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.

    Cold night out under the awning was made enjoyable with blankets and heater. Service was friendly, accurate and the right pace. Happy hour wine was a good value. Cassoulet, green salad, and butternut squash soup were generous and delicious. Looking forward to the reheating cassoulet lefties for dinns tonight. Also enjoyed the apple galette and warm olives. The flavors are reliably delish at Left Bank. The meat and beans were cooked to flavorful tenderness, the beans were neither dry nor soupy. The house rose paired very well with the cassoulet. The house red was an acceptable pairing but the second glass of house red tasted very different from the Happy Hour wine and had some off flavors. We'd been craving cassoulet and we weren't disappointed. Been eating at Left Bank since they opened. Thanks for another delicious and pleasant meal.

    Unfortunately we weren’t all that happy with the food. Salad was a strange random disjointed medley with little flavor. Can’t go wrong with onion soup but it was a bit salty. His was a pork chop that was over cooked. All in all- the service was great and I love coming there. Just didn’t quite meet expectations.

    So mediocre. Had we noticed the large televisions in the bar and dining rooms on their website I doubt we would have gone here in the first place. TV was loud and the cheering of certain customers was off putting. But besides the noise , the food wasn't horrible, but the service was. It took at least 15 minutes to get some bread for my mussels broth. 15 minutes. Part of the problem was we did see our waiter occasionally, but he was never round when we needed to get another round of drinks, nor was he around when we needed the above bread, nor was he around to ask us if the food was ok, or if we might have wanted to eat some dessert. We did get his attention to finally get the check, and at that point we just wanted to flee. When the actual waiter did drop the check , he couldn't even look at us. it was as if he was dropping some junk mail on the table. A clown show.
