Food was tasty but expensive. For this amount of money I 'll go to Craig 's or Dan Tana 's or Wally 's. Place was almost empty which is very depressing. My wife asked if they could make her a 'strawberry margarita ', and they charged an 'extra ' 9 dollars for that. 9 dollars to chop up a strawberry. Not cool. And Valet parking was 10 dollars. 10 dollars for a place that is almost empty. 37 dollars for short ribs is not cheap. I know it costs more at some restaurants but there is usually more to it, more atmosphere, a more exciting bar, a more attractive surrounding. Drop the prices, expand the menu and you might have a chance to survive. The refried beans are very good as recommended by Jona...
Diego Hernandez is one of the most important chefs in the Western Hemisphere. After the opening of Corazón de Tierra in Baja California, Verlaine marks his first restaurant in the United States. The food is organic and sourced locally. The fried beans were beautifully complemented by homemade flour tortillas. The half chicken was perfectly cooked, and the cactus salad and ceviche we ordered were outstanding. We tried the Old Fashioned (made with brandy), which was a delicious cocktail. However, on the night we visited, it was raining, and we were seated in the front room where a birthday party was taking place, making it quite loud. We're looking forward to returning and sitting on the back...
What an incredible place! The food was amazing, and the drinks were refreshing and well-balanced. I tried the spicy pineapple margarita, which was delicious. We ordered the muffuletta flatbread and the bacon burger, and everything was cooked to perfection. This spot is definitely going to be the next hot destination. The kitchen offers high-quality food at a very reasonable price, especially given its location. Having visited Studio City and Burbank, I can confidently say that this one will be the biggest hit by far! Grandville has raised the bar for what makes a great restaurant.
This is such a great spot. The ambience is great, and the place looks amazing. The staff is the most attentive, and friendliest around. Now the food..comes out of the kitchen and arrives at your table with such precision presentation, and aroma, that when you take your first bite, you are blown away by the amazing flavor. I have been here a few times, and will be returning often!!! Thanks Granville for creating such an amazing new eatery here in West Hollywood.

You're sweating, right? I came to the restaurant in time for my reservation, and the valet of the place next door tells me that verlaine is closed, permanently. Even if a restaurant goes out of business, I would expect a call to advise me and suggest a reservation elsewhere. it's no wonder they had to fold. this is most likely a direct reflection on how they run their restaurant when it was open!
Verlaine has a cool vibe and great food. This is Mexican food with a unique perspective. Delicious, interesting sauces. Unique takes on dishes that you might not otherwise consider. I recommend the black beans, with the cheese and spices they add that make it really delicious.
We had an amazing time! The food was excellent, especially the pork chop—it was thick, juicy, tender, and full of flavor! The service was outstanding as well. We'll definitely be back in no time!
My husband and I are always on the look out for new places to eat we hit the jackpot! Beautiful ambiance, great service and extraordinary food. Wonderful experience we’ll be going back often.

Our server was great, the ambiance and design was amazing, and the food was unique and delicious. Makes me want to go to Mexico City where the chef gets his modern inspiration.
Wonderful food and service. Found the selection a bit lacking and the prices high. Had a great, imaginative cocktail.
