    Beautiful venue and really good food. The big miss was waiting and waiting for a new batch of mashed potatoes to come out. There were 8 of us waiting and sadly they never came. My food was cold by the time I decided to go back to my table. When I told our waiter Josh, he fetched some for our table of three. That was a big miss and that’s why I gave a less than five star on food. Luckily Josh and Kyle (who seated us) saved the day with their charm!

    We were so happy to find Le Perit French Restaurant. Remember all of those great French Cafe’s in LA in the late 80’s? Mustache Cafe, Cafe Figaro, Bicycle Shop Cafe - there were a slew of them. You could count on a great Florentine Quiche and chocolate soufflé. So we were delighted with the French Onion Soup, Duck a l’orange and an amazing endive salad. Topped off with a perfect cappuccino and…soufflé - half gran marnier and half chocolate. We were so happy! Delicious food and great value. Thank you Le Petit!
