Marvin is a cozy Beverly Grove French bistro with a vibrant vibe, stellar wine selection, and a menu full of shareable delights like jamon toast and rigatoni Bolognese.
"The neighborhood French bistro on Beverly is currently doing their regular dinner menu (the rigatoni bolognese and jamon toast are musts), as well as a “Marvito” menu, which features dishes like burgers, tacos, and even chicken tender baskets. And there’s plenty of to-go wine as well. Available for both takeout and delivery." - brant cox
"Marvin should be busier than it is, but we’re not going to complain, because this wine bar and restaurant has become one of our go-tos for first dates. The neighborhood spot in Beverly Grove has a great wine list and solid food (get the rigatoni Bolognese), and a space that feels welcoming, like a cool friend’s dining room. A visit to Marvin isn’t crazy expensive, either, so it’s an ideal choice if you don’t want to invest in a date with someone you suspect didn’t write that hilarious Tinder bio themselves." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, kat hong, brett keating
"For anyone who lives within a half-mile radius of Beverly and Crescent Heights, Marvin is your Cheers. For anyone else, this is a French bistro with food good enough to drive across the city for, and an atmosphere that’ll make you wish you had something similar in your neighborhood. Things can get a little pricey here (most entrees are over $38), so we recommend coming in to aggressively snack instead of throwing down for a three-course meal. Just make sure you’re snacking on all of their toasts." - brant cox, sylvio martins

"Marvin is one of my favorite restaurants in LA and it's just because the vibes are very almost like New York-y, but downtown New York, the West Village, that kind of vibe. They have a great menu. They have everything from Spanish jamon Iberico to the burger to the phenomenal pork chop. It's always lively in there. It's almost cosmopolitan, I guess you would say, and they have little tiny little almost French bistro tables outside. It's fantastic."—MV" - brennan carley
