    A very nice restaurant. Unfortunately, there was a very strong storm and we had to take everything in hand. This made the room a little louder. The personal service was very accommodating. I would definitely go back.

    Really awesome experience! Maria S was our server and she was the sweetest. It was my mom’s bday and we just decided to go for lunch. Didn’t realize there wasn’t valet parking for lunch so went in circles trying to figure out parking - park in the visitor underground parking garage of the US bank building. Restaurant will validate 2 hours of parking for $10 (instead of $40). Loved all the food. Ceviche was fresh, the pasta appetizer felt like a huge portion, hanger steak and smashed fried potatoes were divine, and the seared ahi tuna over veggies/salad was refreshing and light. The view is grand and made the meal feel so worth it.

    The food here is absolutely outstanding. it’s no wonder this place has thrived for nearly a decade and keeps people coming back. With excellent dishes, reasonable prices, and a perfectly cozy ambiance, it delivers a true dining experience. This is hands down my new favorite spot for a warm, intimate dinner with my husband. Last night, we tried just about everything and couldn’t find a single thing to complain about. If you’re looking for exceptional Italian cuisine with a modern twist, this is the place to be.

    What a great way to take advantage of a beautiful LA day! Had brunch here and absolutely loved the outdoor venue and walking around seeing all the art. Had never really been to this part of LA and I was certainly missing out. Such a great vibe. Originally from the south I’m pretty critical when it comes to southern food but the beignets and cornbread were spot on. So yummy! Everyone at our table loved the shrimp and grits…just meh. The sides were true stand outs and the blistered snap peas were delicious. The popover Benedict was unique and the market salad had such unexpected ingredients. We loved them all and will definitely be back. And don’t forget the fun cocktails, and yummy desserts . Service was great as well!
