Nice dinner. Owner was super nice. Wine was good. We ate early and place was fairly quiet but filled in as we were finishing up. Dessert was great and topped it off with our first Waymo ride back to our car.

My boyfriend chose this place to celebrate my birthday dinner and I am so glad that he did. The ambiance of the restaurant is both warm and intimate. During our dinner, they only had one server plus the bartender was also helping her out. She did an amazing job at catering to all of the other tables' needs considering she was the only one serving the whole restaurant. The food was top tier! Prices are reasonable, portions are huge and flavors were just moutwateringly good! We started off with a dozen of Escargot and a bowl of French Onion Soup paired with our drinks of choice, Blackberry Mint Julep and a glass of red wine. For our mains, we shared the Burgundy Pizza and Beef Bourguignon. Everything we ordered was so good and we were really surprised how delicious everything was! Lastly for our dessert, the server gave us a complimentary birthday Pistachio Creme Brulee plus two glasses of bubbly. Thank you very much to the team behind L'appart. My birthday dinner is another memorable one. I will for sure recommend this place to family and friends.

Wonderful experience! It's nice to find another hidden gem in town. Felt like a locals place in the best sort of way and being that I am one as well I felt extra comfortable. It's especially a great date spot but I would go on any occasion honestly. Our waitress was very polite and checked in on us many times. I started with the French Onion Soup which was very good although different than what I'm used to being they used white onions but the surprise actually made the dish more unique. I then followed up with the Beef Burgundy which was rustic and hearty and filled with delicious veggies, pearl onions, and an awesome rich stew. I love inland French cuisine and this dish did not disappoint. Parking can be a bit tricky but there are many pay lots close as well that won't charge more than 10. They don't have many tables inside so I would suggest booking ahead. Very enjoyable experience and I would recommend to any French food fan or anyone looking for a good dinner.

Absolutely authentic French experience! The service was amazing for european standards, they might not overwhelm you with joy but they will make sure things are to your taste! The evening was absolutely fantastic, the food was spectacular in terms of presentation, taste and for a very good price as well. Some older couple that I met at the restaurant said that for them the area was a little sketchy, and is true, specially the part of a little, not too much really... At the end, the bill had a little subcharge that unless you ask, they might not tell you what it is, but that they will remove if it bothers you, for us it didn’t, the waiter said that it was a charge due to inflation and considering the great experience and the overall good prices for the food, we didn’t mind paying it, I strongly advise you, if you can, do the same... But it is definitely a must visit if you like French food

Just became my top1 hidden gem restaurant in dtla, atmosphere, service and food are impeccable. Must order escargots, scallop risotto and rib eye steak! The cheese platter is pretty amazing too. We always bring our own wine and the corkage is very reasonable 25/bottle.

Very high quality food with incredible attention to detail, very accommodating service with absolutely no attitude, and very aesthetic atmosphere with very good attention to detail. My dinner partner was late but they are very chill about sitting. While I waited I got the (Baja origin) oysters with a mango and pomelo gele, which I was a little concerned about being too sweet and strong to over power the oysters, but quite unexpectedly it was subtle. I was very upset that there was no French onion soup as I heard it was the best soup of that y type in LA, so we got the pizza with snails as an appetizer and it was delicious . For the main , I got the duck confit with a piquant red fruit sauce and it was outstanding... Not to rich! How did they do that? Partner got the lamb shank which was good too with its sauce. I'm still glad I got the confit. Will return for the bœuf bourguignon, which they make with red miso and butternut squash. Strangely inexpensive, or at least well priced. Reasonable enough that I could become a regular...
