Dining room at Left Bank, Menlo Park, CA

If it's possible, this branch of Roland Passot's venue for grand-mère's cuisine is even better than the original in Larkspur. It has an open kitchen and high ceilings so when it's busy, the noise level can soar. Many favorite bistro dishes are here: mussels steamed in wine (great with crispy shoestring potatoes), rotisserie chicken, bouillabaisse, salmon and scallop quenelles, grilled salmon with a tapenade crust and a lovely crisp duck from the spit with oranges and rice. Don't leave without sampling the warm tarte Tatin with vanilla ice cream or the lemon tart with raspberry coulis. Also located at 60 Crescent Dr., Pleasant Hill, 925-288-1222; and 507 Magnolia Ave., Larkspur, 415-927-3331.
