Jeune Et Jolie

Ambience & Service: went there during Memorial Day weekend to celebrate our anniversary and birthday. You could tell this is a top tier restaurant immediately by how everyone greets you there. We got to chat and spend a really nice night there. I even got a customized card and complimentary drink as gifts from them. Food: really enjoy their house made bread, and I love their wagyu. Everything else is pretty good but not too impressive for the price point.

We had a delightful experience visiting this restaurant. The food was truly amazing, and the service was wonderful. The environment was also very pleasant, and everything was beautifully presented. Parking was convenient, as there was a spacious parking area behind the restaurant. My only suggestion, while appreciating all aspects of our visit, concerns the 4% service fee charged for employee health insurance. It felt a bit out of place to itemize this on the bill, and the option for customers to request its removal seemed rather unprofessional. While I am happy to tip 20% for excellent service, an additional 4% specifically for employee healthcare felt somewhat excessive. The restaurants should build it in to their food. The customers should not have to incurred this cost. That's why some LA restaurants lost customers because of this fee.

What an enjoyable culinary experience! Watching the entire kitchen in action was both a treat and the highlight of the evening. I had a great view, though my partner’s vantage point was more limited. The four-course menu was beautifully presented and delicious throughout. The non-alcoholic pairing complemented each dish perfectly and was well worth it. We were also pleasantly surprised by a few extra treats at both the beginning and end of the meal. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and there was no pressure to upsell additional items. Definitely will return for special occasions.

We came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and while it was a memorable evening, we likely won't be back. The ambiance was my favorite part. It has a cozy, unique, and peaceful atmosphere that made it feel like a special occasion. The service was also warm and attentive throughout the meal. We opted for the four-course menu. Throughout the evening, the kitchen also brought out several small complimentary bites between courses, and interestingly, we found many of those to be more enjoyable than some of the dishes on the tasting menu itself. We started with the lamb tartare, which we enjoyed, though it leaned a bit bland. The scallop was cooked perfectly, but the vegetable pairing didn't quite work for us. The croque madame featured delicious caviar and Ibérico ham, but it felt overpriced considering it was served on a slice of bread with only a small amount of each. The pork course was probably the most underwhelming. It wasn't bad, but it was very middle of the road. The meat was a bit dry, and for the main course, we expected something more memorable. My husband's trout ended up being the best dish of the night. It was beautifully cooked, paired well with the vegetables, and the sauce was perfectly balanced. Both desserts were just okay, and I didn't finish my strawberry mocktail because it wasn't very enjoyable. Overall, we left feeling that the food and drinks didn't justify the $450 price tag. We genuinely loved the ambiance and appreciated the great service, but we expected more from a Michelin-starred restaurant. The meal had its highlights, but it didn't consistently deliver the level of creativity or execution we were hoping for, especially since several of the complimentary bites ended up being more memorable than the four-course menu itself.
