Best French American Restaurants in Toluca Lake

We enjoyed my favorite winter dish: cassoulet. Couldn't limit dessert to the Grand Marnier soufflé; had to have the apple tarte as well. Treated like family.

Very pleasant location surrounded by flowers. Good choice of food.

The valet was cheaper than taking a ride share service and the gentleman was so polite. Walking up to the entrance was gorgeous. It just kept getting more and more beautiful as we ascended the steps and made it to the restaurant floor. Luckily, they also are very wheelchair/handicapable! I normally am in a wheelchair and would have easily just ramped up to their wheelchair elevator and been let out on the main floor. Once we made it up to the floor we were immediately greeted by a very kind employee who assisted in helping us find the perfect table for my needs. Water and my requested coke almost immediately showed up at the table! Our waitress, Mika, just made out night. She was extremely informed about every dish listed in each category on the menu. Food arrived promptly, hot, and with a smile. I needed a slight change to the dish I really wanted. And even though there were no substitutions, she came up with a great idea and made it happen for me so I could enjoy my meal. Mika had a fabulous disposition, was funny and kind, and was available/checked in the perfect intervals. Plenty of service without being smothered. We never felt rushed, even though they were busy. She kept my water and coke filled without asking, helped us adjust the heat when needed while keeping other customers comfortable, and was jus

The brunch deal and strawberry mimosas were an amazing deal! Gertran was an amazing server and bar tender. We wish the DJ stayed longer and can’t wait til the sun is out, the decor is perfect for spring/summer
