Such a great experience. We took one of our friend couple here and they loved it. The food that we got and the drinks are amazing. Our Server Francesca was very attentive and very helpful with our orders. The music was great and we were able to dance to most of them. I definitely recommend this place.

The food and drinks were great. Service is what you’d expect. Parking situation in Downtown LA is not fun at all. It’s worth trying once.
