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.

The food was like something we we get at a cheap buffet, the turkey was cooked well and the gravy was fine, but the rest of the meal was almost not edible.

Our food was cold, the soup tasted good but was cold. The other dishes were not great. The restaurant was freezing. The device was so slow that it took us 2 hours and 15 minutes to get through our meal. Terrible Thanksgiving!

For the first time in my 56 years on earth we decided to eat out on Thanksgiving Day. We made reservations and that worked out well but buck stopped there. Service was poor, made me wonder if the restaurant was staffed by the second or third string team. The food itself was okay but nothing special. Somebody really needs to teach these guys how to make mashed potatoes. It’s a French restaurant after all so they should be no strangers to butter and cream.

We were seated at a terrible table with full view of the cooks. So noisy. The salad had little or no dressing and two pomegranate kernels. Soup fabulous. Dressing was cold and very little gravy on husbands turkey. Portion size of turkey was great! Apple pie would have been better warm. My nonalcoholic “Tropical” drink was not to my liking. So we decided next year to not go upscale in our choice for Thanksgiving as simply not worth the $$$! We are usually quite happy at Left Bank. BTW the service was good.

We ate the thanksgiving dinner. It was ok. Portions were good, but warm. Salad was bitter and poor apple pie which was more like a breakfast pastry. It was just average food for what we paid. The staff and server were very good and attentive.

We enjoyed our Thanksgiving dinner here this year. It was bustling -- I guess a lot of folks didn't want to cook! Everything was excellent. We ordered the prix fixe dinners. Two of us had the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. My vegetarian hubby had the ravioli which he said was delicious. The salad was a great starter -- loved the persimmons. We all loved the butternut squash soup -- there was a certain spice in it that made the soup extra special and delicious. Our turkey dinners were just the right size -- we especially enjoyed the brussels sprouts with lardons. The pie slices were fine -- tasted good, but nothing exceptional. The service was very, very good. Our waiter was attentive and always there for us. All and all a very nice Thanksgiving dinner -- with just a couple ciders, sparkling waters, coffee and including tax and tip it was $400 for three (3) of us. We felt it was worth it.
