As always, we love going to Petit Trois for the delectable selection of dishes, all prepared right in front of of you if you’re lucky enough to sit at the counter watching all the delicious magic taking place. We love the food, the enjoyable banter among all the staff, and the fact that it’s some of the best French cuisine in LA.

The experience, as usual, was EXCELLENT. I have been going to La Boheme for over 20 years. It is my favorite restaurant in Los Angeles with the best ambiance. This time was even more exceptional than usual. Our server, Cynthia, went above and beyond. And her personable attitude, went very far with us. Thank you La Boheme for another wonderful date night.

A fun & playful interior design that feels like an adult treehouse makes this a must see restaurant in LA. Food was quality but not jaw-dropping. Service was a little slow but the ambiance had us mesmerized and distracted. Much of the restaurant is under a partially covered roof, so temperature can vary. I’d suggest wearing layers.
