Went here for dinner recently for the first time since it opened about a year ago, i.e you can now get in without booking a month in advance! After all the hoopla, I was a little apprehensive that it would be a) a rip-off, b) inauthentic, c) not deliver on its promise. And I'm glad to report that all my... more

Just returned from our first visit to Anisette. The place was quite busy. Our server was a bubbly French young lady who was very accomodating. The wine and food came promptly. The wine was the house red and was excellent. The onion soup was first rate. My wife's steak/frites was likewise excellent. My entrecote was run of the mill and... more

A pseudo French Bistro in a gorgeous space just off the promenade. The food was great, service was equal to the food. Loud and casual with a good wine list. more

Let’s get a few things out of the way 1. It’s noisy 2. It’s expensive 3. The service is good, considering the atmosphere, noise, crowding and general liveliness of the place. OK those are the negatives. Here are the positives: This brasserie is just like eating in Paris: It’s noisy, expensive and the service is good considering the atmosphere, noise,... more

It's the kind of... more

I give this new place a 5 star! Memorable experience with my parents. I live in San Diego and wanted to have a memorable dinner out with my folks who live in Playa del Rey. After reading about this place in the LA Times, I was curious. Call the restaurant directly for reservations, as Opentable.com did not have any openings... more

So having spoken by phone the night before I was told that the brunch featured 'Belgian Waffles with Fresh Market Strawberries, bought at the Farmer's Market that morning'. [There is a "Farmer's Market" every Saturday morning a few blocks away] The waffles were okay, certainly not bad; not crisp at all, more like doughnut consistancy. There were tiny pitchers; one... more
