Reviews for Left Bank in Menlo Park, CA
We thought the food was tasty! The peppercorn sauce with the chimichurri steak frites was delicious as was my wife’s ravioli... dish. Nice outdoor setting in the courtyard of the mall was great to relax and people watch with a prickly pear margarita. Read more
The food was good. We got the calamari. The charcuterie starter the steak and fries and a lamb I will have to say the entrees... seemed pretty small for the price and the service was very lackluster. It was super slow and at one point our server pouredsparkling water into regular water and when you're getting charged for that, it's kind of a bummer to have to throw that away.Other than the super slow service, the food was good Read more
Wonderful experience! Haven't been here in years. It did not disappoint. Highly recommend the charcuterie.
Great dinner spot in Menlo Park! I had duck breast, super delicious with reasonable price. Way better than some Michelin star... restaurant. Highly recommended. Read more

Stopped by for drinks & appetizers. The bartender was super nice as well as the hosts. Great spot for lunch or dinner or... takeout, hey also have outdoor sitting. Read more
The steak tartare and the french onion soup were super tasty and I can't recommend them enough. The fried chicken with mashed... potatoes was at most average for me. Chicken was perfectly fried and tender inside but lacked some flavor. Same goes for themashed potatoes. The sandwich was very good. Overall I do like the place and would recommend it. Read more
I have to say, a big disappointment from their Santana Row counterpart. The atmosphere seemed lively but that was about all the... had going for them. Everyone looked flustered from the front door to the kitchen door. The servers were fresh off the bus and Ifelt like I should be ordering tacos instead of the fine cuisine we went for. They were out off the beef bourguignon, which iswhy I wanted to return the (chain?) In the first place. I ordered the pork tenderloin with summer green beans. The beans wereflavorful but slightly undercooked. The tenderloin had a delicious glaze but was a little overcooked. Almost like it was pulledat the right temp but was allowed to rest too long and it dried out. Our server hung us out to dry pretty much the whole 2 hourswe were there, only checking our table a couple times. It wasnt very busy and there were only 2 of us. My final complaint maynot seem like much to most in the area, but I only pay with cash and that seemed to be a bother to him as he insisted I pay witha card. I dont know how they do things other places, but a functioning restaurant should be able to provide 25 dollars inchange. Overall I was dissatisfied to the point I dont think I will return. Too many cons to outweigh the pros, even if they dohave their signature dish to offer that drew me in in the first place. Read more
