Best Gluten Free Restaurants in Atwater Village

We got off to a very rough start! We texted the restaurant to inform them , due to CRAZY LA traffic, we were going to be approximately 20 minutes late for our reservation. The response was very off putting. We were told that the 10 minute grace period would be strictly enforced and we would be marked as a no show and put on a waiting list. We arrived in fact 16 minutes late for our 5 o clock reservation. The hostess remained firm in adhering to the policy and was unhelpful and negative. I prevailed upon her to see what she could do. Hesitating to be helpful was unacceptable and there’s a serious issue with training to make guests feel welcome. A second hostess did in fact say that she could make it work, acting as if a big gift was being given. Fortunately the food was so spectacular it made up for a truly inhospitable start. Another issue is the staffing for the bar. We ordered 3 cocktails. After quite a long wait only 2 showed up. Another ten minutes at least went by for us to be informed that there was an issue with one if the ingredients in the third cocktail. The server did agree to comp the drink. The hostess issue and bar service prevent me from giving an overall good review despite the fabulous food and beautiful setting and view.

Love it! It is my birthday today and I like to celebrate it in 71 above! They are so nice and food is delicious.

Beautiful ambiance with stellar service. Over all food was good. Really enjoyed the seabass and the tropical cream puff dessert. But for these price points, the food should be more memorable. Also a very cool cocktail menu with stiff drinks.

Music was a little but loud but besides that it was a perfect experience and I highly recommend to anyone to go here for the food and ambiance.

Great omakase experience with an interesting variety of fresh fish, crab, and uni. I would recommend it to anyone for a special occasion.
