    One of the best meals we’ve had in LA. Perfect restaurant to celebrate our anniversary at. The duck frites was OUTSTANDING! The oysters were so fresh and delicious. The chicken liver mousse toast was truly out of this world. We will definitely be coming back here for more celebration dinners.

    Always a professional staff working in an open kitchen with practiced ease and quality. Seating is quick and welcoming. Menu is small but everything that I’ve tried is Paris/Lyon French bistro quality or better. Could not be happier on every visit. Believe the outstanding food reviews.
