"We visited this place for a brunch with friends. When we arrived around 11:30, it was pretty empty, but it got busy later on. We enjoyed the food – everything was great; my favorite was onion soup and beef bourguignon. Our waiter was wonderful and fun."
"Iconic San Francisco establishment. Scott our sever is the best of the best. Romantic ambiance. Best beef bourguignon. Delicious escargot. French onion soup beyond compare."
"We made a last minute reservation and had a perfect lunch. I started with a glass of champagne and my 19 year old and I shared the escargots, beet napoleon, and the Niçoise salad. All were perfect and delicious. I paired the salad with a glass of Sancerre. We finished with the seasonal buche de Noel which was light and delicious. Le Central is our go to French restaurant when we are near Union Square."
"Really liked the onion soup - full of cheese on top and a rich taste - salty but sweet. Crème brûlée is also a highlight, very crispy on the top and not too sweet. The main was okay. The restaurant itself is a little old, their sofa has cracks on the surface making sitting there a little uncomfortable. The server was also not very available - we sat for ~20mins before the server came to our table to get our order, and they had to separate drink and food order due to restaurant being too busy despite we were ready to order both. Then he got our bill wrong and charged 1 extra item.."
"It was so good to be back to France! The flavors, the taste, the atmosphere, the way their dishes were prepared was just a perfect souvenir from France. My wife and I enjoyed the moment. The cassoulet was amazing. The real taste of this so famous traditional dish. I highly recommend the place. What to say about our host: Olivier A French nice and funny gentleman. I’ll go back there anytime to be able to visit all the menu. Merci et bon appétit à tous!"
