"Food selection good. Restaurant Needs updating especially road front room. Open large windows creates a nice atmosphere. Enjoyed dishes but could have been hotter."

"I’m sorry but a was very disappointed Service was good but the place so old and the food no too good We order pâté, French onion soup both was ok , scallopine Marsala and halibut no good. For me was the first and the last visit to this restaurant"

"I am horrified by the awful service we received at this place during our Mother's Day lunch experience. I think they are not even qualified for a single star. My husband took a reservation for Mother's Day at this french restaurant because we had been here before a few years back and also since I love french food, it came as a natural choice for him. We arrived promptly and were received by a frowning elderly lady, who literally yelled at us as she looked up our reservation. We ignored her behavior due to her age. Also, as it was day of celebration, we didn't want to spoil it for us. After being seated, we were received by a lady server who wasn't very happy to see us. When we asked a few questions about the menu, she rolled her eyes. I found it quite strange. Throughout the lunch, there wasn't any kind words expressed by the entire team. I saw the hostess (the elderly lady) visit all the tables around us asking about their food, but never once came to ours. The server also never came to our table after the food was served to ask if we needed anything else or to refill our drinks or water. They promptly handed us the check as our food was getting over, no mention of any desserts or anything. Basically made me feel that this Mother's Day celebration was a worthless waste of time. A beautiful day of celebration with my son and husband was crumpled by these RACIST people. I found these folks extremely unfriendly and almost felt like I was in the old segregated US. I liked their food but my pride will never let me set foot at this restaurant ever in my life again. The owners and the server were rude and impolite and I strongly think that if they continue such behavior, they are not going to survive long in this ever changing cultural Bay Area scene. Horrible experience!!!"

"Been here for dinner and lunch on weeknights and and weekends and had a lovely time. The building is old but well-kept, quiet, and elegant. The food is tasty and service is warm. A great place to enjoy a leisurely meal with friends and loved ones. Will definitely be back."

"Came here for lunch on a weekday after spending some time admiring cherry blossoms at nearby Hakone garden. We were greeted by the friendly gorgeous owner. We ordered three appertizers and two entrees. Food came quick and they are all tasty. The baked seafood supreme is so delicious. We left full and satisfied. The bill was just $65 for all the fresh seafood and tasty lamp chop. Strongly recommend."
