This romantic, intimate French bistro in SoMa has only 20 tables and a semicircular bar squeezed into its small, attractive dining space, with freshly painted yellow walls decorated with modern art, and wine bottle storage covers the rear wall. Located near China Basin and Pac Bell Park, the chef-owned restaurant features French cuisine with a Basque influence, and an extensive dessert menu.
