Was looking forward to dinner here as I had heard it was a must have when in LA. Upon arrival the hostess ignored us and socialized with a large group that had come in before us. Our server was unhelpful, lacked social skills and was absent most of the night. We were unsure if we were seated in the middle of holiday party as the amount of table hoping and crude behaviour between guests/ servers was appalling. The food was basic, you can get better food from any local diner. We had to ask several times for the bill, when finally given the bill it was everything but thrown at us. Extremely disappointed.

My family took my out for my bday. The waitress wasn’t attentive and didn’t check up to see how things were. We had to keep asking for things. The gf pizzas were not great but no one to tell since she didn’t bother. Very disappointed to come here on my bday.

We arrived early and sat at the bar and had some cocktails before our dinner. After that, we were seated at the worst table in the place. Ordered two more drinks and asked to be moved since we were literally seated by the kitchen and bathrooms. We were a party of two and you seated us at a four top when there were plenty of two tops open. Was told by our wonderful server that the host stated there was nothing he could do. BS. I counted at least 6 empty empty tables. Why couldn’t we move to one of those tables? Is it because someone else would have complained? Serious question for the host. What about us made you think we would put up with such a bad table? Was it our looks? Was it because we are middle aged? Was it because we reserved through opentable? Would really like to know. You knew through the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday. Why would you try to spoil our occasion? We had to scramble to find a place for my birthday dinner, cause I won’t reward businesses with several hundred dollars when it is obvious to me they don’t give a ah** about me. If you want to be treated like you don’t matter, by all means waste you money here. Otherwise, there are plenty of other restaurants that will treat you like a valued guest.

We were completely surprised with how flavorless our meal was. We had previously visited for brunch, which was ok, and wanted to experience the dinner menu. Big mistake. However, the basket of bread and cookies were the highlight of the entire meal. Service was mediocre. It's obvious you have to be someone of importance to receive attentive service. I gave a tip nonetheless, however, I certainly will not return nor recommend to others
