Medicore food, mussels were the size of my fingernail, entrees were disappointing (who puts marinara sauce with halibut). The servers and busboys were unusually eager to clear the plates and glasses from our meal the minute we were finished. Decor was let for the imagination. Only plus is the outdoor seating in Beldon Pl.
Pros: Bread
Cons: Food, Service, Bill

DISAPPOINTING! Our waiter pretty much ignored the five of us in our group for the single women at the next booth. My ahi tuna was to be cooked rare, but came back well-done. I would have sent it back but could never find our waiter. Another dish was to have bass with cranberries, but came back as a piece of bass on top of pinto beans??? When we finally got the waiter we asked about the cranberries and he responded in a French accent "bass with cranberries and nosh", but we still couldn't find the cranberries?? Pinto beans = cranberries? Over salted and took over 30 minutes for our meal. When we complained to the host he turned around and blamed us. He said we should have told him our concerns when he came around to our table. HE NEVER CAME TO OUR TABLE! Go at your own risk.
Pros: Nice hostess
Cons: Rude waiters, Long wait for dinner, Salty food

Love this place!!! I have been there several times and loved it every time. The service is good, I love the location, Belden place is great, the food is amazing. It is good for a large group, but it might be a little crowded for an intimate, romantic dinner. The tables are very close together.

Plouf is a good restaurant in terms of food and service. Nothing mind-blowing, but a solid meal. However, I was there last week and had utterly obnoxious service. Our water glasses were removed while we were still drinking at the end of the meal. Not only were they removed prematurely, but the waiter stuck his fingers into the glasses. Our party was howling at how utterly rude it was. Then my dinner napkin was pulled out from under my arm. This is unacceptable after we had had a 3-course meal and had not in any way overstayed our welcome. I called the restaurant and gave them the opportunity to address this rude behavior, and they did not even have the curtesy to call me back. I will make it clear to my many friends in the Bay Area to scratch this restaurant off their list of places to go.

I ventured to Plouf after researching a French place on citysearch and let me just say that it was certainly an amazing experience. The carpaccio was titilating, the seared ahi was perfect, the lava cake was ... was... oh man! I intended to just have an entree, in and out, but the service was so attentive (had 4 different people asking me if everything was to my satisfaction) that i splurged! And was it worth it! Ask for remy!
Pros: Food, Service

I went here last night and was completely underwhelmed by the whole experience. I found the waiter to be aloof and condesending (he exuded a fake friendliness) and felt it was inappropriate for him to scold a table busser for clearing one of his tables right next to us. The Shrimp Crostini was a disappointment. For $21, I expect to get a bit more than 6 small shrimp on Rosemary skewers. The crispy Duck was good, but not "crispy". Te Pommes frites were not hot and tasted unsalted (adding salt to warm fries at the table doesn't do any good). The "warm" chocolate lava cake was cold when delivered to our table. They brought a new one, but that wasn't much warmer. If this is what San Francisco means by French Bistro, then the city has a lot to learn. I will not be returning to this restaurant.
Pros: Friendly hostess
Cons: , Overpriced wine, Tight spaces

Get the muscles even if youve never had them. We also took our waiters recommendation and ordered the special which was seared tuna. Both meals were incredible. I also recommend the Dessert for two which has a mini tart, creme brulee, chocolate mouse and some other goodies.
Pros: Reasonably priced, Fun atmosphere

I've been to plouf twice. On the first visit we were seated outside and on the second visit we dined inside the restaurant. On both visits the waiter and staffs were very polite and attentive. Unlike their neighbor Cafe Tiramisu, which has the most rude waiter in Belden Place.
Pros: great service, great food, inexpensive
Cons: , no parking

The mussel's at plouf are outstanding. You must try the cocunut milk ones. They are just great. The pomme frittes and the wine and the killer desserts all tucked away neatly in belden lane. Truly another french masterpiece on a culinary par with Chagall and Gerad Depardue!
Don't miss Bastille day (july 14!!!) Belden blows up!
Pros: Great Mussels, Seriously...., Try the mussels
Cons: Not liking mussels
