From the OpenTable editors: It could be the red leather banquettes, cheese counter, or silver buckets of wine, but everything about Little Frenchie screams Paris. Fuel your idyllic getaway with bistro classics like crepes and moules frites, very drinkable glasses of French and Californian wines, and a breathtaking seven-layer chocolate cake with Chantilly cream.

    Service and food is always consistently very good and this visit did was not disappoint. We had the steak frites and pepper steak. I love the atmosphere, but be aware that when it gets crowded the acoustics are really loud (too loud for conversation).

    Best French casual restaurant in San Diego. Everything was made and cooked very well. The side salads could be spruced up a bit as it was just lettuce and nothing else. The Cruffin was lovely. The Benedict was amazing. The quiche was light and fluffy with a crunchy edge.

    We make it a point to eat here before taking in a play at the theater nearby. Our server was attentive and the food is always very good. I strongly recommend the beef tartare, french onion soup, asparagus in mornay sauce and the French dip sandwich. Great ambiance as well. Lively but not too loud. Thanks Little Frenchie!
