all the charm of traditional brasseries
and iconic alfresco dining of France. An all-day menu features authentic French cuisine utilizing
seasonal, local and organic ingredients, and consists of iconic lighter fare such as oysters, tartare and
prawns provençal, in addition to heartier classics like coq au vin and beef bourguignon. Inspired by the
Parisian-style Bar Américain, an extensive cocktail menu features classics of a bygone era, along with a
wide range of rotating taps, seasonal drafts and bottled beer, and an expertly-curated wine selection.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Left Bank Santana Row exudes a "nostalgic charm" with its consistent "delicious entrées" like duck confit and "wonderful cocktails." Guests appreciate the "attentive and friendly" service, though some report spotty service. The ambiance, reminiscent of a Parisian café, offers a "great outdoor seating" experience. Perfect for celebrations and memorable evenings.

We had a great evening and dinner out to bid farewell to our children who traveled home for the holidays. The Left Bank is a nostalgic place for us with many celebrations of milestones. We can always count on its consistency in delicious entrées, (we love the duck confit) wonderful cocktails and excellent desserts. Our server was very attentive, friendly yet professional.

First visit at Left Bank of Santana Row. Appetizers and dinner were served quickly. Food was very good and presented well. We were celebrating a birthday. After mentioning our occasion to the hostess, the staff brought out a complimentary cookie with ice cream and a lit candle at the end of our meal. Thank you Left Bank for making our special meal a memorable one!

The food was good as usual however the service was lacking which is uncommon for this restaurant. Since it was New Year’s Day, I can understand why. The beef & pork sliders, burger & French onion soup were enjoyable.
