Le Sanglier French Restaurant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

A real hidden gem in the valley. I have been to all French bistros in the valley and this is easily in my top two or three. Being that there are six that I know of it really is better than most. I love how it’s tucked just off Ventura Blvd so parking is easier and it feels more like a neighborhood restaurant that way. It’s small on the inside but the seating is really laid out well with lots of different booths and seating options. The menu is small but has a lot of great options. Tonight however I chose solely from the specials menu.

I started off with the Bone Marrow appetizer and it was fantastic. The gravy they put on top of it really added to the flavor and made me want to order another. Honestly it was one of the better bone marrow appetizers I have had in town. For my entrée I chose the special for the night the Pacific Dory Grenobloise. Delicious sauce which I’ve had before, with one of my favorite fishes: the John Dory. It was cooked perfectly and was a great sized portion. Finally for dessert I topped it off with a Grand Marnier Soufflé and loved it. It was done perfectly and better than a lot of others I have had in town being that this is my favorite dessert so I order it as often as I can.

Overall a fantastic meal in a very casual but classy environment. I would recommend to anyone dining in the valley, any fan of French bistros, or anyone looking for...

Faux French food served at obscene prices, after which you are cheated on your bill.

The food here is strictly mediocre at best. I could not believe how dry, tough and tasteless my rack of lamb was. However, the poor quality of the food is not the worst of it. I was horrified to see the total amount on our bill, so I tried reading the itemized receipt. Unfortunately, it was hand-written and virtually illegible, specially in a dimly lit restaurant. I did take pictures of both sides of the check with my phone. This place does not give you an itemized bill after they charge your credit card. After I got home, I carefully went through all the items we ordered. They had charged us for the more expensive wine on the list, not the one we ordered. Most of the other items were charged correctly. However, the total amount did not add up correctly. We were overcharged by $180.

If you are shocked when you are presented with the check, don't be embarrassed to ask for a printed, itemized bill, if the one they give you is illegible. Take out your calculator and make sure the total adds up correctly.

Overall, this is a pretentious, overpriced restaurant which has a very dishonest owner. You can get better French food elsewhere for one...

Tucked away in a corner of Tarzana, Le Sanglier was well work the 25 miles and 1 hour and 15 minutes it took me to get there.

In full disclosure, I went with a Living Social deal which entitled me to a pre-fixed menu for two.

Although we arrived, 15 minutes late to our reservation, we were seated right away. Well, we would be anyway as there were absolutely no patrons in the restaurant.

I presented my deal right away, so as to avoid any confusion later on, and in return, we were given the pre-fix menu - each course (there were four) with at least two choices - with the exception of desert, this was chef's choice.

I ended up with the following: -Dinner Salad -Beet and Bean with Goat Cheese Appetizer -Pork Tenderloin -Apple Tart (this was the chef's choice)

All of my dishes were well executed, plated beautifully and served at the right temperature. My favorite dish had to be the Beet and Bean with Goat Cheese Appetizer. The combination of flavors was phenomenal - nothing like I've ever had before.

From start to finish, I had a great dining experience. Service was flawless.

Because no other parties showed up (except towards the desert course) it almost felt like a private dining experience - and I have no...
