We tried the poisson cru, cauliflower, risotto, classic salad, and sea bream. All were fabulous, bursting with flavors and super well-balanced. We left the meal feeling full but not heavy and already talking about coming back soon!“

“Lovely food, charming interior. We had carpaccio, lobster bisque, crispy duck, and potato crusted salmon. The dishes were all prepared very well. The fresh bread was quite good, served with harissa, etc. We very much enjoyed the nut tart served with vanilla sauce and very nice hazelnut gelato. Can’t wait to go again.“

“I had a wonderful experience. I got to my reservation early, so I sat at the bar to wait for the rest of my party. I was helped immediately in ordering a drink. I chose their Tempranillo red wine. So delicious and easy to drink. I highly recommend. The bar manager greeted me to see how I was doing. He was very nice.

The decor was super cute with pretty umbrella canopies over each table. The service was excellent, our server was friendly and attentive.

Honestly everything we ate was delicious. If I HAD to choose, I’d say my favorites were the scallop appetizer and lamb entree. ? I wish I took photos, the presentation was beyond exquisite.

I would definitely go again, and I would recommend anyone and everyone to come here.“

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

“Incredible burger. Easy candidate for best in LA. Great cocktails and NA drinks. Perfect spot to walk-in and grab a seat at the bar with a friend or solo. So grateful to have Cou Cou around the corner!

Last week was my ~4th time dining here. Food came out late after ordering from the bar and the kitchen had misplaced the ticket, so the bartender apologized and gave us a round on the house to compensate.“

“I recently stopped by this lovely bakery in Beverly Hills, and I have to say, it’s a hidden gem! My friend, who has been a loyal customer for years, recommended it to me, and I’m so glad she did. I visited once last year, and while I was in the area this morning, I couldn’t resist returning for their excellent coffee. The coffee alone is worth the trip, but they also have a wide selection of delicious- pastries. I’ve heard great things about their breakfast options, and their baguettes are supposed to be excellent.

The bakery offers indoor and outdoor seating, making it a cozy, relaxing spot to enjoy your meal. Free parking is available, which is a massive plus in Beverly Hills!

I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!“

“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.“

“Very good outdoor customer service!“

“Welcoming and attentive service... delicious breakfast omelets... beautiful ambiance“

“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.“

“Beautiful restaurant with wonderful service. Did the tasting menu with wine pairing. It was pricey but everything we ate tasted amazing. Loved the lobster thai red curry with pinot noir they paired it with. It is literally something I make at home, eat and drink. Or atleast try to.“

“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!“

“It was a culinary experience. Food was the delicious and the ambiance was magical. The place is so pretty. However, the place is small and so it gets crowded and that makes the noise level so loud along with music. But once you get acclimated, it's doesn't bother at all. I really loved it.“
