"This newcomer to Jack London Square, part of a mini-chain through the South and North bays, hit the ground running with a sprawling space that feels quintessentially French. The airy all-day restaurant has a right-sized all-day menu to match, including an ample selection of wine by the glass or bottle, beer, and house takes on familiar cocktails. Kids are not afterthoughts; they get specially designed, colorable menus (and crayons) with inviting riffs on French classics. The croque monsieur “Americain” comes with a cup of tomato soup, mac and cheese features a cheddar-Bechamel sauce, and there’s grilled salmon with fresh vegetables for those young pescatarians. Playspace bonus: let the kiddos burn energy in the quad out front by marveling at the fountain or climbing the wolf statue that honors the square’s namesake." - Laura Smith Borrman
