If you like being nickel and dimed for a small amount of ok food - then this place is for you! First off, the hostess sits you down and lets you know you have a 1.5 time limit - like a test! Then, your waitress offers you bottled sparkling or still - so you say still… and then brings over a $9 bottled water that she cracks open before you have a chance to realize that tap was an option. Then you order a $11 dip but realize it doesn’t come with anything to dip in so you have to order 1 piece of a palm-sized flatbread for $8… why not just make it a $19 dip and flatbread!?! Then it’s $21 for 2 rubbery chicken skewers.. followed by a 4.7% service fee (not the usual 3). So if you like a pretty restaurant, with mediocre food, for a lot of $.. come on down!

Food is good but nothing out of the ordinary. On the other hand you pay out of the ordinary. $120/pp is insane (without alcool). Each flatbread (more a pita if you ask me) is $8 pp without taxes and tips plus they add a 4.7% (!) service charge on the whole bill. I know rent is crazy it’s abbott kinney etc but I don’t think you can justify those prices.

Last meal in LA so the 5 o’clock seating had the patio reserved for myself and it couldn’t have been better. The spicy feta and the branzino were incredible, service didn’t miss and patio is gorgeous. Great vibes from the two waiters. 9/10

Beautiful restaurant!! The inside area can be a bit loud but the outdoor patio is a fantastic place to sit and eat. Food was delicious!

I had really high expectations for this dinner, and unfortunately, I was a little bummed out about it. It is possible that this was due to eating on a holiday, but overall, we were underwhelmed. The ambiance and decor were absolutely gorgeous. Great spot for photos and the aesthetics. Starting off with marinated olives was a nice touch and very delicious. We decided to order the feta, eggplant hummus, Greek salad, roasted potatoes, and chicken kabobs. We shared, and unfortunately, everything was extremely underwhelming. Our chicken was extremely chewy and cold, and our "roasted" potatoes had no seasoning. The Greek salad was nothing special. The plate presentation looked really sad as well. I enjoyed the eggplant hummus and my glass of White Wine. Overall, it was not what I was expecting. It's possible I came on an off night with slow service as well, but I had higher hopes for this super cute spot.

10000000000000000000/10. This place took me back to Greece. I cannot describe the feeling. It just felt so nostalgic. The interior and the exterior just immaculate. It felt so cozy. They had live music!!! So nice! The food was authentic just like the food we had in Athens, Santorini, and Mykonos. Service was really good too. I cannot wait to go back here with my friends and family. Book your reservations in advance on opentable. (Pro tip- set an alert if there is a cancellation you'll get notified on open table) Parking- we did valet. Street parking is limited.
AlisaResponded on June 5, 2025
Dear Amasia, Wow — thank you for this incredible review! We're so touched that your visit brought back memories of Greece. That feeling of nostalgia and warmth is exactly what we hope to create, and we're thrilled you felt it. From the live music to the food and cozy atmosphere — we’re so happy everything resonated with you. Can’t wait to welcome you, your friends, and family back soon!
