This has been one of my favorites for years, but sadly its just not the same outside. The tables are well spaced, but they are on Pico, with lots of noise. Unfortunately the restaurant closes for good tonight. Hopefully, one day, they'll come back somewhere. The food and value was always excellent.

We are so happy they finally opened for outdoor dining during the Covid pandemic. It’s a little noisy along Pico but they do a good job with what they have to work with. As always, their food and drinks were great. We have never had a bad meal here and their service is top notch. Don’t skip dessert, always amazing... especially the pumpkin bread pudding!

We love this restaurant. It is our neighborhood favorite. We go off our diets to eat this food. They served us our dinner safely outdoors - lamb French dip sandwich, Hobb’s Pepperoni flat bread pizza, gorgeously light tempura Battered fried green beans and chicken liver mousse.The food is flavorful, with each bite of the generous portion a delight. It is a pity when your plate is done, however you can always order more. We’ve done that. We whisper “maybe we’ll get another order of those green beans. It’s a vegetable!” The server is delighted by your smiling face and empty plate.

Greet service and food. The only thing I didn’t like is that their outdoor seating is literally on the sidewalk in Pico Blvd. Luckily, there is little no traffic these days so it wasn’t a problem.

The food is definitely above average quality and good price point. We had large chicken, salmon, and traditional hamburgers -- we all felt satisfied at the end of the meal. Our server was friendly and quick to bring out our food, refill waters, etc. The main negative is that the ambiance is lackluster since you are sitting directly on the sidewalk on a not so pretty stretch of Pico. 3 hours of free parking is nice too. Basically, a good spot for casual lunch or dinner but don't expect the best ambiance.
