Fleur de Lys

My personal favorite restaurant

by pcalhoun

This was our second time at Fleur De Lys, the first time being the one in Vegas. I found that the ambiance, as well as the service, was better in San Francisco. The restaurant basically uses a dinner format that allows you to choose how many "courses" you want, with the option of having each course paired with wine. You can go for 3, 4 or 5 courses.

There is a menu to help you build your courses, but what I would recommend to anyone is to tell your server to ask that the chef surprises you - of course, you have to be open to eating anything on the menu, but the chef does create a personalized menu where each course builds on the previous one.

Each plate is art - the taste, the pairing of the ingredients, the taste.... we were anticipating each course and it delivered each and every time.

The cost is high, especially with the pairing - but it is really an experience worth having.

• Pros: Fantastic food
• Cons: High price

Its too bad....

It was our anniversary so we were lucky enough booking late for a reservation for a 2 top during the week. We had very high expectations because it was rated top 5 french in the city.... where was the chef?

we had ancey servers and not knowing who was our server out of the first 4 people to come to our table.

if knife cuts and color with plate design was the three components to food the meal was great, except that you forgot FLAVOR , SALT and PEPPER.

thanks to the wine, and the dessert part of the night was worth it.

• Pros: Great wine
• Cons: seasoning

This is by far my favorite restaurant in San Francisco. The wine pairings are worth the extra money simply because they work beautifully with the menu. I love the attention to detail in everything from the food presentation to the artwork. Simply yummy all around!

• Pros: Food, Wine, Service
