The food was delicious, the restaurant is beautiful and the server was terrific. The restaurant was a bit cold, and as it filled up it got disproportionately noisy (lots of hard surfaces).

We sat at the mozzarella bar and had the most amazing meal. Our waiter was brilliant at her job! She's been there 10 years and is a total pro. She helped us decide on our mix of things to order and every dish was incredible. Also, our cocktails were so delicious. The smoothest martini I've ever had. My husband hand an old fashioned and said the same thing. It was a very special dining experience.

This is our favorite location by far. We come here at least once a month and more recently started coming pretty frequently for brunch. We have other locations that are much closer to us but the food and service at the Silverlake location is unmatched so we happily make the extra drive. No matter how big or small our party is they have been more than accommodating to our needs. We’ve celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, hallmark holidays and even had our club gatherings here. Any time we have friends visiting from out of state or country we bring them here too. The food is always exceptional & affordable by LA standards. You will definitely get the most bang for your buck here and the best part is not only will you have full from the amazing food but your friends will be impressed and it sets the bar high! Highly recommend the bottomless drinks for both brunch and dinner.

We were very pleased with the delicious meal we made from several small plates/appetizers, which were all perfectly prepared and nicely presented. Among the stars were the meatballs, macaroni and cheese and Brussels sprouts. But do not leave without trying the Cracked Potatoes, little chunks that are pillowy soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, with something that added an addictive umami kick. We also found cocktails and wine that perfectly complemented our diverse assortment of dishes.
