    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.

    Discovered this place a couple of weeks ago and have been there twice now, before a play at Pantages. Their pizza is great and we enjoyed their mixed drinks also. Great service and nice ambiance. It does get very crowded at around 6pm, but we get there at around 5:30, so we get seated immediately, especially with reservations. We will be back.

    The highlights were the cocktails, and I loved that they had an NA cocktail option for our group. The outdoor patio is right on Hollywood boulevard, but you feel like you are in a private oasis tucked away and surrounded by plants! Would definitely dine again and cannot wait to try their new THERE THERE concept, opening soon.
