Opened in 2007 by Arjun Waney, the owner of Zuma and Roka, with Zuma chef Raphael Duntoye in charge of the kitchen, La Petit Maison was inspired by the original La Petit Maison in Nice. Here is the flavorful and rustic cuisine of Southern France with an emphasis on salads, seafood, and grilled meat served family style to a chic upbeat crowd. The simple, contemporary, light-filled room has a view of the kitchen.  To start, there is addictive crusty bread with olive oil and a quirky centerpiece comprised of a candle, lemons, and delicious tomatoes to slice and eat with the bread. But while the food is absolutely wonderful, the room can be very noisy. Favorites: beetroot salad; lentil salad; thinly sliced octopus; clams in tomato sauce; salt-crusted baked loup de mer; grilled lamb cutlets; baked leg of lamb for four; warm chocolate mousse with pistachio ice cream; warm apple tart with ice cream; prunes in armagnac with gingerbread ice cream.
