ONE65 San Francisco

"ONE65 is nearly as multi-layered as a croissant at its ground-floor patisserie. Above that is a bistro level, serving French-inspired California cuisine, and above that is a swanky cocktail lounge, called Elements. Another floor up is a fine-dining prix-fixe restaurant with French cheese carts and modern twists called O’ by Claude Le Tohic. Le Tohic, who partnered on the project with the team behind Alexander’s Steakhouse, previously won a James Beard Award for his work at Joel Robuchon in Las Vegas." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff

"One65 is an ambitious, multi-leveled emporium all dedicated to French food. The patisserie is on the first floor, and colorful macarons, cakes, and croissants are offered. Chef Clément Goyffon hails from L’Ambroisie in Paris, and he makes a standout imperial cake with a praline base and a dark chocolate caramel mousse." - Dianne de Guzman, Becky Duffett

"The swanky new bar level lounge at ONE65 serves a suite of high-quality cocktails with New Orleans influences, including a can’t-miss large format Bird in the Hand: It’s a Paloma-style drink with Espolòn blanco tequila, Campari, grapefruit, honey, and absinthe. Thanks to its serving vessel, an Absinthe fountain, it looks as good as it tastes: Grab a spigot and start pouring." - Jay C. Barmann

"A Multi-story Bastion for French food in Union Square. Located on the ground level, ONE65 Patisserie & Boutique is a contemporary French grand patisserie. The Patisserie offers modern casual dining and take-away, with convenient breakfast, lunch and dinner options. The menu features an extensive range of house-made delights, including delectable, freshly baked French pastries, breads, ice cream, macarons and chocolates, along with barista service and a selection of wines and beer."

"The six-story French complex One65 (165 O’Farrell Street) is a collaboration between James Beard Award-winning chef Claude Le Tohic and Alexander’s Steakhouse, and sports a ground floor patisserie, a bistro (One65 Bistro & Grill), a bar and lounge (Elements), and a fine-dining spot (O’)." - Eve Batey
