It was our first visit (for a birthday celebration) and we loved the food, the menu structure and atmosphere! We will definitely return. The service was fine but we had an issue we wanted to address, so called the owner the following day. He politely listened, apologized and promised to address it for us. We are grateful to dine at a family-owned restaurant where the customers are appreciated.

The usual excellent dining experience. A bubble of a classic French bistro plopped into a Whole Foods/REI mall. Who'd a thunk! Love this place. Our first dinner when we arrived in PD, and our last before leaving-with a couple in the middle. Try the build your own salad. xoxo

Fabulous ambiance! We ate on the patio which was less noisy than inside. Food was good with plenty of gluten free choices.

A reliably good choice, French Rotisserie Cafe did not disappoint. And the profiteroles for dessert were a great cap to a delicious meal.

We each had appetizers and an entry. All tasted good and the portions were generous. We had not eaten here in a while and appreciated to redecoration which was done last summer. We had inside seating, it's a bit noisy. For a quieter experience outside seating is available. On a fairly busy night, the service was excellent with the courses well timed. They appeared to be well staffed. The owner stopped by our table to inquire about our experience. Overall, we felt the value we recieved was excellent. Another plus, there is ample nearby parking. We will definitely return in the near future.

We usually stop several times yearly at what has been a little gem of a restaurant. Last night's stop was in no way up to what we have come to expect. Hopefully, it was one of those nights, but to wait almost a half hour for a waiter to acknowledge one's existence is unpardonable. Then we learned that the wine we ordered was unavailable. On an on. Past experience will probably find us making another try.
