    Haven't ate here in years upon years. Outside of the nice ambiance of dining alfresco, the food is underwhelming. Not the worst, not the best. Our server wasn't exemplary. Probably choose one of the other many options that can accommodate outdoor seating and people watching at the Row over this one.

    Both indoor and outdoor seating are available. Left bank is considered one of the high end restaurants providing really good customer service, delicious meals with fresh ingredients and outstanding location. Would recommend any day.

    Come for: steak frites, good ambiance, good service Know that: santana row parking is free and plentiful! I admit, I came in with tempered expectations after reading all the reviews of this place and seeing the low 3s star rating. However, Left Bank delivered and I was very happy with my experience. We came for father's day when we saw the inKind deal. We were met with great service and a bistro vibe for the occasion. We started off with steak tartare and escargot, I got the steak frites as my entree. Escargot (3/5): maybe I'm too used to a garlic butter flavor but these pesto ones tasted a bit bland. They also came out of the shell which is convenient but I feel like it loses flavor. Would not recommend. Steak Tartare (4/5): I enjoyed this very much. The steak tartare was classic and had a nice balance of flavors helped by capers. Would recommend. Steak frites w/ bordelaise sauce (4.5/5): I'm a sucker for steak frites but that also means I have a good baseline of what's good - and this was good! The skirt steak had a beautiful char and beefy flavor to stand up to the rich bordelaise sauce. Fries were crispy and not too salty - went well with sauce. Would recommend. The service was also great - especially as the manager came by to make sure we got our deal from the inKind app. Overall, Left Bank offers a wonderful casual French bistro option for Santana Row. Come in for the happy hour too!

    Love it! Lavender drink, escargot, trout, duck!!!! We ordered 3 escargot because it was that great! And price was so reasonable. I made a reservation for outdoor but there was no shady area and I didn't want to get sunburn so we chose indoor instead which it didn't disappoint us. Service was alright not as best as we expected but we noticed that our server had to take care of tables outside as well so that was why it was not fast enough but it was our day off so no rush Parking spot was easy to find because it was on a weekday. No charge for parking spot which was awesome. I will totally go back and have some more lavender drink and escargot again
