   Ospero was such a disappointment. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a restaurant in LA which such a horrible design. The most awkward layout ever. I felt like I’m eating on a train. Narrow claustrophobic space. I couldn’t believe this building was just built! Maybe the restaurant was an afterthought. Idk. But just really ugly and I felt terribly overdressed. Literally no one was dressed up there. Such a great location, decent food but ambience the worst.

   I really enjoy Wolfgang Puck restaurants but this one was not at all good. The menu was very limited and the service was awful, the food was not at all properly cooked and I could go on but I won’t. I won’t be returning that’s for sure.

   Terrible service. From the start of the meal through the end. There weren’t even a lot of people eating there for lunch. The server forgot to give us or credit card and we had to drive all the way back from the other end of the city to grab our card.

   My husband & I enjoyed the Caesar Salad & Flatbread we shared for dinner. Restaurant was comfortable & service was very good. Nice ambiance. We recommend this restaurant for pre-comedy-show dining as it is located right across the street from The Comedy Store in Hollywood.

    The wait staff and kitchen were very accommodating to our one vegetarian diner who was with us. They were very good about moving us indoors when it got too cold outside and the heaters were not enough. I truly enjoyed my pizza and I believe the other guests enjoyed their meal as well. However, we had an very unfortunate incident that I will not put here that was in my opinion, not addressed properly. That said, I would likely still recommend this place. It’s right around the corner from us - 5 min. Walking distance. Not certain if I would go back myself however.

    Every main part of each meal had a terrible flavor. The Huevos Rancheros had an awful red sauce underneath that gave it a burnt flavor. I have huevos Rancheros all the time at several restaurants and this was the worst I have ever tasted. The other two people that had breakfast with me disliked their main breakfast but liked the sides

    The location and atmosphere is really nice. The service, very slow, especially since the restaurant was not busy. The food was generally good, except for the lobster pasta. The first dish came out cold and had very little lobster. The dish was sent back The new dish had no flavor and again very little lobster. This was very disappointing. The pizza was very good though. The service was ok because the staff didn't know how to set or clear the table. I think a place like this should train their staff better. Lastly, the bill from the bar was crazy expensive. $25.00 for a tiny martini is no ok. The bill came out to over $400.00 and we didn't even order that much food. A big portion was the bar bill. Very disappointing.

    Have been to Ospero a number of times when they first opened, even went to couple of events… experience was pleasant. However, when we were there this Saturday night at 7pm, restaurant was mostly empty and I understood why after. No sight of cocktails or food after ordering for 40 minutes. We asked for bread because my four year old was starving and not a sign. I had to get up to go to the bar to ask about the cocktails and food. 5 minutes later they gave us a plate of fries (side that we ordered)… after we finished the fries, appetizers/main course showed up and the Smoked Salmon pizza was stone cold. I could hear people at the next table following up about their beer and saw another patron had to get up from their table with their bill so someone would take care of it. The view is still beautiful though, what a shame.

    We went for lunch on Father’s Day and the food was delicious. Unfortunately the atmosphere is more like a really nice hotel coffee shop not a special occasion place. The first negative was unfortunately the hostess (w/ very long blond hair) who did her best to appear anything but welcoming. Zero smile. Even my son said “geez, she hates her job.” It was so loud inside because the DJ had the music up full blast. People were all eating outside which perhaps was due to the noise level at 11:45 am on a Sunday. The food was spectacular and our servers were lovely. After oysters and the smoked salmon pizza, my daughter and I had the omelet with asparagus and mushrooms and my husband and son had the steak and eggs. All very yummy. I would absolutely eat again at this place but probably only if I was staying at the hotel it’s in. Sitting on Sunset Blvd watching homeless folks walk by was kind of a bummer but they wouldn’t seat us on the interior balcony (which was still partially empty when we left) because the hostess said she had other parties coming for that area. We all recognized how that first unpleasant encounter with a restaurant’s hostess can really set the mood. We felt unwelcome and relegated to a couple of tiny drinks tables pushed together at the edge of a very busy boulevard. Clearly with two kids in tow it was fairly obvious we were there for Father’s Day. It would have been an entirely different experience if our surly hostess had just put a warm smile on her face and said ANYTHING of a friendly nature.

    Ospero is excellent. So far every time we go we have a great experience. The quality of the pastries is outstanding, the Basque Chess-cake, the carrot cake, the croissants, all incredible, definitely fine pastries. We enjoyed very much sitting in the terrace enjoying their delicious coffee. Elias was very attentive and professional at all moments, he definitely cares. Great experience, highly recommended.

    Wasn’t happy about the fact that I had previously requested a table by a heater and that wasn’t accommodated. Later, when we asked for a heater we were told the one available didn’t have propane. Then we were told once the table behind us left, they would bring over the heater they were using. That never happened, even though the table they were talking about left well before we did. So I wasn’t happy about being ignored when it came to the heater. Especially on a cold windy day.

    Cute and small place. Food okay. A little pricey in my opinion. It wasn't busy when we were there a Friday night, very low key. We parked at the Pendry Valet Parking. As we went for drinks next door after dinner, when we got back, the valet was $52 dollars. We had no clue of pricing, no one took our car when we got there... Thank you to the gent at the Valet who assist us and we ended up paying $15. Be careful where you park if you go there!

    The space is beautifully architected & designed, the service is great as well, while the food is nicely presented, I prefer a chilled Cesar Salad should & the dressing was lacking in garlic & zest. the Tuna Tartare appetizer was quite diminutive & also needed seasoning.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Ospero. We went early so it was not crowded. The food was of course delicious - Caesar salads, salmon cooked perfectly and Branzino in a delicious sauce - from a person who doesn’t like sauces. The portions were a good size. (The Caesar salads were absolutely huge.) The cocktails were nice and strong. Cute little room and attentive service. We will definitely be back and not just for dinner!

    It was fine. A lot of wines on the wine list are available in local retail stores (ie Trader Joes) so the astronomical markup was even more obvious than it might be otherwise. The food was also pretty pricey. Everything tasted fine but there are better restaurants in the area at that price point.

    The service was great. The staff was friendly and on top of things. The food with the exception of the wood fired pizza wasn’t very good. The short rib,which should have been fork tender,wasn’t even cuttable with a knife. The desserts however were delicious. It was a fun time all the same but I wasn’t very impressed by the food. Especially for the price.

    This was such a let down! We went for Valentine’s Day and wanted it to be special. It was anything but that. Service was so poor. We could never find our waitress. We ordered apps and a salad to start. The placed our entree orders to be coursed out. Everything came at once and would not even fit on our small table. We asked to hold the entrees and keep warm. When we finally asked for them back, they were ice cold. Then when we asked for dessert they were out of everything. We didn’t get drinks and the bill was $150. Such a waist of money. I wish we would have went somewhere more special. Just don’t go here. It’s horrible
