Diners can enjoy some of the most authentic French food in the valley when they visit Le Petit Restaurant. With the air of a bistro that has come straight from a Paris street, Le Petit serves French fare and adds its own California twist. The look and feel make it a great date spot that is conveniently open for late night dining. The interior is masked in an Art Deco decor, framed by high ceilings and filled with candle-lit and linen-covered tables, framed art adorning the colorful walls, white curved booths, and hardwood floors. The menu runs through a range of creative dishes, like the blackened salmon, grilled entrecote (rib-eye steak), escargot, herb-roasted chicken, and more, including daily specials. On Monday and Tuesday nights Le Petit offers a special 1.5 pound live Maine lobster, with soup or salad for $45.95. A notable wine list and full bar give diners ample drink choices. Le Petit Restaurant is available for private parties

    This restaurant truly made me feel like I’d found a little piece of Paris in the middle of the Valley. The service from entering the restaurant was excellent, the food was perfection, and the warm ambiance made us want to stay all evening. Three generations, from Baby Boomer, to Gen X, to Gen Z, all thoroughly enjoyed their meals. I had the escargot, mushroom raviolis with Champagne sauce, and a Grand Marnier soufflé. Heaven. This is my new go-to for easy and delectable French food.

    Management asked us to leave after 1 hour 45 minutes. Management said we could only stay for Two hours but didn’t even give us that time.It was a birthday celebration that was never mentioned. They ran out of Peroni after serving only one bottle food was expensive but scallops were over cooked. When we spoke up manager was unresponsive and not nice.The four of us would never go back.

    We arrived a couple of minutes before our reserved time and were seated immediately. Placing our orders went like clockwork. Our before dinner wine was excellent and timing was perfect. Our waiter was informative regarding selections, and our food could not have been prepared better. Sweets after dinner were fabulous and our check was delivered when requested. My wife was the honoree and she was delighted and on Mothers' day that is what is most important.

    The informal and friendly atmosphere is complimented by delicious food served by an excellent staff. Our two out of town guests gushed about their meals. Just some of the reasons that this is a regular stop for us.

    Came for the 1st time , it was my moms birthday, found the food , wine selections to fit together very nicely , the service was great. We have the king salmon .crispy duck and mushrooms ravioli. The plates were very nicely staged, nothing over lapped too quickly . And after dinner was relaxing with coffee and dessert. I would go deeper on taste and value but not many chapters to type with. Would highly recommend for any French / food lovers

    we like the food. It's ample, fresh and tasty. It happens to be convenient for us; we live off Mulholland. They have lots of choices; we try to change our orders each time, not always succeeding, as we have favorites: beet salad, duck dinner, lamb sausage (French name just slipped out of mind), et.al.

    One of my favorites. We dine at Le Petit about once per month. Food and service are outstanding. The soufflés are among the best I have had. A bit crowded and noisy but I still love the place.

    This restaurant continues to be one of the most enjoyable in the SF Valley. It's French Brasserie décor is always fun to see, and the food is excellent. I've never had a bad meal there and the service is always prompt and attentive. The cost is reasonable for the quality, though, like most restaurants these days, higher than I like. I enjoy eating here more than most of the fine-dining places we go to.

    This place serves mediocre food that is a combo between semi-French and semi-Italian and American. It was interesting to see the people who seem to appreciate this not-really-French five-outta-ten food. I think you can tell a lot about the restaurant based on the clientele it attracts. There seem to be lots of old people from the area. Seems like this group thinks this is good French food. Makes sense. The filet mignon tasted like steak teriyaki. The chicken piccata was ok, but you could see the sauce was made with a ton of lots of thickener. On the positive side, this is one of the few places in LA that serve escargot. So, I would recommend this place if you are down for snails :)

    I had the lamb chops, my husband had the lobster crepe and my daughter had the pumpkin ravioli. All were delicious. I always think the sign of a good restaurant is the bread they serve and their bread is perfect. The service was excellent; The ambience cozy. I don't know about the value because I didn't see the bill but the prices seem reasonable for a high end restaurant.
