Celebrity foodies, chefs, and the cream of the neighborhood crop are now greeted by two soaring, opulent rooms.

A second "green room" features velvet upholstered walls, a high, marbled ceiling with peaked skylights, and elegant cream, violet and emerald accents. – – The Food – Passot's admirers include the late Julia Child for his refined California spin on…

Chef should be commended, and then a statue should be built in his honor. Maybe there's already one. I don't know.

Always Impressive

by michaelvar at Citysearch

I've eaten at La Folie off and on since 1995 and they have always been "on" for me. Exceptional food, excellent service and great atmosphere. Their sort of recent dining room remodel has added to the ambiance. Truly one of the best French restaurants around.

Pros: The food!
