Left Bank is a local favorite for the wrong reason - snob appeal. The food is good but overpriced even for Menlo Park (a very expensive area so all the restaurants are expensive.) They overcrowd the dining room, it's always too loud to have a conversation inside. The service is perfunctory and sometimes poor. more

I've been there so many times I'm finally starting to tire of the menu. The food is consistently great, but the wine mark-up is a little much. Service can be great (ask for Greg from South Africa) or it can totally suck. more
