   Our service was beyond slow - we felt ignored. Two tables that were seated in our section after us with larger parties were served and finished before we got our order (which was soup).

   The food was so delicious (had the beef bourguignon), our waiter was absolutely fantastic, but not a good spot if you want to have a conversation with more than two people (we had a business holiday lunch for 7). However, I'm coming back for the first two reasons listed.

   Had my early Christmas lunch with my husband today at LB. It’s our yearly tradition. We both ordered the beef bourguignon, one of their classic dishes, which is consistently fantastic. Service was friendly, pleasant, and professional. We love this restaurant. My other favorite dish is their Niçoise salad. Best in the Bay Area!

   It sounds like a beautiful tradition! Beef bourguignon is such a comforting and delicious choice, and we’re thrilled it lived up to your expectations. Plus, the Niçoise salad is definitely a fan favorite! Thank you for sharing your experience—your praise means the world to us. We look forward to making more wonderful memories with you and your husband!

   My friend and I were disappointed to see that the trout almondine was no longer on the menu. But we tried the sole instead, and it was even better! Presented over a bed of perfectly sautéed spinach with a lemon buerre-blanc sauce, it was heavenly! Highly recommended!

   We're sorry to hear about the trout almondine, but it sounds like the sole more than made up for it! That lemon beurre-blanc sauce over sautéed spinach sounds absolutely delightful. Thank you for the recommendation—sounds like a dish we'll have to try! We can't wait to welcome you back for more amazing dishes!

   One of my favorite places in San Jose. Very nice in the summer evenings outside and cozy inside in colder or rainy weather. Especially like the appetizers menu, my most often ordered dishes are charcuterie and fondue. Husband enjoys escargot. Today we were sitting at the table facing side windows, it was not crowded and created solitude experience, which was perfect for the occasion.

   It sounds like a wonderful spot for a cozy or enjoyable evening! The combination of charcuterie, fondue, and escargot must make for a truly delightful experience. Sitting by the windows adds such a serene touch, especially when it's not crowded. Thank you for sharing your favorite dishes and the peaceful atmosphere—it's great to hear you had a perfect occasion!

    We spent over $300 for a group of 4 celebrating a birthday. Adding a $2 charge for the birthday scoop of ice cream is annoying more than anything. Food was tasty, fondue was good with the blended cheese. Service was okay but nothing memorable. Felt rushed at the end when he was going on break or leaving.

We're glad to hear that the food, especially the fondue, was enjoyable. We apologize for the rushed feeling at the end, and we'll work on ensuring a more relaxed and memorable experience. Thank you for letting us know, and we hope to provide a better experience next time.
