“Best kept secret”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2012 NEW

This is an amazing restaurant. Only a little door marks the place. No announcement of any kind. The food is fantastic, and it's romance factor adds value to any date. Not cheap. More

“France, this side of the Pond!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2012

Everything was good from beginning to the end. Starting with the bread and their special blended olive oil to the flourless dessert! Tip, the drinks are pricey - $18 for a mimosa! More

Hidden restaurant with great atmosphere and enticing menu.. Loved the twinkling lights and outdoor feel. Service was quite good. My colleague is a graduate of Johnson and Wales. She too was quite impressed. No complaints, only rave reviews. More

“LA's answer to Cafe Rouge - ish....”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

I'm pretty surprised by how many rave reviews this place has. Maybe it's a culture thing - being here in Europe, we may have different expectations of French food, but when we visited in September, we were pretty disappointed by barely average food. If you're from the UK and have been to Cafe Rouge - well, Cafe Rouge is better,... More

But ya know, they get it right. The onion soup, is out of control good, the patisserie is also hard to beat. Please tell me where to get a better Croissant, Almond Croissant or Pain du Chocolat? A scrumptious assortment of house made jams, chutneys, pickled items and macaroons to take home, could make the $20 lunch special a lot... More

“Fresh food, cool place.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011

First, the attention was really nice, they were really friendly guys. The place was very cool, and the cooper? tables had that bar air. My food was simple yet delicious, all fresh ingredients and nicely done. They have a good wine menu, something to point. Oh, they gave a cake to my friend's husband mom because of her birthday, nice... More
