Review for Little Next Door 
European feeling for sure.
being European I can relate to this, don't expect huge portions,but just enjoy the quality of excellent pastry and coffee.
Decoration is gorgeous, very authentic as if you are in Paris.
Food is good, can highly recommend the Croque Monsieur.
Staff can be a bit brusque, but is friendly (although not always fast due to high rate of customers).
Excellent coffee and pastry.

My Favorite Restaurant in LA 
The Little Door is my favorite restaurant in LA. You should usually make the reservation at least a week in advance to secure a table. Ask to sit in the garden (although people are allowed to smoke outside) If that bothers you the blue room is very cozy and romantic. Sophisticated French-Mediterranean food focuses on organic, local and seasonal elements. The beet salad is amazing and I don't like beets. Bring your own wine or choose from their great selection. PLEASE don't skip on dessert.

Very VERY yummy- but Expensive!
This place is great to go if you want a small plate of very tasty, unique and well prepared french food. Don't expect to have a to-go bag here- portions are tiny. Prices are ridiculous- but if cost isn't an option then do come here for the amazing food!

Croque Madame's

Cons: parking

Truly a French Experience
Sunday brunch is good here if you like hustle, bustle, and gossip, LA style. Dont expect to spend hours brunching. On weekdays, go to lunch here before going to the LACMA. Little Next Deal is the best for the price- soup, salad, half sandwich and a macaron. Their croissant amande and Pain au chocolat are just like the patisseries in Paris. Macarons are expensive, but I prefer them to Boule. I did once have an omelets which was small, overpriced and not worth it. Service in general was okay, but I felt somewhat rushed on Sunday. For lunch, however, they were more accommodating. Come here to enjoy the taste of the food in true french style (i.e. portions are small). Not for the ravenous.
Pros: Great atmosphere and vibe
Cons: Servers can be rude

French all the way to unfriendly service..
I enjoyed my food but I think my expectations were a bit heightened. I ordered the crab sandwich which turned out to be an open faced and half the amount of food I thought it would be. Then I shared a beet salad with my friend which feature both red and golden baby beets and a smooth crumbled cheese: delicious. She ordered the steak frites which was good.
For dessert, we tried a small kumquat tart which was delicious but didn't wow us.
Expect a French treatment, slow and unfriendly, just like Paris. By the way they are more $$$$ than $$ for what they serve.
Pros: Nice ambience
Cons: slow, unfriendly service

never again
one good thing about this place: the ambience is great, and that's why i went there last week for the first time.
they forgot our order, the coffee was aweful, the bread was hard, they forgot again about my boyfriends order, Totally overprized and the food is aweful.
At least they tried to make it up and were kinda nice. But i wont go there again.
Vienna cafe on melrose is ten times better

Great Food and Well Worth the Wait.
I first ate at "Little Next Door" about two years ago with Robert Wagner and Chris Aable. We enjoyed all the dishes thoroughly and we all agreed it was like dining in France all over again. We've since been back many times, as have others I've recommended this place to: Will Smith and Bruce Willis among them. The French pastries are wonderful and authentic, as good as the ones served in Paris. Apparently a lot of locals agree with our assessment of their wonderful food, because the place is always busy, but well wort the wait.
Pros: Great food for a European Experience.
Cons: The food takes time, but all good things do.
