- PPatriciaVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •46 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoAnd yet again we had a fabulous dinner and time at La Sen. We have been enjoying/loving this restaurant for at least 10 yrs since they were located in Concord, CA. We even have a special table next to the wine wall. Every time we walk through the door, we are greeted by smiles and "welcome back". My husband is a wonderful chef and spoils me every night for dinner, BUT he doesn't prepare roast duck breast. That we save for our La Sen dinner. Because the portion is large, we always do a split plate, which is just enough food for each of us. It is always cooked to perfection. Hot crispy skin outside and medium rare inside, lovely sauce on top with a polenta square and perfectly cooked veggies. A lot of restaurants try to rush through the service, La Sen servers understand that it's the whole experience to be enjoyed and expertly time each course to allow the savoring of tastes and nice quiet conversations of table diners. The other shout out I have is their mushroom soup. It is by far the best I have ever slurped. It is a special soup du jour and glad it's been offered for the last three times we have been there. It is so decadent and glides down my throat putting a yummy content look on my face. My husband gets their calamari frits, which he says is one of the best he has ever tasted.More infoWalnut Creek Branch - La Sen BistroPrice: Expensive• French• Walnut Creek•4.8

- KKaterSan Francisco Bay Area •5 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe had not been to La Fontaine for 6+ months, so were reminded how excellent this restaurant is. Food was delicious and portioned well since we were able to split the daily special appetizer with buratta, prosciutto, tomato and toast. Then each had a main. My wife enjoined the sole involtini with asparagus rolled inside the fish and a buttery caper sauce. I loved the spicy pasta with roasted eggplant. A glass of wine each topped off an enjoyable meal. Wait staff are incredible, friendly and knowledgeable.More infoLa Fontaine - Walnut CreekPrice: Moderate• Italian• Walnut Creek•4.5
