" Bonaparte Bistro is a hidden gem at Hermosa Beach! I enjoyed a fantastic brunch with friends. The menu offered a great variety of options, and I opted for the avocado toast and pastries which were fresh and delectable. The atmosphere was light and airy with warm sunlight pouring in. The service was prompt, and we received our meals quickly, despite the lunch rush. I plan to return to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" A must-visit if you're taking a trip to Hermosa Beach! The ambiance here is delightful, and the service was friendly and attentive. While the dishes I tried were very tasty, I was a little disappointed by the portion sizes, which felt on the smaller side compared to some of my favorite eating spots. Regardless, the quality of the food was superb, and I would visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Bonaparte Bistro was truly memorable. The atmosphere was fantastic, making it a perfect spot for a cozy dinner. I tried their famous mushroom soup, which was genuinely the best I've ever had—rich and creamy, with just the right seasoning. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure that every need was met. Although I found the portion to be on the smaller side, the quality of the food was impeccable. I can’t recommend this bistro enough for anyone looking for delicious food and a relaxed vibe! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot speak highly enough of Bonaparte Bistro! We went for our anniversary dinner, and the service was impeccable. The waiter was knowledgeable and patient, helping us navigate the extensive menu. I ordered the lamb shank, and it was the best I've ever had—melting off the bone and served with a rich gravy. My partner loved their seafood pasta, which had an exquisite sauce. To top it all off, the ambiance was simply enchanting. We'll absolutely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Bonaparte Bistro after seeing so many positive reviews. I went there with my family for dinner last weekend, and while the food was generally good, I found the service to be a bit slow, especially since the restaurant wasn't too crowded at that time. I loved the truffle fries, and the ratatouille was flavorful, but my steak was overcooked, which was disappointing. Overall, the ambiance is nice, but I wish they could improve on their service speed without sacrificing food quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bonaparte Bistro has an incredible vibe that blends local charm with upscale planning. The crab rolls were outstanding while the ambiance was warm. However, finding parking nearby was a bit cumbersome, which delayed our entry. Despite the slight hiccup, the service was great, and overall this bistro left a strong impression on me! " (*Curated Review*)

" An absolute delight! Every part of our dining experience at Bonaparte Bistro was wonderful. My favorite was the lamb dish, tender and burst with flavor, but the real standout was the dessert—creme brulee that was exquisite! Service was swift and friendly, and overall, the atmosphere was just charming. If you want a memorable meal, definitely stop here. " (*Curated Review*)
