Le Colonial Restaurant Review

Le Colonial is a San Francisco miracle: an airy colonial mansion tucked into an alleyway, miles from the downtown bustle just outside its doors. It still boasts much of the grandeur of Trader Vic's, the famed restaurant that occupied the location for decades. Décor, from the long outdoor patio that leads to the cavernous dining room to the upstairs bar and veranda, evokes the exotic civility of...

The scene is high-style (and high-priced) Vietnamese food served up in a French-colonial time machine: stamped-tin ceiling, period photographs, slow-moving fans, and tropical plants. Local society types who can't be bothered with dining in Little Saigon in the Tenderloin come for the sea bass steamed in banana leaves, green papaya salad, and lamb chops with grilled eggplant salad. Pick from...

Viet-chic environs and quality French Vietnamese food make this an excellent choice for folks who want to nosh at one of the sexiest restaurants in town. Picture slowly spinning ceiling fans, tropical plants, rattan furniture, and French colonial decor. The upstairs lounge (which opens at 4:30pm) is where romance reigns, with cozy couches, seductive surroundings, and a well-dressed cocktail...

Lazy ceiling fans, bamboo birdcages, rattan furniture, palms waving softly in the breeze … sigh. Sexy Indochine/French Colonial atmosphere marred by Banana Republic–clad singles sucking down after-work cocktails while searching for a soulmate. Skip the main menu and order Vietnamese spring rolls and coconut-crusted crab cakes from the lounge. Save room for the chocolate and peanut butter spring...

This restaurant is a consistent favorite for out of town visitors. Food, drinks and service are always top notch. When making a reservation, if you want a quiet table, call in advance.

This is a magnificent restaurant with 5 star service without the 5-star prices. The food is superb. The restaurant is tucked in an alley and hard to find. But, it is worth finding! There is valet parking so if you drive and think there is...

We happened to find Le Colonial listed as one of San Fran’s top 10 Vietnamese restaurants so decided to try it. Luckily it wasn’t horribly busy and we were able to get in.
We started with the Appetizer Platter for two and shared it between...

The charming ambiance of this beautiful restaurant will immediately capture your imagination and set the stage for a wonderful meal. My husband and I first went upstairs and sat outside on the veranda for a cocktail. Very interesting combinations of fresh and unusual ingredients makes...

My family of 4 (2 teen sons) finally got to cross this off our "list of places to eat". We shared pho, crispy crab rolls & ahi for appetizers. All amazing (though the crab rolls I think were deemed the winner) For dinner the filet...

Le Colonial, just minutes away from popular Union Square in San Francisco

Romantic Dining: If you believe the steamy, mysterious atmosphere 1920s French Vietnam is romantic, then Le Colonial is the place for you. Patchwork tile floors, shuttered windows, antique lamps and rattan furniture set among palm fronds and lazily swirling ceiling fans all work in harmony to create an elegant, sultry mood where romance can bloom.
