    Wow! I had such an amazing experience here! First of all, our server, Zachary, was amazing. He was so positive and delightful but worked with a sense of urgency and was not pushy. He was very genuine which put mg fiancé and I at ease. Then, the food came out and it was extraordinary! The level of detail the chef puts into the dishes is amazing. Also, you can tell they use very high quality ingredients, because they don't try to cover it up with oil or salt. The flavors of all of the dishes stood out on their own. The handkerchief pasta, asado, and broccoli were what we ordered, and all 3 were home runs! Lastly, I love that this place is Gratuity-Free. It just made the whole check out process easier! Can't wait to come back!

    Mediocre food. Pasta was cold and empanadas were lacking salt.

    Came here with a few friends a few months ago. The atmosphere here is always laid back since it's a little further away from LA Live/Staples so it's a good place to get together with friends for a drink. However, the food was a bit underwhelming this time. The empanadas were just okay but the main dishes were very forgettable. Maybe we all ordered the wrong items so I may come back one day.

    Went here for dinner before a show at Staples center. Service is top notch and the interior is great, perfect smart casual environment. Food was good, although some dishes could use a little tweaking. Cauliflower was the favorite, as well as the asparagus and octopus. Least favorite was eggplant Parmesan, maybe slightly over fried. Overall the menu offers a great selection of healthy vegetable dishes (we are not vegetarians), which I always appreciate. Cocktails really good, also loved the first snacks before the meal (really really good olives!). Would recommend.

    Unique and delicious tapas for all tastes and a refreshingly light house wine if interested.

    Happy hour selection is small. Food portion seems smaller, but is very tasty. Price is a bit expensive for the food portion.

    Service was great, food was good and beautifully plated + presented. Only had a beer to drink but the drink menu was solid with diverse options. All in all, a great visit.
