La Bonne Table

This spot offers fantastic upscale French cuisine. The appetizers are a hit, especially the large pate and rich lobster bisque. The main course features incredibly tender meat that falls right off the bone. The crème brûlée is excellent, though the crepe is a bit heavy on the syrup. To top it off, they serve some of the best, most elegant cocktails around.

The food here was immaculate! The waiter was very attentive and kept our water full. The ambiance is very welcoming and peaceful. The French onion soup was the best I’ve ever had! The crème brûlée was on point!

There are four**elite** French-style, neighborhood restaurants within about four miles of each other in Hillcrest/North Park. This is one of them. Absolutely worth a special visit or a longer evening walk from the busier parts of town. Truly excellent spot for a quiet date, also a great patio for a group of four or six.

We came here for San Diego Restaurant Week, and was glad we got to try a new place that was decent! The food was good. The steak was cooked perfectly. The duck confit was tender. The Crepes Suzette was interesting at first but ended up liking it. It's a tiny restaurant with only 20 seats inside. It's a very intimate setting. We didn't get to try too much of the wine because we went on a Monday and had work the next day. Maybe next time!

Very nice and classic French restaurant! It surprises us because it’s pretty tiny indoors with only 8 tables and several bar seats. But you don’t feel crowded and it’s very cozy. The foods here are very delicious. We ordered French Onion Soup and Escargot for appetizers, Duck Confit for Entree and Bread & Butter as a side. All of the foods are very good, I recommend them all. The cocktails are very nice as well. My husband had two glasses of French 75 and I had a Kir Royal, both are great.

La Bonne Table in Hillcrest is a delightful culinary escape to the heart of France. Our dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary. The Soupe À L'oignon was a comforting start, the classic French onion soup with croutons and melted gruyere was rich and flavorful. Les Escargot, served with sizzling garlic butter and parsley, was a delicious and aromatic delight. The Steak Et Frites, featuring hanger steak with hand-cut fries and peppercorn sauce, showcased the perfect balance of tenderness and bold flavors. The Moules Marinieres, steaming Carlsbad mussels in a broth of garlic, shallots, and white wine served with fries, was a seafood lover's dream. To cap off the culinary journey, we indulged in the Crème Brûlée – a decadent and perfectly caramelized dessert. The attentive service enhanced the overall experience, making it an ideal choice for a romantic date night. La Bonne Table is a true gem in Hillcrest, offering an intimate ambiance, delectable French cuisine, and impeccable service. It's a must-visit for those seeking an authentic taste of France in the heart of San Diego.

My husband brought me here for our anniversary and it was one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. Simple, comfortable environment, Lovely employees and downright incredible food. I had sick for the first time and I don't believe I will ever be able to top it. My husband said his steak was the best one he's had in over a decade in San Diego. The only downside was the escargot was so fresh and hot that I had to wait to get another bite. I can't wait to go back

It's such a delight to return again & again! A tiny corner that brings the French arrondissements cuisine to S.D. La Bonne Table is well-known for their consistency and French authenticity. A delight with a true representation of traditional dishes. I love that its vibe lets you come as you are; fancy or buz-casual, but the no rush personal & intimate space let you feel like you're personally attended to.
