A little piece of Paris in LA. The coq au vin was exceptional, and the wine list is heavily French-focused with excellent choices. The atmosphere is elegant and romantic.

Michelle M.

French technique meets California ingredients beautifully. The duck confit was perfectly prepared, and the crème brûlée was the ideal finish. Impeccable service throughout.
