Editorial Review for Le Petit Bistro – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
High ceilings, Art Deco posters and a walled-in patio transports diners from L.A. to the Left Bank. The dulcet tones of French expatriates and Gallic wanna-bes fill the warm, welcoming space. Le Petit Bistro's menu is a Cal-French combination, with health-conscious concessions like oil-free slabs of blackened salmon and barely seared ahi. Traditional bistro dishes include grilled entrecote (rib-eye steak) and escargot slicked with garlic. The herb-roasted chicken is sided by pommes frites. Baked chocolate mousse and tarte Tatin are desserts.

This place is really good and the prices aren't outrageous like at other French restaurants. It has valet and onstreet parking, if you're lucky. They have good french onion soup and lamb chops. Good drinks, too!!
Pros: good food
Cons: crowded

Anyone who doesn't like this everyday bistro is nuts. We go there 2 times a month and the food and service is top notch. Lunch is great too, but the service part is a bit lacking during the day. Fav's are the blackened salmon over greens and the chicken picata, I usually order the plate with their fantastic fries. The house wines are great and a huge pour. It's noisy, bright and very much a French bistro, but we love it.
Pros: Fries, Fries, Fries
Cons: Hard to get in
