   Very well prepared french bistro classics. Food was served hot and in a pleasing way. Quality ingredients and very tasty. The vegetarian ravioli dauphinois were a hit. Millefeuille dessert ( although a steep departure on traditional recipe) was excellent.

   A real shame. When you walk in, it’s impressive then everything goes downhill . This was our anniversary and we live in the area and thought we’d try something new to us. Lumiere was a very bad choice. We got the seafood tower - tasteless. Bad. Nothing on there from the shrimp to the tiny oysters had any flavor at all. The small size drinks were completely unimpressive so then I looked forward to our entrees. Oh my gosh… to begin I ordered the chicken breast with veggies and morel mushrooms. What I got was a thigh and leg ( very small and because I asked for fry’s instead of their other potato, I did not have the sauce, veggies or mushrooms. Then what happened was a joke. I told the server and what she brought was one tablespoon of sauce two small asparagus and two tiny mushrooms. The chicken was so dried out that I couldn’t even swallow it. Uneatable. The entire thing from start to finish was awful. Ruined our anniversary dinner. The server was a happy person and was happy to help but she couldn’t change the lousy food. Even down to misinformation in the menu! Don’t write chicken breast ( white meat) and serve a small thigh and leg ( dark meat)!!! Dishonest. Do you really think customers don’t notice? And serve fresh items on your seafood tower, not frozen, defrosted items with no flavor! If the seafood was fresh, why was it all tasteless?

   Dear Judy, First and foremost, I want to sincerely apologize for the experience you had at Lumiere. I am truly sorry that your anniversary celebration was marred by the issues you encountered, and I understand your frustration. This is not the level of quality or attention to detail we aim to deliver. We take feedback like yours very seriously. I will be personally addressing the discrepancies in the menu description and working with our kitchen team to ensure that all dishes are served as advertised and to the highest standard of quality. Once again, I am truly sorry for the disappointment you experienced, and I appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We will do everything in our power to make sure this does not happen again. Kind regards, Restaurant Manager Lumiere

   Es wurde ein Weihnachts angeboten, dass nicht im Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis entsprach. Das Restaurant hatte keine Atmosphäre, geschweige eine weihnachtliche Atmosphäre. Die Klimaanlage war zu kühl eingestellt.

   For a lighter (relatively speaking) meal, the onion soup has long been a go-to, and the steak tartare will now be likewise — glad I tried it.

    We came in at 9 PM on a Monday for our anniversary, so the place wasn't very busy. The waitstaff was incredible! Our server was warm and helpful, and shared some great history about the hotel and the area. His suggestions were on point and the cocktails were strong. We felt right at home even though they were closing soon. The shared plates were amazing, especially the chicken liver mousse with olive oil jam. I would eat this every day of my life if I could afford it. Absolutely perfect. Their French onion soup was also the best I've ever had. To our server's credit, he did recommend the pork chop but I was in the mood for the bouillabaisse instead, curious to see if it could live up to the legendary, god-tier bouillabaisse at PK Oyster Bar in Vegas. I set myself up for disappointment. Too thin for my taste, too little seasoning. The steak frites plate was solid, if a little overcooked. Fries and broccolini were great though. We'll definitely be back and take the staff's advice on entrees next time! (Side note: Lumiere management, if you're reading this: you're on the verge of greatness if you can get your bouillabaisse recipe anywhere near Oyster Bar's level. More saffron, a bit of cream, and some spice. That bowl is one of the best meals on the planet and no restaurant in LA has been able to nail it down.)
