I was surprised how well balanced the food was. Great earthy notes minus the acidic under tones. The desserts were well done - the tart was especially well prepared and the freshness rang through. The stand French dessert was very well excited and not overly flavored, very subtle crème! Yummy!

Very good French food! You can have escargots and some of the typical French plates. I went three times for a diner and every times we enjoyed it.

I think it was one of the best decision we've ever made! This place was awesome. Foods were very delicious, portion sizes were good, staff were helpful. Especially chef/owner Philippe was very friendly! I strongly suggest to everyone to go there. Specifically you should try cassoulet. Thank you so much for this great experience.

In fact, it was before my Yelpin' days. I remember the delicious French cuisine here and prix fixed menu offerings. I was looking forward to finally be back here as my friend was having his birthday dinner celebration on a recent Friday evening. In a gray colored store front, Chapeau has no signs in front and is only identified by its name on the front window. For those in the party that drove, they had no problems finding parking on the block. Our table for eleven was along the back left. Our host invited us to order the prix fixe menu, which they now have only one option. The prix fixe has seven appetizers and five entrée and dessert choices. Our waiter took our drink orders as we decided on our appetizer, entree and dessert choices. We were brought baskets of warm house rolls and butter to start. Rustic and tasty. For my appetizer, I had the Trio of Salmon. A beautifully presented dish with salmon tartare, roe and some greens that were in the middle of gravlax. Surrounding it were crème fraiche and egg crumbles. I raw salmon and this was delicious. Several of my friends had the Salade Landaise which had frisee, duck confit, smoked breast, and chicken liver mousse and were saying they would get it again hands-down.The Pork Tenderloin was my entrée. The pork was cooked perfectly pink and wrapped with bacon and it was on a bed of parsnip puree with shredded brussels sprouts in an apple calvados sauce. So much flavors in this dish. Delicious.Profiteroles - three puffs filled with vanilla bean ice cream covered in chocolate and almond slices. It was good. Our waiter was friendly and answered our questions about the menu items. Busboy were efficient in clearing dishes and bring extra bread and refilling water carafes. Chapeau was as good as it was when I was here years ago. Check out Chapeau for a delicious French meal. A gem in the Inner Richmond.

For hosting a nice birthday dinner for our party of eleven on a recent Friday night. I arrived at 5:55 pm for a 6 pm reservation and was seated at a table on the rear left wall. I sat on the cushioned bench seating area and studied the drink menu before ordering this: Cosmopolitan (<a href="https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=7H8d5HreRg4G3sKvoT2csw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q">yelp.com/user_local_phot…</a>). It was light and lemony which was perfect on this muggy overcast late afternoon. My friends arrived a few minutes later and we took our dining seats for the meal.There are three main sections to the menu and besides an offering of raw oysters at the top of the page. The menu has ala carte prices with a heading that a three-course meal is $68.00. Being Asian, I immediately did the math and chose that option.I started with the soupe a l'oignon (<a href="https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=zFJmxZh-A2UEVy02daJpMA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q">yelp.com/user_local_phot…</a>); I was impressed as it was served piping (burn the roof your mouth) hot. I enjoyed this better than my work neighborhood spot that used to hold the title of favorite place for French onion soup in the City (bread there was on the greasy side). For my main, I had the pork tenderloin (<a href="https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=3rBkcczRUqxogWS2J03y4A&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q">yelp.com/user_local_phot…</a>), served with bacon, parsnip puree, brussels sprouts, and apple calvados sauce. I was a little surprised that it was served a tad more rare than medium being it was pork but it was tender and still juicy and happy no after effects later. For dessert, I chose the French toast (<a href="https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=xx3VgIyMuWbzaeg5rpVy-A&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q">yelp.com/user_local_phot…</a>), a signature dish according to my dining companions; this was paired with a hazelnut creme anglaise and salted caramel ice cream. I was disappointed in this one as the bread portion seemed on the dry and stale side but the accompaniments did pair well with it. I normally do not speak about the bread service but the one here is noteworthy since it's still complimentary, unlike many other new restaurants in SF, and they are addictively good. It was warm and had a cheesy aftertaste that was a nice surprise.Service was excellent as the sommelier/hostess helped us with group photos and presenting the birthday dessert as well as leading our birthday tune. It was nice of the chef to stop by to greet us as well as bid us adieu as we exited the restaurant. Thanks also to our generous hosts for this celebration. Take a bow and I tip my chapeau to you for a wonderful evening.

It's low key, affordable for what you get, and the food is almost always delicious.I like the filet mignon, salmon trio, and duck salad.Sometimes the duck salad is way overdressed (and soggy) and the sauces can be a bit too salty.However, I love the ambiance and how lively it is. The food is great and the owner is really nice!

Best French restaurant in San Francisco- An authentic, sophisticated French restaurant with absolutely savory and delicious food. Pictured are the dishes we had the Friese was seasoned wonderfully and the Trio of Salmon was the best salmon tartare I have ever had- it included gravlax and salmon roes along with roasted capers, egg crumbles and cream fraiche. Plat Principal: Toulouse style cassoulet with duck confit and mushroom risotto, both were fantastic and cooked to perfection. Dessert: We both had the profiteroles, easily one of the tastiest desserts I have ever had, perfectly executed, not overly sweet, highly satisfying.

Chapeau was a great restaurant with friendly staff and amazing food. It started out fantastic, host was very friendly and engaging. Bartendar was busy, but took the time to explain the drink specials. Servers were taking multiple tables and working as a team. I like that strategy, but we did get greeted twice. First time for drinks, second time for drinks and more of an explanation of the menu. It was a bit of a confusion and lack of organization from my point of view. The food was delicious, recommend the trio of salmon, very good! The filet was cooked medium rare and perfect. The Duck confit was good. I would recommend doing the prefix menu, good opportunity to taste the menu. Also, dessert was fine, it was nothing to brag about.
