    This was our 2nd visit to this restaurant. It was as we remembered, a perfect dining experience. It was expensive, but worth every penny. I had the onion soup, the ribeye steak, a glass of red wine - all excellent! The service was impeccable.

    Delicious food: fantastic scallops seared and spiced perfectly & asparagus prepared perfectly. Duck breast done medium delicious. Wine list needs work. Great food reasonably priced.

    The best French Restaurant in Walnut Creek! Snails were perfect! The onion soup and mushroom soup superb! The duck and pork were beautifully served in wonderful sauces with polenta and fresh vegetables. The food was served hot! Bravo! The profiteroles were the perfect way to conclude the meal. The service needs improvement ! I understand one of the servers was sick so that was the cause of the delays in service tonight! More training is needed for those woerking there.

    La Sen Bistro has definitely earned a place in our "restaurant rotation". This was our 3rf time dining here and once again it was great. The food is very "French" and delicious, the service very good and the ambiance makes you feel th a table you're dining in a real Parisian cafe.
