Outdoor dining
Jeff W.

The most perfect weather for dining outside by the beach. Paris in the D4. Amazing food and charming hosting by Alex the manager Chilled rose'paired with the chicken liver mousse was wonderful. The star of the meal was definitely the mussels with frites. So much flavor! JYW highly recommends

Bouillabaisse
Jade C.

This place is excellent and far exceeded my expectations for a French restaurant in outer sunset area! It is located near the L, so easy enough to travel to and from for those not located in the area. Lots of street parking too. This place was packed for a cold Saturday night with a large party accommodated in the "upper" dining room (just a few steps). So that's good to know for the future. Their service is excellent. The server walked us through their specials and helped to pair wine with our meals. That night they had a beef cheek pasta dish and Bouillabaisse which was paired with one of the BEST red wines I've ever had. It was a Syrah. So delicious. A++ for a date night restaurant.

This place is so cozy and quirky, I loved the details of the restaurant and the hospitality was great. We ordered a good variety of food and they had specials when we came in and they were so good. My favorite was our seafood medley with puff pastry, the sauce and seafood soaked in well and the steak and fries with the green peppercorn sauce was savory and balanced. Service in the restaurant really gave a family vibe and they were so knowledgeable about food and wine. Everyone we interacted with genuinely had such a positive energy and looked like they loved being there and it was refreshing to see. Definitely an underrated spot!

Chicken mousse liver
Anisha K.

I loved this spot! It's nestled in the outer sunset area just a 5 min walk from ocean beach down the street. The staff were lovely and so helpful, I asked them for recommendations and the chicken liver mousse was perfect! When I went, I only had an Aperol spritz and the mousse but would definitely come again to try more of their menu along with their wines. It's the perfect French bistro vibes in a coastal town. Would highly recommend!

Onion Soup

Have walked by this restaurant and been meaning to try it - last night shared a very enjoyable dinner with a friend. Very much enjoyed the food, which was flavorful, generously sized portions. Had onion soup (heavenly), Le Burger (loved it) with fries,, Chocolate Pot de Creme - all fantastic! My friend had roasted chicken, ice cream sandwich- felt the same. The staff are welcoming and clearly have a great deal of pride in their gem of a restaurant. Highly recommend!

We stopped into Galinette one evening for a glass of wine, some beer, and a bit of dessert. What a great spot! Very European experience; staff was busy and the place was bustling when we arrived. Service was slow until it wasn't and the staff was able to get us into an outside table after 10 - 15 minutes. The only dish we got, pot de creme, was delightful. Would happily come back! The meals coming out of the kitchen looked absolutely fantastic.

Great little place...loved the outdoor seating  with the pup

When I try new places I tend to order something like Onion Soup to compare and get a sense of the menu This Onion Soup here was one-of-the-best I have ever had. We decided to go with the roasted chicken and it did not disapoint. So good, we ordered as take out! We were warmly greeted and enjoyed the help in choosing a wine and then dessert. We sat outside and enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the intersection. When we visit next, we will come back and enjoy!

Escargot
Grace L.

A cute, casual neighborhood French bistro! I came with two friends to chit chat and catch up over dinner, and it was surprisingly packed on a weekday. Our waiter was very friendly, and I liked that he never rushed us. We shared the escargot with puff pastry and cream of mushroom, which almost disguised the snails. For my entree, I had the P.E.I Mussels Marinière. Such a big bowl was only $21, and the broth was delicious with the white wine and garlic. I'd come back and try their French onion soup and Bourride dishes!

This is the type of casual French cafe you'd expect to see in a quaint village in Bordeaux except I saw a rather pricy Loco Moco on their menu. The presence of this Hawaiian staple gave me momentary pause and reminded me I was in the Outer Sunset. It's been around for over a year, but I noticed it only recently when I took the L MUNI line to 66th and Taraval. There was a very welcoming vibe here with big windows, terrace seating, and a split-level dining room with a communal table in the higher space. I decided to have lunch before embarking on my Sunset Dunes walk. I started with the $4 Arnold Palmer which provided me with the right level of refreshment on an unusually balmy day (Photo 8). I ordered the $13 French Onion Soup, and it didn't disappoint. The country crock arrived with the melted Gruyere cheese still bubbling on top. The baguette was floating helplessly underneath the cheese layer, and the beef broth was full of onions and all the other ingredients that make it a classic (Photo 10). The $16 Lyonnaise Frisée, however, fell short due to the overpowering flavor of the vinaigrette which contained too much red wine vinegar for my taste. I can't lay blame on the frisée, bacon bits, or the poached eggs, all present and accounted for (Photo 9). That left me with a split decision on the food, but I had no complaints about the attentive service. The menu overall is a bit too uniquely appetizing to ignore for too long, so another visit is likely. I think the Steak Frites might be worth trying. Not sure about the Loco Moco. FOOD - 3 stars...a solid French onion soup but a disappointing frisée salade AMBIANCE - 4 stars...vibrant French country SERVICE - 4 stars...friendly and attentive TOTAL - 3 stars...a bit of France, mais oui?

The interior of Galinette is so cute! I went there for lunch with a friend on a weekday and was seated right away. Service is friendly and familiar, and the menu is easy to read. One room has a wall of wine and honestly, the decor of the restaurant itself made the lunch more fun than it already was. People watching from the windows was really nice, as well. My heart was set on the french onion soup, and the serving size is perfect for one person. It's oniony, rich, and cheesy! Real nice and warm for an overcast day. My friend ordered the escargot puff pastry for himself, and he said it was nice and creamy, warm, and the puff pastry helped with all of the creamy richness of the dish. We shared wild mushroom medly and the whole roasted air chilled chicken. The mushrooms were buttery and garlicky, so good! And the chicken was cooked perfectly, not a bit of dryness at all on the inside. The green beans had a nice snap to them, which I love in vegetables. Ended up that a whole chicken was WAY too much for just us two, so we split it up and took it home :)

Potato salad
Yuliya Y.

They sat us down right away and helped us get the baby chair. It wasn't busy weirdly but it should be! The waitress was the nicest I've had in a long time. She was very kind and gave us recommendations. I got the wine she recommended and I ended up taking home a bottle. I tried the daily special salad and it was very very good. I was pleasantly surprised. The beef tartar was delicious, on par with ones from high end restaurants where they charge $45. My partner got the Bourride and said he liked it. I didn't try it I don't like seafood much. They provided us with a coloring page and crayons and my baby loved the pasta. I'm definitely coming back again! I loved it, Thank you!

Bourride a.k.a. "The Fake Bouillabaisse"
Grace C.

Came on a Sunday afternoon and no wait. Staff promptly sat us outside with my parents and dog. We order and water for humans and dog came quickly. The food came pretty shortly after. All were a bit salty. Both french onion soup and the fake bouillabaisse was too salty for parents to drink. Mom just ate the seafood, dad had the cheese and left more of the broth, focused on the salad instead. Im going to guess everything was salty to go with wine during the meal. Since we didnt drink, maybe that skewed the meal? Not sure. Came to $40/person.

Causwells is one of the restaurants definitely worth exploring. First off, everyone on staff is so incredibly kind, generous, and welcoming, you'll never want to leave. There is a small bar area immediately to your left when you walk into this intimate feeling Restaurant. The bartender makes you feel like you're walking into chairs. Yes he's busy, but he acknowledges customers walking in. Very cool! We were immediately seated, and while the tables are on the smaller side and fairly close to one another, it's still created a very cozy experience. They have a nice menu that with a variety of items. The people seated next to us were enjoying the salmon and it looked absolutely delicious. We went for the burgers, because it's one of their must try items on the menu. It's a Smashburger with gooey cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and this delicious deliciously soft tasty bun. Diners tip: the burger comes with onions, and we both asked for them to be grilled. This is definitely the way to go. The burger is very generous in size, snd delicious. Perfectly seasoned, well-made, and it is that taste sensation that we all crave when eating a burger. The fries were tasty and lightly seasoned, and if you can get through the entire burger and the fries, you get a gold star. I did my usual two bites and I was done and yes, I took the rest home with me. This is a great restaurant and definitely should be on your list of places to try!

Have a small happy hour 3-5pm. Pros: - Food is decent. Burger was a strong 4/5 (though i asked for my onions grilled, and they were sadly raw and difficult to pull off). Salad with sunchokes and citrus was a nice bit of roughage, nice bitterness in the lettuces. - Banana bread 'grilled cheese' is an epiphany. Must try. - Cocktails were fun & IGworthy. - Vibes & location feel so perfect on a sunny afternoon. Cons: - 1 bathroom stall, can only imagine how rough this gets when during a busy dinner service. - Service was friendly, but often multiple asks for the same item, and long waits between check ins. Overall, a decent spot in an area flush with choice. Probably more of a 3.5 than a 4, but well round up here!

They call you when the table is ready so we were free to walk around. For the smashburgers, they have a beef and a vegetarian patty version, both with 2 patties, double cheese, pickles, and onion. No substitutions but trust me we all got the og burger and it was delicious. Loved the crispy patties with a nice charred edge. I think this may have changed my mind about smashburgers entirely, it was that good. We also got the crispy brussel sprouts to share (on a bed of goat cheese for extra flavor) and the mushroom pizza. I liked the variety of mushrooms they use which gave the pizza a nice earthiness. I'm not a huge fan of white pizzas though so I thought it could have used an extra boost of flavor but for detroit style thicker crust pizza, this was solid.

Eating there is not for me- I'm not a fan of lines or rushed eating and the 60 minute time limit makes sense since they are busy but not my jam. The pizza sauce is pretty blah- a bit too thin and acidic, it isn't horrible but definitely not my favorite. No substitutions or modifications on the pizzas. Overall I do think the crust would make me consider getting take out again but everything else was just ok I will say that the bagels are really excellent if you can get them warm. Once they cool down and if you eat them later (room temp or toasted) it's a solid bagel but it's really only worth a special trip in my opinion if they are hot and fresh
