   Had a great experience. Excellent food - the fish was delicious and the steaks were juicy and tender. Extensive wine list reasonably priced. Very attentive service. Everything you want from a classic French bistro

   Fantastic all round experience, the food was exceptional, well executed, traditionally based but contemporary without anything extraneous, every element did what it needed to do. The service was a real highlight, attentive, warm, knowledgable and added a lot to the evening. The wine list is one of those rare beasts that is both expansive and fairly priced, with a dangerously good mix of classics and off-piste selections. By the glass is solid but the real fun is in the full list, some great finds. I'd go back there in a second.

   I visit French Saloon with my colleagues every couple of weeks for a well earned steak frites and glass of wine. Cannot ever fault this place. People are amazing, the food is incredible and the wines are fabulous. The creme burlee is also sensational. One of my favourite places in Melbourne for steak frites.

   My response to the waitress that said "Would you like something weird." Is that this is not the first time this middle aged white guy has been judged on his looks by staff at an eatery and no I'm not a Trump supporter. Therefore in the name of equality, the waitress shouldn't have a problem with young women being labelled feminazis instead of compassionate feminists. There will not be a third visit.

   Overall lovely experience at French Saloon. The front of house staff were lovely and very accommodating on the night! The food was also wonderful with the tartare and kingfish being standout dishes. Thanks for a wonderful experience team!

   Generally a very pleasant four-star experience, with attentive waiters, an efficient kitchen, and delicious food. It was soured however, at the end of the evening, when presented with the bill with options of 10%, 15% and 20% gratuity. I had intended to tip [a different amount] but, when it was an expectation that I tip at specific levels, I abandoned my plans to tip. I was vindicated when the receipt arrived incorporating a credit card surcharge, avaricious when one considers that the meals and beverages were at a level that would comfortably absorb this minor cost of doing business.

   Booked this for our Lunar New Year eve dinner. Very glad that we were given a table by the window as requested. The food was excellent! The server was attentive and provided good service. The place is quaint and nice. This restaurant is our favourite and my go to for a good meal. Keep it up!
