The French onion soup is better than the cold lobster and crab crème fraiche, which tasted fishy. The pork shank and steak fries were both great. Hazelnut chocolate cake was rich in flavor. Crème brûlée was good, but the sugar topping was thick and the custard lacked real vanilla bean flecks.

Easily one of the best meals I’ve ever had in San Diego. First off, the service was impeccable. Great recommendations by our server and attentive service from the entire staff as far as making sure that our water or iced teas or wines were topped off. The pate was delicious, but the snails were out of this world great. I would eat 47,000 of those escargots. The pork chop may have been the best pork chop that I’ve ever eaten in a restaurant in the last 20 years. The duck was really good, but definitely to me was second to the pork chop. The french fries were delicious as were the potatoes au gratin. Lastly, the crème brûlée was on point. But if you go, you have to get the escargot. If not, I will show up at your table and order it and eat it in front of you.

It was my first real french cuisine experience. They only have a few tables, so the vibe feels so cozy. Good for a special occasion, and their food is phenomenal. I ordered pork chop by their recommendation, and we thought pork chop would be weird in a french restaurant. But their pork chop was the best pork chop I have ever had in my life. The mushroom sauce is insanely flavorful. Escargot was very good and buttery, and their duck dish was also great. Also have their creme brûlée!

I enjoyed a wonderful early dinner here at La Bonne Table during a business trip.
The easily accessible restaurant reminded me of home cooking and I waxed nostalgic for the quaint house restaurant combination of Jean’s in Colton, CA. The elements for the nostalgia were all present: well made classic recipes, friendly and accommodating service, and a clean and quaint ambiance. The weather and outdoor seating made La Bonne Table a better dining option. Also, Jean’s closed when Jean passed away in his 80s. A true American immigrant success story.
PROS:
The deliciously decadent homestyle portions of homemade pate, tart cornichons, and sour mustard smeared across freshly warmed crusty baguette. The piping hot cassoulet with duck confit, talousse sausage, garlic sausage, and thick cut bacon with white beans filled me with beautiful memories from my 20s at Jean’s and became a part of small Francophile gastronomic community in the Inland Empire. It tasted like home. Everything homemade and tasty. Dining next to me were old friends celebrating their birthdays, a family enjoying a reunion dinner, a couple on a date, and friends taking a meal on the terrace. The friendly and attentive servers worked as a team to help me feel welcomed in their home. The prices were extremely reasonable. I highly recommend.
CONS:
The only con is the local neighborhood being so close to the restaurant. It worked great until some random car alarm disrupted the quiet of the sonic landscape for over 15 to 20 minutes. People came in soliciiting or something. The restaurant staff did all they could to accommodate.

If you’re in the mood for a cozy spot, this French restaurant is a winner! The duck confit is crispy and tender, the mussels are incredible, and the dessert—just perfect. Plus, the service is super friendly and makes you feel like family. Definitely worth a visit!

Went here for Restaurant Week. Both our main dishes were perfect, as were the apps and desserts. Steak was cooked perfectly, the duck confit was perfectly crispy and savory, and the atmosphere was just as you’ll find in any small spot in Paris. Highly recommend!

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.

I’m shocked that this place has a 4.8 star rating. This is my first time at a mediocre 4.8 star restaurant. Makes me wonder if the owner has found a way to fix the reviews.
I ordered the escargot, the duck, and the crème brûlée. The escargot was tiny, smallest I’ve ever had. Each snail was less than a bite. So it wasn’t satisfying at all. The puff pastry covering each snail was novel, but didn’t compensate for the teeny size.
The duck was dry and the mustard sauce accompanying it was bland. The duck skin was nicely crisp (the highlight of the dish) but the brussel sprouts were bland and uninteresting.
The crème brûlée was the best part of the meal. The berries were sweet and pleasant. The top of the brûlée was crisp. But the custard wasn’t rich. It almost tasted like a “lite” dessert although I’m sure it wasn’t.
The service was excellent as one might expect at a $100+ restaurant.
The dining room was almost as small as the escargot. 10 small tables were jammed in the tiny space. The decor was extremely uninteresting. Small black and white photos in boring frames unapologetically plastered the walls. I tried finding something interesting to look at, with no luck.
I will not be back. There are too many other good restaurants in San Diego to waste one’s time and money here.
