“Great food and excellent service“

“Great intense flavors! Salted caramel is the best but butterfingers is pretty awesome too. My six year old daughter and I polished off a dozen in two days!“

“We had an awesome date night at Amour WeHo. We started with caviar, escargot, and frog legs. We followed that with the burger and a Caesar salad with lobster. We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine with our dinner. The service was outstanding. All of the staff was great. This was our first visit and we are so happy that we found this place. We will be back soon.“

“I’m in LA visiting family and my mother and I stopped in here on a whim. And it’s absolutely beautiful. The decor, the ambience, the food, the service, everything is 10/10. Our waitress Caroline was an absolute doll. The hashbrowns and chicken sausage was amazing. My tequila sunrise was delicious. The spot is a gem !“

“$55 Three course meal select from 4 each Appetizer, main course and dessert. Great service, delicious 😋 food!“

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

“Loupiotte Kitchen was a dreamy French cafe. Their creamy polenta was rich and comforting. The brioche French toast, topped with citrus, berries, and cream was pure joy. The soft French music also added to the cozy vibe. Definitely a must for anyone who loves breakfast done with elegance and heart.“

“I’ve been to Zizou five times in just two months, and I absolutely love it. Walking in feels like coming home, like being on the docks in the south of France, maybe Marseille. Maati and Boris, the founders, have created a space that feels like an oasis.

Their partnership is the perfect blend: Maati, an architect by training, and Boris, a sommelier and sound designer, met in Lyon, France, during their youth. Together, they’ve designed and built everything inside and out, blending Moroccan and French influences to create an incredible atmosphere.

The food is fantastic, everything from the Moroccan salad to the mussels marinières is delicious. Their menu beautifully fuses North African and French flavors. Plus, they offer great wines, including a Sicilian white in a 1-liter bottle that’s mineral and incredible.

Music plays a big role here too, adding to the vibrant, relaxed vibe. Maati and Boris really care about the community, hosting events and creating a space where you don’t feel rushed.

All this comes at very reasonable prices, making Zizou a must-visit in LA. It’s a fantastic spot, and I never get tired of going back.

Merci pour le voyage!“

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

“Loved every single element of the experience with“

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

“Los Feliz in California is a must and Figaro must be included! This is a wonderful unassuming French restaurant, very traditional French cuisine. Get the Moules Marinieres! They give you so many mussels and the fries were delicious! My only issue is that they don't serve bread to dip in the broth and I had to ask for a spoon. There was no way I was going to leave that delicious broth, well seasoned with rosemary! The Kir Royal was standard. Their desserts were also delicious. Had the millefeuille (Napoleon) and took home the bread pudding. The millefeuille was creamy and not overly sweet. The bread pudding was a very large portion that could be divided easily into two servings. My friend had the macarons. She said the pistachio was the best she had ever tasted. Service was pleasant. Dining was in old leather cushioned chairs, a little low and hard to prevent your bag from being on the floor. There are options to sit at other tables with bistro chairs Looking forward to returning to this restaurant!“

“Quality of food was excellent- lamb, chicken & risotto as mains. All starters great too - oysters, endive salad & sliced amberjack.
Service could be improved but we were struck given how most good restaurants in LA are super crowded how this excellent place was but half full on a Wednesday night. Our party included those from Korea Town - 20 minutes & Santa Monica - 30 minutes at rush hour- 6:45 - not bad.“

“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.“

“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 !“

“Excelente food with unbelievable service“

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

“Seriously what a CUTE restaurant. For the ladies who love a gorgeous outdoor patio with delicious food and ambience, this is your spot! Be prepared to spend as this is a refined establishment despite the garden atmosphere. Everything we purchased was delectable, and although it was simple they have great wine selection. I will definitely be back! They also have valet so you don’t need to worry about parking.“

“Delicious food in an energetic environment. The pluses: Fun riffs on classic French dishes, reimagined with a Japanese overtone; notable items - Croque Madame, Duck Frites, Decibel Martini , gentle corkage. But the negatives: The "turn this table'" approach to service, with the next dish arriving before you finish the one before (very typical of Arts District restaurants, sadly), and absurd price/quantity relationships. The $70 Duck Frites was a batch of fries, a few roasted vegetables, and three 3" strips of (admittedly delicious) boneless duck. Two quarter-sized uni toasts for $28. A couple dozen clams in a excellent broth, with toast and lobster butter (subbing for bouillabaisse and rouile) was $27. I'm not going back anytime soon, though I doubt they'll notice.“

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

“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!!!!“

“Great food! Great service!“

“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.“

“Only recommend their basic vegetarian dishes. The chefs' confidence and pitch did not meet my expectations, and the add-ons were rather quite basic. My partner and I tried one full course without add-ons and one with all the add-ons, but we both much preferred the vegetarian options.

Few comments.. They will not take the initiative to explain the menu unless you paid for the extra. For the course four and five they basically used the same sauce. Regarding wine, unless you do a pairing, they will choose a bottle for you to try, but without much description and will simply ask you to say yes or no to it, which felt a bit odd. I left with mixed feelings. I’ve dined at many michelin but never felt like I wanted to leave a review before. Also will have to wait like 15-20mins to be seated from your reservation time without much explanation again.. And was also confused why they were playing kpop half the time. Maybe cuz its in ktown?

I think you will enjoy it if you can vibe with them!“

“Very good outdoor customer service!“

“Beyond the great quality pastries and food, Andrew was nothing but welcoming, helpful and sweet, so much so - I thought he was the owner of this place! It's so nice to experience someone who genuinely cares about the offered products and place.“

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

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

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

“Been twice, and both times were wonderful. The food is delicious, the ambiance is a great vibe, and the service has been great! Stella, our server this last time was very attentive and welcomed us with the reservation notes. Loved the attention to detail!“

“My third time there, brought a group this time. They throughly enjoyed themselves!
The atmosphere, the student workers & loved the selection of foods. We shared tasting and raved about the tastes, preparation, presentation and creative mixing. What a fabulous place to dine!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The Little Door is hands down one of my favorite night spots in LA. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful with fairy lights, cozy corners, and the most romantic vibes. It’s the perfect setting for a date night or a special evening out.

The food was incredible. I highly recommend the steak and the chicken with broccoli — both were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor.

Service was great, and everything about the evening just felt relaxed yet special. I’ll definitely be coming back. A hidden gem that completely lives up to the hype!“

“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!“

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

“Wonderful atmosphere and absolutely delicious food!“

“A wonderful classic Hollywood space, updated but true to its origins. I figured the food should be pretty good. Wrong! The food was really really excellent!!! A remarkably richly flavored duck breast, among the tenderest I’ve ever had. I had duck breast the next day at a Michelin-starred restaurant a mile or so to the south, and this was better. Yes, I like duck. Creative and beautifully prepared appetizers. Friendly and natural service.
Another well-known and excellent LA chef had this space for a while, and I’m amazed that the this new restaurant and new chef are appreciably better.“

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

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

“We happened upon this delicious little gem, in Montrose, after viewing the immersive Van Gogh exhibit in Hollywood. Incredibly… the decor was all Van Gogh art prints! Perfectly in tun with our afternoon. The French owner is an absolute delight. We ordered a Moroccan chicken dish and beef bourguignon. The portions were very hearty and absolutely delicious. We also upgraded our dinner to include salad and a lovely blueberry tart for dessert. The entire experience was memorable! We’ll definitely be back and bringing friends!“

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

“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.“

“Best kosher bakery!!! Variety of cakes, tarts, best sourdough and multigrain bread! They have gluten free items per request and always happy to accommodate!“
