Spaswinefood has dined at Left Bank a number of times. My most recent visit was when my friend and I dropped by Santana Row for brunch in late June. Left Bank has outside/inside dinning options. We chose to dine inside. Inside has a nice open feel to it. There is an open kitchen. It has the largest bar on Santana Row.
