THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Paul's Cafe Restaurant Review:


In late 2000, founder Paul Lloyd moved down the street to a larger space in Tarzana and sold this, the original Paul’s Café, to a couple of staffers. The concept, originally inspired by Café Bizou---which includes salad or soup for a buck with any entrée and an attractive $2 corkage fee---has been kept intact. Also kept intact is the inviting décor of the two small dining rooms, with white walls lined with bold gallery art and tables topped with white linen and butcher paper, candles and fresh flowers. The quality of the ingredients is noticeably high and lots of organic produce goes into the well-conceived California cuisine. Starters include crab cakes with lobster aïoli, sashimi-grade ahi with a creamy scallion vinaigrette, and coconut shrimp with mango relish. Rack of lamb, duck breast with truffle-Cabernet sauce, and scallops in lemon-orange-saffron vinaigrette reflect the interesting selection of entrées, consistently well executed.
