Was surprised by the vibe it’s clearly a socialite club restaurant bar, which was nice as wasn’t expecting it to be so lively. The food was proper decent, the fish was amazing & the price wasn’t too bad

The vibe inside of The Nice Guy is absolutely dope. I can certainly tell why celebrities love to swing by. The food was mediocre and didn’t meet my expectations. I got the Rigatoni Bolognese and the pasta was tough as if it wasn’t boiled long enough. The truffle fries came out a little cold, but the calamari was my absolute favorite thing. The drinks were all good, but not really for $20 each. All in all it was cool to finally experience The Nice Guy and see what it was all about. 6.5/10

The hostesses were pleasant and the valet attendant was extremely helpful and friendly. Our server was lackluster. When we provided our menu selections, he simply walked away from the table. After the meal, we asked to see a dessert menu, and when he returned to the table, we informed him that we decided to skip dessert. He collected the dessert menu wordlessly and walked away. The meals were fair; nothing exceptional. The restaurant was very loud during our visit and conversation across our small table for two was challenging.

An absolutely amazing experience, with the most incredible service that no other restaurant can compare too. The food was amazing, and the setting was top notch. Kinda reminded me of the dinner scene in Goodfellas.

I’m sure it gets busy, but it was nice and quiet with just a few groups eating when we were there. The service, ambiance, food, everything was great. I’d gladly go back. The only negative was an unexplained approx $7 entertainment fee tacked onto our check when we paid the bill. I don’t know what that was for, perhaps they have live music at other times, but it was just normal ambient music the entire time we were dining.

This was such a sad experience. It was my birthday. I requested a good table - we got the table at the entrance of the restaurant- cold and loud. The Caesar salad was the worst salad I have ever had I don’t even know how they could make it so poorly. Too much dressing and tasted sour. The mushroom pizza was bland. We enjoyed the chicken Piccatta and the drinks were alright. In the midst of us trying to enjoy our experience our server let us know that they were sorry but someone rented out the whole restaurant so we couldn’t order anymore food. Upon reserving - it says each table had 2 hours. We were rushed and we’re only there for an hour to pay almost 400$. I am so disappointed and wish I never went! There are so many better places with beautiful ambiance- great service and great food! This place sucks

It was great. We were a little late so we lost out table. Sitting at the bar to have food was fun but the service there was terrible. From confusing regular drinks like old fashioned from the start bringing the wrong orders to then taking them away to clear the space thinking they weren’t ours lol. Else I love this place, great vibes and music, and the food is good. Insist to be seated though for a better service or just enjoy the chaos at the fun bar! ✨

Overall this is an awesome place. Only disappointment is I booked it specifically for my birthday, notes it in the reservation and again where they asked the occasion in the confirmation. They never mentioned it once I was there. The table next to me got asked if they were celebrating anything and the guy said no. Our waitress never asked and the staff who checked us in either didn’t care or just didn’t mention it. Was disappointed about that but otherwise it was nice.

I have been a few times before and food was good and service, this was a special day as it was my friends birthday. They did nothing special and the food wasn’t great along with the service. I will not be returning. It was $200 for us no alcohol drinks and wasn’t that great at all. Very disappointed.

Loved it! Food was delicious! Fun vibe…good music, low lights, nice decor. We went with our 16 year old while we were on Spring Break. She thought it was awesome! Warm Chocolate chip cookies & milk for dessert. Yum! Only drawback…a bit pricier than other places we went while in LA.
