Wow, the prices were extremely reasonable for the quality! Both
of us came out of there, licking our chops and only $65 poorer (without
wine). The pork tenderloin dish was simply divine! My husband
ordered the steak - the promme frites (a.k.a. french fries) were
the best I have ever had. Their drinks, however, at are quite strange
. . . my lemonade tasted like pure lemons without sugar. Too sour
for my personal taste. My husband's martini was way too strong.
The desserts, on the other hand, were out of this world. I liked
the creme brulee, but the warm chocolate garmoud was something
else! We will definitely come back here again - very right for
the price. The place is cute, but very crowded. Reservations
highly recommended.

My favorite French restaurant in the Bay Area for the price. The
food is outstanding, and the deserts are out of this world: the
best creme brulee I've had this side of the Atlantic. Depending
on who waits on your table, the service ranges from average to
very good. The restaurant is a little cramped, but that's also
part of the charm of a French bistro. Reservations can be hard
to
come by, especially on a weekend, but I've sometimes gotten late
seating (10pm) at the last minute.

A great place for a not-so-casual-dining experience. Good meats
like lamb and duck and excellent wine. Good for dates.

This is a great resturant. Food is great. The deserts are Incredible.
There are wide varieties to choose from. The service was
good too. The only problem is the tables are too close.

great value for the money. you get surprised by the time you get
inside as compare to what you might have expected from looking
at the place from outside as it's located not at most upscale neighborhood.
food is great and service is good. as I said, you get most for your
money. I pick this place one of the best place in S.F for what you
get for your money spent

The restuarant was a bit crowded and the tables were a bit
too close but the food made it all worthwhile

Heaven. I eat here about once every three months and have never been disappointed.
Reservations have always been honored when we arrive. Service has always
been perfect, an excellent blend of professional style with just the right
amount of friendly interaction. The food is wonderful (the pork dish with
apples is to die for). The wine list diverse, with great values in the $20-30
range and excellent selections if you want to spend more. Ok, you might find
somewhat better food at other places, BUT WHAT MAKES THIS PLACE MOST SPECIAL
IS VALUE! A dinner of the quality one would expect and receive in Paris for
less than it would cost in Paris. One bonus: it's two blocks from the Caltrain
station, so if you live on the Peninsula you can take a train to the restaurant,
have a nice meal, and not worry about parking or driving. All the more Parisian.

well this is from a posting to ba.food some time back:
a little more on Fringale: i had pretty high expectations and had just
come off a spectacular prix fixe at The Heights so i was a little disappointed.
all of my co-diners were satisfied and the desserts were quite nice. there were
a couple of dishes i'd heard about and would have like to try but they didnt
seem to be on the menu. service was ok ... i think the wait people might have
just figured my somewhat animated group just wanted to be left alone. everyone
ate [and drank] to quite a satied point for about $45/person with tax && tip.
while i'd probably go back, i think i'd rather spend 25% more if that would
push us from "very good" up to "sublime".
i will add: i join with Sharmila Ravi above in being a little
suprised at reputation and resultant reservation lead time for
this place. i didnt think the staff was pretentious or anything
like that. it was quite clear from the answering machine message
i was left confirming my ...
