   The food was some of the best I’ve had in LA in awhile. The attention to detail when it came to not only taste but plating, was exceptional. The staff was very attentive and friendly and very knowledgeable on the menu. Derek was a great waiter and his suggestions were right on. This will become a regular dining place for me!

   I will give Fanny’s another chance. Cons Extremely limited menu for dinner on members night…not disclosed when making reservations Menu not descriptive enough Waiter was asked if burger had sides and was told no..salad then ordered medium…came with fries and was very rare Yellowtail was described by waiter has 5 sashimi like pieces..it didn’t arrive til friends burger entree was almost finished…had to,ask for it. Tiny order arrived overcooked and ponzu sauce was poured all over it and it was totally inedible. First time I have ever sent anything back. Asked about the Caesar dressing and was told it be spicy. No dinner for me. My friend was finished by then. The waiter made a big deal about comping the food I sent back. PROS The manager came over and was apologetic about all. He gave an additional 10 % off the bill. I actually feel it would’ve been smart to comp the remaining $36 tab or offer a gift card for the future. Was truly disappointed as I was looking fwd to it after hearing good things.

   This place is unexpectedly fantastic. Really great meal... best Caesar ever. Love that they course out the meal and do not bring everything at once. Finally, a civilized dining experience. Thanks!

   Fanny'sResponded 3 days agoHello Rick! Thank you so much for the kind words about our Caesar, we are very proud of that dish! We loved taking care of you and we look forward to seeing you again at Fanny's sometime soon :)

   Most everything was great. There is an issue going on in the kitchen to where the expediting of the dishes is off. Apps and salad came out quick. The steak came out a little delayed but the veggie came out super late. We were almost done with the steak when it arrived. There was no mention of the 20% discount for members. If you want to create an environment that people come back to and spend this kinda money, the timing and service need to be top notch. Kudos to the chef. The flavors are fantastic.

   For a restaurant servicing mainly Academy Museum patrons, one would think they’d be playing music from movies but no. Menu is very limited and pricey but service is excellent.

   I was greeted by one of the servers opening the door for me to the restaurant. From there, I checked in for our reservation and they proceeded to seat me despite my partner, who was running late. I ordered a lemonade and was able to order a Cesar salad for starters before my partner arrived. I was expecting the Cesar salad to be for one, but it was for everyone at the table. Since it was our first time there, our server was able to explain the menu to us, letting us know that the dishes in the middle of the menu were for everyone at the table. The other dishes on the side were of a smaller portion, but we could share if we wanted to as well. My partner picked out the pasta with small beef rib cage and I picked out the halibut. We split our dishes with each other, and it was really delicious! My boyfriend ended up ordering a Power of The Dog cocktail. We then paid for our food and headed upstairs to see a documentary at the Academy of Motion Pictures afterward. Will definitely come back to eat at this place really soon!

   We had a pretty terrible experience at Fanny’s. Our entrees never came, despite asking several times, then we were told it was our fault for not finishing our starter?! We were told the meal would be comped and our entrees boxed. Neither of those things happened. We finally just paid and left because we were late to our screening downstairs but we were not very happy paying for a meal we didn’t get to eat. The servers (there were multiple, none of which knew what was going on) seemed very put out with us despite our patience and us — I have to say this again — PAYING FOR FOOD WE DIDN’T GET TO EAT. It was bizarre.

    Food was very good, but some timing issues with the front of house staff. Our entries arrived at different times, like 5 minutes apart, and weren’t “hot from the kitchen”. We didn’t know who was really our server, (we had 4 different people come to our table) and some delays with drinks and dessert. One of the servers said a glass of wine was on the house for the delay, but it was still on the check. We didn’t complain, we understand things are tough right now, just needs some better management.

    Fannys is a very nice comfortable museum restaurant. Valet parking is a plus. We were able to look at some exhibits before dinner. Food is very good. We had the chicken and the pasta. Both we very good. The thing that stands out is the caliber of service which is hard to find these days. Everyone is well instructed and attentive.

    We had out first meal at Fanny’s last night prior to seeing a film at the Academy theater. It was superb. The food was fantastic, service was impeccable and the decor is chic and refined. As a Los Angeles native, I did not expect the new Academy Museum to become such a gem for the community. Having a fine dining option in a casual atmosphere available to all, is just what that area has always needed. Though I couldn’t help thinking about my 13 year old self getting my ears pierced and buying my monthly RTD bus pass in the nostalgic, but much less exciting May Co. of my 1980s youth. Fanny’s food is spectacular and we plan to have many more memorable meals there.

    Would be great to keep the restaurant open after the movie so we can all get a drink and something to each and discuss the movie. You’d make money if you stayed open. Same for the other nights of the movies. Open the restaurant t and keep it open for at least an hour after wards!

    We arrived at 5:45 for a 6 pm reservation, enough time to get good seats at a special screening at the Academy. We got seated right away (great!) and taken care of by a lovely server (Jeremy?). The place wasn't packed at all when we got there, and they knew we were seeing a movie so we knew we had plenty of time. We order a salad, a yellowtail appetizer, and halibut main... approx 5 mins after we were seated. 7 pm - despite multiple follow-ups - we had only received our salad. When the food arrived... it was evident the plates were rushed. The arugula on the yellowtail looked quickly hand-shredded (BIG pieces, small pieces) no other accouterments. The halibut tasted great, but the shredded corn had so much of the cob accidentally included in it. 3 out 5 bites had hard bits included. We scarfed our food down and ran out of there at 7:15 pm, barely in time to get decent seats. My wife did not have time to use the restroom (she didn't want to miss a moment of the special screening and panel) and made the choice to be extremely uncomfortable throughout the 2.5-hour screening. For the price, the quality of the food and the overall experience, I would not recommend this place for dinner, at least.

    First visit. Food and drink surpassed my expectations. Grilled peach burrata; snap peas; spinach linguine; the Snake Farms ribeye (we wanted to have the "cart" experience); citrus creme brulee; specialty drinks. Pricing was a bit higher than similar restaurants. Server was outstanding. Walked out and downstairs to the movie. Will return.

    My Guest’s entre’ arrived a full 20 minutes before mine. I sat there for nearly half an hour and watched them eat. A side-order of asparagus arrived 10 minutes before my entre’. When my dinner finally arrived, it was the wrong order, however, I ate it anyway (because I was very hungry). The food quality was in fact good, ( I didn’t even mind getting the wrong entre’) but the service of the meal was absolutely wrong. We were to attend the 7:30 screening and because of the very slow, poorly-timed service we had no time for coffee and desert. I have been to “Fanny’s “ in the past and things had worked out better. I will continue to support “Fanny’s” because when they are “On” it is quite good. I want very much for them to succeed. I suspect the problems they are having will be resolved with time .

    I made a reservation for outdoor dining which is not available unless you do cafeteria style (I did not go out to dinner for cafeteria style). Service & Staff was warm & friendly. A-La-Cart menu options just did not hit the spot. We ordered diner at the same time and plates came out when they were done so one person was still waiting for their meal and others were almost done . I had high hopes and was left deflated. Now I know this will not going to be the neighborhood gem i thought it would be for me. Also how do you get charged an automatic large party gratuity when your party is only 3 people?

    Food was under cooked pasta, shrimp, chicken. Service was slow needed to get attention of waiter at least five times during meal, one course was brought after table had been cleared. Some dishes are tasty, cocktails are excellent but over-priced, noisy, hard to hear across the table. Hit or miss. Not a quiet or smooth dining experience. Shame bc cocktails and ambiance are excellent

    Great food and service. The decor has a good start but feels a bit unfinished. The music was obnoxiously loud club music at 6pm which felt very disjointed from the crowd and ambiance and took a lot of the enjoyment away. Meal felt pricier than the experience we received. Overall I would come back if they fix the music.

    2nd time dining at Fanny’s- our expectations were met with the ambiance, service, food and value. The cocktails are fantastic. The ingredients in the food are fresh and adventurous. My only complaint is the DJ’s heavy dance musical choices for a 5:30 dinner with obvious daylight - I would prefer the disco to wait until after dark. I’m not too old - and the sound levels kept fluctuating and cutting out… playing louder just made it obvious there was a sound system problem, or maybe it was the DJ getting notifications while constantly on his phone. We will be back, and will ask for a quiet spot.

    Everything about this restaurant was great. This was our first time for dinner, we had been there for lunch a few times. The dinner is more fine dining. The ribeye the cut table side, gnocchi, asparagus, and the flourless chocolate cake were amazing. Compared to other restaurants of this level, it was priced well.
