Citysearch
The Scene – Gone are the marionettes and other whimsies from this Russian Hill institution. Celebrity foodies, chefs, and the cream of the neighborhood crop are now greeted by two soaring, opulent rooms. The front dining area is a grand, rose-hued box accented with copper-colored drapes, warm wood and white-topped tables. A second "green room" features velvet upholstered walls, a high, marbled ceiling with peaked skylights, and elegant cream, violet and emerald accents. – – The Food – Passot's admirers include the late Julia Child for his refined California spin on…

Always Impressive
by michaelvar
I've eaten at La Folie off and on since 1995 and they have always been "on" for me. Exceptional food, excellent service and great atmosphere. Their sort of recent dining room remodel has added to the ambiance. Truly one of the best French restaurants around.
- Pros: The food!

Not what I exspected
by tin_tin129
There was two dining rooms at La Folie. The entrance dining room is very modern and romantic and the other dining room were I was seated is old, bright and looked like a billiards pool room. When I walked in the resturant, I was really excided to sit down and have a romantic V-day dinner with my hon, but when the waiter seated us in the back room that I was unaware of my whole mood changed. I was angry and disapointed because the back dining room was totally different from the front room. I was even more mad when I notice that there were availiable tables in the front and they did not give us those seats. While seated in the back, I looked around and noticed that people that did not look classy enough were seated in the back. Food was okay, but dont try the frog legs. It was really dry and there was no taste to it.
- Pros: Food was okay
- Cons: Not romanitc and it was noisy

how I miss the perfect pairing of fresh foie gras and sauternes.

Oh yes, if only all French restaurants in the city would follow your lead, I'd be a lot happier, and fatter, ha ha!
Oh how I miss the huge, fresh, French truffles you offer to slice over everything on my degustation meal. Oh how I miss the perfect pairing of fresh foie gras and sauternes. Oh how I miss the cheeses.
Oh, oh, oh!
