It's such a great spot to sit outside on a sunny day. They also have an amazing lunch prix fixe menu, plus happy hour and daily specials that are honestly hard to beat. Since it's a French restaurant, we had to try the escargot. The texture was great, it was super flavorful, and dipping the bread into the sauce it came with was chef's kiss. I got the Bistro Burger, and wow it was so good. The Wagyu beef was juicy, the bun was soft and fluffy, and everything just worked. I know you don't usually go to a French restaurant for the fries, but these were genuinely some of the best fries I've ever had. I also found out they have bottomless mimosas and weekly jazz nights, which immediately made me want to come back. Overall, I had such an amazing experience here. Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. I will 1000% be returning.

Do not come here for bottomless mussels! Service is extremely poor. For example, we got here at…read more6:35ish and left at 8:20pm. It does say for bottomless mussels it takes about 25 mins but for each round of mussel it took around 40 mins which I had to address to the waitress. The waitress did apologize and let us know that she will extend our time for bottomless mussels, but at this point we wanted to leave immediately. We ended up getting two plates of mussels each. Our waitress did take around 10 mins to get me napkins, our baguette bread took 25 mins to come to our table. I will not recommend this restaurant for bottomless mussels. I do think they might be shortstaffed but waiting for food for about 40 minutes (appetizers) is pretty ridiculous. Unfortunately this will be my last time coming here!

It gives you time to be more intentional with what you want to eat. They also seem to have daily specials. For the table, we ordered the fennel salad and a sashimi dish of sorts.

Juliet is one of those places that always has last-minute availability when I look for dinner…read morereservations on Resy. It has good reviews, so I'd been curious to try it, and got the chance a few weeks ago, when we needed a last-minute dinner reservation for six on a Friday night. The restaurant is part of that whole Platform complex in Culver City. It's a contemporary French spot, new and pretty, with a nicely designed interior and a spacious patio. We sat inside, which seemed like the better choice, and had a pleasant, relaxing dinner. The vibe was upscale but comfortable, and also on the quiet side, with probably too many empty tables for peak dinnertime on a Friday night. I hope Juliet is doing okay. It's a great restaurant that should appeal to a lot of people. Service was welcoming and professional, and the food and drink were excellent. We started with cocktails, and I really enjoyed my Le Sage, a refreshing mezcal drink with sage, Cara Cara orange, and peppercorn. I also tried my husband's Mon Coeur, with cognac, rye, cherry, and Benedictine, and my friend's Coco Chanel, with rum, pineapple, coconut, and green tea. Both lovely. We shared a bottle of wine with the rest of our dinner, a light French red that worked well with most of the dishes on the table. We shared a few appetizers, and these were all delicious. I loved the tarama, a flavorful whipped cod dip with salmon roe, dill oil, breakfast radishes, and toast. Could've accidentally eaten two whole plates by myself. The possion cru was a cool, zippy crudo with sliced amberjack, radish, Meyer lemon ponzu, serrano oil, and cilantro. The salade d'endives was a beautiful plate of tender endives with walnuts, grapes, and Roquefort cheese. My entrée was solid, if less memorable: the daurade royale, a sizable fillet of wild sea bream served with ratatouille and a vibrant green sauce pistou. My husband's côtes d'agneau, or lamb rib chops, were good, though a small portion (I stole a nibble), with chickpea purée and olive tapenade. I also tried one of the cigares de confit de canard, duck confit "cigars" rolled in crispy thin layers of dough, kind of like egg rolls or taquitos, with a side of sauce valois. Not bad, if a bit strange as a main course. I get dinner in Culver City with some regularity (central meeting point for me and my oldest girlfriends), and am always on the lookout for quality restaurants in the area, especially ones that work for larger groups. I hope to revisit Juliet in the near future, and would encourage others to check it out, too.

I was a little concerned about some of the reviews but we had such a wonderful experience. A lot of the negative reviews had to do with customer service, and our experience was quite the opposite. We were served everything quickly and attentively, and our main server gave great recommendations and apologized for "waits" when there wasn't even a wait! After we were seated, we asked to be moved to the pretty spacious table next to the large window, and they were happy to accommodate. Giving us a memorable experience seemed to be very important to all of the staff. Drinks - I fell in love with the Dillinger (Old Forrester, Mexican corn whiskey, licor de elote). It tasted like a slightly sweet kettle corn old fashioned. My husband actually ordered it, and traded drinks with me because I loved it so much. Food - We ordered the scallop crudo to share, the house baguette, and French onion soup to share. I'm glad we ordered the scallops and the strawberry pairing was unexpected and interesting. My personal fave was the soup, which our servers kindly split into 2 tureens for us to share (soup is pretty hard to share otherwise, amirite?) It was so delicious that I found myself peeling the extra cheese from the bowl. For mains, I went with the Tagiatelle and husband ordered the steak frites. While the pasta was delicious and rich with flavor, the wagyu was one of the juiciest, most tender and well-seasoned steaks I've had in a while and I'm not even a big steak/red meat lady. Paul just ordered better than me overall! The live jazz band added even more to the beautiful ambiance. You wouldn't be out of place dressing fancy like we did, or even getting up to dance! There is also a bar/lounge upstairs and a bar on the 1st floor if you wanted to enjoy the music longer or have a nightcap.

We went on a thursday night and other guests were mostly french (that's how you know it's locally approved)! The decor was modern chic on the outside and the inside decor was different on the inside- hipster cafe with quotes. The food itself was unbelievable! The pricing is on the higher side but worth it given the taste! We had bone marrow which had a nice buttery flavor; the Beef bourguignon was tender and well flavored; and their house special Black cod (available only for one week) was so flavorful and cooked delicately that it melted in our mouths! It was the best fish we ever tasted and we didn't even know fish could taste like that!!! We also recommend the mango passionfruit lemonade. Not too sweet and tasted very fresh. We also thought it was one of the best and freshest lemonade we ever tasted! Word of note though is that the food portion is on the smaller side for Americans (which is actually normal sized for Europeans). Overall fantastic food! My mouth is watering thinking about it! Definitely recommend for special occasions and if you want very food french food!

The service was absolutely on pointe thanks to Kaiya, Teri, and Randy. Warm, polished, attentive, and just the right amount of fun. Hubs and I split everything, which was the right move because this meal was rich, delicious, and very filling. We started with the baguette bread service, which is an additional charge but 100% worth it. The bread, salted butter, and mixed berry spread were pure France in a basket. Next up was the French onion soup, and wow. Cheesy, full of flavor, with a beautiful broth that somehow managed to be rich without being too salty. Perfection. Then came the Big Mec burger, as seen on Food Network's top burgers -- and yes, it absolutely lives up to the hype. Definitely enough for two. Perfectly seasoned patties, melty cheese, a fresh brioche bun, and that bordelaise sauce bath underneath? Flavor-forward, decadent, and unforgettable. We rounded out the meal with a slice of French toast because apparently we make excellent life choices. Also delicious, also worth sharing. This was not just lunch -- it was an experience. Will I go back? Absolument! Next up: dinner.

Got seated on the patio on a beautiful day, so we were perfectly happy. After a quick glance at the menu, our recommendations from our server, we decided to order. We started with the escargot, as one does at a French restaurant, and the French onion soup. The escargot cube bathed in butter, garlic and parsley and were very tasty. I mean, how can they not be when bathed in garlic and butter? The French onion soup was also delicious with ample gruyere cheese overflowing. Pure indulgence! For entrees, we all tried something different. The steak frites were.... steak frites. If you've tried one, you've tried most, so not very memorable. The duck confit was cooked well and not overly fatty, which was nice. The omelette, let me say, is beautiful to look at. You almost don't want to touch it because it is very picrure-esque, and absolutely cooked perfectly. A, dare I say, perfect omelette. Finally was the Big Mec. Now, there are a lot of good burgers in Los Angeles, but the Big Mec is one of the greats. So much flavor with the double wagyu patties, cheese, special sauce all while sitting in a Bordelaise sauce. It isn't something you would eat every day, as it is heavy, but it is phenomenal when you do. I'd say one of the top five burgers in Los Angeles, in my humble opinion. Overall, delicious French restaurant in Hollywood, a little above Hancock Park, serving delicious food. Get the escargot and French onion soup to start, and definitely get the omelette and the Big Mec, you will not be disappointed.

It was packed on Saturday noon, with queues stretching dozens of meters, so I had to get takeout to eat at the museum. Kimchi Fried Rice: Unsurprisingly one of the most popular dishes. Even as takeout, it was still incredibly flavorful. The rice was dry and fluffy, each grain distinct, perfectly absorbing the sweet, sour, and slightly spicy flavors of the kimchi; the beef short ribs were tender and juicy, with a rich, fatty aroma. The perfectly runny soft-boiled egg was a definite plus. It somewhat shattered my stereotype about Korean fried rice. Short Rib Burrito: Calling this tortilla soaked in sauce a "burrito" is quite creative... avocado, soft-boiled egg, cheese, and black beans--a typical Mexican recipe; the sauce was tangy and spicy, refreshing and stimulating, creating a good balance with the rich, rounded flavors of the ingredients. For Cantonese like me, it was a bit too spicy. Basque Cheesecake: Absolutely delicious...the best Basque cheesecake I've ever had! The cake was delicate and smooth, with a different texture in every bite, from the molten center to the firmer edges, and the transitions were very natural; the cheese was incredibly rich and creamy, almost like eating milk powder.
