    Monkitail was so amazing, we went back the following night too. This was the best dinner we had in Hollywood, as well as anywhere else lately.

    Tasting menu is a must, food is delicious. Service was a little off, waited over 20 minutes for our last 2 courses. Despite the service issue, I would come back because the food was that good. Definitely recommend!
