   Christmas Eve packed and not enough seating. Even with reservations a month out! Walk ins standing over us eating. Biggest problem space. Food excellent though I’d prefer on menu duck à l'orange for Christmas. Over all - very happy and lovely experience. Merci

   Good food, good service, some dishes are a little expensive for what they are worth. Also they add a 3% fee on top which is annoying given their pricing already on the high end. Just roll these fees in the pricing instead of trying to hide them in junk fees. The practice feels mildly deceptive in my opinion.

   Excellent service with exceptional customer care in taking our orders and handling our table as my family enjoyed their meal one evening during the Thanksgiving holiday. We plan to return sometime soon to this lovely French restaurant.

   We had Thanksgiving dinner here. The salad and soup were great along with the pinot noir. The turkey was very dry and not edible. Apple pie was frozen. They refunded me on the turkey which was kind. The service was wonderful.

   Petite Left Bank is a gem. We have been a couple of times & loved it so… we thought we’d go for their Thanksgiving special. Did not disappoint. Four course, great value, lovely.

   The Turkey was so dried out we couldn’t eat it! The stuffings was gummy and did not taste good. The brussel sprouts were bitter The pumpkin pie was thick and heavy and over spiced. The “apple pie” wasn’t a pie it was a tart that was not good at all. The only thing good was the butternut squash soup. The service was good but they didn’t even ask how our meal was! Many folks we saw didn’t eat much of their food either! This meal was one of the worse we’ve ever had and it ruined Thanksgiving. The $200 cost plus tip was outrageous and left very disappointed. I want my money back!

We're sorry to hear that our service and value didn't meet your expectations this time. We value your feedback and will definitely use it to improve.

   We had a wonderful dinner and a great experience—wait and bartender Sal was fantastic!.The food was amazing (oysters, chicken, haricot vert, mussels), and the service was friendly and attentive. Definitely have the crème brûlée. The restaurant is simply decorated and feels like a true French bistro. We’ll be back!

    Really enjoyed our evening here. Outstanding service. Live music was a plus, especially as it was unobtrusive.
