Le Petit Paris

First time here with friends, one of which had been there and recommended it. It was all a lovely experience, the food and atmosphere. And the service was great up to the end when a few of us had to leave promptly for a meeting, and when we asked to have the checks split our waiter was clearly annoyed. That’s the only reason I gave four instead of five stars for the service. But overall, still great.

We have been coming to Le Petit for years now and bringing all our friends because this place is so beautiful and the food is amazing. I have never had a bad dinner here, and their events are spectacular. The live music and dancers are always great, and there is even a great bar downstairs.

As a French restaurant, the overall experience couldn't be worse, you have to ask for everything from the waiter, they are basically serving people randomly and yet charging 20% minimum for gratuity. The food is also mediocre and overcooked, I couldn't believe even the dessert tastes bitter (I ordered apple tart). Most importantly, they don't tell you about the surcharge and if you ask, they will show you it says on the very bottom of the menu with the smallest font size which nobody will pay attention to. I definitely won't go again, l suggest everyone spend their money elsewhere it's not worth coming here.

From the moment we entered, we were greeted with a warm welcome and excellent service. Our server was attentive without being overbearing, offering thoughtful suggestions throughout the meal. The food was superb – the beef bourguignon was tender, flavorful, and perfectly paired with a glass of red wine. The ambiance was charming, with its cozy atmosphere, soft lighting, and quaint French bistro decor. We felt as if we were dining in the heart of Paris. A wonderful experience all around!

We came here for brunch and loved it. The food was outstanding. The atmosphere lovely. Special shout out to Luca, our server!

This French and European restaurant is a charming haven that transports diners to a bygone era of elegance and sophistication. From the moment you step through the doors, the exquisite decor evokes the ambiance of a Parisian bistro, with ornate details and tasteful accents adorning every corner.During my recent visit on a Friday evening, just before the crowds swelled, I was greeted warmly by the friendly staff. Thanks to the timing of our reservation, we avoided any significant wait, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the enchanting atmosphere without delay.The culinary journey that followed was nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish, meticulously crafted with attention to detail, showcased the rich flavors and culinary expertise of French and European cuisine. From delicate appetizers to decadent entrees, every bite was a delight to the senses.Complementing the exquisite fare were the exceptional drinks, expertly curated to enhance the dining experience. Whether savoring a classic cocktail or exploring the extensive wine list, there was no shortage of libations to accompany our meal.Reflecting on my experience, I wholeheartedly agree that timing is key to fully appreciating the splendor of this establishment. Arriving before the rush allowed us to relish in the ambiance and attentive service, ensuring a truly memorable dining experience. For those seeking to savor the essence of a good restaurant, I highly recommend securing an early reservation, whether during the week or the quiet moments of a weekend, to indulge in all that this culinary gem has to offer.

Hallelujah! Amen! Sweet Pickles! I've never been to France, but I hope the food is this delicious. Demi, our server, was an absolute joy and pointed us in the right food direction. My husband lost his mind over the lemon linguine (WOW), but he wouldn't let me take its picture. I can't wait to come back for more!

The food and atmosphere was superb. The staff was impeccable and attentive. Will come back for drinks and dessert.

Incredible food and incredible service. All food was amazingly delicious. Forgive me if I don't write entirely correctly the dishes but the lobster pasta is phenomenal. Large lobster in the middle of pasta in red sauce. The truffle Parmesan pasta is tasty. And this is coming from someone that prefers a tomato sauce. Let me expand on the truffle pasta. They have this huge maybe 24 inch wheel of cheese. They place a hot boiling flaming type of liquid in it and stir it in the center of the wheel and it slowly melts the cheese. Then they place pasta in the center and let it submerge in cheese goodness. The truffles are large and delicious. It's definitely something to record. Which I did. The snails (escargot) is delicious as well. There also is a fresh tasting citrusy dessert drink they have that is sensational with the dessert. I included some pictures of the meal and it's all that and then some! Wonderful date place. Low music playing. Receptive waiters.

What a treat! We recently celebrated a special occasion at Le Petit Paris, and it was a memorable experience from start to finish. Ambiance: Initially hesitant to go to the downtown LA location, we were pleasantly surprised upon entering the restaurant. The classy interior, attentive staff, and delectable food made it worth the visit. Parking: Parking ranged from $12-$15 for nearby structures, though some charged up to $20. We opted for a $15 parking structure (cash only) and self-parked without any issues. Food: We started with two cocktails, the Kir Royal and Just a Drop. Both were strong and sweet, setting a delightful tone for the evening. Appetizer: The Homemade Brie ($24) was fresh with a subtle truffle flavor--good but not extraordinary. Main Dishes: The highlight was the Cognac Flambéed Truffle Fresh Pasta ($85). Watching our waitress prepare it in the parmesan cheese wheel was captivating, and the taste did not disappoint. The New York Strip Loin 16oz with Béarnaise sauce ($85) was really tender and flavorful enough to enjoy without the sauce. Service: Our server was cheerful, friendly, and exceptionally attentive. Her energy truly enhanced our dinner. Overall: Located in the heart of downtown LA, Le Petit Paris offers a classy atmosphere and an exceptional dining experience, perfect for special occasions.

I really don't like leaving reviews like these but here we are. Lovely spot, lovely food, lovely ambience, great playlist even. But I was here with a large party and we didn't get our food for an hour and a half. Which, large party, fine, whatever, until we discovered that the server forgot to put our order in for an hour. Already not great, but then pulling management aside they declined to take responsibility or any gesture towards making it right. Instead they cast blame solely on the server, despite the fact that the only other person paying attention to the huge table was the bartender racking up the drink bill while everyone got hangrier. And the final insult, full 20% gratuity baked into the check. If we weren't all exhausted from sitting there almost 3 hours we certainly would've made much more of a fuss.

How in the heck have I not given this place a glowing review!? Le Petit was everything! Came here for a pre-birthday celebration of yours truly and the entire experience was phenomenal. From the doorman to the host and ultimately your server was great. Just top notch. The noise level was just above average since there were multiple celebrations happening at once, but that's alright. All the revelry added to the good time. Seems to be the mood for a Saturday night here. Our server tho a bit busy was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Offered great suggestions for wine and drinks. Our youngest is just under the age of 21 so if you're a non drinker, this place offers delicious mock tails to quench your thirst. For my meal I had the duck breast (see photo). It was a culinary masterpiece! Highly recommended. Don't recall if there are any vegetarian options. Finally, you may want to consider not using the valet service here especially on a weekend. Just massive backlog of cars and pedestrians. We had to get out of line and find parking a block away...no biggie. Overall: If you wanna spoil yourself with a fine dining experience that will leave you looking forward to a future visit...do come to Le Petit Paris.

Completely lived up to the hype! Incredibly delicious dinner with my family. We enjoyed splitting many plates, I recommend 2 things person. We got about 10 things for 6 people and that was enough because we had a late lunch. We ate everything quickly it was soooo delicious! My favorites were the linguine, yellowtail ceviche, and oysters. There was a cabaret event happening during dinner in honor of the Cannes Film Festival. It was so fun and so well done that I'll definitely be checking their website for other events to bring visitors to.

Great atmosphere, fantastic customer service, delicious food I had the cheese wheel truffles- check out my video of my experience- a really cool Bar underneath go check them out after dinner

Fancy French place. As other Yelpers have mentioned, the interior is fantastic. Cocktails were great. Got the French onion soup (very good), the escargot (get the bread with it), the truffle pasta flamey thing, and the sea bass. Now. I know the truffle pasta thing is one of their signature courses, and it is very very good. They use white truffle in the sauce, and sprinkle a generous amount of shaved black truffle on top, and the server brings this huge wheel of parmesan and sets part of it on fire, then mixes the pasta in with it (which is probably why this is $85 - truffles + dinner and a show). That being said, I probably would not get it again. The sea bass was well made, but I felt was meh in flavor. The winner of the night was probably the French onion soup and the escargot. The cocktails were pretty good too. I'd be down for going back for drinks and small plates next time. (From Feb 25, 2022)

We went on a Monday night so it was pretty quiet. There were a few other diners. We were greeted and served quickly and everyone was professional. The server gave us recommendations for wine which were spot on. The food was delicious albeit a bit pricey. I would go again.

My daughter and I were in the area for a nearby concert. We made reservations ahead of time for a nice mommy/daughter meal. We decided on Le Petit for a "fancy" meal. The restaurant had just reopened for dinner service, so it was pretty empty other than a few people enjoying drinks at the bar. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and was so calm. We had really good service, our waiter was very attentive. My daughter loved her pizza. I tried a bite and thought it was very fresh and perfectly cooked. My beef plate was delicious. The vegetables and potatoes paired very well with the sauce. If we are ever in the area, we would stop in again.

Great service, great food, great atmosphere. I like everything about this French restaurant. I give 5stars

Our reservation was for 8pm on a Tuesday so it wasn't packed. It was very open, not noisy at all and the food was great. I couldn't have spent my birthday a better way.

This place was great! I came here on a Thursday night and it wasn't too crowded. The restaurant is dark inside, but not too dark to be annoying. The music also wasn't too loud, which was perfect. I ordered the cheeseburger and fries. The cheeseburger was delicious, but a bit messy because of the sauce it was sitting in. The fries were good. Borderline salty, but very crispy and tasty. The service could have been a bit better, but overall I enjoyed my experience and would return!

I really loved this place! Tim was our server and he really went above and beyond for my husband and I. It was our wedding anniversary and he even took cool pics with a flaming candle and gave complimentary champagne. What I really liked about this place was the truffle cheese wheel pasta. It is kinda pricey but for me being a pasta lover it is well worth it once in a while for a special occasion. The truffle and pasta are both flavorful and it is cooked with alcohol on a big wheel of cheese. They mix it in front of you and Tim explained the process and provided a small flambé show of the pasta and cheese...very social media post worthy like. I would go again for another special event bc I really think the pasta is worth it. Also their drinks are pretty strong I especially liked the whiskey I forgot what it was called but it was good. I will say this place is not super family oriented, it's more for a date night. The lights are dim, but the ambiance is super pretty!

Beautiful ambiance - only thing missing is a pianist. The food is delicate and tasty. The servers are gracious and welcoming. A great place for a romantic date night.

Very yummy authentic French fare. Even the servers are French. I had a kir royale, soupe à l'oignion followed by a steak tartare. Friends had escargots followed by steak frites and braised duck. Cocktail was a Petite Fleur (a gin & tonic with a sweat pea flower turning the drink purple) which was definitely enjoyed by gin lover. Dessert was a decadent chocolate lava cake which was perfect and unfortunately forgot to take a photo as we were so eager to try it. Nothing adventurous or unique but why mess with the classics? Food was enjoyable and so was the setting. Very attentive service and pleasant French speaking staff. Merci!

The pre fixed menu was pretty good but not the best in my opinion. The experience was fast and food wasn't as warm as I thought it would be. I assume they made pre plated dishes to keep up with the courses which allowed the food temp to drop. Overall it had flavor. The dessert was dry and too sweet for me. The service was attentive and good. The ambiance was great wish the food was just as great as the decor.

I loved this restaurant. It has a beautiful aesthetic, the service is fantastic, and the food is good. The entire staff - from the hostess to the bus person to the manager - went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and to make our experience enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant.

For $18 Valet service and the expensive food, Im not sure why the tables we were seated for were just so improvised looking. (Party of 9 with reservations). The food itself were relatively good but def not worth the price, the truffles they put ontop were definitely precut a while ago so if you have the truffle and nothing else it actually just taste like sliced potato with 0 flavor. Also the cheese wheel pasta was $88 dollars and although not bad, definitely not worth.

If you are new to French Food then great but as a French Parisian no as expected, overprice, ... in Los Angeles French restaurant are just ok. Fly to France first ... then you will know ... Won't be back Merci

Things are a hit or miss at Le Petit Paris. Thankfully, most of their dishes are phenomenal. It's such a cute restaurant and is dimly lit, but not to the point where it's annoying. The french onion soup, mushroom risotto, and octopus are a must get. The best french onion soup I've ever had and the risotto and octopus were cooked perfectly. The flambeed truffle pasta was surprisingly good and the presentation was fun. I would stay away from the steak dishes since they tend to be overcooked. Parking is somewhat difficult as it's in DTLA but they have a valet service at the front.

This place was so cute and beautiful! The decor made it seem like I was really in Paris. The cognac flamed truffle pasta was to die for! Easily shareable since it was super rich. Everything was good, a little overpriced, but the ambiance made up for it!

The ambiance of this restaurant is definitely one to behold. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with extravagant artwork, floral arrangements, and sculptures. Although the pricing of the dishes are on the expensive end, they still provide great quality. If you order the Mushroom pasta, they cook it right in front of you! The "Flambee" or art of setting the dough on fire, is part of the whole experience. Fresh truffles are added which makes the whole experience well worth it. The lemon Pasta is also a good pick too! The zestiness of the Lemon really accentuates the rich carb texture of the pasta. Another great pick for us was the duck! It was tender, flavorful and worth its cost. I would say that the only caveat here was that the dishes has pretty low portions relative to its price and some of the pasta was undercooked. Because of that, we had to ask to remake one of the dishes. Otherwise, this would be a great date spot, and definitely should reserved for special occasions!

Honestly I had higher expectations from this establishment. The ambiance is romantic, dimly lit and intimate. Service was pretty attentive and our waitress was nice and accommodating. Aside from the food, the overall environment and staff at the restaurant was great! The dishes that we ordered just didn't particularly pique my fancy. The charcuterie was a little bit disappointing, although we had 4 types of meat to choose from, there weren't many toppings aside from plain raw walnuts, cornichons and some whole seed mustard. The meat was also a little dry, so it was a bit tough to chew. I enjoyed the beet carpaccio though, tender, sweet and creamy from the dressing with basil salad being a nice refreshing addition to the dish. I ordered a margherita pizza and unfortunately it wasn't woodfired so it didn't have that smokey flavor that I love. The beef bourguignon was definitely the star of the show, the wine reduction was amazing and the beef cheek was cooked incredibly tender. Didn't try the bone marrow but for $25 for a few pieces of gnocchi with a random side of gnocchi, it's a bit strange to me. It would have went better with bread, in my opinion. Because the ambiance is so intimate, I would highly suggest only taking dates here as I came with a friend and it was pretty awkward for a while LOL. Though my final verdict is that I proobbbably won't be coming back.

Pretty solid French restaurant in DTLA! Interesting vibe, the restaurant sits around a staircase with a band at the top. The hostess said she'd seat us at her favorite spot which is at the top of the stairs. While it was nice, it was a bit loud so we moved across the way. Got cocktails which were okay but nothing to write home about. Our waitress was French, which was nice. We ordered 4 appetizers - the bone marrow, escargots, French onion soup and the grilled octopus - all very delicious but the soup and octopus was probably my favorite! We also shared the seafood entree which was also pretty tasty. Overall a cool spot with good food an ambiance. The band was a little weird playing over top 40 hits but still cool.

Its so cute in here. Very large. Seating upstairs and downstairs. Had a DJ. We sat at the bar. Looks like it is very upscale and fine dining. You will enjoy it wherever you sit. The service was good. The Bartender attended to us. Love this place

Opting for a weekday brunch, I tried the truffle scrambled eggs paired with creme fraiche, which was my favorite part of the meal. The rest of the meal, making up our coffee, French onion soup, and burrata/beet appetizer, was okay. This spot stands as a decent choice for those craving French cuisine; Solid, but not the best within LA's food scene.

The food was really nice . They service was great. They were so attentive even the manager checked on me. I love how everyone who dropped my food and drink off was, they smiled and had a warm presence about them. The ambiance is so romantic and the light had a sexy feel to it. Cute chairs and couches for dinner and even have a patio !

Really cute restaurant and they were very accommodating for our big group. The inside of the restaurant gave Parisian vibes but the outside did not- it was still cute though. I had the chocolate crepe and it was good but not filling. We also had the pine apple ravioli and that was interesting

It's been a few years since I've been here, but Le Petit Paris hasn't lost its touch! Wow, really one of the best restaurants in DTLA. I am in the area for work and realized my hotel was a few blocks away from the restaurant. I was exhausted after meetings all day and decided to place a pick up order. Best decision. I ordered the Beef Bourguignon. Even as a take-out dish, it was fantastic! The perfect meal as the weather turns cold - well cold for California. The only issue I had is that they didn't include utensils. To be fair, not their fault. I showed up just as they were packing the order and was in a rush because the valet allowed me to park in front of the restaurant and I didn't want to hold up their process. In any case, the crusty baguette arguably served as a better utensil. I mean, not the classiest solution but I was eating alone so... c'est la vie...

Le Petit Paris is a pretty dreamy restaurant. It's dark, dim and has a sultry layout. Truly perfect for a date night or celebration. Parking can be difficult but they have valet available for $17. Otherwise, I recommend reservations but they do take walk ins. All of the staff was incredibly welcoming, polite and attentive. Definitely 5 star service. The dinner menu is pretty solid but pricey. I have seen all the viral videos for the cognac flambred pasta so I had to order. $85 and you can order protein for an additional charge. The flambred pasta is definitely a presentation where they pull out a Parmesan wheel and fire up the middle to blend the pasta with the Parmesan. The smell once the wheel is torched is a decadent Parmesan smell and tasted immaculate. The topped truffle and added chicken was to die for. Otherwise, my hubby ordered the truffle cheeseburger($43). He said it was delicious but not worth $43. What really sealed the deal was the lava cake. The chocolate was rich, the cake was moist and the dark chocolate raspberry syrup was superb! The only ding is that the seating is pretty close so it takes away from that private date night feel. The tables are also extremely low along with the chairs so you have no back support so it makes the dining experience a bit uncomfortable. If you have the option I do recommend requesting a booth but they are pretty limited. I did notice there is upstairs dining available as well so maybe the seating options are better. Overall though a really romantic spot.

So lovely that I didn't take any photos! We came for Easter brunch and what a delight. First of all, so many of the staff are actually from France. It was wonderful to chat with them and their expert service. The restaurant has old 1920s vibes with a beautiful staircase as its apex. We started with the ceviche and warm baguette. Both dishes were delicious. The ceviche was served with an unexpected caramelized passion fruit glaze. We then had the mussels, risotto and French onion soup. All three were delicious. TMI did see some outdoor seating but not sure about dog accessibility.

Whoaaa this place is fancy! Maybe not too, too fancy, but it does the job. On a recent trip to LA, my friend and I were looking for a dinner spot to end my trip. It was a Sunday night, raining all day, and I didn't feel like going far. Le Petit Paris is about half a block from my hotel, had high reviews and good-looking dishes, so it was an easy decision. Upon entering, I was surprised at how fancy this restaurant was and how we were able to be seated on a Sunday night at prime time without reservations. The atmosphere is classy and romantic, divided up into different sections. We were seated in a booth/table combo near the back, complete with cushy pillows. We were both not feeling particularly hungry as we had been eating delicious LA food all day. We started with glasses of wine and then enjoyed the following: - Charcuterie board fig & nuts bread - Mussels & fries: white wine, garlic, curry cream - Grilled octopus: potato chips, shishito pepper, garlic aioli - Lava cake: Bourbon vanilla gelato, mixed berry coulis I could barely muster the appetite to eat more than I personally ordered so I did not try my friend's octopus or lava cake, but he assured me both were delicious. We shared the charcuterie board and I ate my mussels. Both were very, very good! The charcuterie board makes you feel super fancy and is a beautiful plate to share. The mussels were cooked perfectly and the fries were a nice addition. They give you a sizeable amount of mussels. For around $25 each, I did not think either dish was overpriced for the atmosphere. This is a great place to enjoy a romantic evening with a date or enjoy a nice night out with girlfriends. I'd definitely come back!

My friend loves French food so every year, we try to visit a new French restaurant for her birthday. I chose Le Petit Paris because the pictures looked absolutely stunning and I can confirm that it looked just as beautiful in person. It was dark, romantic, had a live DJ, and was a perfect spot for girls night or a date night. They have a pretty good happy hour from 5-7 p.m. with $2 oysters so we made dinner reservations for 7:00 p.m. and came a little early for happy hour at the bar upstairs. Their happy hour specials were really good and opened up our appetite for our main meal. Highly recommend checking out their happy hour. Our bartender was super nice and gave us a complimentary birthday shot for my friend. Now onto the main meal, we ordered: 1. Warm 1/2 baguette with butter ($7) 2. Steak tartare ($24) 3. Whole branzino ($54) - presentation for this was exceptional as they light it on fire tableside 4. Filet mignon ($52) 5. Escargot (6 pieces for $19) - this was my first time trying escargot and the amount of butter and garlic kind of threw me off. I guess this is the norm for escargot but that taste stuck in my mouth for the rest of the night. 6. Dessert - 2 scoops of sorbet ($4 per scoop) We also brought a bottle of wine and corkage was a little steep at $45. Overall, we had a great night and enjoyed the dinner. Service was really good and they were constantly attending to our table. Our meal came out to $300 after tip, so it definitely isn't a cheap meal. We also spent $80 during their happy hour which is a little bit more affordable for 2 people. There is limited street parking and valet was I think $16 (they take credit card). There are other paid lots nearby but we decided to valet for the convenience.

The restaurant itself is stunningly beautiful. It is right out of a more elegant time and the decor plays a big part in the experience. The food is very expensive and not overly creative. It's fine, but there are no revelations. The service can feel a bit icy, especially once they notice you aren't ordering with wild abandon. Not sure what goes on upstairs, we have only ever been seated in the middle of the bottom floor. We've been three times and will return again, that's how beautiful the place is. And maybe that is very French, to spend a lot of money to be treated with disdain in a beautiful location.

Decided to celebrate my birthday here. They lighting in the restaurant was relaxing and nice. The music was excellent. I had the nicest server who made sure that I felt celebrated for my event. She constantly checked on us. The food was to die for. I was very pleased!! They made the most amazing Naked & Famous cocktail that's was not even on their list. Amazing

I have been here many times. I take my friends and family here for their birthdays. I love the big pepper as tall as a person. It is amazing to see that pepper when they pour it on your friends dish everybody was having an amazing time taking photos and videos. The food is good. Good service timely and friendly. Parking on the streets and some parking lot under $15 I usually Uber there since I have to drink the staircase is a picture spot and the front door next to hosts has pictures of Paris, Eiffel Tower. Great for some memories with friends pictures.

Came yesterday dinner time to celebrate a birthday. Ambiance great - beautiful inside and music was wonderful, not too loud you can still talk. Service great - ines was our server and she was attentive and sweet. Food mediocre - not worth the price. I ordered mussels which I get at many places because I love mussels, all the mussels in my pot were tiny. I felt like I was eating popcorn. See photo. Less meat in the mussel than the size of my thumbnail. Duck leg confit was ok, duck was dry and that's hard to do with fatty duck meat. Octopus was good but you get one tiny tentacle for the price so beware. The flavor of the food was also just not there. I don't get restaurants that are just for the ambiance and looks but their food is subpar. Other reviews complain of the food as well. You're a restaurant, food should be top priority. Le petit food is the equivalent of say.. if you ask your significant other to take you to a nice Italian restaurant, and they take you to Olive Garden. Don't come with high expectations if you're expecting good Parisian food

Yummy food, nice ambience and friendly staff. we love the food and their drinks! Will comeback again.

DO NOT COME HERE!!! (Note: We are an asian couple in our early 20's so I don't know if that had a factor) I wish i could give this -5 stars. Came for an anniversary dinner with a reservation at 7PM and once we checked in, we had to wait 30 mins still just to sit down. The restaurant was crowded, but they didn't explain the problem or even apologize for the wait. We sat down and had to wait 20 mins for just water! The thing is, the waiter never came so we had to ask for it and ask to order our food as well. After waiting another 30 mins we got our appetizer and of course no water refills unless we ask about 2-3 because we keep getting forgotten. The main course took an hour, another 20 mins to order dessert, and surprise surprise another 30 mins to get the dessert. I think you can already imagine how long the bill took after asked multiple times haha. The thing is, we never even knew who our server actually was because we had to ask so many people throughout the night. There was a table next to us that was experiencing the same thing, but an older couple that received everything super quick. I don't know if this was an off night or something but I never would've imagined spending 3+ hrs at a restaurant.

Idea date night location! The dim lighting does wonders for romance! Food: Started the night with the zucchini fries with the dill dip. They are made in this light tempura batter so they're a great app. The steak frites were ordered medium rare and upgraded to the mashed potatoes with a side of asparagus. The steak was tender and seasoned well. I recommend you dip the steak in the gravy and top with a little of the mashed potatoes for the perfect bite. Service : I made the reservation a few days before dinner. Staff called to confirm my reservation and if any celebration was taking place. I appreciate the touch. Our waiter was a little slow to refill our wine but overall the service was good. Location: next to spring street park and on top of the stowaway bar. The lighting is phenomenal and the environment is perfect for a date or a girls night. Location is well designed to add privacy for each table through scattered plants. Chairs are very comfortable. Parking: parking lot on the corner of spring and 4th and valet available in front of the restaurant. Notables: the famous cheese wheel pasta is offered! On my list for next time!

I have been to Le Petit Paris many times and finally decided to post this review. Very consistent in their food and service. Never disappointed. Ambiance is great. Perfect date night place and good for groups as well. In my last visit I tried their flambed Branzino fish, it was really good.

Absolutely delicious! We had the cheese board, Lemon Linguini, and the Steak Frites with the truffle upgrade. So, so good!! Excellent, attentive service & and beautiful, romantic atmosphere. I've already told my friends about it. Prices were perfectly set. We chose this restaurant to eat a 6pm dinner before seeing a play at the Ahmenson theater at 8. It worked perfectly. We parked at the theater at 5:30, enjoyed a stroll to the restaurant (about a mile through a safe part of town), then took a Lyft back to the theater after dinner.

Found metered street parking fairly easily. Greeted at the door by a friendly door man. Greeted by a friendly hostess. She took a couple of groups pics at the gorgeous entrance for us. Promptly seated in the main dining hall next to the main bar. Spacious table with comfortable seating. Food was great. Starters: octopus, French onion soup, and bread. Good starters, but I wouldn't order again except for the bread. Truffle pasta, whole lobster pasta, beef bourg, steak frites. With family--tasted all dishes. Would order all again except the truffle pasta. I'd rather have steak than truffle. Service was good, not great. Server was nice and friendly, but would have liked a lot more attention. I was looking for her often and noticed she was hanging out either at the hostess area or other area rather than attending to our party. Restaurant was not busy--went early. Asked for tap water and server came back with $20 worth of bottled water. Didn't make an issue out of it. But it was clear I asked for tap water. Wine list left me wanting for more options. The bottle I ordered had a 700% markup. I'm used to 300 or 400% markup, but I thought 700% was excessive. Had a special birthday that was shared in advance. With a $700 bill I would have appreciated a scoop of ice cream and a candle for my family member. Come on people. Show a little love. Just a little. Ambience was gorgeous. Sexy all around. Great for a first date, anniversary, birthday, or Friday night. Would recommend this place. Would have given a 5 star if they had made the birthday girl feel special with a darn scoop of ice cream after a hefty bill.

Le Petit Paris is really a great restaurant. This was our first time at Le Petit Paris and we were really impressed. The ambiance is very nice. The food and service is excellent; we tried Gem Lettuce, their signature dishes Whole Lobster Pasta, Whole Branzino Flambéed With Pastis, and Steak Frites and Filet Mignon 8oz; as for desert we ordered Millefeuille and Lava Cake. As for parking the restaurant offers valet parking and there is also a public parking across from the restaurant.

Love coming back to this restaurant, it's such a vibe! The food is incredible and cocktails are always solid. Always a great option for a date night, food quality doesn't disappoint no matter the time of day. Looking forward to going back for brunch!

You walk into this restaurant and immediate feel like you've been transported to a romantic outdoor courtyard in Paris. The lighting is dark with perfectly placed spot lights and chic trees (no clue if they were real or fake, but in the dark who cares)! They're known for their pasta that is tossed in a giant flambéed cheese wheel. I did not order that but the table next to me did - it smelled amazing and the little table side performance was cute to watch! For dinner, I had the Duck leg Confit. The duck was so tender and flavorful. The carrots were cooked just enough to still have a soft crunch. And the potato millefeuille, which basically looks like an airy, flaky, potato pastry, was delicious. To drink, I got the Le Petit Paris - a gin and tonic based cocktail. They give it to you in two parts so that when you pour the liquid from the mini decanter it changes color. It was just fine. Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant. It's located downtown surrounded by a ton of art galleries, which is great if that's your vibe!

First time here, and the food was good. Nice place for a night out. The service was awesome.

The pasta and pizza were delicious! The Margherita pizza was the star of the show. The staff were very nice and welcoming. It was my friend's birthday and they brought over complimentary drinks and dessert which I thought was so kind of them!

Our party of twelve came here for a bachelorette. Making the reservation in advance online was easy. Our server and the rest of the staff were all so kind and happy to help with recommendations. For my entree I chose the filet mignon, cooked medium-rare just as requested, with sauteed mushrooms, pomme purée, and bordelaise sauce. So glad I chose this dish, however they have so many options on their menu that out of our party, everyone was completely satisfied with their dish. You really can't go wrong with anything here. For dessert I shared the lava cake and had the best espresso martini I've had to date. Presentation of all meals and desserts were beautiful. The ambiance is perfect for celebrations or a special date night out.
