Everything is better with Marilyn & Caviar

by theminty at Citysearch

Petrossian is a gentle and quiet restaurant on Robertson, just one block north of Beverly.

There you can find excellent service, good wine and high-end food without any pretension. My favorites are the foie gras salad and the caviar pizza.

Decor features black and white photos of glamorous celebrities like Marilyn Monroe.

There's also a little shop if you want to purchase anything to go.

• Pros: caviar, foie gras salad

Petrossian: All Talk, All Bit

by Austios at Citysearch

This place lives up to the hype!

After hearing so much about this place and the chef on Twitter, I came here for DineLA a couple weeks ago.

Parking is tricky, even at dinner time. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. I can only imagine what kind of natural light you get during the day!

Service was impeccable. Our server, Dan, was very courteous and very attentive. Everybody else was great as well.

Our meal was wonderful and everything so well seasoned and flavorful. My favorite was by far the truffle mac n cheese, followed by the napolean tartare. But again, everything is good!

Chef Ben Bailly was really cool. Having interacted on many occasions via Twitter, I think he wanted to meet us just as much as we wanted to meet him.

I can't wait to come back. Merci Chef!!!

• Pros: Truffle Mac n Cheese!!!
• Cons: NONE

A bit expensive but worth it

by weho333 at Citysearch

Had a fantastic bagel with salmon and capers here recently. It was just what I wanted with quality salmon and the bagel was expertly toasted. But $16 is a bit much, no? Screw it, it was worth it and I'd go again!

There are cheaper things on the menu, but there are also a lot more expensive items. I'd say the atsmosphere here is more business lunch than dinner. But it is nice and airy inside and they have a lot of tables outside too for primo people watching on Robertson.

• Pros: Great caviar and fun lunch spot
• Cons: just a touch expensive

Fine French Food - causual and comfortable setting

by brian S at Citysearch

Nice corner cafe location just north of Beverly with pleasant patio . Bright interior with high ceilings.

This is really special occasion food you can afford more often. Nice brunch menu, and close to Robertson shopping stretch. Smoked salmon that puts delis to shame. Mushroom soup with flavor that will stay with you forever. Plenty of options both with and without the caviar.s that made Petrossian so famous.

• Pros: Rich food, Foie Gras salad, Steak Tartare, Soups
• Cons: Tough parking, Rich Food, inside a little loud when crowded
