There is nothing not to like about this place....except maybe the price. Considering the quality and amount if food, though, it's worth it. The truffle Egg is the bomb. I had the John Dory and the duck and the quality was phenomenal. I also recommend the souffle to finish off the meal.

Not impressive at all. The food is average and pricey. The stake is trouble coming from Chicago. The scallop is dry
The waiter is so mean and rushing take the plate without excuse me. I will not recommend this place at all.

The food was good, service was good. My sister's birthday was awesome, we all celebrated her birthday in a nice quiet room, but it got hot, we didn't get enough cool air, and that got uncomfortable for most of us.we were 10 in our party. We told them that we were hot and that we were not getting...

Overrated. Meal was not up to par with what we expected. Our waiter was excellent but the other servers were not very attentive and gave incorrect descriptions of several dishes we were served. Overall it felt like a very tired experience and food that was too rich without real flavor.

The service was really subpar, too many tables and not enough staff. This led to the wine pairing coming after we had finished the course. No question the food is good but no better than restaurants far less expensive, like rustic canyon across the street, making it hard to justify the price tag whe...

Food was delicious. The truffle egg was my favorite dish. The experience was flawless. Waitstaff was informed and courteous. They where attentive to my needs and wants as a vegetarian and made menu adjustments tailored specifically for me. If you get the chance to make a reservation here please do.

Only got delivery from this place during COVID and let's just say it's one of the best best decision I've made during COVID! Delicious delicious I love the chicken sandwiches and wings! Rebaked both after getting the delivery.

Pommes mousseline. More butter than potato but it will be the best thing you've ever consumed. Jidori chicken. Do the chef's tasting. Always a treat. Brian Kalliel- the sommelier- is the best in California. Let him choose all of the wine and you will have the best meal "experience" you've had ...

My favorite number one restaurant in LA. I was sad to see the old cucumber dish was gone, but all the new menu was just as good or even better. I love that all the flavor is so natural from the ingredients, never over powered by seasoning which many restaurants do in LA. The wine paring was unique a...

Downright terrific. Two Michelin stars? Easily worth three. Impeccable, exquisite and precious. The plating, the tastes, the flavor profiles - just spot on. That coddled egg caviar with the cauliflower mousseline and the creme fraiche/whipped cream with lemon zest topped with caviar? Th...

Your experience starts with the first person who greets you. Hostess sits us and first thing she tells us the CDC only allows 1.5hours to eat. My wife who is already hangry then starts to panic thinking we are not going to have enough time to eat. I spend to much time trying to figure out what adult...

We had the 10 course meal. It was great!! The waiters and staff are attentive to your needs and requests. It is one of the great places to go for a special occasion. Please be aware that meal times are 3-4 hours for the 10 course meal. Overall, an excellent experience for french food in LA.

Prices are good, the prep time is very quick, the service is great, and the food quality is rather good. I would advise dine-in, because sometimes take-out or delivery can cool off.

The combo plate comes with a good mix of salad and hummus, and the meat portions are generous.

Just like most french restaurants, it's a prix-fixe menu, which usually makes for an interesting dining experience. The ambiance is nice, and the wait-staff is relatively well trained and personable. The food itself attempted to be creative, but was truly forgettable.

I think this restaurant is n...

Had a high expectation before going there, but the dining experience wasn't anything specially. Ordered 4 courses meal, add couple courses from other menus. I admit that they are good food, but definitely do not deserve 2 Michelin stars. The service is what disappointed me the most, take forever for...

We got the prix fixe menu with the wine. It was good, the wine and sommelier was the best part. Great date spot, good service, good sized portions (we were both full by the end, which doesn't always happen with tasting menus). However it was not one of the best meals I've eaten, I ended up eating so...

This restaurant while attempts to be the equivalent of a Michelin restaurant, it just does not match up. The menu looked very interesting, the entry level tasting menu was $150, however to really get something of interest you have to add in $50, yes $50, supplements. So, the $150 menu really was $...

Overpriced - limited choices
Only three menu choices: 4 course selection $135, 7 course selection $165 and 10 course selection $195. Options in 4 course limited unless pay supplement of $15 plus dollars.
We do not go to expensive French restaurants to rush, but it took way too long between courses...

I've been to this restaurant a few times, and I must say the food is always great! Try the lamb shank, and you'll know what I mean by great. The staffs are nice, and the ambiance is perfect for a romantic dinner. It is great to go to a restaurant where the service is always good. I recommend it high...

Go here for more than a meal. Everyone that works here is exceptional at serving the customer. The entire experience from start to finish is a little hard to describe. I will say this though - we were there with a baby that occasionally needed to be taken outside to keep entertained. Without even as...

I've never had such awful service at a fine dining restaurant. Our waitress seemed over whelmed with too many tables and decided to focus on some and not others...I guess we weren't ordering enough drinks, but then I couldn't get her attention to order more.

When asked how our meal was we mention...

This was a birthday dinner and it was awesome! The food was delicious, everyone was very friendly, Professional, and our waiter's timing was perfection. In today's food world. Really do I experience something that professional waitress and waiter's performed in the 80's. Timing!

Great French cuisine experience from an L.A. restaurant! Be prepared for a series of small portions that are great tasting. Service is good, but be patient and indulge in conversation while waiting for each serving. Pricey, but I'll visit again.
