Jeanne D'Arc - Cornell Hotel De France
Jeanne D'Arc is an elegant yet reasonably priced French restaurant located near Nob Hill and Union Square in the Cornell Hotel de France. Replete with tapestries, stained glass and artifacts, the decor celebrates the life and deeds of France's legendary heroine, Joan of Arc.
Founded by the Lambert family in 1972, the restaurant is a favorite of locals and visitors. Jeanne D'Arc offers a prix fixe menu and a cellar of well chosen California and Frence wines. The restaurant is perfect for before-curtain supper, a gathering of good friends, or romance with conversation.

"I've been going to this restaurant since the late 70's and it never fails to impress. Terrific French food, and a very romantic ambiance. A great place to take a date. While this time it was just my wife and I, next time we will be bringing our college student children for them to experience this wonderful place."

"Great souffles, I could easily have another helping, love it. The overall food was very good too, can't beat the price of $42 for a 4 course great meal. A hidden gem."

"Service was off a step or two and I can imagine the kitchen is capable of doing more when it isn't busy. So many good choices in San Francisco not sure I would go back. I also wouldn't not go back I just wan't thrilled. Good price to quality and quantity in food and wine."

"The waiter in this restaurant spoiled the entire meal for us! Before we were even seated he had shoved the wine and food menus onto the table between us and asked what we wanted to drink;he hovered when we said we hadnt decided until we did. There was no interval between courses and he kept coming back to see if we were finished witha dish. If we put our fork down we had to hold on to our plates or they would have been taken out from under our noses.And it was NOT as if the place was full with a waiting line. We didnt complain because he acted that way with allthe tables. About the most frenetic dinner weve ever had."

"Went there for a birthday dinner. Food was just ok; soup was warm, not hot. Service was very good. Menu was uninspiring. Souflette tasted very much like a chinese egg tart, barely tasted any of the orange liquor. Steak was bland."

"This is a neighborhood gem! Romantic, you'd think you were in France itself! The only complaint with our dinner is that there were 5 large groups seated almost concurrently with us (party of two). The restaurant was extremely crowded, not an empty table, which made our wait staff inefficient and slow. Had to request extra butter, bread, water instead of our wait staff checking to see how we were doing. The noise level, due to the crowd, was exhausting and we had a difficult time talking to each other without raising our voices. The food remains top-level but the lack of service really shrouded our dinner."

Service was great as well as the atmosphere. Very reasonably priced with a fantastic French wine list. Highly recommended and will definitely be coming back."

"Absolutely exceptional. The food was perfect, the service attentive and the ambiance superb. We came to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday and she was serenaded by the accordion player with several of her favorite songs. The owner stopped by the table to chat and inquire about our experience. We'll definitely be back."
