Swung by simonette for drinks and apps last Friday and the ambiance is IT. Dope lighting, interesting layout and decor that gives a different vibe indoors vs outdoors. Choose your adventure. My date and I had the Clams Simonette and stuffed peppers. The clams were perfectly cooked and bathed in a luscious Café de Paris butter that adds a rich, creamy depth to every bite. The garlic breadcrumbs on top provide a satisfying crunch and an extra layer of flavor that complements the tender clams beautifully. The flavor of the peppers were terrific, but they got cold pretty fast! Definitely should have eaten those first, but the clams looked so damn tasty we had to dive into that first! Simonette is a BEAUTIFUL establishment and a great experience overall.

Love this place! Absolutely obsessed with their burgers. Their drinks are really good too. I love that they have different nightly specials like martini Tuesdays and happy hour. Just read the menu and you'll know what's part of the happy hour or not. Nice decor and vibe too. Service was good, although it looked like our server was handling too many tables, although as someone with hospitality experience I know how that goes. The table next to us was not as kind. Just be nice to your servers and bartenders y'all, they're doing the best they can, and if you have an issue, there's a way to say things!

I went here with my friend who just so happens to be French. I had my doggie and she had her little baby boy. I have to give the waiter credit. We were a full table with a baby and a little doggie, but he was so great! Really professional and nice about everything. My doggie was quiet and her little one was pretty good for a baby boy. I had the burger and a salad and she had the croque madam. Both were delicious and we used a glass of champagne to help it all go down. We had to sit inside because the exterior was full, but they were really nice about my having the dog and I appreciate that. I think it may also be because it's inside a hotel. I would definitely go back again. Highly recommend you try this secret little spot! You won't be disappointed.

Super cute restaurant in the heart of Culver's city. On a Friday night at 7pm, it was very busy. The service was excellent. I ordered a glass of champagne and a salad. Super fresh. I will come back when I'm hungrier to try more things from the menu.

French onion soup-5/5. That delicious flaky pastry on top is to die for. Croquettes-5/5 and that sauce served with it is amazing! Cocktails and bartenders-5/5. Their recommendations are spot on! Delicious every time. Service-5/5. They are friendly but not quick. This place is always packed so expect a long long wait. Waited about 45 minutes at the bar before getting seated. Ambiance-5/5. Very beautiful, chic, Parisian vibe. Gorgeous lighting and details surrounded by trees and plants. Can't wait to come back again and again.

May 2024 / Culver City: Beautiful place! I met up with my best friend for breakfast! He suggested Simonette, a place he had eaten at three times! Excellent, as I can always appreciate beautiful surroundings! Inner & Outer Beauty: The blue building caught my eye, the interior is gorgeous & we enjoyed sitting out on the patio! The greenery surrounding us, marble tables & the trees blowing in the wind was a beautiful display of elegance! Omelette (3/5): We had missed breakfast; looked at the lunch menu. I ordered the omelette, which was light & fluffy, oozing with comte cheese. Simple omelette for a simple palate...that is not me. Haha! I like the razzle dazzle! I asked for salt & pepper (thanks again)...then salsa. There was no salsa. I was offered hot sauce, thank you, but no thank you. Ok, it's a French restaurant...and I was recently in France late last year & had flavorful meals! I was looking for flavor. I enjoyed my cranberry juice! Overall: It's a gorgeous place, loved the patio area and it was nice trying a new place.

Did a random Yelp search for dinner one day and what came up was Simonette. Probably one of the most pleasant French (or French inspired) restaurants you'll want to try! I took a chance with the steak and frites and it was heaven, the flavor and plating of the meal was perfect. My compliments to the chef. There's a great selection of wine available to pair with your meal so give that a look too. The service is top notch too. Offering wonderful suggestions and taking care of your table with delight. And while you're being pampered, take a moment to take in the decor of the place. It's tasteful and refreshing and I believe really enhances the dining experience. Overall: A first impression can make or break a place these days. I'm hoping to become a regular here in the days to come! Bon appétit!

Simonette never disappoints! We weee craving some yummy French food especially their French onion soup. It's gotta be the best French Onion soup in town. We like it so much that we usually order one first and eat it while it's hot and then order another later in the meal. We had a fantastic server who was super friendly and made our dining experience a fun one. She was really sweet to our 6 year old son. All the other wait staff were really nice as well. Great ambiance of outdoor and indoor dining. Simonette continues to be our go to French restaurant!
