“Great high quality food and service“

“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 !“

“While both the food and wine were delicious, the highlight was definitely the ambience. The eclectic design of the back patio combined with the dramatic lighting and incredible music selection made the whole experience that much better. It felt like we were transported out of LA for a few hours. My only complaints are the lack of parking and the 2hr max table reservation, so we didn't get to stay as long as we would have liked. “

“Se los recomiendo muy rica comida y los meseros muy atentos 👍“

“Great food! Great service!“

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

“If you want a wonderful cocktail and good food, Camelia is great. What it lacked though was a bit of equity. I made a reservation for 7:00pm, was five minutes early to the restaurant, and walk in patrons received a better table than what I was offered for my husband and I. We literally sat next to a planter at the entrance, so my husband had numerous people (who were waiting to be seated) standing one foot away from his back the entire dinner. Thankfully he did not complain about it. Was it because we were new? Was it because they thought we would not spend? I was not sure. The hostess was a bit dismissive. Although the majority of the food was excellent, and the serving staff was kind, our small appetizers did not come out at the right time (kitchen timing). One small plate did, but the others were served when our dinner was served. Our salad of kabocha squash was served following the entree and it seemed quickly assembled and too cold, as if it just moved out of a refrigerator. The burrata made the radicchio mushy and the squash was undercooked as well. The two items of note were the cocktails (I recommend the Vieux Carre) and the roasted mushroom small plate. I have a shrimp allergy so I had to avoid most of the menu (too bad), but the New York steak and Grilled Loup De Mer (Branzino) was excellent. Plan to spend approximately $400, plus tip for a full spread and drinks.“

“Delicious food. My favs are zucchini pizza and salmon tartine - must try! If you like olives, order too, you'll be surprised with how great they are here. Honestly, every dish I've ever ordered here was great. And the quality is consistently hight throughout the years. Good selection of wine and cocktails as well. Recommend, recommend, recommend!“

“ADDISON WAS THE BEST PART! His energy and attention to detail really made our experience worth while! If you go, ask for him ☺️“

“It's a small family restaurant with a high-end menu. I am very picky about escargots, and La Vie gets it right. This one is a must order. The smoked trout was good, but not a must. The duck is served to perfection - crispy skin and tender meat. We also got scallops and prawns, which were delicious, but the duck was the winner. Entrees come with soup, salad, and coffee at the end of the meal. We couldn't resist the souffle, one of my faves.“

“I had Japanese breakfast w/ miso black cod, it was tasty.“

“I recently stopped by The Cauldron for drinks and appetizers, and it did not disappoint! The highlight of the evening was definitely the French onion soup—it was rich and flavorful, truly stealing the show. We also tried the Brussels sprouts, which were delicious. The charcuterie board was a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, and the inclusion of black cheese added a fun Halloween touch. Overall, a fantastic experience that I highly recommend I enjoyed it all on the patio.“

“Garson de Cafe is very Chic . Beautiful decor and fantastic customer service. I highly recommend this place to everyone.“

“Last weekend I stopped by while walking through the farmers market, I wasn’t really planning to eat anything sweet, but the smell of those crepes was impossible to ignore. I ordered a strawberry and nutella one and they made it fresh right in front of me, the crepe was warm and soft. I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed it, I’m usually more of a savory person, but this really hit the spot.“

“Teresa our server was very attentive to us and we enjoyed the food and the service.“

“I was invited to this restaurant that is inside of Level 8 in DTLA.

It’s a nice place. It’s an experience for sure.

It was crowded! It was a Saturday night; after all.

Courteous staff greeting. Pleasant servers.

Crispy and cold champagne. Stiff cocktails.

Overall good food; the beet salad WOW!

It did seem a little unorganized all together and all around.

First course was a salad and it took almost 30 minutes to come out. I finally asked the server who was a darling: (Dionne) Are you short staffed?

She replied; “no we’re not short staffed, it’s coming.”

After the salad it all seemed to have fallen into place.

A magician came to our table and he was somewhat funny. He definitely made the wait for food seem shorter as he entertained us with his cards.

I had a good time. Too crowded for me. Too loud, too. I’ve never been to a restaurant for dinner this crowded and this loud.

My date and I walked next door (literally) to Wanderlust and the live band was good. A Dj came after and was good, too. We had a table but our server came once and never again. Frankly; Wanderlust seemed over capacity.

We left early because it was too packed and couldn’t get a second round of cocktails at our table.

There was a lot of people standing in front of our table and in particular two very tall men in their grey, sweat pants and sweat shirt, sets.

Where did the dress code go? It’s L. A and it’s a Saturday night people! Cmon…..

I recommend experiencing Maison Kasai at least once.

Again, for me, the beet salad was the MVP of the night.

Hope you’re all enjoying your summer……“
