    Bistro Central Parc is a hidden gem in NOPA. We made a res and a got a nice table. It seems to get busy, so I would make a reservation if possible. The space feels cozy, I like the lighting, and neighborhood vibe. They have two amazing dinner deals: Early Bird 4:30-5:30pm $25 (salad, starred entree on the menu, and gelato) and Ribeye Special: $45 (salad, 12oz ribeye, and gelato) both 7 days a week!! I shared apps and dishes with my friend so I have to come back for the specials! We got a bottle of red wine, crab cakes, the seafood pasta with mussels. Wow the food was great, the crab cakes were my highlight. It was so relaxing, such a great dinner spot!

    They have a 3-course meal for $25, which sounds like a steal for dinner. It only includes the starred main items on the menu and costs as much as or more than during the special. Service: Excellent, really attentive Ambiance: It's pretty busy during the early-bird special (4:30-5:30). Came in around 5:15, and there was only seating at the bar or on the patio. Inside looks nice and intimate. Escargo $13 (4/5): Baked with pesto butter. The snail itself tasted fresh, and the bread slices were fluffy inside and nicely toasted outside. Butter was rich and delicious. Caesar salad (4/5): Pretty standard Caesar salad. Read that the dressing is homemade. Black pepper fettuccine (5/5): Shrimp, salmon, sun-dried tomato, in a garlic cream sauce. You can definitely taste the pepper in the sauce, and delicious. Shrimp and salmon were fresh. If you prefer a light-tasting pasta, this is the one for you. Truffle ravioli (5/5): Ravioli stuffed with mushroom & ricotta cheese, served with olives, Calabrian peppers, garlic cream sauce with truffle essence. Thoroughly enjoyed this, quality ingredients and pasta. This is a rich dish. Chocolate lava cake $6 (5/5): Vanilla gelato was served on top, and the lava cake was moist. Chocolate sauce was oozing out of the middle. The dessert menu is all half off when you don't do the gelato-included meal. Would definitely come back again, especially trying their 3-course steak and frites $45 special.

    Lovely restaurant with dark wood and leather seat interiors. Our servers and wait staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. I had some escargot to start off with. They're already taken out of the shell but I kind of enjoy doing it myself when I eat them. I got the seafood bouillabaisse for my entree, and it was well stocked with shrimp, mussels, and salmon along with some bread for dipping. Went with a friend and she is obsessed with their sticky toffee pudding for dessert. We also tried the crème brûlée and it was made perfectly! Seems like an earlier crowd who eats here, at least on a Thursday night. We were the only two people left inside the restaurant by 7:45 PM with another table sitting outside on the sidewalk under heat lamps. Would definitely like to come back for a cute date night.

    Came here for a birthday dinner. Food was great overall and service was amazing. They also kindly gave us free cheesecake for the birthday celebration! Truffle fries: A- Bouillabaisse: B Sticky toffee pudding: A Cheesecake: B+ Standout for me was the sticky toffee pudding. Also tried some of their short rib and that is what I would order for myself next time.

    penne and pomegranate martini
    Serena P.

    came for their early bird dinner special ($25 for 3 courses). service was excellent, very friendly and accommodating. I requested the penne without chicken and they suggested they could add asparagus to it. it was a nice touch adding more veggies into the pasta and it ended up tasting delicious. i also ordered the caesar salad and it was very well dressed and a nice size portion. for dessert i had the blackberry sorbet and i enjoyed it as well! i ordered the pomegranate martini and it was tart and a little sweet. ambiance was cozy and the noise level was fairly quiet (although there were only a few tables filled on a wednesday at 4:30). would definitely come back again for great service and delicious food!

    My second time eating at the restaurant. They offer a $25/person 3-course Early Bird Special from 4:30 PM-5:30 PM every day (excluding special days). The menu includes a choice of salad, select entrée, and gelato. It was my friend's first time dining there, and she's vegetarian. We both ordered the Mista Salad with baby mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, sliced strawberries, gorgonzola cheese, candied nuts, and balsamic vinaigrette. For the entrée, I had the Grilled Salmon with red quinoa tabbouleh, diced cucumber, orange segments, and green goddess sauce. My friend ordered the Truffle Ravioli stuffed with mushroom and ricotta cheese, served with olives, Calabrian peppers, garlic cream sauce, and truffle essence. For dessert, I had the Double Chocolate Gelato, and my friend had the Sea Salt Caramel Gelato. I liked the salmon with the quinoa, and the salmon portion was a good size. The $25 Early Bird 3-course special is definitely worth the value. I would definitely come back again.

    Salmon

    This is a great neighborhood restaurant. I found it charming and waitstaff very nice Three of us picked the $25 3-course deal and we also ordered the crab cakes. Which were delicious.... They came with two spears of asparagus on a bed of roasted red pepper puree. I had the salmon which I enjoyed The seafood fettuccine and short rib pasta also were good. The portions are generous. We loved the gelato and one of us got the sticky toffee pudding, with a little discount to upgrade, which we all loved

    Dark Chocolate Gelato
    Tracy B.

    So i wanted to try this place as they had a prefix meal for $25. Its Monday thru Friday from 4:30-5:30 only. You get a salad,entrée, and Gelato. That's a great deal anywhere in the city. I had their Caesar Salad and my husband got their Mista Salad. Both were yummy. For dinner i penne with chicken which was delicious and just the right portion. My husband had grilled salmon. He really enjoyed it. Then for dessert we had dark chocolate Gelato and sea salt caramel Gelato. Both were incredible. This place was yummy and the service was great as well. Its in a quiet area too. I look forward to coming back again.

    Tony, Talip, and all the staff...woo hoo! Midday lunch with 19 of us, these guys were fantastic!!! Celebrating graduation with our CCSF Nursing students. The place was accommodating (make ressy), full house, food great selection and delish! First time here and wont be the last! Thank you crew at Bistro Central Parc and congratulations students!

    Really nice spot, good food and great happy hour All tasty food, good salad and pastas. Well cooked and generous portion on seafood in the pasta. Great gelato texture but didn't love the sea salt caramel personally Nice vibe and decor, surprisingly good neighborhood joint

    Aperol Spritz
    Allison W.

    The front door is very heavy to open, but they are open! There's both indoor and outdoor seating (the latter which we used because we brought a dog), and some of the outdoor seating is in a shelter with walls which was good for fighting against the wind. The tables are far enough apart that you can easily have conversation. They immediately gave our dog a water bowl, which we appreciated. All the staff were so friendly and kind! We definitely felt taken care of despite being outside. We got the Burrata and the Bistro Salad to share, and I got the Chicken Marsala as my entree. I also got an Aperol Spritz. For dessert, we got the Sticky Toffee Bread Pudding, and, as a surprise, they gave me a piece of cheesecake with "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate! So delightful and caring. Burrata: 4/5, very generous portion of burrata and delightful combination with pistachios! There was a lot of jam and not a lot of bread, but it was all good. Bistro Salad: 3/5, thankful they accommodated my request to have walnuts on the side! Nothing super exceptional but not bad. Aperol Spritz: 3/5, very standard drink though maybe a bit diluted to err on the side of caution concerning the bitter flavor of the Aperol. Chicken Marsala: 5/5, tender chicken with a generous amount of mushrooms! The mashed potatoes were great in texture and buttery in flavor, and the asparagus was nicely cooked. Sticky Toffee Bread Pudding: 4/5, a great warm flavor and the vanilla ice cream was a good creamy balance. The tart berries also helped cut through the sweetness. Birthday Cheesecake: 5/5, very kind of them to give! It was also creamy and delicious, and loved the berries. Overall, wonderful service and a great time. I definitely want to try their Early Bird special, it looks great!

    Crab cakes 10/10
    Melissa L.

    I normally don't like or crave crab cakes but the crab cakes appetizer here is absolutely delicious! Sometimes I don't even care for the entrees because all I wanted was the crab cakes haha! The truffle ravioli pasta is amazing and I've come back for this dish twice in a month. My boyfriend's dad is a picky cook who criticizes food heavily and we're always on the hunt to find a place he'll enjoy and have even he liked the food here! The service is subpar unfortunately. We have arrived with reservations and made to wait over half an hour. Once we arrived with reservations and we were asked if we wanted to wait outside??? or at the bar and they seemed really inconvenienced that we would choose to wait at the bar on a cold winter SF evening. On another occasion, they forgot to give us menus for over 25 minutes after seating us then came to ask us for our orders despite seeing we had no menus. We did try getting any waiters attention to ask for menus during that time span and could not get anyone's attention. The lightning is beautifully designed, romantically dim and it glitters across the ceiling. Perfect to bring a date here. However don't let the service sway you from coming here to enjoy the tasty food! I still would come here again because the food is that good.

Before the meal started, we were served a small cup of corn soup. It was so intensely corny in the best way possible. It's sweet, creamy, and comforting. Loved it. The bluefin tuna was incredibly fresh, and the portion was generous. I also really enjoyed the zucchini, which added different textures to this dish and made it more interesting. The mackerel was delicious. The skin had this rich, gelatinous texture that I personally loved, and the flavors were super satisfying. The only dish that was a little disappointing was the pork ballotine. It looked incredibly tender and juicy, but it ended up being a bit drier than I expected. Dessert was definitely the highlight of the meal. I had never tried chamomile ice cream before, and it was such a pleasant surprise. It paired beautifully with the caramelized white chocolate, which added a rich, milky sweetness, and I loved the crunchy texture throughout the dish. The warm pistachio paste brought everything together perfectly. So, so good!

    C'est magnifique!…read more Authentic French cuisine with the cozy vibe of a bistro in France. Food is simply amazing, and some of the best I've tried ever. Have been here twice now and have left extremely satisfied. Over the past visits I've tried: Goat Cheese Salad: 4/5 very fresh and tasty, the walnut vinaigrette pairs so well with the balsamic. On the bitter side but I liked it Tiger Prawn Ravioli - 5/5, super unique and melt in your mouth. The sauce has an umami flavor and the dish is one of the best bites I've tried Steak (Filet) - 5/5, one of the best steaks I've tried. The seasoning is spot on and is very rich and flavorful Crispy Chick Breast - 10/5, my personal favorite dish. The chicken is seasoned to perfection, and the sauce lives up to the French rule that a perfect sauce is just as, if not more, important to the success of the dish. Love the mashed potatoes as well, my plate was wiped clean Desserts: 5/5 Apple Tart and chocolate cake - très bien The restaurant is tiny but it's part of the ambiance and reminiscent of a classic French bistro. Service is great, very friendly and attentive. Parking can be challenging as it's in a neighborhood and spots are usually limited, so plan in advance. Highly recommended.

That was a little disappointing, but everything we ordered ended up being good. We had the lamb chops, hanger steak with fries, pork tenderloin special, and prawn ravioli. The fries were super crispy, which I loved. The pork tenderloin was the special that night and ended up being my favorite dish. The prawn ravioli was also really good and surprisingly generous in size. It could easily work as an entrée rather than just an appetizer. The only thing I'd skip is the bread and butter. They charge for it, and it was very mid and definitely not worth paying extra for. Service was fine. The interior is cozy and charming, with tables packed pretty close together, which actually gives it that real Parisian café feel. Overall, a really enjoyable dinner. I'd come back, especially if the duck confit makes its return!

Today was a bit "off" on two levels, both service and food quality. Because the place is quite small and intimate on the inside, we decided to sit at the counter, which we really enjoyed. Our server Lucas was nice but once he took our order we never saw him again until the bill was presented. All other engagement (no conversation) was done by others delivering plates, removing plates and right down to taking our dessert order. We were never approached about our meal as in "how are you doing". Which is so rare for this place. Had anyone asked I would have immediately requested a new salad. I couldn't even get the attention of anyone as they seemed to all be huddled in the kitchen. I had the Caesar - $14, which presented well but was really awful. It was soaking wet with a dressing that had absolutely NO CAESAR flavor. The cheese on top, also flavorless and the 2 croutons were rock hard. I have never had such a bad Caesar. The Artichoke soup was o.k. My friend did really enjoy his Moules Thai which had the best sauce I have ever tasted and the killer fries of course. We each had a Crepe for dessert which is always super delicious. The whole meal was not worth $102 for lunch. My friend tipped over generously, which I would not have done for service that was non existent. I will return, as much of there food is outstanding, I will just steer clear of a few of these fails.

The table next to us was also having service issues and ended up receiving the wrong order. The food itself was bland and not something I would come back for. The one positive part of the experience was the gentleman bussing the tables, who had dark hair and a beard. He was extremely polite, attentive, and kind. Unfortunately, our waitress, who had red hair, seemed completely disengaged. She never checked on us after taking our order, did not bring us our check, and even her demeanor while taking the order felt dismissive. When we ordered, her response was basically "okayyyyy," which was uncomfortable and unprofessional. Overall, this was not at all what I expected based on the reviews. Between the extremely slow service, multiple tables being neglected, incorrect orders around us, and underwhelming food, I would not return.

    Wife and I came here for our Anniversary. I have eaten good food, but the experience was amazing…read more Started with a gift from the chef, then because I got 4 courses and my wife got 3. Normally places will ask what order to bring stuff out and they just curated the experience and brought out an extra plate so we could share. Dinner ended with another happy anniversary gift as well as breakfast to go. Food amazing, and service outstanding!

    Been here for 10 years and cannot believe I haven't written a review. First time dining at the bar…read moreand I think we like it better than the main dining room. The bartenders are very friendly and there's more of an interaction atmosphere. Also, I didn't realize we could share a five course meal, which is amazing and very delicious. It's actually still too much food for the two of us and I did say Share and I'm so happy they allow for it because I don't like over eating dinner anymore. We had the Lobster risotto five stars so delicious Crab salad four stars very filling Sear scallops with mussels four stars Branzini. Five stars. Love the crispy skin with the moist fish. Pork tenderloin already cut. They actually were a little bit delayed on this maybe because they forgot, but they made up for it by pouring us some red wine while we waited the wine was delicious. And also don't forget free dessert, assortment of little bites of heaven. Service was six stars. The hostess actually showed me to the bathroom but also checked if it was occupied and then went upstairs to check if that one was occupied and told me I can go to that one. It was like royalty service. I'd loved it. I think we're gonna start dining at the bar again as there's so much flexibility with the menu this is one of our favorite restaurants in the city consistent food and service highly recommend

The host and server were very pleasant and helpful explaining ingredients and making sure to capture food allergies. We had the grilled chicken sandwich, the sauce was to die for and tied the perfectly prepared chicken together with everything. We also had the quiche Lorraine - simply amazing! The flavors were delicious and the crust was amazingly crisp and light. If you visit their website, you will see the numerous awards and mentions in publications like Forbes - they most definitely deserve each one!

    A FRENCH BISTRO GEM…read more I had always wanted to try Cote Ouest Bistro, and it did not disappoint. FROM BAKER STREET TO COTE OUEST The restaurant was formerly Baker Street Bistro and is now owned by former BSB employees. They've successfully carved out their own identity while preserving the artistry and craftsmanship of classic French cuisine. HIGH QUALITY, FAIR PRICES The food is excellent, and the prices are reasonable compared with many other restaurants in San Francisco. That combination helps Cote Ouest stand out from the crowd. A TOUCH OF PARIS The French staff and charming interior create an atmosphere that feels like a neighborhood bistro in Paris. The restaurant's familiar design has remained largely unchanged, which adds to its warmth and character. INDOOR AND OUTDOOR DINING The dining room can get loud when it's bustling, but there is plenty of outdoor seating, including a parklet added during the pandemic. Sitting outside can be a little more comfortable if you want to have an easy conversation. WHAT WE ORDERED We ordered the crab cake roll, which was the special of the day, along with the mussels--always a great choice. Everything was delicious. GOOD TO KNOW Walk-ins are welcome, but reservations through OpenTable are recommended, especially during busy dining hours. Cote Ouest Bistro is definitely a neighborhood favorite--and now one of mine.

    Divis Taqueria opened in mid July, and I went today for lunch. They are in the Crêperie La…read moreSarrasine space at 607 Divis. The French cuisine is still featured, but there is a new sign and awning for TD. As well as the delicious new food! I have lived on the 500 block for 16 years and this is an amazing add to the neighborhood. We've never had our own authentic taqueria this close. And I can tell you that the tortillas here are LEGIT. On to the experience. The staff is awesome, you will be well attended here. You can order at the register, but there is full wait service. The interior retains the French look, and has added some Mexican touches. There is a parklet outside. In the dining room, there are large open windows with bar seating. A true indoor / outdoor spot. On to the food. I got the Al Pastor tacos, which are traditional street style, though they were nice enough to add cheese to the tortillas. Red and green salsa on the side, and I'm told they're looking into a spicy sauce as well. Open on Friday and Saturday until Midnight. Check www.divistaqueria.com for their weekly hours and menu. Directly across the street from both Emporium and Independent on Divis. And a delicious lunch if you're in NOPA. Place will blow up and couldn't happen to better people. Get ready for this business!!

    Amazing french food here!! *chefs kiss*…read more Found this gem when we were heading to the Independent for a concert but was early and decided to grab a bite as my boyfriend suggested this spot after seeing it on Yelp close by. The server sat us down and gave us menus right away with ice waters. The interior was nice and cozy with French music and decor. We shared both the Boeuf Bourguignon and the Champagnarde Galette and both were wonderful. The presentation on both were elegant and appetizing. The flavors and textured worked well in both dishes and the portions were satisfying. My boyfriend also ordered a glass of wine he enjoyed. I would love to come back and try their different dishes as I had a hard time decided since everything sounded so delicious! Great dinner spot, felt like a mini getaway.

Service was…read moreoutstanding, we felt bad for the waiter who had to go up and down the flight of stairs countless times throughout the night. He must have some really strong legs and calves after. We started with 2 glasses of their Domaine des Grabottes "Les Grabottines" -- Côteaux du Lyonnais 2020. Sweet, delicious wine, followed by amazing charcuterie board with chicken liver mousse. The smoked duck, salami, pickled onions, and baguette croutons were all fantastic. We both ordered the September $65 prix fixe menu. The beef cheeks with polenta, pearl onions, and carrots were tender and flavorful. For dessert, the profiteroles and strawberry meringue dessert were both delicious. Everything was beautifully prepared, and we'll definitely be back! Bon appétit!

This was a decadent, sweet and savory corn soup topped with popcorn that offered a nice textural contrast. We highly recommended this to the table next to us. - Spring Risotto: A flavor that I can still recall weeks after our meal here. This featured crisp cherry tomatoes and herbs on a bed of creamy risotto, which contrasted well with the sunflower seed topping. - Steak: Deliciously seared and seasoned. We ordered this medium rare, and it did end up appearing slightly rarer than we anticipated, but we loved it anyway and demolished the whole thing. Staff was friendly and warm -- even though we were seated outside on the patio, it was easy to feel attended to. Would easily come back to this restaurant!
