This is Chef Suzanne Goin's premiere restaurant offering which has withstood the test of time in its impeccable quality of food and service. Rustic and almost uncomfortably cozy, you will nevertheless get a level of food that is quite above par for Los Angeles.

We were excited to have cassoulet since my boyfriend and I are both fans, and enjoyed a lunch here before. Unfortunately, this dining experience did not meet my expectations. We were seated uncomfortably close to another couple, hearing every word of their conversation as well as those of the other tables around us. However, the atmosphere is charming, with a... More

I was taken to Lucques for my birthday dinner and will not wait for another birthday to return! We visited on a Sunday evening when the restaurant offers a prim fix "Sunday dinner" menu. The courses were elegant and unique and the entree choices were lovely - lamb or salmon on the evening we were there. The suggested, signature martini... More

One of my favorite restaurants in LA. The food is wonderfully prepared from seasonal ingredients and the menu is always interesting....French in feeling with a California twist.

I had never encountered that before and requested a new one. Then I noticed a big dirty smear on the tablecloth-never encountered that... More

I have never been disappointed with the restaurant. The food is excellently prepared, farm-fresh ingredients cooked to perfection. The olives and bread to start the meal are hard to stop eating. I almost always get the fish and it is paired with ingredients that showcase the simplicity but complex flavors of all the ingredients. We have been to four of... More

The restaurant is very cozy, although the outdoor patio section can be quite chilly in the winter months. The service is attentive and pleasant. The food is tasty and exciting. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients and there is often an interesting pairing that you would never usually think of combining. The curried cauliflower with pomegranate was surprising...
