"A small, busy French bistro. The LE PETIT RESTAURANT is divided into several intimate spaces. The largest room is the nearest to the kitchen and has tables and chairs. Our table of six was set on an enclosed patio, just outside the entrance to the main room. After the sun set, the street sounds softened. Very much like the Champs-Élysées, in Paris. Our waiter, Jose, is knowledgeable, friendly, and remarkably easy going. First drinks and warm crusty French bread, served with spreads of sweet butter, and dabs of roasted Egg Plant, Hummus, and Charissa. For medical reasons I must limit my alcohol intake. However, the wine list is extensive and I'm told very good. Our well plated meals were delivered in about 30 minutes. All came as ordered. My vegan pasta primavera, with angel hair pasta and par-cooked veggies in a light tomato sauce was magnifique. It had a wonderful texture and rich flavor. The others at the table had ordered steak with french fries, seafood paella, crispy duck, and broiled salmon. Each liked their meal, wishing only the duck had been a bit crispier. Servings are large. Most took home about half their meal. Desserts were large and delicious. None were vegan. We managed to eat, sit, and talk for almost 3 hours. That's when the chairs became uncomfortable. Except for the occasional street noise it was a quiet inviting atmosphere. Just like Paris. Everything is wheelchair accessible. Street parking is available but very tight. Valet parking is $9."
