Stopped in for dinner before we caught “Into the Woods” next door, and man— we couldn’t have picked a better spot.

Very packed here for a Thursday night! Must be doing something right! Tried their eggplant appetizer and the salmon. The salmon was cooked to perfection. Perfectly crisp on the outside and very moist and tender on the inside. Old-fashioned cocktail was very expensive but delicious! Finished off with tiramusu and headed to the Ahmanson theatre. Great stuff!

Great service with experienced waiters and a fantastic selection of wine. Food was good but not sure that it was worth the price as the portion sizes were pretty small. Pasta is made in-house. Texture was great.

This restaurant in the prime location of downtown LA is truly impressive. Its spacious interior boasts a large seating capacity, and the outdoor seating option adds an extra touch of charm. However, due to its size, the restaurant appears to be understaffed when it comes to attending to tables. It often takes a considerable amount of time for the staff to take orders and provide the checks. On the positive side, the restaurant offers convenient valet services for a fee of $18, allowing patrons to easily park their vehicles for up to three hours. It’s worth noting that the food prices here are slightly higher compared to similar establishments I have visited in the past. Despite this, it’s still worth giving the restaurant a try, at least once, given its appealing location and ambiance.

Service was very good. He could have filled our drinks more often or served the drinks in a larger glass. The pizza was very tasty but it was supposed to be a margarita pizza not a cheese pizza with a basil leaf on top. The Wagu hamburger was probably the best burger I have ever eaten. I would definitely get that again. All in all it was a very nice meal. The restaurant itself is very pretty. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We’ll be back!

Tips: perfect place for happy hour after the BROAD museum. Plenty of seating in and out. Friendly staff and bartender. Variety food choices, comfortable bar seating, ordered Nosejob IPA LA, didn’t disappoint.
