"With its dim lighting and dining room that’s the size of a hallway, the Hollywood location of this fancy-ish French restaurant might feel a little too sultry for dinner with your brother. But if you’re both in the mood for steak frites, croque monsieur, and escargot loaded with so much garlic that you’ll be safe from vampires indefinitely, it’s time to head to The Valley. Their Sherman Oaks location has almost double the space, takes reservations, has an extended menu, and serves brunch. You know, just in case you want to throw some beignets into the mix." - kat hong
