“We loved our experience here. Attentive service and really good food. My only critique as a person with food allergies is that I wish those were listed on the menu (GF, V, DF, etc). A gluten free toast option would be amazing too, but I’ll take what I can get!“
“The initial attraction to this restaurant was simple. A Michelin star, and there's a cheeseburger on the menu?!? Sign me up. The decor and ambiance of the restaurant was modern, minimal, and comfortable. We were greeted with a delicious amuse bouche of creme fraiche and green onion with some sort of crunchy vessel holding it together. Then we moved onto the baguette, which, while delicious, I would probably pass on my next visit. Then came the onion tartine, which, in my opinion, was the highlight of the meal. Perfectly blistered gruyere cheese over caramelized onions and delicious fresh bread drizzled with a duck fat reduction tableside. Think of it as a perfectly executed inverted French onion soup. Then came the burger. Upon arrival, it was announced as a 50/50 blend of ribeye and duck, smoked gouda, and caramelized onions on an incredible brioche bun. I've had a lot of burgers, and none of them even came close to this one. Perfectly cooked, lovely char, and incredible flavor. We ordered the Madeira mushroom risotto as a side dish, and that was delicious as well. Every course was perfectly spaced out, and the wait staff never missed a beat. The overall experience was faultless, and I can't wait for another special occasion to return.“
“Came in with my partner and the interior was small and so it felt a bit tight, but the servers knew how to work around the space well! They were also super friendly without being overbearing and the food that we ordered was so good! I got the omurice and my partner got the hayashi dish. I preferred mine over his and their miso soup was paired really well with the omurice :)I would come back again to try their breakfast and bento mealsParking: There are paid parking lots around the area or if you’re lucky, street parking for 1-2 hoursWheelchair accessibility: I don’t think it would be easy for a wheelchair user to be able to dine inside due to the space but if they moved a few chairs around, it’s possible! They also have outdoor seating as well“
“You have to go to l'Appart by Air Food to experience a delicious French bistrot ambiance. The ambiance outside is very friendly, covid-safe and cosy. The dishes are beyond delicious. Yesterday I had the Plat du Jour with delicious scallops and home made very tasty mash potato puree. The plate are so beautifully presented - it is a pleasure to look. The desserts were delicious as well. There is a shade that separates the table from the streets for privacy. Free parking in the corner street. Brigitte the waitress is very welcoming and the owner / chef are beyond nice. An address to discover !“
“Oriel is a modern wine bar/bistry that serves french food. The food is simple but tasty and the service is great. They have a pretty good sized wine list and a lot of food options as well. The atmosphere is great, with a cozy patio and interior. This is a lovely gem tucked in the quieter part of Chinatown and is a great spot to catch up with friends or for a date night. Tons of easy parking right in front of the restaurant and it’s located under the train line by the Chinatown metro station.“
“I have been going to Taix for almost 20 years and have gotten to know many of the staff. They always remember me and also my usual drink and escargot order. I feel like I am going home when I go there. There are not many places like this anymore. It is truly a special restaurant and bar“
“I fkn love this place! We have been coming to The Cauldron since 2019 and every year it's like the first. Everything about this spot is magical and intriguing. The drink are mouth watering and the food is delicious. We fall in love with this place and each other all over again every year.“
“French wine bar in DTLA - definitely a hidden gem tucked away in a mall (?) entrance but absolutely worth the visit. Well-curated wine list, almost exclusively French staff who will charm you away with their wittiness and hospitality. We specifically enjoyed the scallops with black truffle and the garlic bread (sorry but it’s too die for). Can also recommend the escargot if you enjoy the texture - the taste was on point. Would definitely recommend for a laid back dinner vibe with friends“
“I ended up here on a tuesday evening while waiting for my bus. Delicious drinks in a lovely building with good ambiance and incredible bartenders. I’m indecisive and I don’t know what I like and they helped me find out. They hold events frequently so make sure to come often; I’m sure this will become my new favorite spot.Food review will come when I have the chance to chow down some of it.“
“I LOVE this place! The food is always amazing whether dine in or take out, I'm salivating. The servers are so kind and do their job well. And the VIBES! that place is so cute they either have live music or some good jams playing in the resturant. I take everyone I know here. Can't wait for my next visit ?“

“What a great surprise! My daughter and I spent the morning at the flower market and wanted a small, cozy place to eat lunch and talk. We love French everything and found this place on Yelp. It was literally a 5 min drive from the flower market and we found a parking space on the street with no issues (metered parking). The area was clean and safe. Let me tell you about the menu - the variety was great with a list of savory and sweet crepes with salads and sandwiches too. You could get bottled drinks or soda fountain. The service was very efficient - order at the counter, find a table (indoor or outdoor) and then the found came out hot and delicious. My daughter and I shared a sweet one called the Royal with Nutella, banana and strawberry and I ordered the Paris with chicken, mushrooms and a creamy sauce. Portion size was just right - not too filling but a nice amount. The decor is so cute and the small space feels bigger. It's a hidden gem and I highly recommend.“
“We were here for a Saturday Brunch with a party of 8. The service was good, and our waiter was nice and very patient with us. Food was served quickly and, for the most part, was delicious. Everyone who ordered eggs was unhappy and didn't eat them. They did not taste like anything at all, and the texture was watery. We were also a little disappointed in how greasy the bacon was. Overall, not bad.. just expected a little more quality for the price.“

“Having lunch with my daughter is a tradition at Mimi. We love the food. The tomato basil soup is amazing and her favorite. I just had to order the turkey dinner which was fantastic. Tony C. took great care of us. Service was quick and attentive.“
