Bistro Jeanty is lovely and the food could not be better. Our waitstaff was courteous and prompt and only the manager's rudeness and irritation at our large group marred the experience. We arranged lunch for a visiting VIP at Bistro Jeanty because of it's superb reputation and location uniquely suited to a day of wine tasting. When our group arrived early for our lunch reservation the manager was openly rude and refused to seat us even 5 minutes early despite the hostess's attempts to accomodate us. Lunch was impeccable once we were seated but first impressions go a long way. If you are looking for a restaurant to impress out of town guests as part of a group, sadly Bistro Jeanty may leave a sour taste despite some of the best food and service in the Bay Area.
Pros: ambiance, excellent food, location
Cons: rude to groups, poor first impression, not accomodating
