From OpenTable: 

La Folie is a French restaurant located in Russian Hill of San Francisco. Chef Roland Passot, with his wife Jamie opened La Folie in March of 1988. He combines the freshest ingredients in exotic combinations. Each plate leaves the kitchen resembling art-a canvas of color and design that tastes even better than it looks. La Folie continues to be rated as one of the top restaurants, receiving a star from the Michelin Guide, 4 stars from the San Francisco Chronicle and 4 stars from San Francisco Magazine. In celebration of 21 years, The Passots have expanded their bar into a lounge located next door, perfect for before or after dinner drinks.

Generous Portions

Came here for a weekend dining trip with a friend. From all the reviews I read of this restaurant on yelp I had expected it to be tasty and great service and that’s exactly what my experience was too.

When we arrived to the restaurant we were greeted by the hostess and a couple servers then brought to the back side of the restaurant where it was more brightly lit with the large skylight windows which made the experience even better. What I liked about this room was that the early dishes were lighter and brighter like the sky and as we dine into the heavier and darker dishes the lighting in the room got darker as well, was a great transition overall.

The server was very attentive and explained each dish and each wine pairing well. He was very down to earth and very easy to talk to. He made you feel right at home.

From the menu there was a choice of the summer tasting, 3 course, 4 course or 5 course. Also the choice of doing 2 plates of the same course apart from the meat/poultry section or even do 5 courses of desserts if you’d like as what the server explained to us on the menu.

Both my friend and I chose the 5 course menu, which ended up being way too much food for what we could handle. The portions are surprisingly generous! The foie gras was 6 ounces and so was the beef tenderloin. The chocolate souffle was very rich and creamy as expected. In my choice of dishes also included the duck egg which was fried on the outside with runny yolk inside which was great combo along with the next dish which was a lobster gnocci. Of the 5 plates, my favorite has got to be the foie gras! Large piece, very buttery tender, the side pairings gave out the flavor that much more.

La Folie is a great French restaurant. Our server was very attentive throughout the evening and did a great job of explaining our food and helping with the wine selection. Oh and the food was great too. I haven’t been back to La Folie in about 2 years now, but I would definitely check out the restaurant again.

The fantastic food

The fantastic food, or the fantastic service - those are perfection. Let's talk about the food. Have you ever had such a perfect pairing? Their tasting menus can also be paired with wines by the glass that change at each course. Oh what…
