This place is a WHOLE VIBE! Beautiful and sheik. The food is really tasty ESPECIALLY the guacamole! It's definitely more of a snack type menu but well worth it if you have a group of friends for a night out or even a first date!

Absolutely stunning and fun. Mixologists were on point and adorable. In my opinion, best sunset view in DTLA…sorry Perch you are 2nd in my book now. Fun ambiance day or night. Make sure to make reservations; yes you do end up spending more than what reservations require and you have somewhere to sit, chat and meet fabulous people.
