From Citysearch

In Short
While the concept of recreating a French village street inside a fancy Koreatown fusion restaurant might seem ambitious, if not awkward, the mission is acheived here with a whimsical Provencal scheme of exposed brick, wrought iron accents and indoor streetlamps. Indeed, the well-heeled Korean families and karaoke-belting 20-somethings that fill this place on weekends embrace it with unfettered delight. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls offer views of the outdoor courtyard artfully landscaped with dancing water fountains and fruit trees. European-influenced Japanese fare and tapas-style dishes include braised Kobe-style beef cheeks, seared sea scallops with uni-butter and lobster fusilli.

Hits: This is probably the best haute cuisine available at any L.A. karaoke parlor. Anyone looking for a romantic dinner or gourmet bento box lunch experience will enjoy the window view.

Misses:
The refined ''French villa'' atmosphere can't help but collide with boisterous weekend karaoke revelers, which can spoil the atmosphere for older diners.
