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.

Thoroughly enjoyable with excellent food and ambiance. The waiter was excellent; great service while not hovering. My birthday announcement in Open Table was ignored and the music, a delightful surprise on a Thursday night, was a bit too loud. Can’t wait to return.

We ate really early on a Sunday so noise level is hard to judge. The cheese fondue was good, we hadn’t had one in a long time. The French onion soup was delicious, nice and cheesy, lots of onions and great broth. The F O burger was the best burger I’ve had in a long time. I asked for a cocktail that was on OpenTable’s Left Bank menu. The restaurant didn’t offer that cocktail but the bartender made it for me anyway. That is service above and beyond.

Second visit, not much changed. Steak frites still good, maybe not quite as good as last time. French onion soup as good as I have had anywhere. Atmosphere is fun and comfortable, not stuffy. It's the kind of place that is an easy "go to" for a nice meal with friends or family.
