I would add this to your “must stop here” places to eat. There are many options to choose from on their menu. I ordered the Frisee, Radicchio & Arugula with shrimp, and my daughter, who is allergic to gluten, ordered Evie’s Sauteed Vegetables with chicken. The food was really good. The servers were very friendly and helpful. Very relaxed atmosphere. We will come back here again when we visit the area again.

Cai Palmiter
The brunette “Tom boyish” server was the most awful server ever. If you’re having a bad day, don’t work, it shows. Didn’t checked on us, assumed food was delivered on our table and worst, no thank you or whatsoever. This is becoming a thing now here in LA. Entitled servers. The owner/manager was just tending to a couple of French guests but that’s about it.

This place is absolutely delicious with amazing staff! I had the penne bolognese and it was one of the best I’ve ever had, I highly recommend it. I also ordered bottomless mimosas and a vanilla latte with oatmeal. I honestly don’t have a single complaint about this place. They were super nice and prompt even when they were packed on a rainy day.

I decided to try this place out after I got a $25 coupon from Restaurant.com. And I am so glad I went here. The waitresses were super nice. There’s a ton of outdoor seating and rest assured there is parking. Not sure how the parking situation is during peak hours, but I went at 11 AM on a Friday and there was ample space.
