What people say, in short
Violet Bistro is repeatedly recommended for steak frites in Westwood. One diner praises the steak au poivre and fries after visiting, while other commenters single out the peppercorn sauce and atmosphere. A diner describes the outdoor patio enthusiastically. The praise has qualifications: one calls it a top classic steak-frites choice while preferring other cuts elsewhere, and another likes it without claiming it is LA's best. The sauce has broader support than any claim of universal superiority.
