    Mediterranean cuisine, overpriced … and you can find much better food at the millions of casual spots around LA that serve similar food. Ambience is nice though.

    Wonderful ambiance as soon as you walk through the door into the inviting patio you can feel a lively atmosphere and happy diners all around. The same positive energy follows all around the different rooms as you continue walking in. Fun and eclectic decor, great lighting and the food matches the atmosphere. Loved the burrata starter, and the black cod and the salmon entrees. Great drinks and dessert as well. So glad we tried this well established restaurant!!
