The Scene – Reminiscent of a posh Provencal bistro, the gracious, spacious dining area is a sanctuary of limestone, soft lighting and French antiques. It's now become even more inviting, thanks to reupholstered, peach-striped banquettes that no longer drown in pillows and an attentive waitstaff that coddles pre-theater patrons to a fare-thee-well. – – The Food – After expanding his L.A. restaurant empire south, Joachim Splichal gave his talented chef time to settle in, and now, room to improvise. Florent Marneau eliminated the plats du jour, spa dishes and…

Excellent food the service didn't match up to the food.
by aprilhill1
The food and atmosphere where great. The service was bad. I wish the service measured up to the food. I will not go back to this restaurant again. The dessert menu was not impressive and very limited. I left this restaurant feeling no connection to this place. The staff needs to present an experience to their guests.
- Pros: Food
- Cons: service

Can't recommend it
by foodtemptation
My husband took me out for Valentine's day. I expected the wait is longer than usual but not an hour and 45minutes. Valet parking was aweful. They packed too many cars in a small lot that no one can get in or out. The parking took us 15 minutes because we had to wait for valet guys to park our car. What is the point of valet parking then one may wonder. Then The seating was another 45 minute wait. After we were seated the food was another hour wait. How much can a person wait for food? The food wasn't worh the wait. I have tried Chat Noir and Turner's New Zealand. Both of the places were better than Pinot. I can't recommend this restaurant.
- Pros: can't think of any
- Cons: Parking, service, food

It's called Steak Frites!
by bkrause27
The French eat their steaks with "french fries" which are really called pommes frites in french. That does not cheapen this dish as one reviewer said. That is how the entree is supposed to be served. But, of course, not everyone would know that. Point is, don't make judgments about food that you don't really understand.
