Le Petit Bistro

"We arrived on time for our reservation and we were told all tables were given to other people and we had to come back at least half an hour later. It's the first time I experience this in the USA. We left and we will never go back to this place. I am French and my friends often ask me to recommend some French restaurants. Well at least I know where they should NOT go"

"Everything about the experience was just okay. Service was slow and they spilled water/wine on our table a couple times while pouring. The food didn't have much flavor to it and several things weren't cooked properly (for example, the carrots were undercooked). The duck dish had the most flavor but many of the other dishes were bland."

"The lamb chops are pretty good. We don't like the duck liver. The roasted duck is a bit too dry."

"Super cute French bistro. We come several times a year. Request sweets breads! They only stock if we have enough people ask. Consistently good. Underrated probably because they are low key and don't do social media. Their audience skews older so they recently went low sodium. Good for bringing parents! And you can always add salt."

"Magnificent! A gem in Mountain View! Sssshhhhh don’t tell anyone! It will be harder to get reservations! I love this place because of Michael the owner chef! The food is fantastic but the place isn’t pretentious. This place doesn’t need to pretend it’s great. It is! Have been there twice so far. Going back tomorrow with our daughter this time to share it with her. We just got back from Paris. And need another French food fix! This place is an awesome Bistro even by Paris standards (IMHO), but there is room between the tables! ❤️"
