- AAdamSan Francisco Bay Area •9 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe really enjoyed our meal at Chez Noir. The staff was excellent. They took our coats upon arrival and were great about checking in on us. They gave us some great information about the dishes to help guidance our decisions. The cocktails and food were excellent, with the exception of the fish dish. The fish missed the mark. This was disappointing, considering the cost of the meal and the fact that it's a main course. Everything else was excellent. We loved the additional touches, like the light "snack" they gave us before our meal, the chocolate chip cookies we received before leaving, as well as Caneles right after our meal.More infoChez Noir$$$$• French• Carmel•4.8
- LLiaSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined on Nov 1, 2026Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere. The service was excellent. We had our two dogs with us and they traded them like guests as well. The drinks were absolutely phenomenal. My husband had a few 😊. Highly recommend and will be back as the sanctuary beach resort is one of our favorite places.More infoSalt Wood Kitchen and Oysterette$$$$• American• Marina•4.5
