What Ethan Hewitt doesn't like about Le Petit Bistro:
1. Food: The lamb was good, but the duck liver was of low quality and lacked flavor. 2. Service: I inquired with the server about whether the duck liver originated from Eastern Europe or France; she didn't know. However, she was consistently attentive with refilling the water. 3. Unusuall charges: I was surprised to see a mandatory 22% tip added to our bill. I've never encountered such a high mandatory tip, even at Michelin-starred restaurants, and this establishment is not on par with them. The staff was efficient, but they weren't particularly friendly and seemed to lack in-depth knowledge about their menu. Unfortunately, due primarily to reason 3, we won't be returning. What Chrissie Manion Zaerpoor likes about Le Petit Bistro:
Three entrees, three appetizers, one dessert. Every single bite of every single item was superb. Excellent food, excellent service. Authentic but not pretentious. Please don 't tell anybody else, we keep it or little secret. I like it, I love it, I want some more of it. Vegetarian options: Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 View all feedback.

Very charming French bistro! Service is one of the best in the Mountain View area. I recommend getting their French onion soup, duck liver and pork chop.

The reviews for Le Petit Bistro paint a varied picture of the establishment. Some diners found the food to be lacking in flavor and properly cooked, while others praised the authenticity of the French cuisine and the attentive service. There were complaints about unfriendliness and lack of kid-friendliness from the staff, as well as unusual charges such as a high mandatory tip. The ambiance and overall experience seemed to be mixed, with some patrons enjoying the homey feel and delicious dishes, while others were left underwhelmed by the meal. Despite the discrepancies in reviews, Le Petit Bistro stands as a place worth trying for those looking for an authentic taste of France.
