    It was fantastic. The only issue we had was that the food was kind of slow to come out, but I think we were there during a big rush. The server apologized profusely without us even making a point of it even offered to comp some of our food. Altogether excellent service

    We had been wanting to try this place for a while and Dine L.A. Week gave us the opportunity to do it. The food was great. The bag of warm focaccia with homemade pesto to start was a nice touch. The flavor of the short rib ragú was very well developed and the texture of the pasta was perfect. We especially enjoyed the branzino carpaccio- so fresh and tasty. And the pistachio profiteroles were incredible. All of the service staff were lovely and friendly but they could have used another person on this busy night. The place is clean and inviting with cute twinkly lights and a pretty wine wall. I felt the tables for 2 along the back where we sat were too close together so we were unable to tune out the conversation next to us.

    I was looking for somewhere to have breakfast with my family and found this place on Yelp. We had an amazing time! Kayla was our server and she was very nice and attentive. We ordered the Shrimp & Grits, the Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Waffle, as well as Pancakes and everything was delicious! We’ll definitely be back!
