Fodor's Review:

Parisian-born chef Alain Giraud, famous for some of L.A.'s most elaborate tasting menus, now turns his attention to the energy of a casual brasserie. The soaring space is decked out with imported vintage floor tiles, antique mirrors and sconces—an authenticity reinforced by the waiters' accents. A buzzing, eclectic crowd of tourists, expats, and nearby residents tuck into familiar brasserie favorites such as onion soup gratinée, platters of fruits de mer from the raw bar, duck confit, and daube, a braised beef cheek stew in a soulful red wine reduction. A classic zinc bar was also brought from France and the scene there looks like it might have been lifted from a brasserie on Boulevard Saint-Michel. For lunch, there are frisée salads and croque monsieur sandwiches.

Haven't had a bad dish here. Because of the prices, and we're all counting pennies these days, best time to come here is happy hour. Kick back to excellent wines, best pate in town (according to all my friends, I will confess I don't eat the stuff), other great appetisers and discounted prices.
