“Excelente food with unbelievable service“

“I love Simonette. The patio is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a cocktail and breakfast, lunch, or brunch. I’ve been there twice now and I can highly recommend the burger on the menu - the fried egg on top completes it! And the mussels in the light cream sauce are wonderful - especially with fries. A friend of mine ordered the fried Bronzino - the complete fish including the head - and she said it was delicious. There are great cocktails available and several wines and Prosecco available by the glass. The onsite valet parking is a bit steep, but there are many nearby options for parking in downtown Culver City if you don’t mind walking a few blocks.“

“Very good outdoor customer service!“

“I attended the Harvard Extended event at The Culver Hotel and had a great time!“

“Everything I've had from here has been extraordinary. My favorite was a croissant-muffin filled with raspberry creme. Magical. The textures are perfect without being greasy. The savory treats are excellent, too. Note: I had no luck trying to find the Palms location. Best to go to the Maisan Macha stand at the Mar Vista farmer's market on Sundays. Come early before your favorites sell out! Updated from previous review on 2025-08-30“

“We had an amazing dining experience. The food, the service., the atmosphere were all incredible. Nathan took very good care of our group in the private room. The magician and the aerialist show throughout the night was an added bonus to the evening. We will definitely be back again soon!!“

“Excellents croissant français.“

“We had a wonderful time. We kicked off my hubby's birthday with great food, wonderful vibes and incredible service!! My husband could not stop raving about the eggs! We literally came back for the biscuits. I hate that I don't remember our waitresses name because she was so sweet and attentive. She was also kind enough to bring us a complimentary round of champs and mimosas!! This is our second time coming in and the service is not only consistent, it keeps getting better!“

“Amazing place!! Do yourself a favor and go! Make it“

“I have had many souffle in my life , I personally travel around the world trying the best of the best souffle . This far is the best I have ever had !“

“You have to go to l'Appart by Air Food to experience a delicious French bistrot ambiance. The ambiance outside is very friendly, covid-safe and cosy. The dishes are beyond delicious. Yesterday I had the Plat du Jour with delicious scallops and home made very tasty mash potato puree. The plate are so beautifully presented - it is a pleasure to look. The desserts were delicious as well. There is a shade that separates the table from the streets for privacy. Free parking in the corner street. Brigitte the waitress is very welcoming and the owner / chef are beyond nice. An address to discover !“

“My wife and I had a last minute great dinner at Coucou. We coincidentally happened to dine on Martini Monday, which was truly a great deal including their fantastic Burger Americaine and a top-notch dirty martini. We also shared the steak frites (prepared perfectly with tasty fries) and would never miss the soft serve sundae! It's great to have such a wonderful and comfortable french-style bistro in the neighborhood, and we'll be thrilled to return soon! Thank you very much for the fun, spontaneous evening!“

“Great service, fantastic food and presentation. Great live music. Was a great experience!“

“First time solo customer; sat outside, and my breakfast was très bon! Served with grace, care, and pride. Every single ingredient was wonderful and cooked perfectly. All the flavors and textures commingled beautifully.
They can’t help it that the building next to them is boarded up. All the employees could not have been more pleasant and friendly. Definitely will return and bring friends. Oui, I recommend!“

“Restaurant is beautifully designed. I loved the breakfast table setting. Genuine friendly greeting and service from Kevin was outstanding. My Croque Madame was delicious. Thank you chefs. Great job everyone.“

“Love the dishes. House made pasta. Mussels Steamer. Beet salad. Escargots. Ham and sunny egg crepe. Bread with butter and olive oil. Blueberry cheese cake.
We also came back for coffee. It's a nice place with nice hosts.
I guess the only thing can be better is that bread could be on the house. It's a lunch time though. I would expect the dinner comes with bread.“

“Lovely food, charming interior. We had carpaccio, lobster bisque, crispy duck, and potato crusted salmon. The dishes were all prepared very well. The fresh bread was quite good, served with harissa, etc. We very much enjoyed the nut tart served with vanilla sauce and very nice hazelnut gelato. Can’t wait to go again.“

“Absolutely loved Chez Mia, came here for a girls night and had the best time. The vibes were great — warm, welcoming, and full of energy. The food was delicious— every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. The staff were so attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. You can tell they care about creating a great experience for their guests. Highly recommend this spot — can’t wait to come back!“

“My fav. local place when visiting LA. Love the atmosphere, superb service/class, & caviar. The best🥂“

“If you're even reading this, it's because you appreciate truly great food. I first discovered Le Comptoir because of its Michelin star—but I came back because of the perfection, creativity, and heart that Chef Gary Menes and his small team put into every single course. This is the kind of place where the details actually matter: the pacing is thoughtful, the flavors are dialed-in, and every plate feels intentional without ever feeling fussy or pretentious. The experience is also amazingly personal—you're close enough to watch the team work, and it's genuinely special to see such talented people practicing their craft right in front of you. If you're looking for a memorable night built around passion, precision, and food that feels like art (but tastes even better), Le Comptoir absolutely delivers.“

“Coffee is better than Starbucks. Variety choices of desserts was fun“

“Our favorite place to eat in the area. Not only a little piece of France, but truly delicious and authentic food. Prices are reasonable too.“

They started a few weeks ago with a potato porage type soup which was so delicious, we had hard time not ordering more...the second vegan soup was one with garbanzo beans with other really delicious quality CONTENTS & taste. "PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK"...Great Now!!!!“

“The ambiance at Mes Amis is a beautiful blend of sophistication and intimacy. The dimly lit dining room, adorned with vintage French posters, offers a romantic setting for couples. The soft murmur of conversation and clinking of glasses create an atmosphere of conviviality.“

“Going to Shirley Brassiere which is inside the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel is such an exciting experience!  From the Valet to going up the famous steps, peeking into the lobby as you walk into the restaurant ...it's very elegant, a lot of history, mystery and super beautiful.  The restaurant feels old-school Hollywood. The vibe we had an old-school so we had martini's and they were served up nice and cold!  We had an incredible paté appetizer and a charcuterie board which was very nice, not too heavy and perfect with our cocktails.  Then we moved onto our main dishes. I had beef bourguignon and my friend had a chicken dish. Total comfort food served in small portions. I had a nice wine pairing recommended by our waiter. We definitely had dessert- I had a fruit tart, and my friend had a chocolate mousse. We had a relaxed wonderful meal with great ambience. We left feeling great and hope to go back again soon!“

“Lovely!!! Service, food, ambiance... all amazing!!! Our server was incredibly helpful and attentive without interfering and the food was delectable. Mezze plate and Charcuterie and cheese were above average and very reasonably priced. Risotto and drinks were wonderful and the decor was charming!“

“We loved this place; delish food, great location and lovely Parisian vibe!“

“Always excellent food! Try their meals to go during social distancing“

“My first time dining at Fete Bistro. Great value and so wonderful to eat a French meal with the accordion windows open. I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes, steak tartare, French onion soup and all of their entrees. My husband had the sea bass special and he said it was one of the best prepared sea bass dishes he's ever eaten. The crème brûlée and pistachio cheese cake were both decadent and delicious. We drank pear martinis and Slay Estate Pinot Noir. We will be back!!“
