Time Out says

This former pop-up run by chef Miles Thompson and Lolo Wine Bar alum Andy Schwartz serves the most inventive, memorable and delicious wine bar fare I’ve ever had in Los Angeles. Back in 2023, the pair originally debuted Baby Bistro as a short-term pop-up inside Koreatown’s Hotel Normandie, where it quickly became one of the summer’s hottest tables. Now, the pair’s ultimate vision has come to life inside the same trendy Victor Heights complex as Perilla LA, Bakers Bench, Heavy Water and Cassell’s Hamburgers. The charming indoor atmosphere of the century-old former residence adds a stylish touch to a meal here, but the best seats in the house might actually be on the tiny back patio, where tables overlook a grove of banana trees and the complex’s lush garden. For a full meal, the menu is designed to be ordered in its entirety—which costs somewhere between $90 and $100, including supplements—though you can also order just a few for more of a drink and light bites experience. I loved the housemade onion bread, piled high with bright orange Liptauer cheese, and the clever, salt-forward cucumber squid salad, but Thompson lavishes every seasonal dish with the care and attention it deserves.
