Foods are great, chill vibe, kind and friendly services. My French gf wanted to take me to authentic French restaurant in LA, she picked this one et voila. We both liked it. Most of servers also were able to speak French.

Being French you can trust me when I state this is the Best French Restaurant in Los Angeles County Each and every dishes was succulent, cooked to the perfection. We were served with the most impressive food and the most amazing service experience I ever had. We’ll be back over and over again. Thank to all the impressive professional staff. Chef Bruno and Fabienne extended the French tradition to the perfection

Food was good. Our server though was practically non-existent. She only came around a couple of times to check on us. I understand they are understaffed, but it's not a big place so it's not much of an effort to see if we were okay or needed anything.
