Came here for my wife's birthday. I had never been but I've always known about it. The pommes frites were wonderful, of course. I don't have a point of reference for the fois gras, but I found it enjoyable with the berry sauce that came with it. Other diners said it seemed more "processed" than other fois gras. The mussels were great. I had the poulet roti which was very tasty and I feel like I probably made the worst choice after sampling my friend's coq a vin and duck confirm, which were amazing. Not too much if a desert guy but my Apple tart was high quality. The server was responsive, quick with suggestions when asked but never pushy or pedantic. The atmosphere was grown up fun. Oh and my Sazerac made me sad I was designated driver and could only have one. This is a lot more than I've paid for dinner in quite a while but well worth it.
Although we waited even though we had a reservation my friend and I made the best of it. In the meantime we were served some sparkling kava wine to help us pass the time. Awesome waiter !! Tastiest French onion soup, mussels, and pate w/cheese platter !!! Delishus !! Oh and live band and singer was top notch !! Definitely going back to try the Coq Au Vin next time !!
Excellent in every way.
The bar manager made our night so lovely by great service and fantastic recommendations on both wine and food. Escargots were incredible. The nicoise was amazing. I would come back for that!!!
I love this place.
Friendly wait staff and delicious food.
My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at Cafe Claude. They graced us with champagne to toast our special evening and were very attentive yet gave us privacy . I recommend the steak frites and apple tart tatin. I look forward to coming back soon to try coq au vin , creme brulee and possibly escargot en crute .
Recently had a lovely dinner here, we had a lovely evening, such an authentic French restaurant, even the staff are French. Bill for 3 was around $250.
Wonderful atmosphere, great service. There is no pressure to rush as we drank our wine and listened to a very nice jazz quartet. The food was fabulous! Certainly one of the best meals I've had in some time. A sexy vibe and truly memorable experience. Reservations were easy to make and they both emailed and called to confirm with me. I won't hesitate to visit again next time I'm in San Francisco!
We had the 5 course prix fixed dinner on New Years eve Saturday night and it was amazing to say the least ! Filet mignon was so tender and and moist along with the potatoes augratin was simply very tasteful and satisfying . Every course was delicious . Henriot champagne was out of this world.
This place set the mood for a wonderful New Year eve, we stayed at the Fairmont.
There are definitely little treasure restaurants hidden within this fine city, and Cafe Claude is one of them. We both were born and raised in SF.
We will definitely be back.
Having received a recommendation from a friend for Café Calude I thought I’d give it a try when I was passing by.
Wow! I was not disappointed.
The food and wine were delicious and the staff and the service was faultless.
I can’t wait to come back.
Wonderful! Food was delicious! Service was exquisite! Highly recommend!
Café Claude is Très Très Chic! First of all our bartender/server, sorry I forgot your name. 😊😊😊. -hostess was so nice. Very welcoming and inviting what an amazing experience! We had Champagne, Escargot Bœuf Tartare, Salade du Frizée, Soupe à L'oignon, Confit du Canard and le Bœuf et Frites. À la finie Pot du Crème et Crème Brûlé !! Thanks for an awesome experience!! We will be back with friends and ask for table 22.
Great food great service mmm that steak and frites and bifte tartar to die for
My warmest welcome to a San Francisco cafe of such high class ever! From Esteban to Arianna and the delicious food made it a wonderful experience!
Loved the ambiance! As a single diner, I like to find places like Cafe Claude in my travels for business. I will be back.
Came across this place by chance and had a fantastic lunch- so good in fact that when the bill arrived and there was a leaflet about jazz on Thursday- Saturday nights we booked again for that night!
Had completely different meals each time and both were excellent , service great too!
Already recommended to a friend who is in San Francisco next week on business!
Keep up the good work and see you next time!
Had an amazing meal, and I enjoyed eating off my wife's and friends plates! Bon appetit! �
Great spot to wine taste with friends & family. Chic and fresh decor. I have been to several events here: a going away party, an engagement, a dress rehearsal... and a surprise birthday. All great events. They have a cheese plate that is yummy but overall the appetizers and small plates are disappointing. Wine is the main attraction! The food is a plus if you've arrived famished. Miner Family Vineyards is a favorite. Difficult place to get to if you and your group are not city friendly. Look at a map twice and plan out parking before you go. If you take a taxi you're fine!
Delicious food but the wait time for the food to come out was insanely long. We came during a weekday and we thought we were lucky to get a table for 3 around 7PM, but the whole meal was about 1 1/2 hours to get all the food on the table. They did give us some bread in advance. However we were very tired by the time we finished our meal.
We ordered the roast duck, steak and cheese plate with honey comb. Everything was lovely, no complains on the food.
I’ll back again for another meal with my friends, hopefully the food wait time would be shorter.
Nice restaurant with outdoor seating and overlooking a major and very popular road. Looks like an Asian but you can also enjoy French delicacies here. It's good for individual and group relaxation as well. Given the ambience and services on offer the price can be rated as very affordable and inexpensive.
We were in downtown SF and picked this place for lunch because it was a sunny day and the restaurant had outside seating. We ended up not eating outside because it was too windy in the alley where the restaurant is located. We didn't regret eating inside because the interior felt comfortable and cozy. We were seated promptly even though the restaurant was almost full. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. I had the cold cuts plate (assiette de charcuteríe) and the trout with green beans (truite amandine) and both were very good. The kids had the roasted chicken and emptied their plates. Recommended, I would eat here again.
Great find for French dining in San Francisco. The escargot was prepared to perfection. The foie gras was perfectly balanced with a berry compote. The swordfish was an incredible fish cooked to perfection. Looking forward to my next visit.
Cafe Claude was wonderful. The staff was wonderful. The ambience was wonderful and eclectic. The food, ooo la la! The morrow bitter on a perfect steak, and so so tasty steak were amazing. We started with a drink " perfect something" and ended with a creme brulee and apple carmel tart. Wow. The parking is a challenge but so worth it. Fun to walk around the city too.
