I've been coming here for over 15 years. This is a staple for the valley. They have the best french cuisine out here! The quality of meats, wines, and vegetables are all top! The host and servers are always friendly and welcoming too. The vibe is classy and feels high end. Every time I bring someone new they love it! Le petit doesn't miss! read more

Came here on reservation this weekend and had a great time. Our server Lauren and the rest of the staff was fantastic- very friendly, attentive, easy going, and helpful. The restaurant is very small which made for a cozy atmosphere without being too loud. We tried plenty of dishes- escargot and frog legs were great; the butter and garlic that they cook the escargot in was awesome... it's butter and garlic after all. Frog legs were tender and the sauce they were served is was very good. The goat cheese/pear salad was fresh, and the french onion soup was also awesome- Not too salty at all. For entrees, we got the lamb shank and the lobster crepes. Both we delicious. The lamb was melt in your moth tender, quite literally falling off the bone. The lobster crepes were light yet rich and flavorful. To top off the meal, we got the chocolate soufflé which was heavenly. It wasn't overly sweet which is great since it was served with some vanilla ice cream, and chocolate/vanilla sauces. A great way to end the meal. We will definitely be coming back here again and highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Lobster Fete on Monday and Tuesday is all you really need to know. Check their website for pricing, you won't find a better deal! Actually, this has become our favorite French restaurant in Los Angeles. Cozy atmosphere decorated like a little Parisian café right in the middle of Sherman Oaks. Service is always outstanding even when they're busy. Reservations recommend. Corkage varies, $20+ they've sometimes waved it if the bottle's really nice and you share a taste with your server. We usually start with a Lillet spritz cocktail and the fig and beat salad. Steak au poivre is my go to, the shoe string pomme frites are addictive. The lobster is on special Mondays and Tuesdays and my Yeobo recommends the fingerling potato side with this. It also comes with soup of the day. 100% put in your advance order for the Grand Marnier soufflé! Non, rien de rien Non, je ne regrette rien! read more

Le Petit is a little dream. I love everything about this place. The charming ambiance, the graceful service, and yes, most of all, the delicious food! The fish is always cooked properly. Their sauces do the French proud. Their selection is varied, fresh, and beautifully presented. We like to split everything when we go there, so we can enjoy more menu items. Last night we tried: the Goat Cheese Salad, which has a nice crunchy coated piece of soft cheese on a perfectly dressed salad; the Porcini Mushroom Ravioli (I believe it might have been the most delicious I've ever had and I've had a lot of Ravioli--and recently visited Italy--don't hate me Italian relatives); the Trout Almandine special (again, perfect); and for dessert a soufflé with vanilla bean sauce you're tempted to drink from the cup. And to top off a perfect meal, we had a pear dessert wine that was delicate, aromatic, and refreshing. Oh how I wish they were in Claremont! But Le Petit is worth the drive! read more

A very cute French restaurant and the food is so good! Love the escargot and lamb chops. Ask for some more bread and dip it in the oil from the escargot, it's so good! The French onion soup is so good too!! Make sure to make room dessert, especially the chocolate soufflé. It takes time so make sure to order ahead Corkage is $25. All the servers are so nice! And they take reservations. read more

My husband and I had the most magnificent experience at Le Petit on a Sunday when they usually don't open. It was a pre-fix menu with incredibly delicious dishes. My husband had the burgundy omelette, lobster bisque and the tiramisu...absolutely lovely. I had the duck pate, merguez and eggs and a delicious sorbet. The service was superb and the food was equally spectacular. Do not pass on this restaurant! We're going tonight. read more

I had an accidental pleasure of walking into this restaurant and having the best experience. First, let me start off by saying that I've been on a hunt for crème brûlée for over a year now and I was at a point of just giving up really. The ambience is very inviting, I knew as soon as I sat down. I was really feeling the vibe inside the restaurant. I had no idea what to expect, but I want to definitely give a special shout out to Lauren my waitress/hostess for the evening as she was completely amazing and gave the experience a very top notch high level service with a splash of VIP treatment, and I was thoroughly impressed with how she really came through for me and making my birthday so special with having a traditional setting of the crème brûlée, toasted and torched in front of me for my viewing pleasure. The icing on the cake was when the whole restaurant started singing to me whom I am a complete stranger to all these people and to my surprise, even though I'm super introverted, and don't like any attention on me, I felt very valued in the moment. I also have to say that the owner of the restaurant Jay is completely humble and makes you feel like you're eating at home. Definitely a place for you all to check out and I know that I'm coming back because I took a look at the menu and there's several items on there that I have to try to next time. Though I did have a couple of their famous dishes. I don't have any pictures of because my whole thing for the night was crème brûlée so I'm posting that here for you guys to see. Thank you, Le Petit for making my birthday is so special read more

Had a wonderful birthday dinner here! We brought a bottle of wine to go with our delicious meal. Corkage fee was $25 (not bad at all!!!). For apps we ordered the escargot, tartar de bouef, and lobster bisque. Main course was softshell crab (a special) and branzino. For dessert delicious chocolate and grand Marnier Soufflé. Everything was well paced, great service and a lovely setting. We look forward to coming back! Valley was $14 cash only but there are meters if you can find one! read more

Came here for my birthday and it was pretty good! Honestly, the highlight was the fresh bread that they gave for free with their sides. My mom got the great lobster deal and it was so yummy with the melted butter and potatoes. My duck was super yummy but I don't think I enjoy tangerine flavor in my savory, but that's my preference. But I ate the whole duck and it was crispy! My dad got the lamb and he wasn't really a fan, but I enjoyed it because it had some skin that made it softer. I also liked the couscous. We also liked the soufflé! read more

Just ordered take out from here and I bought lobster bisque for $20 and it arrived half full- only a few spoonfuls with no lobster just broth. Completely ridiculous and disappointing because I have high expectations for a place like this. (see picture) read more

A really cute quaint restaurant. We sat outside which was nice. The food was very good and everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. $$-$$$ Service was very prompt and they checked on us throughout the evening. We never felt rushed. There is valet parking as well as street parking. There was no wait to be seated. The whole atmosphere was a really nice vibe and I look forward to going back one day. Wonderful dining experience. read more

We had the pleasure of dining with our family, a party of 12, last month. Everyone was extremely pleased with our choice of Le Petit Restaurant. The room was warm and cozy and our server was outstanding. He was very pleasant, knowledgeable and available. Despite being a large party, we were well taken care of. The food was excellent. I tried to get my grandchildren to try the frog legs and escargot without success, but we did try the duck mouse. It was flavorful and came with jams, nuts and little gherkins. My entree was the raviole which was in a wonderful gravy. My daughter had the duck that she liked. I tried it and I can see why. One of the highlights of the evening was a round of souffle that the grandchildren adored. I can't say enough nice things about this restaurant. Next time we are in LA we'll be back. read more

Definitely not coming back to this Sherman Oaks Restaurant. We felt that they only appreciate locals dining at this restaurant. The manager only chatted for a long time with a group of four people. read more

LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE!!!! The host. Jay and Joseph are both so welcoming. The food is amazing. The customer service is above and beyond. The vibes are just great. Have been going here for almost 20 years now. read more

Wowwww this spot knocks it out of the park! I have been driving past Le Petit for so long! Visiting the Great Greek (also amazing) right next door for so long and I feel like I should have went here sooner!! This place has it all! Atmosphere, kind folks, delicious food, and a variety of cocktails! I had the lobster crepes after trying to decide what to have for so long since everything looks incredible and my wife had the sage pumpkin ravioli. These two dishes were top notch flavorful without paying top notch dollar. I love that the crepes came with a side salad!! Delicious salad dressing!! Fantastic wine!! And to end the fantastic experience, we had macarons to go that were delectable!! The atmosphere here is small, romantic, old cute Italian / French restaurant feel. The Christmas decorations are up and they're so cute! The staff was super friendly and the food came out so fast! Everything here was next level. We can't wait to go back to Le Petit again!! read more

This is a "regular" of ours. The food is consistently excellent. As a party of four, we've tried numerous entrees without complaint. Expect to valet your car at $14. I've tried to find street parking unsuccessfully many times. If you don't have a reservation there's a good chance you'll wait for a long time if you aren't turned away read more

Food and service are decent, but their reservation management is a bit of a mess. I made a reservation for 7pm, showed up at 7pm, and wasn't seated til 7:35, stuck waiting outside on a cold night with a half dozen other reservations who got delayed. It's clear that this place is purposely overbooking. read more

I recently had the chance to try Le Petit Chef and it was honestly one of the most unique dining experiences I've had. The concept is so creative, a tiny animated chef appears on your table and "prepares" each course right in front of you using projection mapping. It's entertaining, immersive and something completely different from a typical dinner out. read more

Family get together and my cousin's favorite so we booked it. DeLICOUS food, great cocktails and wine choices and lively, vibrant atmosphere. We noticed a few different tables have cross conversation over their dinner choices, which made the atmosphere even friendlier. Host was wonderful and checked on us with some recommendations while we awaited the remainder of our party. Server was very attentive too. Definitely recommend and will definitely be back! read more

No super impressed with the service we received last night. Hostess completely ignored me and my party while on the phone, never bothering to make eye contact. The waitress was absent, the music was loud for the ambiance they're trying to create. The French Onion Soup is good, but not $25 good. The chocolate souffle is impressive. The $17 parking fee is excessive. I honestly would pass. read more

Le Petit is an old school French Bistro type restaurant, along the lines of the now defunct Yellowfingers & LaFrite, both old time faves of mine. The service is friendly and knowledgeable, the food reliably good. My biggest complaint-- the parking. valet is $12 or $15 This is the SFV guys, come on! read more

First- I made a reservation but still ended up waiting in line. Not sure why they take reservation when they sit people as they come. Second, I don't know why even the food we ordered came so late. All the groups who came after us have gotten their plates and almost done with them, but we still were waiting for ours. I hope it didn't have anything to do with our looks . To be honest, the taste of their food wasn't even worth the wait. But kudos to our server for being really nice and friendly. read more

Enjoyed a nice evening of French dining with Veal Piccata; nice and tangy, veal was cooked tenderly, and sauce had great composure. As did the sauce for the mussels. Dipping bread in that sauce was divine. They have a nice wine selection so don't skip it. French onion soup was tasty, right balance of sweet and savory. Endive salad was delicate and crisp. Why not 5 stars? Mussels had a faint "fishy" smell, but.......I didn't get sick, so all is well in the world. read more

We have been going to this restaurant for years. My advice would be to go on weekends where they have their grade A staff. We went on a Wednesday night and it was terrible. I ordered the Branzino fish covered with some kind of sauce. It came with rice (with carrots and peas) that was at best from a can or frozen. It also came with plain steamed vegetables. Unfortunately this restaurant is not what it used to be. read more

My first visit, I sat solo at the bar and had the Croque Monsieur, which was excellent! While everything is pricey the food is top notch! My second visit to take my wife out to dinner was a bit different. The Butternut Squash soup, which is what she had come for, sold out during their lunch service. After the escargot she opted for the night's special! A double portion of Sole, which came with rice, perfectly cooked and brown beurre (browned butter) and was also excellent. However, for $115 entree I would have expected them to serve a vegetable, perhaps carrots, instead of just rice and filet of sole. My second martini evidently included "an extra half shot" according to the waiter, which he explained was the extra $8 charge for the beverage. Funny as I did not order an extra half shot-(what is a half shot anyway?). It all fit in the same size glass as the first drink, so should have had the cost removed from the tab. Rather strange. Overall the food is excellent and everything is pricey to say the least. Watch the tab! read more

It's been a few years since we visited this place and it's still one of the coziest, and most consistent traditional restaurants on Ventura. Tasty food, great service. Sit in the outer areas for a quiet, romantic setting as inside while cozy gets louder when busy. Highly recommend. read more

The food here is always amazing! Truly, this is what the dining experience is meant to be! I have to mention what amazing service Le Petit has. Juan specifically is so attentive and kind, not just for our table but the entire restaurant. We would be coming back for just Juan alone but luckily the food is so fantastic that we get both!! read more

The service was good and the quality of the food varied The room was so over air conditioned that I needed a coat The calamari was simply the best I've ever eaten The crispy roast duck was dry and stringy, and was not warm from the oven. It tasted like reheated food that was standing out for hours...a real disappointment Desert was Apple tart that was excellent The chocolate souffle needed more flavor read more

Second time being here, I can see this being our typical stop on my trip to LA. The food is amazing the beet salad was fresh the goat cheese was fresh. The lamb chops were cooked perfectly and seasoned nicely The soufflé was awesome BUT it is piping hot so just be warned. The service is paced very well not rushed and not too laxed either. Better than what you would get in Paris. The place would remind you if you have been to Paris cafe. read more

We went at least 24 times each year for over 25 years! They were my absolute favorite place to go for brunch, lunch, and dinner sitting inside and outside! We want them to come back or Poe a new location so much. They were there for over 40 years and we would travel to be there no matter where we lived. Yes, the atmosphere, food, and service were that amazing! read more

Absolutely outstanding. I had an early dinner of black mussels accompanied by a Campari and soda. The mussels were among the best I have ever tasted - and I order them a lot. Service was excellent, attentive but not intrusive. Prices were reasonable for the environment and the quality. VERY highly recommend this fine establishment! Stopped in after spotting it a few days ago driving on Ventura boulevard. They had literally just opened so it was pea avail and quiet. (I needed both after the day I had!) Atmosphere very French - as it should be! read more

Wow. I had no idea what an amazing little restaurant Le Petit is! It was like we walked into a bistro in Paris! We came here for my parent's 64th anniversary and from the moment we arrived, we were treated with such care. Jay seated us at a cozy booth, and Petr, our waiter, was the right balance of attentive and patient. It took awhile for my Mom to decide as the menu was packed with a variety of choices. We started with proper cocktails - martinis and gimlets. Total perfection! The food was beyond delicious! We had a tasty fig salad, lamb chops cooked perfectly, a hanger steak and sea bass. Everything was womderful. The chocolate souffle was sublime. And they were so sweet to bring an special dessert for my parents. We will be back! This place is too good not to experience again and again! read more

This is a great little gem if you are in the valley: Pros: - casual and easy with very good food - despite that- it manages to be still a bit romantic. My wife really loves French food and this is more akin to finding a cute little spot in France to have a good meal served with class. Cons: - feels a little pricey, but the food is good quality, service is reasonable, and it is still cheaper than other French restaurants where the food is not as good Tips: - parking on the street is not too hard especially if you come at non-peak hours - order soufflé in advance (before you finish dinner) - the paella (Yes- I know its Spanish) and mushroom ravioli (Yes- I know that's Italian) are really good as well as the more traditional French dishes read more

Quality consistent food. Highly recommend this place for a romantic dinner with your lvoed one

The perfect place for a great dinner. Everything we tried was delicious. The service was amazing. The place is cute and I would recommend sitting in the front area as it is easier to talk there. I will go back soon to try more of the menu. read more

Unfortunately this place is not what it used to be. We got postmates delivered. The lamb chops were so beyond small you really need to get two orders. The onion soup had hardly any cheese and it was really bland. They changed their recipe or something. It used to be really good and the portions use to be normal size. Not like an appetizer size. My husband had the rib eye and it was just really over cooked. Anyway there are better restaurants to order from. I would rather spend more and enjoy my meal. You get what you pay for is extremely true. They are only getting two stars bc their bread is good. read more
