Inspired by the birthplace of the original Parisian brasseries along the Left Bank of the Seine River, Left Bank Brasserie is an authentic Parisian-style brasserie by Chef Roland Passot. Left Bank pays homage to the joie
de vivre that is synonymous with the Left Bank neighborhood in Paris. Guests are invited to step into
French culture, in a vibrant, social atmosphere that captures all the charm of traditional brasseries
and iconic alfresco dining of France. An all-day menu features authentic French cuisine utilizing
seasonal, local and organic ingredients, and consists of iconic lighter fare such as oysters, tartare and
prawns provençal, in addition to heartier classics like coq au vin and beef bourguignon. Inspired by the
Parisian-style Bar Américain, an extensive cocktail menu features classics of a bygone era, along with a
wide range of rotating taps, seasonal drafts and bottled beer, and an expertly-curated wine selection.

The waiter and staff were lovely.. the champagne was delicious but I ordered the Niçoise salad and it was probably the worst meal I have ever had.. over dressed salad and the ahi tuna was slimy and tasted awful. They should be embarrassed to serve this to anyone.. very disappointing.

We went on New Year’s Eve so it was crowded. Servers were nice and food was good. We sat outdoors with the heaters on it was fine. We ordered calamari and escargots for appetizers. Both were tasty though we wish the portion for the calamari was bigger with more calamari instead of vegetables. Our entrees were beef short ribs, sole and mussels. All deliciously prepared. We would go back again.

We have been frequent diners here since it opened but the overall menu is getting tired. Worse, the holiday menu left a lot to be desired. First, super-limited options for Christmas Eve. Then the meat they called "prime rib" on their holiday menu was more like a bad bistro steak. It bore no resemblance to any prime rib I have ever had, and I have had many. Thin, fatty and not even the prime rib cut. WTH?? Thankfully, the squash soup was good. Neither of the desserts appealed and no others were on offer so we ordered a la carte. That horrible steak cost us $52. Outrageous because it was awful and not even what it was advertised to be. The sidecar cocktail was on the small side, as is traditional. My advice is putting lipstick on a bistro steak doesn't make it prime rib or worth $52. The limited menu items left a bad taste, as well. Two dessert options (one was a brie, the other hazenut yule log) what were you thinking? Just no attention to making the meal festive for customers. It'll be a long time 'til we return, if at all. The saving grace was our wonderful server, Kimberly. But even so, it'll

We went to the Christmas Eve pre fixe dinner. We are new to the area, and didn’t know anything about the Left Bank, but the meals looked good. The ambiance was relaxed and warm; the employees seemed to be enjoying themselves. We had a 4pm reservation to make sure that the noise level was tame. And it was. The food was delicious: a perfectly cooked prime rib and wonderfully savory and woody mushroom pappardelle. Salad, dessert and coffee were tasty. Service was a bit rushed, but when we asked our server to slow it down a bit she was happy to do so. We spent about 2 hours there eating and talking and enjoying ourselves. I would definitely recommend the Left Bank for a good meal out.
