This was such a wonderful surprise! Classic French bistro but also had delicious vegan options and great cocktails.

I wouldn't say this is a French restaurant. It may have some French influences. The NY strip was flavorful, fries and cocktail was good but those are basic... everything else was average. Didn't meet our expectations.

Brought myself here for my birthday during Dine LA week. It’s gorgeous inside with comfortable seats at the bar. Paúla behind the bar was excellent and I’m still dreaming of the leeks with Dijon and lardons.

Cozy settings with attentive but not overbearing wait staff. Duck liver was a favorite out of the whole meal. Cod was a bit overcooked and on the salty side. Nicely curated wine list with generous pour. I just might come back to have duck live with a glass of champagne!!

Lovely French restaurant in the heart of Old Town Pasadena. Loved everything, from the warm bread with butter, to the great drinks and the stand out dish - the Dover Sole (would skip the croutons, though). Also, the octopus would taste better with a different paste underneath (the cauliflower was overpowering). Overall, still 100% recommend this place.

Loup de Mer disappointment
Branzino should be delicate, flaky, and mild — with crisp skin and simple seasoning. What I got was thin, mushy, dry, and fishy fish, drowned in a heavy creamy sauce that tried to hide its flaws.
Either they ran out of branzino and substituted a cheap fish without telling customers, or the chef completely mishandled it. Either way, it’s disrespectful to diners.
Only redeeming part was the crème brûlée — truly excellent.

I went for my birthday, I absolutely adore french food, the food was so flavorful. The location reminded me of restaurants I've been to in nyc, and the food was so good it took me back to paris all over again. I couldn't decide wether to get the tarte tartin or soufflé so I got both! I was impressed with everything the staff was kind. I would definitely go back again!

Had a dinner with my husband for our anniversary. We ordered escargot, duck liver parfait for appetizers, steak frites and duck cassoulet for entrees, cream brulee for dessert. With the price, we were expecting really good food, given that we have tried multiple French restaurants in LA before with lower prices and had amazing experiences. The steak was cold when it was brought out, we ordered a sauce for additional cost but it was still hard to chew. The cassoulet was really salty, the duck was tender though. The cream brulee was supposed to have raspberries on top (I saw from the review pictures) but we only had the sauce, I’m not sure if they ran out of it and did not inform us. The best part of the night was the appetizers, unfortunately. We did give feedback at the end to our waiter and all we received was “thanks for letting us know, I’ll let my manager know” but nothing else happened. Will advise people choose a different French restaurant, might be better price and quality.

A very positive experience and the food was slow cooked to perfection. The staff and the service was top notch and I would recommend trying a medley of options at this location. It's very tucked away with both outside and inside seating.
What a wonderful surprise to find this place! We loved everything about it especially the food and wine! Which is pretty great when it's a restaurant you're rating! This place should have been packed it's so darn good! Can't wait to be back.

We booked a dinner table on Wednesday. Everything was good, but I couldn't understand the cake fee. At the end, when we were celebrating our cake, we asked them to change clean plates for me and my friend to put the cake on. They prepared two sets of tableware for the two of us (a set cost 5 dollars). We felt that the plate fee was a bit strange and a bit upset. Everything else was good. I recommend their NY steak.
