Marvin

Marvin's food is fantastic! Marvin offers a ton of great French- American food. The service there at Marvin is a large thumbs up. The inside of the place has a lot of cans on the roof, for sound to come out. Overall, Marvin is the best French-American food place in LA

New York vibes in Beverly Grove! Super crowded and a nice spot to go for a date or group. We were a big group friends so even though we had a reservation it took them a while to seat us. But they made up for it and sent us some apps on the house. I loved loved loved the hamachi crudo it was amazing. The arugula fennel salad and chopped salad were very good too. I didn't like the Caesar salad it was way too fishy. Squash blossoms and truffle fries were a hit too. For entrees: We got the branzino and burger which were great too! I really didn't like the pomodoro or spicy vodka pastas and wouldn't get them again. I also don't love the steak as it's pretty salty. We got the date dessert which was good. Overall although not everything we got was excellent I did find some dishes that I would totally get again.

Overall, food was decent, but not really worth the prices. I enjoyed the jamon iberico as our starter. The veal chop was cooked decently with a nice crust but was underseasoned. Note that the space is cramped, with tables packed close together, and you really have to shout above the music and the surrounding conversations in order to be heard.

Everything here is so good! I've been a few times and never have any complaints. The burrata toast, the spicy vodka pasta chef's kiss. The wait for table is a little long, but the food is good! Great neighborhood spot

I recommend you make a reservation if you plan to dine during a popular time. The restaurant is a nice French style bistro, that seats patrons close together. I had the Cesar salad to start ($20) and steak frites ($69) which were both excellent and well portioned. This restaurant is good for a date, friends or family in town or an evening out. 20% gratuity is automatically applied.

The food was amazing and completely worth coming back for. The service was a little lackluster and at times a little rude. The space itself was cute, small and cozy.We ordered the fennel and arugula salad, which was super fresh and very tasty. The fried squash blossoms with marinara stuffed with cheese was definitely a must try. You have to get the rigatoni so much garlic we almost ordered a second one. the steak frites was cooked perfectly and was a great piece of meat. we added truffle and Parmesan to the fries which I would recommend if you want a little extra flavor. They also have a nice wine selection.If you're looking for great a meal with no interaction this is definitely the place to go. If you're looking for a friendly atmosphere and great service you might want to skip the space .

Took my parents here on a Thursday night. My mom is very picky but I think she enjoyed her time here, so that's a win. Reservations were available day-of but filled up quickly. The place was well-decorated and on the emptier side, but we watched it fill up with happy parties as it got closer to 7. Impressive selection of expensive wines and a a lot of stand-out menu items. We ordered a selection:SALAMI BURRATA HONEY TOAST ($20) Best thing on the menu! Creamy, cheesy, sweet, with crispy fluffy toast. Would come again just for this. I had the salami on the side and found it easier to eat that way. TOFFEE DATE CAKE ($14)Caramely and saucy. My next favorite dish. Sooo moist. With that dollop of vanilla ice cream she's just divine. Caesar salad ($19)Got light dressing and it was pretty solid. A little on the fishy side. Huge not-too-crispy croutons. Rigatoni spicy vodka ($26)Loved the al dente pasta. We asked for mild spice level and it was definitely mild! Not the best vodka sauce I've ever had but far from the worst. The generous heap of fresh basil on top put a smile on my face.Marvin cheeseburger ($24)My mom loved it! I thought it was simple, not too flavorful, but very moist. The French fries on the side, though! Awesome fries! We gobbled them right up.Overall, a nice place to take the parents, especially if they're into wine. The burrata and dessert really impressed me! The rest I probably wouldn't order again, but nothing was bad.

Cute restaurant within walking distance of Largo. Service was gruff but not surprising considering the auto 20% service fee (they clarify this is not a tip so we left extra, but def undeserved considering the chilly attitude). Burger was decent but a bit bland, and we loved the squash blossoms. Cheapest bottle of red was $70. Tables are super close together so wouldn't recommend if you're going for a romantic vibe.

This place is a disgrace. I sat down for 30 minutes without even being acknowledged. The place was empty and no service. No menu, no nothing. Not until I walked out, they told me to have a good night. Bad service id be surprised if this place survives. Only thing keeping this place together is the random hipsters who think it's good.

This is my favorite restaurant in LA. Anyone who is rating this less than five stars has no idea what they're talking about. The food is absolutely legendary. The wine list is sublime. Yes sometimes you have to wait but that's what happens when you're at an incredible restaurant. People that want to give lower stars because they have to wait a little bit are ridiculous. Don't try to hate on the restaurant down because you don't understand how restaurants work! Truly, there's not a bad thing on this menu. All the pastas are dream worthy and better than any Italian. The veal is incredible. One of the best cheeseburgers in LA. The meatballs are amazing. The burrata/honey/salami Devine. This is the place you want to go if you are in LA and want to go to a true neighborhood gem for people who understand quality.
