Le Parc Bistrobar

Had too much fries & burger, and seafood platters this week in SFO, therefore, we eager to find something different. Since, we feel not quite safe in the downtown area, so we were only searched for some places near the hotel. Le Parc is right on an intersection, so it is convenient and easy to find. A classic french decor with about 10 tables. Variety of alcohol options and not overpriced, however, the menu is relatively simple and short, offering very limited choices. Overall is good 👍🏻

I came to this restaurant because of the good reviews. I started with the duck liver appetizer, which looked nice but was far too rich and heavy to be enjoyable as a starter. For mains, we had the roast salmon and spinach ravioli. While the dishes were beautifully presented, the flavors told a different story—uninspired, and completely forgettable. The portions were small, the taste underwhelming, and overall, not worth the high price tag. To make matters worse, the host was overly attentive in a pretentious way, which made the experience feel uncomfortable rather than welcoming, in my opinion.

Braised Oxtail: The oxtail is beautifully cooked - tender and falling off the bone. The red wine sauce adds a classic touch while delivering a rich, complex depth of flavor. Onion Soup Tart: An interesting and creative take on a traditional dish. I love the intense onion flavor, though the goat cheese slightly overpowers for my preference. Still, it’s a well-balanced and enjoyable bite overall.

Lovely small French restaurant. Love the small menu done incredibly well. Onion tart, steak frites, NA cucumber/lychee spritz were all great.

We stayed in hotel above, joined the wait list, but was seated right away. Service was good. Food was delicious & drinks were as well. In town for the weekend and was a great night's dinner. 🫰🏾
