I've left a few raving reviews for Simonette in the past. This time we were disappointed with the food and the server. 2 of us ordered the Nicoise Salad . We've ordered this numerous times. This time it really fell short. the amount of tuna was ridiculous. Maybe 2 bites. All of the other ingredients were also very small. The server seemed to be having a bad day. Seemed depressed, not friendly, a bit depressed. It was not busy so maybe that was down about the lack of tips. The GM or hotstess was wonderful

I have not done there since Dan LA which is when we go to discover new places . This one is delightful. We have now returned a few times. Food service, ambience lovely the menu is just big enough to satisfy almost everyone's choices. A few vegetarian things could be added.

I love Simonette at the Palihotel in Culver City. The location is a little magical garden with scrumptious food and a lovely and attentive staff.

I had never heard of this restaurant, nor the hotel, Palihotel. I was pleasantly surprised. It was charming, the service great and the price reasonable (especially Happy Hour!). The patio was charming! I would definitely recommend this place.

The Sunday Supper was incredible! Delicious, perfectly cooked salmon with crip green beans and a large little gem salad. Plus a nice bottle of wine. Such a good value and a wonderful experience overall. Will definitely be back soon!

Food was mediocre. Service good. Extremely loud in the dining area. The look of the dining area was interesting/ nice. Perhaps good as a bar, not recommended as a restaurant.
Diane
Great food, and the service was also great. They let me and my 2 friends hang for 3 hours and catch up - never rushed us.

Love going to Simonette! Fun atmosphere, great food! Service was quite slow this time, however. If it wasn't for that, I would have rated 5 stars. Will come back, though!
The service and ambiance was great. Parking unless it's valet is a challenge. Food was just OK.

What a fabulous place! Genuinely great vibes, food, and people. Probably the best espresso martini I’ve ever had, and the fries are phenomenal. Vanessa was our server and she handled everything like a champ. Love it here!

Had lunch there on a Saturday afternoon. Valet parking was already full, and it took us a while to find street parking, because the majority of streets in this neighborhood are permit parking only. We had the croquettes, gem salad, moules frites and the Parisian burger. Overall ok, but nothing exceptional. Recommend stopping by if in the area, but wouldn’t make a special trip for it.

Taking place at Palihotel, Simonette clearly delivered that classic elegant brunch vibe. Bit of feeling teleported into a French cafe, making it perfect spot for chillin' weekend brunch with my friends.
Scoring more wins, the foods were also palatable. Some of us went for their Americaine burger which came in pretty filling portions, especially as it's also served with generous fries (you could open for salad substitution as well!). My friends who opted for it said the patty was juicy and the sauce was flavorful.
I was more of the dainty side, picking their Steak Tartare Crostone, which was surprisingly not as light as I thought. Abundantly served steak tartare on top of a slice of sourdough with a hint of truffle. Simple yet doubtlessly delicate choice!
More speedy service could make it deserve the fifth star :)

Had the Parisienne Burger at Simonette during happy hour ($10). Juicy, flavorful, and perfectly messy in the best way. It’s everything you want in a burger. The sesame bun was soft yet sturdy, and the sauce-to-meat ratio was spot on. Great vibes on the patio too. Highly recommend stopping by for this deal. it’s a steal for the quality
