The Scene
A quartet of spaces grace this romantic little restaurant famous for its outside patio with a backlit bar, gothic chandeliers, candles, ferns and fountains. The bamboo-lined inner patio and French country-style piano room are tranquil and intimate while the blue room--decked in rustic wooden tables and sheepskin-covered chairs--is perfect for fireside dining. The French-Med cooking focuses on organic, local and seasonal elements with appetizers for two, like the pistachio-crusted chevre, Merguez sasuage, green olive tuna tartare, a medley of salads, and authentic spanikopita, falafel, and hummus. Entrees include an artfully arranged rack of lamb crusted with tapenade, spiked with garlic rosemary sauce over green lentils. Roasted duo of duck pairs a rich confit with tender breast medallions dressed in fresh pomegranate sauce, wild rice and orange caramelized turnips.

I have eaten at the Little Door several times over the last 10 years. I love the ambiance. But I am progressively become more and more disenchanted. This is mainly due to the pomposity of their waiters. The food, which once was wonderful, is now just above ordinary for this kind of restaurant. I don't mind paying exuberant prices for an amazing experience, but the quality of food, over priced wine and inflated ego's of the waiters no longer justify their prices. It feels as though the Little Door has lost a little bit of it's soul.

Not surprising for a foodie to be disappointed in the anorexia capital of the US I suppose. I found the food to be very disappointing. The service was not so swift, our waiter was completely disorganized, taking drink orders from half of the table at the same time as appetizers from the other half. The facility is interesting, but I would not return here even on an expense account.

This place is an absolute must for all couples! The ambience and decor are perfect. The outdoor patio is covered with gorgeous little lights, trees, plants etc. You definately feel like you are somewhere other than Los Angeles. For dinner I had the grilled Ahi Tuna (medium rare) comes with baby veggies and a delicious hummus. Washed down with some fancy bottle of wine a la J.R's good palate.
