Left Bank Menlo Park

The salmon and artichoke dish was not as described by the server and was disappointing, but the short rib dish was delicious.

Fun summer night sitting outside almost felt like France.

Left Bank is a go-to spot for me due to its consistent quality food and varied menu offerings. However, during my most recent visit, I was disappointed by the service. We had to request share plates for our appetizers, napkins, and water refills, and the staff was not particularly friendly. Additionally, when we brought our own bottle of wine, it was clear that the server did not know how to properly serve it. Despite these shortcomings, the food was still enjoyable.

I ate at this restaurant tonight. It took nearly an hour to receive my food. The prices have increased significantly and they charged $5 for bread and butter. I ordered an appetizer, an entree, and a side. With the tip, the total for dinner was $84, without any drinks. I used to enjoy dining here but now I will have to reconsider before returning.

After waiting for one hour without receiving our food, we repeatedly asked the server to check on our order. We were informed that a large party was being served, but eventually the server admitted forgetting to submit our order to the kitchen. After speaking with the hostess, who then contacted the manager, we received many apologies and our meal was comped. Although the restaurant took the high road in compensating for their mistake, we are unsure if we would recommend it.
