Best French Restaurants in Desert Ridge

We always love the dishes we order at The Mick. They’re delicious and unique. Service is always friendly and good. One of the best wine menus in the Valley to pair with the dishes.

I love this restaurant, the food is always great quality and they have the best french onion soup and smash burger. I only wish it was open for lunch. :)

Lovely place. We arrived early for a reservation and were told they were not seating until actual reservation time. This was fine. We sat at the bar and had a drink. Our table was situated by a window and we were able to sit side by side. We explained our food allergies and ordered a bottle of wine. It was recommends by the Bartender, and we were not crazy about it, but it paired ok with our dinners. Next time we would choose something else. We chose to go with the menu rather than ordering from the Valentines Day prix fix menu. We had the warm camembert appetizer with fig jam and toasted bread. Terrific! My husband had the Beef Bourgogne and I had the Pork. Both were excellent and not too big portions but not too small either. We shared the chocolate mousse for dessert. Server brought out complimentary Limoncello(which was thoughtful) but I couldn’t drink because of allergies and we had explained this earlier to server, so I only gave a 4 star for service as this could have been a problem if I didn’t know what I was getting. We will return for Happy Hour and try more of the food. It was raining, cool and windy so we couldn’t sit outside but think that would be nice. Hope his place does well!

We had lunch here to celebrate Valentines Day. We had the Dungeness Crab Salad, fries and 1/2 dozen oysters. We ordered the west coast oysters and they were delicious. The salad was generous, fresh with a light dressing. Very good. The fries were hand cut and fresh out of the hopper when brought to our table. One order was plenty for two of us. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. This was our first visit and we will return. Highly recommend Zinc Bistro.

Some restaurants grow tired after they have been open for a couple of years but Francine is aging like a fine wine, getting better with age. We are frequent diners at this wonderful bistro. I have sampled most of the menu selections but admit I had not sampled the chicken before last night. After all what can you do to chicken that hasn’t been done? Let me assure you the chef at Francine has a chicken preparation that will rock your world, Please know this is a limited availability item. If you are lucky enough to dine on a night where this delicacy is available, count yourself among the culinary fortunate.
