My boyfriend and I dined here for Valentine’s Day and had an exceptional experience from start to finish. Despite the restaurant being at full capacity, we were seated promptly at the time of our reservation with virtually no wait. Upon being seated, we were warmly welcomed by the owner and an attentive, genuinely gracious staff, which immediately set a positive tone for the evening. The menu struck an impressive balance between innovation and approachability, pairing flavors in unexpected yet thoughtfully composed ways that felt both creative and refined. Each dish reflected intention and precision. The cocktails were equally impressive. Overall, it was a seamless and elevated dining experience that felt both special and effortlessly executed. We definitely will be back!

Everything we ordered was soooooo delicious. Also amazing customer service. I got the sweet bread entree and it was beyond delicious. The owner of the restaurant told us the story of how they make the sweet bread and it was so interesting! He also gave our table a free dessert. I would definitely come back here again.

I came in with high expectations, but the experience left me extremely disappointed.
First of all, be mindful about the TRAPS IN PRICE : if you order a 3 course and add an extra entrée or appetizer, they charge whichever item is more expensive as the “extra.” And seeing a 5% SF mandate fee at checkout — with no prior mention — was infuriating.
The kitchen completely ruined the meal — even after clearly stating that I cannot eat raw food and confirming I needed my filet mignon well-done, it still arrived medium-rare （not even a medium!). The highly recommended cassoulet was also so salty that no one could finish it.
The only good part was the service, the servers were kind and attentive even during rush hours. But great service can’t cover up for serious kitchen mistakes and the unreasonable charges.

Chapeau is a nice French restaurant in SF with amazing food and great service. Staff was kind and very attentive on this busy night. We started with Pate En Croute, Beet Salad and Salmon Trio Tartar. Very well prepared and tasty. For the main course, Cassoulet, Branzino, and the Duck Breast which was outstanding. Washed it all down with a bottle of Pommard Rebourgeon. Too stuffed for dessert. Reservations are a must.

Outstanding experience from start to finish. Both the filet and the cassoulet were perfectly prepared—rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The relaxed atmosphere made for an unhurried meal, and the staff was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend and looking forward to returning soon.

Second time at Chapeau, and it’s always such a great experience! I celebrated my birthday here with friends and had a larger party of 10, which they happily accommodated (so appreciative & I reached out 1.5 months in advance).
Chef Philippe brings such fun energy, and I really appreciated that he checks in on guests personally. The dishes were both delicious and beautifully plated, and the team was attentive throughout.
Standouts: soupe à l’oignon, filet mignon, mussels, crème brûlée

We had an awesome dinner at Chapeau! — classic French comfort food done really well, with a warm, cozy vibe and great service.
We ordered the French onion soup, mesclun salad, filet mignon, and cassoulet, and everything hit. The onion soup was rich and deeply flavorful, the salad was fresh and nicely balanced, and both mains were excellent — the filet was tender and perfectly cooked, and the cassoulet was hearty, savory, and exactly what you want on a chilly SF night. We finished with the crème brûlée, which was spot-on with that perfect crackly top.
The $75 prix fixe menu is a fantastic deal for the quality and portion size. Also worth calling out: the cocktails are great — the Bijou was a standout.
Highly recommend for date night or a special dinner that still feels relaxed and neighborhood-friendly.

More than delicious bistro food, what made Chapeau! A French Bistro truly special was the stellar service and hospitality. Run by a French expat family, they know their way around a stick of butter and how to make their guests feel welcome and special. Plus, we were a group of six with as many wine bottles and stems, in a tiny dining room. I would love to do another wine dinner there again soon. #thefoodietraveler

Wow, such a nice surprise and a good place for a French experience. The dinner started with a very nice welcoming from the boss, the dishes were fantastic, especially the paté en croûte, one of the best I ever had. We spent a wonderful evening
