Oysters were good. The french onion soup was okay. The cassoulet was fine, the chicken in it was just not fresh. I was hoping the desert would end the meal on a high note, but the french toast was atrocious. The bread tasted spoiled. We also tried the creme brûlée and it was quite possibly one of the worst I’ve had. There are many better french restaurants in the city.

Came to celebrate our anniversary here on a Sunday night. The waitstaff was super friendly and attentive, I can’t say enough good things about how great the staff was. Unfortunately the food was just ok. We order oysters and the 3 course meal. The escargot and the salmon trio were good, though nothing stood out as amazing. The fresh bread was great. The crust was so crunchy and the inside was steamy and fluffy. We paid extra for the filet, which was cooked perfectly medium rare. Unfortunately the duck confer cassoulet was dry and not very flavorful. Desserts were good but you can’t really go wrong with crème brûlée. For $65, the 3 course was definitely worth it. I would come back here again if I’m ever in the mood for French food.

Came in here last night for dinner. It was a Friday evening so had reserved in advance. I have so much to tell about this place so I’ll split it into three parts. 1. Service We were driving from South Bay and was easily at least 30 minutes late. When we called to inform, we were greeted so kindly and were told to not rush and that they would hold the table for us! This felt so sincere and caring, and got us in a good mood already. On arrival, we were immediately taken to our table. It was already packed, so we were surprised that they held the table for so long. During the dinner too, the service was top-notch. Each food was carefully prepared only after we were done with our appetizer. 5/5 2. Food I’m not a French food expert but the food was so good, we left feeling happy. We had escargot, mesclun salad, soup a l’oignon, and filet mignon. Everything was delicious, meat was tender and juicy and left us feeling pretty full. For dessert, we ordered their French toast. I have never had French toast as a dessert after dinner but boy am glad I didn’t miss this. The bread just melted in my mouth. 5/5 3. Ambience For the price range, you’d expect a fancier ambience. But it’s very casual. The space was small, so it felt crowded and was very noisy, just like other reviews had mentioned. There was no music, so maybe that made it worse? Not sure. Ambience gets a 3/5 But I’d still give it a 5/5 overall just because the food and the service left us feeling so happy - the way you’d feel after watching a really good movie. Would definitely be visiting this place again!

We had a lovely experience in this beautiful and quaint french restaurant. We had the 3 course dinner with wine. The food was excellent. We had onion soup, fresh beet salad, mushroom risotto, duck confit, salmon and an array of delicious desserts. The duck came on a bed of cannelloni beans and it was delicious. Everything was well prepared and delicious. The main chef also met us at the end of the evening. We loved this cosy restaurant and are looking forward to going back again. The only downside was finding parking which took more time than expected.

This French restaurant is a true culinary haven. The service was impeccable, with a knowledgeable and friendly staff who made us feel right at home. The food was a gastronomic delight - from escargot to crème brûlée, each dish was a masterpiece. The ambiance exuded a charming, old-world French charm, and the wine selection was outstanding. I left with a full belly and a happy heart.

This may be my favorite restaurant in the city (definitely top 3!). I’ve eaten here numerous times and dinner is always outstanding from beginning to end. I’m my opinion, it’s tough to find a place that delivers a 10/10 on every single course; Chapeau always delivers. This place is absolutely worth your time, it’s a magnificent dining experience!

Delicious Dinner, fantastic service and wonderful wine. Order the special of it's available, we had the Ribeye for two and it was incredible!

Chapeau provides a marvelous dining experience. From the excellent service to the pleasant atmosphere (no loud music) to the fabulous food - I can't wait to return. It is worth every penny.

It is our first time here. We were looking for some place near us to have dinner together for our anniversary. I have lots to say about this place! Appetizer They are both great! We ordered Escargot and Salmon Trio for our appetizer and they both are so good! For me, personally, the escargot is a little too salty but when it paired with the bread, it was really good! And the bus boy recommended us to pair them and they taste so good together! Thank to him :)) For Salmon Trio, my husband and I agreed on that it tastes okay but not so incredibly good. Entree Halibut was soooooo good! It is the only one dish I would come back for. Fillet Mignon is somewhat salty but I don’t eat beef, so I can’t really comment on this but my husband is a meat eater and he said it wasn’t a wow for him but it was fine :) Dessert Crème brûlée is good but maybe slightly too sweet for me but I think most people would like this one :) French toast is so good!!! The toast was soft inside and crispy on the outside and it was topped with salted caramel ice cream which is so rich in cream and so tasty! Here is what I was expecting; The service Our server last night, 11/04, was not really good and we were quite disappointed. He asked the tables around us how everything was doing but he skipped our table every time, every single time. He kinda looked down on us a little too. So, it is very unpleasant and sad to see such good restaurant in our neighborhood being not as friendly as it should be like this. The hostess is great! The moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were impressed by him. He was so friendly and warm welcoming us. I forgot to take his name but he was awesome! The bus boy was actually our 5 stars last night, his name is Carlos, he is great and super awesome!!!! He was the one who recommended us to try the bread with the escargot sauce while our server didn’t really care about us. I used to work in food and beverage industry for many years and still working in customer service industry, I think Carlos should actually be our server not the other. And we decided to give good tips where we really want our tips to be for Carlos and the hostess who gave us such a great service. I just don’t think our server deserved our tips at all. So, two stars off from the service point for what I expected from our server and really came out disappointed. Those good stars were for service indeed that we received from Carlos and the hostess. Thank to both for making our night last night so great 🤗🙏🏻

The bread was fresh and with a good crunch. Escargot was hot with lots of garlic and basil - great for bread dipping. The salmon trio looked cute but nothing special. The pork tenderloin was moist and tender. The charred cauliflower was tasty but the risotto was soft but the flavor was just ok. The French toast with caramel ice cream parred well and the chocolate lava cake with vanilla oozed out. Excellent service. The cook greeted us and the workers filled out hot water cups and wine. $35 for wine corkage fee.

My bf took me here for my birthday! The food was amazing and we met the head chef. I had the most incredible passion fruit martini, it was so fresh!

A family atmosphere with exquisite customer service. The food was extraordinary. The first restaurant I have been to with alcohol-free cocktails. French food and the host Phillipe, oh la la. The man knows how to make patrons feel like family. If you are in San Francisco, you need to visit Chapeau! We give them an A. Phillipe coup De Chapeau!

French cuisine. Excellent dinner. Delicious meal. Friendly service. Al fresco dining available.

Best French restaurant in San Francisco- An authentic, sophisticated French restaurant with absolutely savory and delicious food. Pictured are the dishes we had- Hors d'oeuvre- Trio of Salmon and Salade Landaise, both perfectly executed-the frisee was seasoned wonderfully and the Trio of Salmon was the best salmon tartare I have ever had- it included gravlax and salmon roes along with roasted capers, egg crumbles and cream fraiche. Plat Principal: Toulouse style cassoulet with duck confit and mushroom risotto, both were fantastic and cooked to perfection. Dessert: We both had the profiteroles, easily one of the tastiest desserts I have ever had, perfectly executed, not overly sweet, highly satisfying.

Loved most of the dishes I had here. The escargot, onion soup and Filet Mignon were very good however I didn't like the mushroom risotto. The mushroom was served, 1 big chunk of it, on top of the risotto and cooked separately. The risotto was mushy, not creamy like I've had it at other places, and bland as it was cooked without the mushroom. Chapeau is worthy of the 5 stars because it's a nice neighborhood restaurant, the service was excellent and food is very good (just not the risotto).

An authentic French restaurant with absolutely savory and delicious food. Pictured is the escargot (pesto looking dish), soupe a l'oignon, mushroom risotto, cassoulet, creme brulee, and the chocolate cake. The occasion was a dinner date during restaurant week and the owner kindly let me know that the prices are the same year round, which is fantastic! The French martini was also very delicious and well made. I would come back again easily

Every single bite here was amazing. The service was wonderful. The bartender took our drink orders, the chef brought our entrees with a twinkle in his eye, the server nailed the wine pairings, and the dessert chef blew our minds with a magical take on french toast. We were so busy enjoying it we only took one photo! This place was an absolute treat and I cannot recommend it enough!

Chapeau! is definitely the top pick during SF restaurants week. The 3 course dinner is beyond my expectations. We randomly picked up appetizers, entrees and desserts from the menu. Each course is delicious and more than enough for me. Waiters are very friendly.
