“This place was just what I was looking for. Love the French decor and ambiance! The Spanish guitar was incredible and really made my night. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening. Love the outdoor patio especially on a warm night. We had a waiter that was friendly and conversational. Was so sad to know this place is closing. Was my first experience here, and I would have come back and referred others. Wonderful place that LA needs more of“

“A very authentic French restaurant. I like the food there.“

“An unforgettable night thanks to the incredible staff, chef, and entire team at Merois! They made my husband’s birthday surprise absolutely perfect—a memory we’ll cherish forever. Huge gratitude to Wolfgang Puck for the outstanding food. Truly a fantastic evening!“

“Nice romantic atmosphere which you can actually hear others talk to you. Deep fried whole catfish is a spectacular dish! Great attentive service by staff.“

“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.“

“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 !“

“11/10 experience at Juliet! The food was absolutely perfect and staff was lovely! Our server, Hannah was instrumental in helping me pick the right wine. The food was beautifully prepared and the atmosphere was perfect for date night. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“We were a walk in with zero expectations considering the neighborhood this is located in, but wow -- it was lovely. The selections on both food and wine menus were limited, but very good. Much like a proper european restaurant, they are not trying to be everything and OK at it, they do a few things on which they excel. Atmosphere was great, much more Silverlake than Lincoln Heights. I recommend highly and will be back.“

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

“The best French food in LA. Chef is outstanding. Staff incredible. So yourself a favor. Go.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food! Great service!“

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

“Chef Gary Menes works a miracle in his three person kitchen where you sit at the counter and watch the meal evolve. Be aware that there is an only one seating at the counter and that all diners your evening must be present to begin the meal. The restaurant only seats 11 max per night and is located in the historic Hotel Normandie in K-town. Each course is beautifully plated and although all gourmet vegetarian inspired, the beef substitution was amazing. The wine pairings with each course inspired. Amazing, memorable meal!“

“Bravo Chef Bruno makes fabulous food.. Excellent service 🤩“

“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.“

“Since they have introduced VEGAN soups, the delite of this has brought in many others besideS myself MORE OFTEN! 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!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very good outdoor customer service!“

“The food was great. The owner is very friendly & pleasant to talk with 😄😘😘“

“Delightful cafe with mouth-watering French pastries, delicious coffee and a whole host of other goodness!
We loved every single thing we ordered, and came back the next morning and afternoon for more!
Sure wish we could take you all back to Indiana with us!
Such a lovely staff!“

“Spouse and I came here last Saturday and had a great experience, the environment with the candles, the music, the beautiful interior, and of course the food and welcoming/warm service, the steak and branzino was fantastic. Jocelyn will welcome you the same way he does with Oste next door, and see Tito for a great Martini, we are so happy to have them in the neighborhood!“

“Bryce the server was Excellent- The food was ughhh just ok- The turkey was not up to par It was like a turkey loaf, They had a dark meat confet that made no sense tasted and looked wierd-they had a smear of what I do not know added to the plate ( mystery) gravy was very little and watery- something had truffle oil added to it and lost me with that -I wanted to like it but was not very good - the sides came, flavorless Two skillets of stuffing one small whipped potatoes brussel sprouts were good, the best things were the butternut squash soup and the salad- Pies were ok Branzino looked small Darn it!“

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

“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!“

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

“Harlowe turned into a fun night out with friends for us. A bunch of us had gotten together after many years without seeing each other. This restaurant/bar/club was the perfect setting for an epic night. The drinks and the service were absolutely awesome!“

“Tucked into an LA corner, this teacup-sized portal feels conjured by a black cat, a fairy, and a wizard in rare collaboration. The diminutive doorframe whispers secrets to passing giants, beckoning imagination far more than practical entry. Step inside, and an intimate cocoon of magic and extravagance unravels and envelops you, every detail a carefully curated spell.
Five-star enchantment for dreamers, a must for anyone with an eclectic palate and an insatiable appetite for the singular and surreal. ❤️“

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

“This place is a real gem. The bruschetta was absolutely incredible. The scratch-made pasta was delicious, and they have arguably the best tiramisu I've ever had. The service was friendly and relaxed, making it a great spot for any occasion. If you're craving tasty Italian food, this place is definitely worth checking out.“

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

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

“Accueillant et branché. On y mange et boit très bien.“

“Everything so delicious, and owners so nice“

“This was my second visit to Entre Nous French Bistro, and it absolutely confirmed what I felt the first time—this place is a hidden gem. We came yesterday to celebrate my sister’s birthday, and everything about the evening was simply perfect.

We were a party of five and shared a variety of dishes that showcased the kitchen’s finesse and authenticity. We started with the Daily Pick Oysters, which were impeccably fresh and beautifully presented. The Tartare de Saumon was bright and delicate, and the Escargots de Bourgogne were everything you’d hope for—garlicky, buttery, and so satisfying. The Homemade Duck Pâté was another standout—rich, rustic, and perfectly paired with fresh baguette slices.

For entrées, we had the Filet Mignon, Rack of Lamb, Magret de Canard, French Fries, and the Salmon special of the day. Every single dish was a hit. The meats were expertly cooked to temperature, the sauces were layered and flavorful, and the sides were just as impressive. Even the fries deserve a shoutout—crispy, golden, and addictive.

The service was warm, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. They made sure my sister felt celebrated, and we never once felt rushed. The ambiance is cozy and intimate, with just the right touch of French charm.

Entre Nous continues to impress, and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants in town. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a night out, this bistro delivers every time. Already looking forward to visit number three!“

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

“This creperie is super cozy, even though it's a bit hidden because of construction. But it's open and they're really welcoming! Prices are low, and the vibe is cool. I really liked the savory crepe, it was interesting and tasty. The sweet one I got wasn't amazing, but it was still fine. They also have tea and coffee.“
