A treasure on the outskirts of downtown. I almost don’t want to leave a review for fear the secret will get out!! This place has a lovely atmosphere, and is always playing the right music. The food is some of the best French plates in LA. Truly delicious variety of wine, and we easily finish a bottle every time. Can’t recommend enough! Oh and come early they close before most.

Lot's of great wines to try and great menu selections. We enjoyed a full dinner but it would be a great place to also stop in for a quick bite.

I have been coming to Oriel for years. Until tonight I could have easily given this place five stars. It’s a regular early dinner spot for me and my close friends. Tonight, I had a very unpleasant very obviously racist encounter with a waiter or manager. As I was walking to the restroom this employee I would describe as an old French man aggressively approaches me and yells “Hey! Hey! Um can I help you? Are you dining here?!” So loudly that other restaurant guests turn around to see what’s going on. I turned around and told him I have a table here with my friends and he backed off, rudely and obviously aware of the ridiculous mistake he’d just made. It saddens me to write this post, but you people should know better. Ridiculous.

What a lovely little place. Very chill, with outdoor seating. Parking around here is super easy too. The staff are wonderful, great with suggestions and lovely. Dimly lit, moody, relaxed vibe—quintessential Eastside vibes here. Good for a date, groups, and more.

Very interesting French bistro dinner in Chinatown.
Bone marrow, Duck pate, Beef tartare, and Escargots.
Should have order the dish one by one instead of all at once, because they all arrive at the same time. It will be nice to have more time to enjoy each one of them.
The neon light, noise from the gold line above make it feel and look like the Bladerunner movie set.

Excellent wine selection, great happy hour specials (try the tuna + rosé they’re perfect for one another!) ☼ super cute outdoor patio or indoor seated area thanks to their orange-cellophane-coated windows of the Florida room/entry way of their space ♡ perfect for an after-work friend date!
