Pasjoli is an elevated French bistro from James Beard award-winning chef Dave Beran. The restaurant pays homage to French cuisine utilizing the bounty of produce available in Southern California. Rooted in classic French cooking and inspired by Parisian markets, pasjoli reflects Chef Dave’s thoughtful cooking style, showcasing his creative touches on bistro fare.

We serve a five-course prix fixe menu in our dining room and our secret garden. You'll be able to select your seating preference when you confirm your reservation. Please visit our website to see the most current menu.

Each evening, we have limited availability of pressed duck dinners. If you are interested in enjoying a pressed duck, please email info@pasjoli.com, and we will do our best to accommodate your request. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate vegan diets.

Incredible menu, food and service! The meats were delicious and perfectly cooked ! The atmosphere was so cosy spacious and nice ! We loved everything but thought the wine glasses and cocktails were totally overpriced ! (50$ for two drinks at minimum) that was the only sad thing

Lots of great dishes? But some things were overly salty and the service was a little weird.

Very good choice for my birthday. Servers were excellent. Old friendKeelie is there also, veery nice. Food, the special Pressed Duck 5 course $ 125 per person, vry good. Middle course superb along with great amuse and salad. Got to full for main course duck slices...all done perfectly. Generally a superb evening, but very expensive. I did buy a very expensive Burgundy from their list and. paid $b 75.00 corkage for my 1994 Bollinger RD champagne. It was atreat. Thered burgundy wa good, not great. It is an excellent restauant. We'll try the regular menu soon and their new place Selene in January...supposed t be more high end tasting menus. a very successful event.

Excellent elevated French cuisine. Beautiful space, friendly servers. A touch on the pricey side but the level of food is above par for the area. One complaint would be drink prices - cocktails and wines by the glass all start high, and their bottle list is great but very little that is entry level. Still, if you don't blink at the cost this is top notch.

Another excellent experience at pasjoli! The parisian gnocchi was unreal - absolutely stole the show after several delicious courses that preceded it.

Pasjolie is an excellent prix-fixe restaurant with two menu choices each evening. There is a limited list of wines by the glass -- and they are expensive -- but it doesn't matter because the list is all excellent. This is an exceptionally good restaurant with innovative Michelin star-caliber food and elegant presentation. The service is attentive and efficient. My wife and I were trying to figure out if our investment income is sufficient to allow us to visit once a month; it was that good. In terms of value for price, it is definitely worth it.
