What Carol Macedo likes about Left Bank:
As always, the Left Bank was a wonderful dining experience. The escargot were perfect, with the Acme bread, however, my only complaint was the lettuce in the Salad Nicoise. Instead of the usual butter lettuce, there was instead a mixture of arugula and other red lettuce which were not trimmed and had to be cut into bite sized pieces to eat. It was also a bit over dressed; otherwise very good, but a small disappointme... View all feedback. What discerning doesn't like about Left Bank:
Off night. Food and Service were not as good as usual. Chicken was ordered w/o sauce but came with it, asked for another ketchup for fries but it never came, hard to get a refill of water. View all feedback.

It's always a pleasure to eat at Left Bank. It truly takes you away to a time when the world was sane and joyful. Food is delicious and ambience elegant

Left Bank, known for its great menu and beautiful patio, received mixed reviews from recent diners. Some were disappointed with the quality of the food, particularly the portion sizes and lackluster entrees. However, others had a wonderful experience, praising the oysters, tuna tartare, and exceptional service. While some dishes were delicious, there were concerns about consistency post-pandemic. Overall, Left Bank is praised for its ambiance, attentive staff, and solid food, but there were lingering disappointments and hopes for improvement in the menu offerings. One reviewer even encouraged diners to try the superior fries while reminiscing about some disappeared favorites.

Wowza, the service was very poor and inattentive. Case in point, I ordered mussels for my mom and we had to repeatedly ask for a fish fork. It didn't arrive unt...
