Chez Maman East

I came here to celebrate my birthday with my families and friends and i enjoyed my time being here

Food: I order for Chicken fried steak and my family ordered for Chicken panini and some of my friends ordered for Smoked Salmon crepe

Service: Their service was extraordinary! I cant believe what i saw, Their waiter were very fast in attending to customers

Ambiance: I felt good with all of the way they were attending to us and The atmosphere of their restaurant is so cool

Came here to celebrate the day before Bastille day and had a great time!
Food: I ordered the Smoked Salmon Panini, which came with crème fraiche, capers, & caramelized onions, and a side salad. The salad was slightly salty, but it felt refreshing on a warm day. The panini bread itself was well-balanced with a crispy exterior and soft center, and the salmon/onion filling was delicious. I also sampled the Merguez (spicy lamb sausage) and melted brie panini, and I would absolutely return to order that. The Brie is delightfully gooey and generously portioned. The lamb sausage is packed with flavor, and not overly spicy.

For drink, I ordered the Kir Royal Aperitif, which consists of Champagne & Crème de Cassis. A light and subtle blackcurrant flavor, I felt this complemented the flavor of the panini & salad.

Service: Kind and prompt.
Ambiance: We sat at the outside seating, which offers a stunning view of downtown. It was beautiful, but be aware that if it is a hot day, there is no breeze in the outdoor tent seating. It's a cute area to walk around, Street parking only.

It was my first time at Chez Maman yesterday. We came around 1pm, and we had the choice of either indoor or outdoor seating. We chose to sit inside.

I ordered the chicken panini, and my bf ordered the smoked salmon crepe. We also ordered a side of french fries. I liked the panini. The bread was crispy, and the pistou and aioli were really good. The flavors blended well together. The panini came with salad and there was a good amount of it.

The fries were decent. They came with aioli, which I thought was very garlicky. I switched between dipping my fries in the aioli and ketchup but found myself preferring the ketchup more.

Staff was attentive and quick.

We happened to be in the area and decided to try this lovely bistro instead of our usual visit to Plow across the street. Seemingly, regulars dine here as the wait staff recognized the customers next to us.

The menu has a variety of items I wanted to try but for lunch, we ordered the Angus burger with Swiss cheese which came with good fries and a wonderful garlic aioli. I tried the buckwheat mushroom crepe.
I loved the sauce with mushrooms but not so much the buckwheat crepe which was a bit heavy compared to regular flour crepes.

The entree menu looked good too and I'd definitely return for another meal when in the area. Our waitress was very pleasant and friendly. There's a parklet outside for dining out.

Top notch French restaurant in SF. Came here with a group and got to try several dishes on the menu. Our favorites were the les moulette (mussels) with mariniér broth and the mushroom crepe. Recommend getting the baguette to dip in the broth. And for any mousse fans the chocolate mousse is terrific. The filling in the mushroom crepe is very rich in flavor.

On Friday nights I recommend coming early as it gets busy. Service is generally good, but unfortunately the servers do try to rush you a bit from the time you sit down to the time you pay. Don't expect a long casual European style dining experience outside of the food itself.

One of our favorite restaurants in San Francisco and our go to place to take out of towners and to celebrate special occasions.
Mouth watering food and a delightful staff providing top quality service.

Another delicious dinner at Chez Maman East!

We sat inside on the bar stools facing the exterior windows where we shared different dishes family style.

We started with the Acme bread which we used to dip into the garlic, white wine, lemon and parsley-laden broth for the tender marinere mussels. The French fries with aioli were also excellent.

We also enjoyed the Caesar salad with anchovies and only wish it had a little extra dressing. Our group shared entrées of a complete crêpe which included ham, plenty of Swiss cheese and topped with a nicely cooked sunny side up egg and lightly dressed arugula, as well as a delicious roasted duck confit topped with a rich gravy and accompanied by crispy green beans and creamy potato au gratin. We also added some roasted brussels sprouts and apples that complemented the rest of the meal too.

We wish that we had had room for dessert, but will save that for our next visit!

My boyfriend and I walked in at around 6:30 pm and were seated immediately. There were covered and uncovered outdoor seating and indoor as well. There are heaters for outside seating! The restaurant was cute and looked like a french street cafe. Our waiters were nice and friendly, and service was smooth. Parking is street.

We ordered a french onion soup ($13), savoyarde crepes ($14), and roasted duck confit ($33). Soup was great and classic, everything you'd want in a french onion. The crepes were a little disappointing and pretty heavy. I didn't really enjoy the buckwheat batter since it was much denser; I would have preferred white batter. The crepe was filled with potatoes, prosciutto, and cheese then topped with arugula. The potatoes were a little under for me, but the rest were nice. The duck confit blew us away. The duck was perfectly roasted and so tender. The wine sauce was incredible that I would drink it lol, so much flavor and seasoned just right. The potatoes gratin was delicious with its flaky, cheesy layers and crispy top. Greens beans were fine, nice and simple.

Overall, we really enjoyed Chef Maman and will definitely be back. There were so many dishes we wanted to try, like their burger and veal. Everyone needs to try their duck!!

Excellent French food, good service, can be noisy but that's all good. You won't be disappointed in anything you order.

Food was very good .. authentic French style! Choice of sitting inside our outside which we did.
Service for that time ..eh.. our waiter seemed distracted and forgot my wine even through he had corrected me on the pronunciation when I ordered it! Then I felt like he was constantly checking out the table & taking something to move us on for the next guests waiting. Besides that yes we will go back as the food is worth it!
