on Citysearch Oct 15, 2008This is not one of the better locations. The one on Venice and the one in Manhattan Beach are alot better. Service could have been a whole lot better. (more)

on Citysearch Oct 05, 2008<b>In Short</b><br>The happy-go-lucky atmosphere in this non-descript dining room is fueled by low prices and the thick garlic aroma. Waiters in guayaberas serve groups of college students, families and... (more)

on Citysearch May 04, 2008The fried plaintains are so good! They cut them in pieces about the size of your finger and they're not greasy at all. Very sweet and delicious. I've ordered the shrimp and rice (average), the pork sandwich (meat good,... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 23, 2008This place has the best garlic chicken ever! I also highly recommend getting a pitcher of Sangria. Sometimes there is a little wait but it is totally worth it. The steak dishes are also yummy!... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 24, 2008Tried this restaurant - ordered my favorite Garlic Chicken/Pork combo plate. Was disappointed, pales in comparison to the same at the WLA location on Venice Blvd. Service was gruff, although the food came to the... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 23, 2007We would certainly not recommend Versailles in Encino, Ca! Stay away from this restaurant!! Terrible waiters, sloppy, impolite...poor management down to the ownership. Pitiful! Our group just came back from... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 07, 2007The eclectic Cuban-style food comes quickly at this place, and the service is both humble and friendly. The sangria is delicious and the atmosphere is at once upbeat and mellow. I really liked the arroz con pollo and... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 27, 2006Need to say more.... you've got to taste this heavenly chicken. Moist, juicy and savory and ridden with garlic. If you like garlic this is the place to get this delicious garlic oven roasted chicken. Every time I come... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 16, 2006The chicken and black rice is very good, mix it up with the platanos and it's even better. Their sangria is pretty good, but a bit pricey. (more)

on Citysearch Aug 07, 2006As a seafood vegetarian, this was a wrong place to go. I am sure their signature chicken dishes are what attract the crowds, but the various seafood dishes were less than friendly to my pallet.... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 07, 2006I've been several Versailles locations and have not been disappointed. Although the decor is old and the tables are ancient, I've never been disappointed with any of the dishes. The people that frequent this type of... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 26, 2006I've been coming here for nearly a decade. The garlic chicken is to die for and the prices are very reasonable. The establishment crams people in, so it's noisy and not particularly relaxing, but once you've tasted... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 22, 2006i dined at versailles a little while ago and ordered the garlic chicken, which seemed to be the popular item on the menu. I was expecting a flavorful sauce that lived up to the hype..instead it was more like italian... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 10, 2005Although they do have freindly staff and the food arrives really fast it does not worth the visit to anyone who actually likes food. Very dry 1/2 chicken plate with steamed white rice for $10 is too much. Their garlic... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 13, 2005A restaurant where the line can be seen from the street, Versailles is a popular restaurant full of families and couples. It's a down-home Cuban environment that specializes in chicken. The last time I was there, the... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 26, 2005This place has delicious food at a really cheap price. I normally go for dinner and get the Rib-eye (hint: if you want medium, ask for medium rare and so on) and I always ask for their garlic sauce on the side to have with my... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 09, 2003This restaurant has the best Cuban food most of the time you have to make a line to get in but it is quite worth it. The food is wonderfully delicious I specially like the 1/2 chicken with a garlic and onion sauce, it's... (more)

on Citysearch May 23, 2003I read one review here where someone complains about a watered down tequila shots. Also in the same review, no parking, and bad service. I was reluctant but went with my family who had their heart set. I discovered they... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 06, 2003Versailles is one of those places where you get a good meal for a good price. I've never had Cuban food before, but after trying Versailles I was hooked. (more)

on Citysearch Feb 06, 2003This is as close as you can get to a roasted pig without having to go to all the trouble and day-long ordeal of roasting it yourself and you can have it year-round. We do our own every 24th of December in keeping with... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 28, 2003I went to Versailles once. Wasn't Impressed. The food was bland, the drinks were bland, and the lines were long. Skip it. (more)

on Citysearch Jan 14, 2003This is the closest I've had to mom's cooking. I grew up on picadillo, ropa vieja, palomillo steak and arrooz con pollo. They have it all, and friendly staff. The chicken special is to die for and is served up muy rapido!... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 24, 2002Approximately amonth ago I was convinced by some friends to go to Versailles, I was expecting true Cuban food, what I found was a rude waiter, very commercialized food (no taste at all) and a water down drink. My friend... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 01, 2002This restaurant is normally always crowded. There is an abundant amount of garlic in their dishes, which is wonderful. Their food is good for the money. The ambience is more like a local restaurant, so don't expect... (more)
