The staff were friendly and attentive, taking the time to explain each dish we ordered and thoughtfully checking in about our dietary preferences. The space is on the darker side but adds to the overall ambiance. The burger was slightly saltier than our palate prefers, but everything else we tried was very good."

Flavor profiles of the food was next level. The orange beurre blanc for the scallops was incredible and unlike anything I’ve ever even tasted for seafood. Scallops melt in the mouth and fondant potatoes cleverly cut and shaped like the scallops. Attention to detail both visually and palette-wise was really enjoyable to experience. Wife got the steak frites, which she enjoyed - and I quite enjoyed some of her fries. Delicious seasoning on the fries and the sauce au poivre was excellent. Crown jewel of the evening was the chocolate mousse. WOW. Portioned perfectly for two, rich with flavor (if you LOVE chocolate, this is a must), probably the best chocolate mousse dish I’ve ever had hands-down. Just thinking about it makes me want to go back again. What a seriously special treat! These guys are cooking!"

Endive Salad: anticipated a little more leafy endive but the salad was majority shaved pear. Still very good! 4/5 Maitake: take on fish and chips! Lightly battered and perfectly fried. 5/5 Steak frites: delicious! Perfectly cooked and seasoned. The sauce au poivre, chefs kiss. I could have another order with fries to dip! Great drinks and service! Perfect date night or girls nice. Intimate space!"

I took my partner here for his 42nd birthday as he always wanted to experience a pressed duck situation and was geeking out over it. The staff from the front of house, to our server to the chef who came out to do the pressed duck show were all in jovial spirits and super fun to be around. The food, was insane and highly recommend trying the experience out! The rest of the menu looks great too so we’ll definitely be back. The cocktails were also on point. I made a request for a birthday drink surprise for my partner and they were super responsive and helpful to make it happen seamlessly. Shout out to Kandi for being so kind and offering to take a pic for us at the end of the night!"

The biggest downside was the portion sizes. Some dishes were ridiculously small. The onion soup felt more like a kid’s portion, and the fish dish at $29 for essentially one crêpe was hard to justify. That said, there were definite highlights. The beef tartare was excellent, and the Sunday dessert was really good. We’d also heard the burger was one of the best in LA, but it was just OK, not bad, but nothing memorable enough to make us want to come back for it."
