We love Meet in Paris and have been here many times over the past six years. They always have a wonderful dineLA menu, as well as all their standard menu items. When any of our foodie and wine lover friends are visiting from out of town, this is one of our first stops.
TIP: Parking is tough in this area. Limited on street available in the nearby neighborhoods. No parking directly on Culver Blvd. If you're close enough, I would suggest using Lyft or Uber.
SERVICE: As usual, the service is always fantastic! Cassie assisted us Friday night and she, as well as the other wait staff, were friendly, efficient, and really take care of their customers, making the most out of our experience. Molly, and the other young lady at the hostess stand, are wonderful as they greet you and seat you when you arrive, but they also hustle and assist the wait staff with whatever is necessary. A real "team" service experience. Sebastien, the owner, also stopped by our table and chatted with us and took a real interest in us and our experiences with his establishment.
DRINKS: Since our early visits, they have now been licensed for a full bar, so all of the usual cocktails are available (Paris "Old" Fashioned, Manhattan, Negroni, etc.). There's a decent selection of wines by the bottle, as well as by the glass, and I feel that the prices are reasonable. As of our last visit, the corkage fee is $30/bottle.
FOOD: The menu is mostly tapas and small bite plates with a few entrees. We took advantage of the dineLA menu ($45/person), which is always a deal. On this visit, we started with a couple orders of the Crab Cakes, and the Escargot (which were served out of their shells in a garlic butter sauce). We also ordered a half baguette and butter ($5) to soak up the garlic butter and parsley sauce that accompanies the Escargot. For our entrées, we had the 8 oz. Prime Hanger Steak and the Coq Au Vin. Everything is well seasoned, and very flavorful. We've also tried the Jumbo Scallops with Saffron Risotto ($37), the Duck Confit Tacos ($18), and the Blackened Shrimp Tacos ($18), and all were wonderful. We finished off the evening with the Profiteroles and the Crème Brûlée, adding a couple orders of Baileys and coffee ($14 ea.), an Espresso Martini ($17), and a glass of Tawny Port ($16).
We really enjoy coming here and if it wasn't so far from home, I'm sure we'd be regulars. If you love French cuisine like we do, I highly recommend you give Meet in Paris a try!
