The Little Door

The atmosphere and service were excellent. Sitting outside is a rare experience which everyone has to try once. As for the food, it was an off night for me. All items (oysters, octopus, uni pasta and sea bass) we tried had a mix of flavors that did not work for us. All were extremely sweet, and did not compliment the atmosphere.

The Little Door is a charming French restaurant! They serve delicious dishes in a very intimate setting, creating the most romantic ambiance. Service was efficient and polite. This is a cute, intimate environment for a romantic dinner. I will be back soon.

A very cozy place with a bit dark interiors ( very well lit though) built around a tree and bougenvalia vines flowing through makes The Little Door an exquisite dinner spot ( the black cat deco and painting pieces all around make me give them more than 5 stars if possible) . Not sure if I noticed parking lot around but we took a Lyft ride and didn't have to worry about it. Checked in and were seated in a nice intimate corner table and our server David F greeted us and informed us about the specials for the evening. We ordered the Piri Piri Shrimp to begin with and it was yummy yum. The Piri Piri sauce was made to perfection and the presentation with some cilantro and thin radish slices made it a perfect way to start our evening. We followed that with the order of seabass, duck fat cabbage and the filet mignon. Like all good things that take time our order took a bit to come out though once it was out we got to work. The Seabass with the sauce and veggies was to die for and was done to perfection. Heard great reviews about the filet mignon and the cabbage as well. As we wrapped up our dinner, we were presented a blackboard with options for the desert and chose Baked Alaska. The desert was out in no time and the presentation was pretty exquisite. The desert itself can be a bit overwhelming in taste towards the end ( as rum is poured over it and set on fire and it gets absorbed a little bit towards the end while most of it is already burnt - we were not aware of the alcohol part and found it out later- would have been great to know ahead of time ) and we didn’t end up eating the last bits though if you like rum in your food you would go for it. All in all a great experience , great hosts , amazing vibes, awesome setup, location and something that we can repeat but being careful and checking about the use of alcohol in the items that we order

The Little Door certainly has to be LA’s most romantic restaurant and the main reason to visit. The food is delicious but not out of this world. Each dish gets the attention that its preparation and price deserve and the staff is knowledgable, friendly and attentive. It’s a place for a special occasion but even the housemade parker rolls lacked a bit of oomph.

This establishment is romantic, sexy, trendy, and overall an incredible destination for date night, visitors and a place for friends to get together. The dim space is alluring and inviting with beautiful twinkling lights and candles. The wine selection is immense with choices from Italy, France, and local CA wines from Napa, Sonoma, and Paso Robles. I was incredibly indecisive on my entree considering all the deliciously sounding choices. I was quite impressed with my Porcini Pappardelle and my husbands choice of the Filet Mignon. Even the Mezze plate starter was spectacular in quality and portion size. We ended our meal with the Crème brûlée which was no doubt delectable. Our fabulous waitress was wonderful and very helpful. It’s good to note that Valet is available, there’s a food minimum of $45 per person and reservations should be made ahead of time. We will definitely return and give an overall 10/10 A+ 100%
