“My wife and I had a last minute great dinner at Coucou. We coincidentally happened to dine on Martini Monday, which was truly a great deal including their fantastic Burger Americaine and a top-notch dirty martini. We also shared the steak frites (prepared perfectly with tasty fries) and would never miss the soft serve sundae! It's great to have such a wonderful and comfortable french-style bistro in the neighborhood, and we'll be thrilled to return soon! Thank you very much for the fun, spontaneous evening!“

“En Petit Trois, la cocina habla por sí sola. Tanto la hamburguesa como el pescado destacan por una técnica precisa y una ejecución impecable, donde cada elemento está en perfecto equilibrio; dos platillos memorables, difíciles de jerarquizar. Aunque no fue posible degustar la coctelería debido a la política de requerir pasaporte físico para el servicio de alcohol, la propuesta gastronómica se sostiene con absoluta solidez. Una experiencia sobria, bien lograda y digna de repetirse.“

“Excellent food and service. Thank you!“

“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.“

“We had an incredible evening at La Monique. The food and ambiance is absolutely perfect. Our server Brian really made the evening. He is attentive, patient and knowledgeable. I can’t explain how nice it felt to be so taken care of. In LA it’s harder and harder to find this combo of quality food, and even better service. Cannot recommend this spot enough!“

“Since they have introduced VEGAN soups, the delite of this has brought in many others besideS myself MORE OFTEN! They started a few weeks ago with a potato porage type soup which was so delicious, we had hard time not ordering more...the second vegan soup was one with garbanzo beans with other really delicious quality CONTENTS & taste. "PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK"...Great Now!!!!“

“We are so happy Régalade has joined the neighborhood and it is hands down the best new restaurant we’ve tried this year!! With so many Italian spots around here, it’s so nice to finally have a really (really) good French restaurant on west third street.

We got the warm baguette with butter, the salade verte with warm goat cheese (I will be trying to recreate this dressing at home), French onion soup (insane), and steak frites (perfection). Everything was amazing, but the apple tartine… I’m not kidding, it might be one of the best desserts I’ve ever had??? I wasn’t drinking but the cocktails looked excellent as well.

Also the service was so good. Everyone was genuinely nice and it just felt like one of those places you want to become a regular at. We’re already excited to go back!!!“

“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.“

“Going to Shirley Brassiere which is inside the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel is such an exciting experience!  From the Valet to going up the famous steps, peeking into the lobby as you walk into the restaurant ...it's very elegant, a lot of history, mystery and super beautiful.  The restaurant feels old-school Hollywood. The vibe we had an old-school so we had martini's and they were served up nice and cold!  We had an incredible paté appetizer and a charcuterie board which was very nice, not too heavy and perfect with our cocktails.  Then we moved onto our main dishes. I had beef bourguignon and my friend had a chicken dish. Total comfort food served in small portions. I had a nice wine pairing recommended by our waiter. We definitely had dessert- I had a fruit tart, and my friend had a chocolate mousse. We had a relaxed wonderful meal with great ambience. We left feeling great and hope to go back again soon!“

“My husband and I are currently here having a very romantic Valentine's Day dinner the atmosphere is definitely very romantic dark except for candlelights all around us or servers amazing the food is delicious what a wonderful little restaurant that my husband chose to celebrate Valentine's Day“

“My first time dining at Fete Bistro. Great value and so wonderful to eat a French meal with the accordion windows open. I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes, steak tartare, French onion soup and all of their entrees. My husband had the sea bass special and he said it was one of the best prepared sea bass dishes he's ever eaten. The crème brûlée and pistachio cheese cake were both decadent and delicious. We drank pear martinis and Slay Estate Pinot Noir. We will be back!!“

“Run, don’t walk. A fabulous find in the south bay! As good as it gets outside of France. Maybe better.“

“The chef's restaurant is upscale but cozy, with only 5 tables, all across from the open air kitchen. The chef and waiter collaborate to serve you each dish, telling you the ingredients that go into each dish... like little stories. Such a special experience!“

“Very good food, authentic French tacos !“

“The service was top notch. There is also a rooftop pool overlooking the city. Cool!☺“

“Our server was excellent particularly being patient in describing menu items to my 104 year old mother in law who is hard of hearing. There is a very nice variety of appetizers and main dishes. It is one of those restaurants where it is hard to decide what to order because so many things sound good.“

“nice people, nice baked goods, good coffee, what else? just go see by yourself you'll like it:)“

“This creperie is super cozy, even though it's a bit hidden because of construction. But it's open and they're really welcoming! Prices are low, and the vibe is cool. I really liked the savory crepe, it was interesting and tasty. The sweet one I got wasn't amazing, but it was still fine. They also have tea and coffee.“

“Bright refreshing cool drinks“

“Best kosher bakery!!! Variety of cakes, tarts, best sourdough and multigrain bread! They have gluten free items per request and always happy to accommodate!“

“Everything I've had from here has been extraordinary. My favorite was a croissant-muffin filled with raspberry creme. Magical. The textures are perfect without being greasy. The savory treats are excellent, too. Note: I had no luck trying to find the Palms location. Best to go to the Maisan Macha stand at the Mar Vista farmer's market on Sundays. Come early before your favorites sell out! Updated from previous review on 2025-08-30“

“We've been loyal fans of Zinque especially the location i Century City. The last 2 times I was there 1st my husband had the 1/2 Rotisserie Chicken and he got sick. Last night I ordered it and got violently ill. I will return but not for the chicken.“
