Left Bank is a nice place, and has two convenient locations...one in Santana Row and one in Menlo Park. My S.O. likes Left Bank. but the fact is: It is not a good restaurant for vegans, and every time I go back I am reminded that i usually walk away hungry.
You could probably say the same of any French restaurant, but I don't go to many. One of the issues is that they don't do pasta, so that standby option of getting a veggie pasta is not available. They also never offer a vegetarian entree of any kind, not even one. And they're not big on lots of veggie sides, so my starting materials are always weak.
They used to offer a portabella mushroom as an add-on to their burger, so I used to get a portabella sandwich, but no more portabella.
Finally, it's been a long time since I've had really good service there...the kind of service where the waiter actually helps you figure out what you can eat instead of just kind of looking at yu blankly and waiting for you to figure something out yourself.
So, after yet another meager Left bank meal on Wednesday I vow: No more Left Bank for me. Their Pommes Frites just aren't that good to make it worth it!
