While this is the "proper" Chez Papa restaurant, and the Potrero Hill original is the bistro, I've always considered the Mint Plaza restaurant to be the lesser of the two.
It's less authentic in its Francophilia, and has always seemed to me like more of an attempt to make money than a natural development of our local Chez Papa.
Nevertheless, it stands on its own as a destination restaurant, with a late-night lounge vibe that's impossible for the much smaller Bistro to achieve.
The food used to be just as good as the Bistro, but as you may have seen from one of my Chez Papa Bistro reviews, the parent organization has "sold back" the Resto to its chef / manager.
You'll just have to go there and find out for yourself, to see if it's as good as it was last year.
