Pasjoli is an elevated French bistro from James Beard award-winning chef Dave Beran. The restaurant pays homage to French cuisine utilizing the bounty of produce available in Southern California.

    A lovely experience but one best left to special occasions. Better yet, enjoy this wonderful restaurant on someone else's expense account. Be prepared to have foods you've never heard of let alone tasted. But a most pleasant experience.

    Hard to make this higher than 3 stars when the service was so mediocre, even though the food is stellar. I get that it is "casual Santa Monica", but when you're paying these prices AND a service fee, the service should be a little more elevated. For starters, the black t-shirt that looks like it is hastily pulled out of the hamper should be reconsidered. Maybe pull plates before you bring the next course, don't take four reminders to have the somm come over to open the wine, 20 minutes between some courses and three minutes between others. FWIW, I blame this on the "captain" - at least I think that is who stomped around without a smile, never actually talking to us - barely keeping her disdain in check with our server, who was so sweet and nice and clearly not as experienced as she thought he should be. This service is consistent with our last time at Pasjoli several months ago, so I can't even blame it on the holidays. Oh well, such is life in restaurants on the west side. On to the next!

    Incredible menu, food and service! The meats were delicious and perfectly cooked ! The atmosphere was so cosy spacious and nice ! We loved everything but thought the wine glasses and cocktails were totally overpriced ! (50$ for two drinks at minimum) that was the only sad thing

    Lots of great dishes? But some things were overly salty and the service was a little weird.

    Very good choice for my birthday. Servers were excellent. Old friendKeelie is there also, veery nice. Food, the special Pressed Duck 5 course $ 125 per person, vry good. Middle course superb along with great amuse and salad. Got to full for main course duck slices...all done perfectly. Generally a superb evening, but very expensive. I did buy a very expensive Burgundy from their list and. paid $b 75.00 corkage for my 1994 Bollinger RD champagne. It was atreat. Thered burgundy wa good, not great. It is an excellent restauant. We'll try the regular menu soon and their new place Selene in January...supposed t be more high end tasting menus. a very successful event.
