Restaurant Review LinksListed below are links to reviews of Fraiche from around the web.
"Fraîche's menu could be called rustic Mediterranean, which gives the chef plenty of room to indulge in pastas, steak frites and favorite dishes from his travels. Plates are small but not exactly dainty, with bold flavors and combinations of ingredien..."
"First the maitre d' refuses to seat us (outside, at 6 pm, hardly anyone there) then said he could. The server wouldn't open the second bottle of wine we brought -- you can bring only one bottle per table, even for 4 people!..."
"That�s right, you have to slurp a tiny teaspoon of caviar, which comes with the cocktail, right before you sip the martini. You get two tiny teaspoons to be exact. Of course you�d have to like or not mind caviar to really enjoy this..."
"There was nowhere for three of us to sit there, which was too bad considering the bartender was putting on quite a show for his customers. He flambe’d something and then poured it into a martini glass...."
"I love Fraiche but find it too hard on my wallet for casual dining and cocktailing so naturally was ecstatic to find that they started a “Gourmet Hour.” Yes, their happy is so fancy it’s gourmet...."
"What's worth going to 'Ford's Filling Station' or 'Fraiche' in Culver City..."
"�The upscaling of Downtown Culver City picks up momentum with the April 26th opening of Fraiche (9411 Culver Blvd. ; 310-839-6800), perhaps the most elegant of the area�s culinary revivalists – a glass-fronted rustic..."
"The place felt a bit trendy and I was admittedly a bit under-dressed (I'm just not a "dressed up" person, I suppose), but I felt glaringly so this time around. We were seated outdoors, which was nice. I have to admit, service was pretty spotty. Our waitre..."
"Thought this was very good, but definitely not the best burrata I've eaten. This was a bit more 'cottage-cheese' like in texture but still retained creaminess...."
"In addition to an airy main room, Fraiche includes a large, street-facing patio, as well as a bar tucked away in the corner. At the bar you'll find specialty cocktails made with fresh juices as well as a different bar menu...."
"The $65 menu features selections like Pumpkin Soup, Rabbit Tortelli, Monkfish Francaise and Chocolate Roulade. The $85 menu is more elaborate, with added options such as Oysters with Caviar, Arctic Char, Roasted Quail and a Selection of Cheeses...."
"The service was a tad slow last night from taking the order to getting it to the table, although well executed, there was definitely some type of back log in the kitchen last night. ..."
"For all the hype I've heard about this place, I was rather disappointed. Is it just because what we got were not as good as a normal Fraiche meal?..."
"It is without a doubt that Fraiche has become one of the hottest restaurants/lounges/bars around, in the up and coming Culver City area where it is also making headlines quickily within the greater Metropolitan Los Angeles Area. The masterminds behind thi..."
"We had a little look-see at Fraiche in Culver City last night, it's debut. This new venture from chef Jason Travi and Thierry Perez sits right on Culver Boulevard, near the corner of Main Street; actually, just a few doors away from BottleRock, where both..."
"As it was, we were essentially rushed out after finishing our desserts. The host stood, glaring at us, while the bus boy cleared everything from in front of us, including water glasses that we were still drinking out of...."
"We each picked out a cocktail quickly and enjoyed noshing on the bread assortment served with tapenade. I can’t say I was impressed with the cocktails, especially at whopping $11 per drink...."
"He uses the traditional slotted absinthe spoon topped with a cube of sugar, then pours over the absinthe (it actually drips in from a spigot in the tower) along with some of his other elixirs...."
"Again we are in Culver City, where new, vaguely Mediterranean-influenced restaurants multiply like roly-poly bugs after a rain. And again, we are in the presence of stripped brick, an open kitchen, an ambitious wine list rich in Rhones, and women who wear..."
"Fraîche isn’t about pyrotechnics or lavish indulgences. It’s about abundantly flavorful food cooked with skill and sense and presented at restrained prices...."
"And thank God for places like Fraîche!..."
"A favorite of the night! The baby beets were sweeter than regular beets which I love. And beet and hazelnut gotta be my new favorite combination, they taste really great together. The ricotta was fresh tasting. I really love this dish...."
"Fraiche is good, and an excellent lunch choice if you're meeting people on the west side -- but I guess I'll reserve the "better than good" debate until after I check it out for dinner...."
"A huge kurobuta pork chop needed more seasoning. At least the platter of Kumamoto oysters was perfect...."
"Sweetish dressing on the mushroom salad, however, was an odd choice and detracted from earthy mushroomy flavor. A huge kurobuta pork chop needed more seasoning. At least the platter of Kumamoto oysters was perfect...."
"TripAdvisorâ„¢ provides unbiased reviews, articles, recommendations and opinions on Fraiche, Culver City...."
"They call it..."
"I had quite a wonderful dinner at the newly opened Fraiche in Culver City. They offer a special bar menu for the outdoor lounge and indoor bar area, which is nicely sequestered away form the main dining room...."
"Roasted beet salad with homemade ricotta is killer...."
"we had a fabulous hamburger, a delicious mushroom salad, an out of this world..."
