OpenTable Diner - 09/18/2018

Food and drinks were all outstanding. We ordered tacos Al pastor, enchiladas de mole, and a few sides and everything was excellent. Service was friendly and attentive and the food came very quickly. The restaurant is located in a strip mall area and I would recommend valet parking ($4) to avoid walking around at night in this area. More

My family and I have been going to Baco since it opened. The food is always fresh/seasonal and interesting. My daughter and I went on this occasion for the fried chicken special. It’s enough for (3) people. The wait staff is always pleasant and professional. Thank you Travis for the service. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our meal More

OpenTable Diner - 09/18/2018

All I have to say is WOW- I haven’t had a dining experience in LA that was that perfect in awhile. Everything was amazing. The staff were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, the place was adorable, and the cocktails were exquisite. The food came out with perfect timing between drinks and appetizers, and appetizers and entreé. AND- here’s the real kicker- everything was perfect temp. You never think about how great it is to not having boiling hot appetizers until it happens to you! Great to dig right in, but also tasted like it was freshly cooked. I have not one bad thing to say about the experience, I hope everything stays as it is because I will definitely be coming back. (I had a reservation slightly on the early side -6p - so I suggest you aim there for highest likelihood of the aforementioned happening to you ) More

OpenTable Diner - 09/10/2018

Amazing location and truly a special experience. Very relaxing and comfortable. More

OpenTable Diner - 09/19/2018

Just had an outstanding meal at P.Y.T. -- if you're a vegetarian (or just want to eat like one for a change) you need to try this place. From the bread to the pastas, everything tasted fresh, inventive and was seasoned perfectly. My only complaint is that the margarita I ordered (which was excellent) was half the size of a normal drink (very surprising given the portions for everything else were perfect). Aside from that one flaw, would highly recommend P.Y.T. More

OpenTable Diner - 09/11/2018

Delicious and romantic, but honestly a little salty. Some menu items change but entrees seem to stay the same. Obviously a tad expensive but great for special occasions More

OpenTable Diner - 09/18/2018

Our waitress, Norma, was exceptional! She was kind, warm, personable, helpful, and courteous!!! Norma was like a Mom who takes very good care of her kids! She was the best waitress at LA Prime! I will be asking for Norma every time I have dinner at the restaurant. She recommended items and her knowledge of wine was excellent. I really enjoyed my experience tonight! Norma made the experience both enjoyable and fun. More

OpenTable Diner - 09/06/2018

I don't where to begin. I was celebrating my dates birthday by taking her to this magnificent gem of an experiential delicacy. I'd only experienced Q during a lunch following mediation with the Quinn, Emmanuel guys. This time I needed to have the full experience. I came prepared with an exquisite bottle of champagne, which they allow for a modest $25 corkage fee. We also had a nice, dry sake to start from their excellent selection. Upon entering, I was actually pleasantly surprised to see Chef Hiro, as on the previous occasion he was not present. My date was unsure of exactly what to expect. The ambience was beautifully curated, everything fit together perfectly, the music, the company, the drink, and last but never ever least, the food. All of the fish was amazing, the sardine was my personal favorite, while my date was enamored by the toro. Everything was exceptional, the fish was perfectly cured or covered in excellent, but subtle sauces. There were point during this experience in which I was transported, I felt like I was in Mid district Tokyo. It was only until after we left, and went outside into the Urban DTLA jungle that I finally came back to earth. I genuinely don't think this experience could have been any better. I forgot to mention that we were the only two people in the entire restaurant, therefore we had all of Chef Hiro attention. I cannot wait to come back. More

OpenTable Diner - 09/14/2018

The food was good and the service was great! We'll definitely be going back. More

OpenTable Diner - 02/20/2018

The food was amazing, but the service was a little disorganized. Brought us things we didn’t order, which I am sure were meant for others and then they were on the bill (then removed). It was hard to get the wait staff as well. I know the restaurant just opened and I am forgiving. I will be back. I suggest other drinks other than the mixed in the menu. Martinis and the sort. More

OpenTable Diner - 09/15/2018

We like the service the waitress was exceptional with the attention to us, the food was delicious. It's a great place to go. More

OpenTable Diner - 09/18/2018

Hot crispy Spring rolls full of sautéed mushrooms were the start of such a delicious dinner. In an intimate dining room with carefully chosen art on the walls the service was attentive and well-timed. Arugula salad was fresh and tossed with a savory dressing. We will go back whenever we can for the roasted whole branzino which is lightly crunchy on the skin side and soft and moist inside with a salty spicy sauce on the side. There is nothing that needs improvement here. More

OpenTable Diner - 09/18/2018

We were there for the weekend brunch buffet. It costs $55 and includes a decent selection of food (chilled crab legs!) and unlimited mimosas, fruit juices, and coffee. We had a good time. Our servers were extraordinarily attentive--clearing plates promptly, replenishing our mimosa glasses frequently, etc. Our only complaint was that the food items are not well labeled. Labels don't list ingredients. Listing the ingredients would be considerate, especially useful for those of us who have allergies and/or dietary restrictions. More

OpenTable Diner - 09/16/2018

Great ambience. The salmon and barramundi were delicious. Great bread. Grace was our server and she was terrific. Jorge is the manager and he does an outstanding job. They really went out of their way to make it a wonderful evening and dinner for us. More

OpenTable Diner - 09/14/2018

First time eating at Fundamental, but definitely not my last. The 7th and Grand area is packed with good restaurant options so I hadn't made it to here before, but it came up on Open Table and I was looking for a new place to have a business lunch and it turned out to be a great choice. We said inside although there is also outdoor seating on the patio. The menu upon first glance is pretty simple, breakfast items (including a breakfast burrito served all day, one of their signatures i'm told), sandwiches, and salads, plus some optional pre-made sides from their deli takeout case. I'm currently on a 12-week meat and veggies program, so I had a kale caesar with grilled chicken and the tomato bisque, my lunch mate had the avocado toast, and we shared a side of the Brussel sprouts. Everything tasted delicious, very fresh and flavorful. I am definitely planning to come back once I incorporate carbs back into my diet, because every sandwich I saw come out of the kitchen looked better than the last, and they all looked amazing. If they taste even half as good as they looked it will be worth the return trip to try them out. I had lunch a few days prior at Bottega Louie a few doors down, which is great food but way too noisy to have an actual conversation in. Fundamental had the perfect laidback, cozy atmosphere to have a relaxing and enjoyable business lunch. More

OpenTable Diner - 08/31/2018

Great food and service in a casual environment. The cod was very tasty. I will return! More

OpenTable Diner - 09/11/2018

OpenTable Diner - 09/16/2018

Had a birthday dinner with my wife and mother. The maitre d’ was welcoming and accommodating. The personalized birthday menu was a nice touch, as was the complementary birthday cake (cheesecake, my fave!) and photo. Our server (I’m horrible with names, sorry) was good, but could’ve been a little more attentive. My cocktail order wasn’t served exactly as I wanted, but that wasn’t a deal breaker. The food was on par with what you’d expect from a top tier steakhouse. The table had no complaints about anything ordered. I had the waygu rib eye cap steak done medium rare, and it was like butter! We’ll definitely consider Morton’s for a return trip when dining in DTLA! P.S. - They even gave us a discount for our special event!Thank you Morton’s! More

OpenTable Diner - 09/19/2018

The service was outstanding and the food was great. Perfect portions for a lunch meal. We were able to hold a conversation without raising our voices. More

OpenTable Diner - 08/20/2018

It was a group of 6 and it was all our first time. We all enjoyed the food, some obviously more than the others. Purchased about every entre so we could all try a little bit of everything on the menu. The sea bass, herb lamb, chicken, & ribs were great! We all definitely loved the shrimp and polenta! I would come back. More

OpenTable Diner - 09/14/2018

The Summer plate with asparagus, fruit, two kinds of hummus, toasted pita, and all manner of nuts and jams was one of the most delicious (and beautifully-presented) shared appetizers I've ever had. Wonderful place! More

OpenTable Diner - 09/18/2018

I love CPK and always have an excellent meal there, but the Open Table reservation did not work. I placed the reservation and got a confirmation, but upon arrival I was told they had no reservation/priority seating for me. They apparently got no notification from Open Table. We were lucky to get a seat as it was very crowded. So, I recommend CPK, but was not happy with the reservation service through Open Table. More

OpenTable Diner - 09/13/2018

Love coming here for brunch. Has dinner this last time, and it was super tasty. We wanted to eat everything. We just shared a few things and didn't have mains this time. Really loved the chips, the guac, great cocktails, deviled eggs are lovely, and the cocktails were fun. Had their "Tex" leches cake and would eat it again every time. Service was friendly and good; very good food but casual atmosphere. More

OpenTable Diner - 09/08/2018

The restaurant was very empty considering it was lunch time 1PM. We were seated right away. The waiter didn't check on us after we received our food and we had to flag someone else to get ketchup for our fries. Also, after we finished eating, we couldn't find our waiter and we were in a hurry to get back to work. More

OpenTable Diner - 09/12/2018

We came here about a year ago. Upon my return in August, 2018, I was pleasantly surprised how the buffet had returned to being wonderful again! There was a much better selection with more to choose from. New choices were added to the buffet. Excellent food, exceptional service, quiet and wonderful ambience. Smeraldi's gives its patrons the "special treatment." Perfect for special occasions and for regular lunches/dinners. With the new management and chef, the food is SO much better than a year ago! It is also rare to find that old-fashioned hospitable service that Smeraldi's waiters are known for. I will definitely return. More

Went here for my wife's birthday! Been wanting to try this place since the renovation. They did a tremendous job! Our food was delicious.

We were surprised that there was a weekend happy hour. It made us stay about an hour longer than we had planned. The ambiance was amazing!

Thank you open table for the recommendation. More
