Built on reputation and no solid follow-up to keep it. Sadly, this restaurant has been so spoiled for the Loehmann's shoppers that they've forgotten what made them great. The food has since turned to mediocre, and the passerbys gawking at you has become a huge nuisance. Oh not that I have anything against sidewalk cafes or eateries, they're tons of fun, but this one just isn't cutting it for me.

I love the steak tartare -- and unlike many other restaurants, the waiters will mix it for you at the table. My favorite treat is to go there after shopping on a Saturday afternoon, sit outside, sip a nice pinot noir, and have lunch. I've never had a bad experience there -- either for service or food.

I went here with friends and enjoyed it. It's a bit out of the way but very close to shopping at Union Square so it's worth a trip. A nice trip to Europe within San Francisco.

OH LA LA...they have everything so right ...down to the wine recommendations, the outdoor cafe table settings, the live jazz in the evenings...and of course the best 'pommes frites' ( french fries!)! Perfect for a business lunch or an incredible romantic 'Paris" rendez-vous! Nicolas, the head-waiter, if needed, will expertly guide you through a wonderful meal! (He used to work at L'EPI DUPIN in the 6th, Paris! ). Very vegetarian friendly, too! When you would like that little bit of PARIS ...you will find it at CAFE CLAUDE in San Francisco!

Recently some friends and I went to Cafe Claude to check out their renovation. They've done a great job and improved on an already great formula. The interior is warmer and cozier. Great for a date or small group. The food is perfect french bistro, delicious and affordable. The specials were outstanding. We particularly liked the Poulet Roti and the Coq au Vin. If you want a real treat, order the Steak Tartare. The service was warm and attentive. Our waiter would appear exactly when we needed a refill in our wine glasses. It gets busy on weekends with live music, but it all adds to a great night. We'll be back.
