Nice spot for lunch. I saw they had philly cheesesteak sliders so I had to gice it a try. The sliders were good, very good. Juicy, lots of flavor, and the portion was perfect. Another nice surprise was the fries; crispy and fresh. Not oily at all. Definitely a place I will look to try again, breakfast and lunch. Enter through the right side to be seated. Parking can be a slight issue when the area is busy, but not impossible. I came during a weekday, noon period and parked across the street without issue. Ooh, and rhey have teas and coffees.... Definitely need to try that next tine!

Ambiance takes you straight to the French Quarter! I love their polenta dish with a glass of wine!!! Great place to unwind after a long week at work.

Super cute rustic-looking restaurant with nice ambiance. Lots of menu choices for food and drink. I would say that the food was a bit on the pricier side, though it was good. There is a lot of effort that goes into the charcuterie board, however the choose your own cheeses led us on the wrong path and we ended up getting some stinky cheese! I would suggest going off of their pre-selected boards instead. The shop also had some cute items, including sour beers! I am interested in returning to for breakfast or to the cafe.

Really lovely place, and was great sitting outside under shade on such a nice day. I ordered a blood Mary and the avocado toast with poached eggs. I would have liked the toast more without the sprouts, it added just a weird taste to it. Other than that ow ould definitely be back!

Bon Vivant is a treasure. Their menu is thoughtfully curated; their drinks list has something for everyone. We went to meet a friend and split a charcuterie board. The presentation was just darling: a little basket of pretty plates, cutlery and napkins, and a scrumptious baguette. The charcuterie arrangement itself had delicious cheese, fresh and dried fruit, and a little pot of olives and pickled peppers that I still think about - I have not been able to find anything like those peppers at any market. Though we just popped in for a drink and that board, I feel our visit to Bon Vivant was so special because of the care they put into how they serve, what they serve, how they decorate. I can't wait to come back and bring more friends.

I recently came here for breakfast to celebrate one of my best friend's graduation. We came on a Sunday so we thought it was going to be packed. To our surprise, it was really easy to find seats for a party of 8 here. I ordered the breakfast burrito and a vanilla latte. My meal came out to about $35 with taxes and tip. The breakfast burrito was filling. I was only able to eat half of it actually. I wish the burrito was toasted instead of drenched with sauce though, but it was still decent. Breakfast burrito was $18 + $3 for bacon and my latte was $7.50 Parking here in Atwater Village is generally a bit difficult, but we were able to find parking in the residential area.

Came here on a Tuesday evening twice and it's not busy. I love the ambience and the waiters are friendly. There is outdoor seating as well. They are known for their chicken pot pie. It's the best i've ever had. Warm, flaky, and filling. I've also had the Brie burger with fries and it's amazing. Plus it's dog friendly! They gave my pup water and a treat. Will keep coming back!!
