“Service is impeccable every time we go. I always feel very taken care of. The food is excellent. I always get the mussel appetizer. The lobster bisque is the best I've ever had. The tables are close together and the noise level can be a tad noisy on a busy weekend night but it's not too bad.“
“My son Jacob and I visited Petit Trois (3/16/24) approximately 9:00pm as we were driving down Ventura looking for a nice spot to eat. We had just left the batting cages and weren't dressed to impress. We stopped and walked into Petit Trois. I was mortified to see the guests dressed and as I was about to motion to leave we were greeted and taken to sit down at the kitchen counter! In my opinion the best seats in the house! We were treated with such respect and courtesy that I almost got emotional with my son! We ordered the Filet Aux Poivres. Jacob is a 14 year old steak enthusiast! He has taught me that a real steak is eating with out any steak sauce so he knows his stuff! He instantly gave this beautiful and well prepared steak his proud full approval! It was awesome watching all the chefs perform to a melody of the same beat! The service was impeccable. The treatment was by far the best we have seen and experienced in a very long time. Our waiter and the chefs treated us like royalty. The staff worked beautifully behind the scenes! We love this place and to all the staff thank you for treating us like royalty!“
“I have been here many times and all of their food is absolutely amazing. These girls do a great job in making sure all of the food is perfect, especially when it gets very busy. It's definitely worth the wait. Anyone who chooses to eat here won't be disappointed.“
“This place is divine. It is true authentic French and you feel like you've been transported to Paris when you go. The food is so finely prepared with quality ingredients and each dish is so unique and delicious. It's my new favorite!“
“I've never been disappointed with returning to this restaurant. This is my fourth time bringing friends from abroad to dine together. The menu has changed since my last visit, but the food remains delicious. My friends were impressed with the food, ambiance, and service of this place.“
“We found Violet's from another yelp review. We arrived just in time to secure a table on their lovely patio. The ambience is great. We had attentive service and the food was well prepared. It is a limited menu for lunch. We found their Nicoise Salad and burger very tasty and fresh. The dinner menu offers a few more options. We will definately be back..“
“Had a lovely brunch here for Easter - it's a La carte which is different than the usual Easter brunches we have gone too but the food was great - we had shrimp w grits special. My parents loved the salmon and the country fried steak. The pasta for the kids is fresh so it does take longer. The ambience is great as they had live music and the spot is so pretty all wicker chairs and lush green.“

“1st time coming to WeHo Bistro and will definitely be coming back. Our waiter was super friendly and gave excellent recommendations. We celebrated my younger sister's birthday and sitting outside surrounded by the lights was absolutely the cherry on top.“
“The food was delicious and the presentation was like art, the service was excellent, and the ambience of the place itself was beautiful. Visited with a group of friends so we were able to get different plates and try from each others, didn't get to photograph all of them but so good!“
“I think this is about the best French restaurant in California or perhaps the US. This was not the intended destination, but my friend and I were extremely glad that we went, since we're Francophiles!! They feature classically French dishes, but also Italian, making it a bit of fusion cuisine. Okay, a mojito is not French, but it was one of the best I have had in a very long time! I stuck to French cuisine. Started with soup a l'onion. Delicious! A lot of gruyere and the right amount of onions, bread and soup. Next were the escargots in olive oil with a lot of garlic! Yum! Main course was the mussels! Those had to be the largest, most succulent mussels I have ever had! They came with fries, but you really didn't need them. I brought them home. Last was the Napoleon or mille feuille. Creamy! There were three layers: one with just the cream, second with strawberries, and the last with nuts. Wow! Never had one like that!The proprietor was very kind. He brought us our drinks and was very kind when we spoke to him in French. Wait staff was very courteous and we felt no pressure to eat and leave. To show how good this place was, we ended up sitting next to a well known French actor. My friend recognized him first. They say that if people of the same nationality as the restaurant dine there, it's usually a compliment to the restaurant and a testament of the food. Well, that may be so, but we Francophiles will definitely be dining again at this restaurant! Merci beaucoup!“
“My sister and I had the most incredible meal of our lives. Every single bite was decadent. We felt swept away to the French county side. The service was 5 stars and the chef came to our table at the end of the meal. The staff was so authentic and professional. This might be my favorite resturant in California.“
“The food was amazing and the atmosphere was so beautiful! I have no complaints about the location or the service. I did not find the lava cake dessert anything too special but the rolls were so delicious! I had the lamb and my husband had the stew and the presentation for the food was beautiful, it was almost too pretty to eat. It is worth trying out for a very romantic date - don’t waste it on someone casual.“
“I only write reviews when I am impressed by a place or let down. I didn't think that I would enjoy this burger as much as I did. We went there specifically for the Big Mec and it did not disappoint. The sauce was so flavorful and the burger was perfectly cooked. I'm not a big burger person, but I LOVED it! Even though it is on the pricer side, it is definitely worth it! We went on a weekend, and though the place was packed, the service was really good and we got our food fast. It is a smaller place, but it is very cute and you can watch the chefs cooking your food. It is definitely something you should put on your list!“
“GOOD VIBES, WELL PRICED, & DELICIOUS!The owner really cares about the customer's experience. This place is perfect for dining in and taking out. The atmosphere of the restaurant is intentional and charming. Orders come out quickly and with care. The French fold is convenient to eat and tasty. I will definitely come back!“
“I did not have a reservation and the restaurant was really crowded on a Friday night. Yet they gave me space at the bar to enjoy the night as a solo traveller. Had a rose (brut) and some fantastic duck pasta. So so so delicious dinner and you cannot miss the panna cotta, Absolutely loved it as it wanted speed .Enjoyed the music and accompanying wine.Friendly bartenders, waiters and managers. Constantly checking on you making the environment so buzz.“
“We found this place on Yelp when searching for a good brunch spot in the area. We ordered a few chef recommendations including the spicy southern fried chicken burger, peach salad (my friend), spaghetti and a few others. The burger is great and the bun is slightly crispy which is exactly I am looking for in a gourmet burger. The sauce is well balanced with a slight tanginess. I wish the side fried potatoes could be a little more though.I also ordered an Americano. Interestingly they served you a shot of espresso and let yourself add hot water to your like. Appreciate the touch.The place can get busy on a weekend. We only called 15 mins prior to our arrival without reservation, and were pleasantly surprised we had a seat once we checked in.“
“Over the years, Petrossian has remained so consistent with their offerings of not just luxe caviar, but other foodstuffs as well, with great supporting sauces, creams, desserts, etc. Since the pandemic there's a bit of cutting back, though not where it really counts for me. I do miss getting their print catalogs, but their online presence is good and stacks up well against those of other caviar purveyors“
“Definitely have to order several items and share them with the table, the food is absolutely delicious and it's incredibly difficult to describe how amazing it was but it was one of my top experiences, I don't know how I will ever top this restaurant.“
“Five stars! Ludivine Paris is a delightful bakery that transported me right to the streets of Paris. The atmosphere is charming and inviting, and the service is fantastic. But the real star of the show is the baked goods themselves. They're absolutely amazing – flaky, flavorful, and everything you'd expect from a top-notch Parisian bakery.“
“Sweet Lily in LA's Culver City is a delightful French bakery that brings a taste of Paris to the heart of California.

“Excellent service and food the triple cheese burrito is one of the best breakfast burritos I’ve had. Service is also quick and staff is always friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommendParking: Parking behind the building is convenient and free“
“I was very disappointed that you only served the pool menu. That is not what I expecte at The Belvedere. I suggest that in the future you inform people of this limitation when confirming reservations for nights when you are not offering your regular menu. Thank you.“
“I stopped here for breakfast before going to Universal Studios Hollywood as it's located so close. I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere! This is a cute little French cafe. The decor was very thoughtful with French flags and cozy seats. I wish it was night time as it looked like they have lovely fairy lights for the evenings. The person at the register was friendly and our food was fresh made and probably took about 20 minutes to arrive. I ordered the alpine tartine without bacon and it was DIVINE. I really enjoyed it and the mix of Brie, sour cream, egg, potatoes, and bread. I did add some hot sauce and pepper but it was very good. I appreciate the side salad to balance out the heaviness. I did not have space for their pastries but they looked amazing. I will say the one major downside is that they did not have espresso or specialty drinks when I visited which I found disappointing. I got a canned cold coffee which was okay. I would've loved a latte or cappuccino to pair with my breakfast.“
“Service was excellent and food was pretty good. We came during happy hour and were pleased with the half price burgers although very messy. A nice quick meal if you’re attending a show at the nearby theatre.Parking: Underground paid lot- Culver Steps Garage or valet at the hotel“
“A not-so-hidden gem in LA! Definitely one of the best meals, experiences, and service I've had. The food is incredible, especially the Kaspia #3 fried chicken and caviar. It has a cool story behind it too. The bar program perfectly compliments the menu and elevates the craft cocktail game. The overall experience was 10/10. I HIGHLY recommend. Huge shoutout to Ben, Jake, and Chelsie.“
“I am not exaggerating when I say that I have never had better customer service in any environment in my life, and that is saying something. From the host to all of the servers and even the valets. Every single person was utterly delightful and helpful. The food was also lovely.“
“We've been lucky enough to dine at providence, vespertine and meteora and they're really the best comparison for the food and service. The evening was impeccable. Mysteriously, the place was almost empty on a Tuesday—for foodies who want a quietly luxurious dinner and some of the best cocktails around in a beautiful space, snag a Tuesday spot and treat yourself before this place catches on. Sorry if I sound exaggerated; still on a bit of a high from a wonderful evening.“
“Such a pleasant surprise “finding” Massilia hiding in plain sight in Santa Monica. A wonderful blend of European flavors in a setting with a chic vibe. Very reasonable happy hour prices for delicious cocktails and bites. On the dinner menu, pasta entrees (tagliatelle and rigatoni) were both lovely but the true star was the 8-hour lamb shank over pureed potatoes with a Cabernet sauce. It was fall off the bone tender and so flavorful. Our excellent and enthusiastic server, Jonathan, recommended the chocolate mousse for dessert. Heaven in a bowl!!We will be repeat customers, for sure!“
“What a great find. Not many French restaurants in LA and this is a gem. Classic French menu and everything we tried was delicious. While we live a distance from the restaurant, it's so good we'll make the trip to enjoy this place again and again.“
“We always come here to eat with my mom and enjoy it every single time. Liz was our wonderful waiter and was very attentive and helpful. She made the experience very enjoyable per usual and made the start of my day great. Thank you Liz for your wonderful service.“
“I haven't been in over 3 years, and I have to admit, I really don't know why... Maybe it's because we don't live in Tarzana, but that shouldn't matter. My family and I go far and wide -- anywhere in Los Angeles, really - for excellent food. We made reservations for Saturday evening. We were greeted and were taken to our table.Our waiter was absolutely marvelous.He was knowledgeable of all the specials, and he was genuinely friendly and courteous.Overall, the restaurant's atmosphere was clean, moderately quiet, and classy. Food made delicious and very tasty.We are definitely come back.“
“I've wanted to dine here for a while and I finally made it back in June. The intimate dining room has only 5 tables, and a close up view of the kitchen.One of my favorite dishes was the Caviar Deviled Egg, it even had heart shaped waffles on the side! I also enjoyed their pine milk bread and blossom butter that was served with a mushroom broth.There were three main savory dishes.The Red Bream & Scallop "Farci", was my least favorite dish of the menu, it was cooked perfectly, and the sauce looked good, but somehow it all tasted completely flavorless, which was really disappointing.The A5 Wagyu with a ramp stuffed Morel mushroom was amazing, but the main highlight of the meal for me was the Liberty Farm's Duck "Rouennaise". It was delicious and the presentation was really unique.One of the desserts was a cherry sorbet with "dip n dots" which was one of the most flavorful sorbets that i've ever had, and a perfect way to end the meal. This was such a fun and unique experience but it was probably the most expensive 2 star i’ve been to and I don’t think it lived up to the price tag compared to other restaurants i’ve dined at with the same Michelin rating.“

“This was a very good experience for my partner na do. We are not French food experts but I will say the food was quite authentic and would recommend their fish dishes the most. I had salmon over cream sauce, accompanied by squash with tomatoes and snow peas. Everything was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is great and service was among the kindest I can recall. I will recommend this place to friends and family. Any comments on parking are beyond the control of this restaurant. It’s in busy location but you know that going in. The onion soup was also very good but one serving was easy shared with two people.“
“This is a really charming local breakfast and lunch spot. The inside is very cute with lots of pink accents. We came for breakfast and the choice of pastries and breakfast dishes was excellent. I had waffles with Nutella and strawberries which was different from my usual breakfast choice. It was so good I would definitely recommend to anyone. All the staff was moving quickly and brought the food to our table. They also had an outside seating area that was enclosed with a heater because of the cool weather the weekend we were there. It is a little difficult to find as it is located in a plaza setting. Definitely worth the stop here!“
“It was my first time there last night& WOW WHY DID I TAKE SO LONG TO TRY THIS PLACE?! Walking into the restaurant was like a dream, the decor is so pretty and the way the restaurant was arranged is so nice. We sat at the bar& i love how everyone there was so friendly and personal with introducing themselves and making it such a great time. The food was immaculate. I havent eaten at a restaurant where every single dish made me want to savor every bite. 1000/10. Worth every penny.“
“I've been to Harlowe a few times but only when it's a bar and have always enjoyed the vibe there. This time, a friend and I decided to go for dinner. We heard there was a new chef and the menu had changed so we decided to give it a try and we're so happy we did! We started off with the hummus board, which was amazing and chef Alex told us he makes the hummus from scratch. For the main dish, I ordered the burger which was perfectly sized especially for a multi course meal. Lastly, Alex recommended the gelato for dessert. There are three different flavors, and each has their own distinct taste and texture, and are delicious! Highly recommend the "We Are All Mad Here" cocktail to sip on while enjoying Chef Alex's food. Come check it out!“
“A lovely nook offering an oasis amongst the bustle of Beverly Blvd. Marvin greets its visitors with a smattering of unique wines to choose from and aroma's of food who's taste outperforms even the heavenly smells.The service was quick and attentive, with genuine insight into what dishes are most spectacular.We enjoyed the Burrata Toast and Spicy Vodka Rigatoni. The Burrata Toast was a simple, yet decadent must have.Sitting at the bar was an intimate way to enjoy this lovely restaurant. I will certainly return!“
“First time here & it’s an amazing wine bar with excellent ambience. From someone who lives in downtown, the vibe is definitely there. Completely caught off guard and Frank Thomas is security so it’s legit.I stayed at the bar and Omar the bartender is a legend! I had their pepperoni pizza and it was excellent. A diet breaker of a pizza and the fires were excellently cooked.The vibe is definitely there, great people, excellent environment, and I can’t wait to do a full on dinner here in the future.***update***I recently ordered their truffle fries, truffle pizza, a custom charcuterie board & an octopus entree.The truffle fries were cooked perfectly & seasoned just right with the right amount of truffle pieces. The truffle pizza was a solid dinner item, the crust was on point and the flavors were just right.The charcuterie board was a good appetizer option & we choose two meats and one cheese. Solid starter for the night. The octopus was cooked perfectly and probably the most tender piece of octupus I’ve ever tasted. The sauce was alright, but overall I thought it was a solid menu item & still recommend it.“
“Delectable culinary-grade pastries and desserts. All are vegan and they fill the hole that was missing in the vegan dessert field. Now with gluten-free options. Perfection!Vegetarian options: All veganDietary restrictions: Non-dairy, no eggs, with gluten-free options“
“It's hard to give Le Petit Chez Mimi 5-stars when I give Pasjoli 5-stars. But if you want simple but good French cuisine, in a simple, home-like and charming atmosphere, then this place is for you. Whereas Pasjoli is on busy Main Street in Santa Monica, Le Petit Chez Mimi is located at the storefront of a business park, at the T-intersection of Yale and Colorado. I pass by all the time either on the way to work, or running errands, but this place always looked closed: Only open for dinners Tues-Sun, and brunch on Sundays.Therefore I made an effort to finally try this cute little place with my family. The restaurant, the food and the service is very reminiscent of eating at a local cafe in Paris. You know, you walk around, look around and finally pick a place for dinner, any place, because so many of the restaurants in Paris are good. This is how I felt of my first experience at Le Petit Chez Mimi.Many who dined tonight (Friday night) seemed to be regulars and locals. The service staff dressed casually (blue jeans) and the service was good. Whereas Pasjoli, the wait staff are uniformed and professionally trained - what you expect from a Michelin recognized establishment. With Le Petit Chez Mimi, its simply good food, not particularly IG worthy in its presentation.Surprisingly, the prices were higher than I expected. I guess I was expecting a simpler, quaint French cafe to be more reasonably priced. But I guess this is to be expected for French cuisine.Now for my food review:-Escargot. Not bad. I've had better. I felt it needed salt and more of that greenish garlicky sauce (pesto-like.) Please excuse my lack of knowledge of the correct ingredients.-Onion Soup. Excellent! One of the best French Onion soups in town. The portion size was perfect. Sometimes, the portions are so big, you dont have room for the remaining courses, but theirs was perfect. Nice gooey cheese!-Entrées: the 3 of us had 2 different steaks and one pork chop entrée. Again, all were tasty and the steaks were perfectly cooked, but the pork chop was overcooked. This place isn't Michelin-worthy because of the simple presentation (not much presentation at all.)-Dessert: The Tarte Tatin was excellent. It was like warm apple pie with fresh cold whip creme. It was perfectly spiced, slightly tart, and not overly sweet. Someone posted on Yelp! that this was an "award winning" dessert. Hmm, it maybe?Parking: Plenty of parking. No valet service. Self park at the business park adjacent to the restaurant. Very convenient.Wheelchair accessibility: The manager (owner Mimi?) has mobility requirements (wheelchair) so the place is fully accessible.“
“Loved everything about this place. The bldg is gorgeous. The food is amazing (just wish there were a few more choices on the entree section). Heads up... it's loud, especially the live band. But it was worth it overall. Not the best spot for larger parties. Great to meet up with friends and share a great meal!! And try the Airmail! Btw... patio was adorable. Too cold in Feb to sit outside but we will be back I'm sure!“
“Wally's is fantastic and the food is absolutely delicious too! I didn't realize how loud it was until halfway through the evening it was very difficult to carry conversation. If you're looking to have conversation this is hard to do. Also, unfortunately our server was probably one of the worst I have ever had. She never checked on my party, never brought water, never cleared plates. Overall great spot but man the service was AWFUL!“
“Food is delicious all the time. We've been going there for over 15 years. We don't live in the neighborhood anymore but when we visit, we bring quiches and croissants home.Parking: It's Culver city, parking is always tough but we have always found parking on the street next to the park. We even park a little farther to burn some of those brunch calories.“
“This place is amazing the food the owners the staff really all around amazing place and really really great food and the pastry forget about it it's amazing I hope you guys stay in business for many years to come and keep up the great work that you are doing. The ambience is great feels great to be outside“
“What an absolutely delightful surprise! I can't remember what I've had such a good coq au vin, and the cocktails were creative and tasty. My friend got the buckwheat crêpes and they were amazing fluffy and light. Not at all like you would expect. Wonderful evening all around I can't wait to go back again. “
“The pastries here are a must get ! Prices are fair and service friendly. I got the almond croissants which was the best I have had and an apple tart which was also very good. They have some outside tables and parking can be tough because of the location but not usually a far walk. Worth a stop and I think no matter what treat you get it will be good“
“Chef Josette is AMAZING AND KIND!! I called in a birthday cake order to he delivered to my dad and his twin brother. Chef Josette took care of everything and delivered the most beautiful cake along with a few Easter cookies. My dad was thrilled and said it tasted as good as it looked! Thank you so much and I can't wait to vivisection your bakery from Kansas when I visit!“
“What a great evening. I think my experience was a bit unique. Friday 6pm before Mother's Day. We got lucky to be the only reservation... ya the only people in the restaurant. Completely dark room with us in the center celebrating Mother's Day. I'm shocked they stayed open for us. They truly made it special for my wife. Our server was amazing and attentive, she went out of her way. Brought my wife chocolate, wrote her a Mother's Day card and guided us through it the experience. Food I would give 4 starts, it was flavorful and presentation was great but just a bit too over sauced for me personally.“
“I just gave a shower in the new smaller private room and I couldn't recommend it more if you are hosting a small event! The room is beautiful, Henry and his staff could not be nicer or more helpful and the food was absolutely delicious! All of the servers were kind and attentive. Melissa who helped coordinate the event was so sweet and patient with me and all of my questions. Thanks to all of them for making the day do special!“
