L'Ardoise has everything I love about a San Francisco restaurant. Quaint, cozy ambience, fantastic service, excellent food, local neighborhood spot. Doesn't get much better. We ordered the butternut squash soup, the goat cheese salad, coq au vin, mushroom and parmesan risotto, and the apple tart dessert. Everything was chefs kiss, 10 out of 10. Can't wait to go back for another date night soon.

A great little French bistro. Easy to find, somewhat easy parking (if you arrive early), and excellent food. The floor is carpeted, which keeps the din to a minimum and it's easy to carry on a conversation. A great spot for a date or a rendezvous. Reservations are a must, and walk-ins can sit at the bar.

We went there the day after Valentine’s Day and good thing we did because I asked the waiter how it was and he said it was BUSY. We had a 5:15pm reservation and arrived just the right time. I was able to find parking a few feet away. It was raining that day but only sprinkles. You have to get a reservation or you may be turned away. It was our first time so the waiter recommended a few dishes and we took his advice. We got the escargot for appetizers. It was good stuffed in a potato. Good parsley sauce. I had the venison and it was tender and delicious. I like the location too because it’s not busy at all outside, the place is surrounded by small shops and houses. It’s very intimate and cozy inside, a very eclectic place and kinda takes you back in time feeling. The waiter was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He answered all my questions. It’s definitely a great dinner date but lunch would be ok too. We would definitely come back and with friends .

Such a nice place, such nice ambience, such great foods. This restaurant gives the feeling that you are in a restaurant in Paris! We really enjoyed our experience there. There are variety of options for starters, main course and desserts. I highly recommend the duck's leg confit,, which is served with a delicious crispy sliced potatoes. The hanger stake wad also a delice, served with a red wine reduction sauce served with fries. We ordered it medium rare, and it was so tender and juicy. For the dessert, we had the special dessert, orange chocolate bread pudding. It was so delicious, and nice decorated. Very nice and friendly staff!

Had a very lovely dinner at L’ardoise Bistro for my mother’s birthday. The food, atmosphere, and service were fantastic (especially the lamb!). So cozy, perfect for winter. Can’t wait to dine here again!
