    Worn and dirty atmosphere, god awful blaring very loud rap, no appetizers on the menu. Feels like a child owns/manages this place. Great location, friendly service but the overly loud rap made the whole experience and meal torturous. Avoid.

    Great service! Great ambiance ! Good food ! The only caveat is the parking ! They have a parking and yet they say it’s only valet ! We were told we can park anywhere and then on our way out they were charging us 10 bucks cuz it’s a valet ! Out of nowhere the guy came to us that we have to pay !!

    Amazing overall dining experience. If you go late though around 9, the nightclub crowd starts to come in. We are a younger couple so it didn't bother us at all.

    To say that it was horrible is an understatement: terrible mess on the menu, the burrata is a shame and although the waiter was friendly, it shows that he was unaware of the menu. We ordered lobster and they had to improvise a dish with a poorly prepared pasta. I look forward to going back to California to NEVER go back to this restaurant. Total disaster.

    The restaurant was CLOSED I made reservations for a brunch to celebrate my husband’s birthday over a month in advance. I received multiple confirmations, but arrived to find the restaurant closed. Open Door needs to deal with this situation.
