   The restaurant was not open. Security at the door suggested that we had made a mistake and were in the wrong place or that we had the day wrong. but then I showed him our confirmed reservation (for the correct day and time), and the google open hours for the restaurant. Our reservation was not honored. disappointing.

   Excellent experience. To start, we received a warm and friendly welcome from the manager. My drink (“Hennessy Summer”) and fries were addictive. The steak tacos were superb. If we’re ever back in LA, we’ll definitely pay them a return visit.

   I stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try and I am very happy that I did. The front entrance is a bit strange almost like a speak easy and then the doors opens to a beautiful restaurant with abstract art that energizes the room. Wednesday Jazz Night starts at 9 and is worth staying for. Now the food and drinks, I highly suggest the Ceviche Frito and the Mushroom Taco. The Ceviche has a sauce that keeps my mouth watering. Well balanced citrus with the fish keeps me wanting more. And the Happy Hour... come on who else offers Happy Hour until 8 and the drinks were delicious. Mad props to Jessica the Assistant Manager. She was on point, kept the place fun and offered suggestions when needed. The service overall was fantastic. I will definitely Italy revisit and bring friends.

   Made reservations a week in advance at 9:00 for dinner, upon arrival we were told that we could only stay until 9:30 because they sell the tables for bottle service (starting at $600). I don’t understand how a party of 4 can arrive, order and have dinner all in 30 minutes. We had to leave and find a reservation somewhere else. Not how I was planning on spending my birthday dinner.

   Overall good time, just be aware that the servings are not that large depending on how much you are looking to eat.

   The bar staff were amazing, they really looked after us and kept popping over to check on us. I wasn’t too keen on the food if I’m completely honest but I will definitely visit again!

   Went here before the Madonna concert. It’s about a one block walk which is perfect. Staff, bartenders, and manager are fantastic. Super friendly and catered to our every need.

   Beautiful spot. Food was hit or miss. Drinks were great. Took over 20 minutes to get greeted by our original service. In the end some really sweet girl and really nice busser were taking care of us instead wish we had them from the beginning.

    I love this place. It's in a funky location, but really has a beautiful interior. The food is consistently good. Alcohol is a bit pricey, but not anymoreso than any other hip joint. The service is impeccable. The only downside is parking in this area is challenging (they do offer valet), the noise level is a bit high (and this was before the live music started), and the bathrooms could really use an upgrade. But I'd go again in a heartbeat, especially if I was going to The Wiltern for a show. Added service points for finding my black scarf, and putting it safely away until I could come and retrieve it!!
