Cafe Claude

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.

I read the reviews and was looking forward to a nice french food treat. I ordered a steak tartar and it was absolutely not the best steak tartar ... rough and blend ... sorry🙁 The escargot was good, although a bit salty, but garlicky and flavorful unlike steak tartar. I also had a bite of creme brulee and it was light and tasty!

Used to be a favorite of ours. We were excited to go again after a few years. Ambiance. Charming. Live music. Oh yes! Service. Helpful. Salad. Tasty. Coq au Vin. Underwhelming. The Coq au Vin was not good. It should fall off the bone if it’s been cooked as long as they claimed. They claimed five hours. I think not. I sent it back as I was fighting to cut the meat off the bone. Sent it back in case I got an off portion. Second portion. The same. Lots of tendons on the chicken and not tender. The mushrooms had an off flavor too. Deviled eggs. Meh. Duck confit. Decent. Sad. We loved this place.

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.
