I made a reservation for La Casita today and went all the way there only to find out that it was not open. The staff there was slightly apologetic but offered nothing for the inconvenience aside from the recommendation that we could try the lobby bar, which we did. The service there was incredibly slow. It took about 45 minutes to get our order taken, which was finally done by the hostess (on the 3rd time I went to ask if the server was around). Aside from bringing us our food, we were pretty much ignored the entire time - we ordered our drinks at the bar, grabbed our own menus to reorder, etc. The space is lovely, the food and drinks were delicious and all in all, I would consider coming back if not for terrible service, not to mention the extreme inconvenience and expense of traveling downtown.

No hostess in sight, a whole rave going on.. a bunch of people sitting on top of the tables partying, no workers or food in sight, I don’t even think this is a restaurant?

Well when I called to ask a question about my reservation it was extremely hard to get a hold of someone. When I got there the hostess was not friendly and acted as if it was pain for her have to find a table for my party even though we had a reservation. After 30 min of waiting for a server we finally went up to a waiter our selves to order drinks and appetizers as well as food. After an hour of not getting our drinks or food we went to the bar ourselves and was able to get drinks that way. Once we told the server about no drinks or food he gave us a round of shots and then took another 30 min to bring our cocktails and appetizers….. now going on hour 2 only one person got their food so we waited another 20 min before deciding it was just time for us to go……. It was only then 2 more plates came out! This place is a joke. Don’t waste your time or money.

A sunny day in LA for my birthday required an outdoor celebration. One of the WORST services my family and I experienced for a Saturday brunch. The food and drinks were delicious but it took over an hour to get our food and there was any communication by our server or apology. There were 2 other parties at the time who were there before us and 1 party for their food after us. Overall, cute ambiance but terrible service.

My husband and I came here after going to a show in DTLA. We LOVED it! I made a reservation beforehand, and we were seated immediately. We chose to sit upstairs, so we had a beautiful view of the pool and the landscaping around it. I couldn't have asked for more. The food was soooooooo tasty and good. We ordered a half dozen of oysters, the baked brie with fig jam (yum yum), the Heirloom Tomato & Buffalo Mozarella ( this was AMAZING, I'm not sure what the sauce was on the tomatoes, but both my husband thought it was delicious), and the Wild Mushrooms Piadina, which is like a flat pizza. It was super tasty too, maybe just a tad on the rich side, but still amazing. We shared a bottle of wine, and it was great. I can't say enough about the ambience. We sat upstairs, which has a railing of rosemary, and the pergola over the top floor has beautiful, ornate lanterns for the lighting. Overall, I can't say enough about how great our experience was. I would highly recommend going here for any reason. Date night is great, and I can see hanging out with a group of friends also being really fun. Go check it out!

Cute place, great service but a very limited menu. I wouldn’t suggest going here hungry.

Hello I normally do not write a review unless it's essential. But I am disappointed that my reservation was declined due to a private event on 12/17 at 8:30pm in which I was not notified ahead of time nor accommodated in any way. I was told by the hostess at 9:30pm the reservation would be re open so upon my return once again I was denied by the hostess that the private event was going longer and the reservations were null and void. I find this completely unprofessional for the restaurant and the application that allowed reservations and inconvenience my Birthday evening and I am sure others.
