Côte Ouest - Reviews

I recommend this place for its atmosphere, service, and good food. I enjoyed the mussels with French fries, though I was a bit disappointed by the quantity of mussels. However, the mussels were very good, and the French fries were served in a generous portion. I also had a glass of rosé Bandol, which was good. The staff were very warming and professional, making me feel like I was in France during dinner. Moreover, the absence of a 20% charge or a 6% mandate SF added to the check makes this place very different and special.

My experience at this restaurant was very positive. The people were nice and took good care of us, which was impressive considering our group of nine. They managed to squeeze us in, which was appreciated. The price was reasonable, and the food was really good.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. The meals came hot and the wine was delicious. The staff were attentive, contributing to a great overall experience.

My experience at this restaurant was quite unpleasant. We arrived ten minutes before our reservation, but it still took a few minutes to be seated. The staff seemed to ignore us while we were waiting. Once seated, our waitress took a long time to take our order, and she didn't seem to be in the best mood. The service was slow throughout; it took a while for water and even longer for bread to arrive. An hour after being seated, our food still hadn't come out. My husband's wine was served incorrectly, and then the waitress managed to spill red wine all over his expensive jacket, shirt, and pants. This was incredibly embarrassing, especially as we were with old friends visiting for the first time. While the waitress apologized and offered to pay for professional cleaning, the inconvenience was significant. She later offered to comp my husband's wine, which felt inappropriate given the overall terrible experience and the cost of his jacket. The food eventually arrived, but my Sole Meunière had a visible oil handprint on the plate. I would definitely not return, especially given the high reviews, which makes me question their authenticity or respect for customers.

My experience at this restaurant has been fantastic for both brunch and dinner. The food is excellent, with friendly and quick service. The prices are appropriate for the nice portion sizes. I highly recommend the croissant french toast and pork belly for brunch, and the cauliflower al pastor, beef bourguignon, duck confit, and tarte aux pommes for dinner!

My experience at this restaurant was wonderful from start to finish. From the moment the owner greeted us warmly, we felt we had made a great choice. Our reservation was honored, and we were seated promptly. The staff and owner were attentive throughout the meal, ensuring we had everything we needed. We shared the onion soup, which was spectacular, and the summer salad. The cauliflower with grapefruit and goat cheese was another standout dish. I had the sole fish special, which was moist and flavorful, and my partner loved her pork chop. We finished with the warm chocolate dessert, which was incredible. The atmosphere inside is lively and fun, and everything about the evening was memorable. I can't wait to return.

We’re so happy to have found this delightful neighborhood restaurant! We loved sitting next to the kitchen — we felt much appreciation for the kitchen staff as it was a busy lunch and the food came out looking beautiful and tasted delicious! Service was impeccable; they all worked as a friendly and professional team. We shall return!

My experience at this authentic French restaurant was excellent. Both the food and the service were great. I will definitely go back next time I’m in SF.

I stopped by Côte Quest Bistro for brunch and was impressed all around. The bread was perfectly crisp, the French onion soup came out hot and loaded with cheesy goodness, and the crème brûlée was absolutely fantastic. The service was friendly and efficient, and we were seated quickly. I’d recommend making a reservation, though, as the place fills up fast.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. While the staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was great, the brunch food was bland and mediocre. I appreciated the excellent service and ambiance, but the food quality did not meet my expectations.
