Best Contemporary French American Restaurants in Historic South-Central

Champagne and Caviar tasting. Exquisite! Delicious! A unique experience. Can’t wait until the next one!

It is so nice to have real French food! I am over going to places that call their menu "French". Tacos and not French. This place is the real deal, small, quite, quaint! I chose to go entree and ordered from the Starters and Sides in the vein of Tapas. What a great choise. Go, it's a must!

This was our first time to see a performance of the LA OPERA. I wanted to have dinner before the performance and felt that something at the Music Center itself would be best because of the traffic. Good call. Viewing the menu in advance of our evening, it seemed good but frankly, I had only moderate expectations. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! We started dinner out with a shared Caesar Salad which was excellent and the bread was fantastic. For dinner, my wife had the Steak Frites and I had the Brick1/2 Chicken. They were both superb. Our server was extremely polite and attentive. The noise level was low. You can talk and actually hear what the other person is saying. This is going to be our new go-to restaurant prior to attending performances.

Traxx offers good value for the money in an historic setting amid the vaulted ceilings of LA’s Union Station. The companion bar across the way makes good cocktails. They are open 11 to 8 and Traxx is for lunch or an early dinner.
