This place is so great! The drinks were delicious. It was Kentucky Derby Day so I got a Mint Julep. All my friends enjoyed their craft cocktails as well. I did mostly shared apps and each one was delicious. I mixed the meatballs and the truffle mac. Sweet potato bombs were a hit. Zucchini fries were excellent! Far enough away from the Pier to find a parking spot. Everyone was really nice. I was able to get seated and wait comfortably for all my friends to show up late. :)

Michael, his food runner and Liam could not have been more accommodating (and helpful....!) to our party of 5 at 6:30 Saturday night. The ambiance is relaxing rustic country cozy. Food was great too! (Burger, vegan salad, truffle mac & cheese, glazed salmon, yam tater tots and chicken pot pie.) ??
I will NOT be back to this location. I typically frequent the Manhattan and Redondo Beach locations but wanted to give this one a try. Service was EXTREMELY poor. It felt as if the two tables were getting checked in on but my table wasn't, and it was only 2 of us. After waiting for syrup for over 10 mins after receiving my food I have to go up to the bar and request some after the server “forgot”.

Very nice experience all around in this boutique bistro. Yummy food for lunch, and the waiter was great!

From the host at the door to the wait staff and everyone else we encountered, the Rockefeller service was excellent and friendly. Three of us shared some appetizers and then we each had entrees that were so delicious and cooked exactly as we requested! We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Rockefeller and will return when we are back in California.

This place was good. The drinks were good. The food was good. The atmosphere is lovely. The service was respectable. We had a nice time and now I'm just gonna keep typing so that I can use 50 characters so that I can post this review because it won't post without 50 characters.

I like this place. Portions used to be bigger I swear. Ordered to go and wasn't filled afterwards. Biden economy. Same quality but just wasn't enough. Carbonera was great! Will update maybe just off that night.

Crepes lovers paradise!!! I don't live in LA but this place was on my list. I must say yum, yum yum. I still sometimes day dream of the Pigalle.

Absolutely delicious! Great hospitality and the best Carbonara I've had in a long time hands down. Such a cute restaurant with great vibe in a great location! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Always a good experience here. Delicious menu - on this visit we shared a few plates. Business lunch, the main dining was packed as always but they gave us a table in back where we could have a productive meeting. Highly recommend, for any occasion!
Im a fan of the redondo beach location, but the HB location never fails to disappoint. The staff has given me a horrible experience the two times I've tried to give this location a chance. The staff create a negative ambiance and do not listen to food orders correctly. First I was told the ingredients for my omelette were not available, I order different ingredients, then they bring the omelette with the original ingredients ordered... my sister specifically said "no cheese" in her meal due to her allergy and they bring her meal with cheese! Then I order a Cholula sauce bottle and they bring me an empty bottle... I ask for a different bottle and I was told that was the last bottle and there was nothing they can do so I proceed to find a Cholula bottle from a different table where the sauce is not being used. Also, the female waitress and the woman who served the plates proceeded to mock me behind the counter when I asked for the Cholula and talked negative. The staff is immature and irresponsible while working.

My friend and I stopped in for a beverage and our bartender Andre was wonderful. He recommended a beverage for us and it couldn't have been better. It was delicious and satisfying on a cold day. I would highly recommend him and this restaurant we are going to come back another day for food. Everything smelt delicious in there and look delicious. We had already eaten a sandwich earlier otherwise we would have eaten there. The place is very quaint and small, but so cozy, I would highly recommend going there. Everything looks great. The menu looks great and they have quite a few specials on different days of the week as well as a special for Valentine's Day. You can't go wrong I wanna go back for the specials or just for the regular menu salads look great. They have an onion soup that sounds delicious and escargot. I love escargot they have beef Bourgon and I love that, I really can't wait to go back. If I could've eaten today I would've ordered food. He said that the beef Bourgon was delicious so I will be going back to try that but there's so many things I want to try. They have quiche the soup, the escargot the salads everything sounds delicious. I'm making myself hungry at this point, and again at the place was cozy and nice. My friend says she wants to go back as well so we'll be making another trip there, you can't go wrong with any of the food as well as the service we were able to meet the owner he was very nice and super polite. Everybody there is so nice so if you're looking for a place to eat and good service, this is a place to go as well as the ambience not to be missed

Very good French cafe that's well priced and great breakfast and lunch options. Their side of potatoes is literally heavenlly. Can't go wrong with any of the buckwheat crepes as well

French crepes are thin & delicate,yes? Here the crepes are more like American pancakes. Maybe it's a specific region in France? Over the years I've tried sweet & savory options, ending up pawning them off to my dining mates. I switched to turkey & brie sandwich, which used to be amazing with fresh roasted turkey. Now it's processed deli meat. I understand the cost situation, maybe offer a chicken one that you prep in house? That would help the non-crepe peeps.

Crepes are tasty and the vibes are immaculate. There is a lot of patio outdoor seating that is dog friendly. Service however is really slow - it took a long time to get someone to take our order and then it took almost an hour for us to get someone to come with the check.
