Everything about this place was really good. I had the sea bass on a bed of spinach. The sauce that came with it was excellent. My date had steak and lobster, and they were both delicious. This is a great place to have a meal but fair prices and good service. We will definitely be back.Parking: There is street parking and some lots, but it does get busy. Don't let that stop you, I have always found a spot within a short walk .

We are not giving away our Rights and Freedoms to eat here. Found out they only allow people with the mRNA vaccine entrance into the business. Not happening. Hopefully they will wake up and discover Covid is not scary nor worth altering your DNA for. No vaxxx no entry? The truth will prevail.

Love The Bistro! The beef bourginon is so tender and full of flavor. The salmon is tasty and so are the Buffalo Chicken Taquitos. You can't go wrong with any dish you order here. Very cute and intimate dining experience. I've also done wine tasting here and Armando and the wines he suggests are fabulous! Servers are professional and friendly! Highly recommend!

Service here was top notch, our waiter was great and attentive I think if I could dodge the not so great dishes on the menu he alone would bring me back. Sadly the food was not quite there, pasta on Chicken dish was overcooked and veggies were undercooked in other dishes. If they could nail down cooking this place would be a solid 5 stars but overcooked pasta especially on a $25 dish is not ok. If you are looking for a good bottle of wine and some seriously good deserts you should go here.

Love the food and the ambience here! There is an adorable french market attached that has so many cute gift ideas and foods including wines/cheese/crackers/ frozen crepes/macarons and the best frozen coq au vin for 2 people that was easy to defrost in the microwave for 10 min and cook or microwave in 4 min.

We found this place accidentally as we were walking along Seal Beach, and were we glad that we did! The braised beef poutine and the tart tatin are the best I've had those two in the Los Angeles area! I wish that Seal Beach was closer to me, but I will do the 1 hour drive to eat here because it's that good! My husband says that the crepe is also worth the drive. ? They have a store that sells a variety of French food and kitchen items --- very cute to find unique gifts for foodies in your life. The service is attentive and friendly. I only wish that they didn't have the TVs because those give it a more bar feel, yet when I think French cuisine, I think more of bistro. The quality of the food is bistro-type, not bar.Kid-friendliness: It's a sports bar environment, so I wouldn't bring children here.Parking: There are some paid lots around, but parking is at a premium in this part of town.
