   This place is beautiful no doubt, but the meals are not up to par I expected a bit more variation. The bread and tuna carpaccio was delicious, pasta was average and steak was delicious. Overall I would give it a 3/5

   Great new option if you're looking for Italian DTLA. The market lettuces were pretty out of this world (the dressing and crunch was awesome). Must try the Sweet Corn Agnolotti and the Oxtail Ragu - those were table favorites.

   Might just be a bad timing but... they were out on FOUR cocktails on the menu which are mostly the specialty cocktails. That was truly disappointing. Also, I went for my birthday and the waitress asked multiple times that it is your birthday right? She also asked again right after we ordered desserts almost as to insinuate that something small would be on the house but nope. There were nothing complementary offered being it your birthday or not. Which was not a big deal but the same waitress asking it multiple times truly was awkward and a let down. Lastly, food is not bad but for the price you can definitely have a better experience elsewhere.

   Per L’OraResponded on January 24, 2023Dear BigDollarJ, Thank you for taking the time to share our recent experience. Regardless of the timing I was sorry to read that a number of items were not available. I'll be sure to follow up with your server to better understand the missed opportunity to celebrate your birthday. As we head into the New Year we have some exciting plans for the menu, I hope to see you return soon. Cheers, Adam Sydenham Managing Director

   Our best dining experience in a very long time. We came for a dinner on NYE. Executive Chef Courtney VanDyke was exceptional and came out to check on the food and introduced herself. We will definitely be back again. Great way to end the year!

    The cocktails were delicious but the service was very slow, although apologetic. The Spanish makarel toast was offputtingly fishy and Luke warm when we received it. I didn’t finish it. We had to wait for plates and silverware after our courses arrived while our food got cold and we looked at it unable to serve ourselves. Usually the wait staff will replace your shared plate and silverware very soon after clearing the last course. Our second course was delivered by the executive chef but was not what we ordered and we had to wait for them to prepare our pasta correctly. I wanted to time our glass of wine with our pasta, so asked to taste a Pinot noir that was an off the menu offering. We patiently awaited our wine but it was sadly not poured in time to enjoy our pasta before it was cold. We even saved the last bites to taste with our wine but it took so long that the pasta was cold by the time we received our glasses of wine. The veal milenese was very dry, we didn’t eat much of it. The waitress suggested the polenta frite to accompany the veal- honestly, it was fried on fried and both were too dry. The veal definitely needed to be accompanied by something with more moisture. We were very excited to eat here as the setting is stunning but we’re very disappointed by the end of our meal. We even saw other tables leave in frustration. When the server asked how our meal was, I let her know the veal was very dry and she said she would comp our wine but when we received the bill, the total didn’t reflect that. If the food were incredible, it would be easy to forgive the other issues but out of the 5 courses we ordered, we truly only enjoyed 2 of them. For the pricing, this is truly unacceptable and disappointing, when fine dining, one expects exceptional service at the least. We should have just gone to Bestia for an exceptional experience but wanted to try something new. Never again

    Though we all understand that restaurants are short-staffed these days, I was disappointed with the service at Per L'Ora on Christmas for dinner. After being seated, we had to flag down someone after 10 minutes of waiting. There was a 15 minute delay between the end of our starter and the entree being served. When the entree arrived we did not have forks or knives (which had been removed after the first course) and then had to wait another 5 minutes for someone to bring us utensils to eat with. Net, there was more time spent waiting for basic service than enjoying the meal. The food was pretty good but not great. They have the audacity to present the table with a "complimentary amuse bouche" which was a single, dry, 5" breadstick (for 2 people. I assume they do this to avoid the cost of providing bread at the table.

    I wanted to really love but I was really underwhelmed by the flavors our dishes. The combination of ingredients were just odd tasting. The interior design was okay but not fabulous. With so many other great choices downtown like The Proper, I wouldn't recommend it.

    The challenge of writing a superlative review is the insecurity one feels from inadequacy of words to describe perfection. Now that I got your attention, this whole experience was freaking awesome! Yes I said awesome, yes its an overused yelp word… I don’t care! I’m coming back here for my birthday because the food was that good!

    Wow! What an incredible experience! Dinner here was fabulous in every way. From Eddie opening the door for us and giving us a great menu recommendation to our knowledgeable server and attentive staff, the service could not have been better in any way. In fact, the service we received was superior than Michelin rated restaurants we’ve visited. The food was creative, balanced, full of flavor and memorable. Two of us shared four dishes and were delighted with every bite. Chef Courtney even came to our table to check on us, which further solidified our feeling of being completely valued and cared for. The ambiance is comfortably elegant, with warm soft lighting. Parking is $10 only a few steps away. We will be returning soon and just might stay the night in the boutique hotel here.

    Although I loved and miss the Jacques Garcia design of the old Nomad restaurant, the team has done a superb job of re-styling the restaurant space for Per l'Ora, with a fresh white-themed design that fits perfectly with the modern cuisine. Our server (Ashley, I think?) was delightful and explained the restaurant, the building (the original Bank of America), and the menu perfectly. Every dish we ordered (all seafood, although the meat dishes were tempting) looked fantastic and tasted even better. I don't understand why the place wasn't packed, but it made for a lovely, quiet, sophisticated evening with an old friend. Pretty much perfection! I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu and soak up the urbane vibe once again.

    there was one server, Ashley, a trainee, Kaitlin and a bus boy serving the entire dining room. No surprise the service was slow. We had the crab cake, hamachi, corn agnolotti and cod. The agnolotti was our favorite dish followed by the cod. the cod was fresh and cooked perfectly. Not certain that the black sauce complimented the texture of the cod

    Fantastic ambience at this art-deco historic hotel. Lovely rooftop bar, heated pool and seating area. Bathrooms are downstairs in a converted bank vault which is pretty cool - like being in a Bonnie&Clyde film. Staff is helpful and good. The food was almost top-notch and fairly inventive even if all the flavor combos didn’t quite hit. Overall, quite an enjoyable evening

    Both the service and the food were amazing. My (now!) husband and had our wedding night dinner at Per L'Ora and the chef and staff went out of their way to ensure our night was magical and that we were well-taken care of. Between 6 of us at dinner: for sides and starters, we had several fettuntas (spicy tuna and avocado), yellow tail hamachi, figs, market salad and meatballs, which were Mediterranean style with both beef and lamb--all excellent. For dinner dishes, we had veal, black cod, Bucatini, Gnudi En Brodo and Tagliatelle. The smashed potato side was SO good! Cocktails were fantastic and the sommelier was very personal and had excellent suggestions for wine options. The new interior design of the dining room is stunning--classy and elegant. It's brighter (in a good way) compared to The Nomad. Per L'Ora is a little pricey, but YOU'RE WORTH IT! Highly, highly recommend!
