We ordered the soap together with four different starters and it shocked us a lot: one of the best food resturant in the seal beach ⛱️. Sure I will visit it next time

Cute eatery. Food was good. I tried the escargot, they were delicious.

Found when I didn't want to wait for La Crema down the street, completely loved it. Great atmosphere with bar inside, we sat by the open window. A great view by the open window, the meal was loved by all, ages 9 to 92. With a wide selection of wine, it did not surprise me to see a couple seated with plate and a bottle 🧀🍷 I also noticed the outside tables, on a beautiful California Sunday, were popular with the first to be seated. The waiter was fantastic and I am kicking myself for forgetting his name.

This place is amazing. Top notch French gourmet food and service. Can’t beat the happy hour too. We can’t wait to come back. 🥂

Our go to spot in Seal Beach for good food, service, and atmosphere. Never disappointed, whatever we choose, but particular faves are the Ribeye plate and beef bourguignon, plus sides of brussel sprouts, baguette and tapenade. Waiter recommended wines are always spot on. Love the attached market too.

We enjoyed our meal here. We enjoyed a special that included an appetizer, entre, dessert and a glass of wine. All very good. Will definitely visit again. Service was excellent. Definitely recommend a visit. Located in Seal Beach.

What a vibe this cute place has! If you're looking for a chill spot filled with french inspired cuisine and great customer service, then this place is for you! I enjoyed a glass of wine that did not disappoint on the serving size, 🍷😉!! Their charcuterie board paired with their baguette was fire! The spread was amazing and they supplied more bread when we ran out, no extra charge. Really enjoyed the music and the whole ambiance of the place. Take a stop by, don't think you'll be disappointed. Oh! And if you like brussel sprouts and bacon, you definitely gotta try them!!! 👩‍🍳💋

Our waitress, Raketa, was so friendly. We got a bottle of wine and a few appetizers and we spent probably a couple of hours talking. She checked in with us periodically.

Love it! Great French Bistro by the ocean. Incredible food and very friendly service with lots of attention.

I had always assumed this bistro was pretentious but nothing could be further from the truth. Our intended restaurant closed early so we walked across the street to Bistro St. Germain. Even though it was due to close in ten minutes, they seated us and allowed us to order a lunch special in the evening. So kind and friendly, we love the service here but come for the food which is French and Italian made properly. This is now our favorite evening restaurant in Seal Beach. The lasagna and the chicken sandwich are the best so far, but there are many other interesting items on the menu we have not tried yet. The standard of cuisine on Main Street is very high with The Crema and Beachwood BBQ among others, but this bistro can hold its own here. Even during the COVID-19 crisis they have plenty of outside seating so you can be socially responsible while enjoying wonderful food and service. Considering we are only two blocks from the beach, the prices are very reasonable.

We stumbled upon this fantastic bistro by chance after unsuccessfully trying to get a table at a restaurant in the Marina—and we’re so glad we did! Who would have expected to find such an authentic French bistro in Seal Beach of all places? The food was excellent. We sampled several appetizers, and each one was full of flavor and unmistakably French. They also offer a few Italian options, adding variety without losing their French essence. The flavors were rich and satisfying, and the service was warm and attentive throughout. The restaurant itself is discreet and relatively quiet, with a modest, unassuming atmosphere. But don’t let that fool you—this place delivers the real deal when it comes to French cuisine, which is rare to find. A true hidden gem!

Good local vibe for a French based restaurant and hangout. The next door attached "general store" and wine cellar was a nice touch to add the ambience of the establishment. The Happy Hour was extended to 9pm for whatever reason and that was nice. Parking was ok as it is on Main street. The servers and food was good. We had the hamburger ( with a fried egg add on) and onion soup. Also the Brussels sprouts were great. The onion soup was tastey.

Nice little place, cozy, supper friendly staff. Great selection of wine. The foods was good, the Mahi poke a bit salty and would be better if the sauce lighter. Definitely will return.

Easily a 5 star restaurant. The food looked great and it was hot, it was delicious! Unique flavors. The hospitality was much much colder. Server didn't seemed too thrilled we were there. In our almost one hour visit she stopped 3 times. Take the order, bring the order and asked one time if everything was ok. The place is a little dirty and could use some detail cleaning. Maybe some adjusting on the soda ratio since mine was very watered down. Might come back on another time. Maybe things changed because the couple whom I assume are the owners had just left.

We were greeted by a person who after telling us that we could not sit at a table we requested if we did not like it we could leave and go somewhere else. I asked if were the manager and he said yes, We did go somewhere else and I will NEVER recommend this place. They do not have any training for dealing with people. I was extremely upset to be told that I can go somewhere else. We were treated were poorly and others need to know about the lack of manners they have as they call a FRENCH CUISINE Its Laughable......!!!!!!!!!!!
