Service was over and above expectations. Really nice, hip space. We ate outdoors so were happy to have the lower noise level than usual in an LA restaurant -- because I actually wanted to talk to my table-mates. (I heard the restaurant might have a DJ sometimes, so check first so that you don't accidentally come on a night with music blaring.) The food was excellent. I would definitely go back. A+

Another great find at Brizo--the breakfast burrito! Decadent deliciousness! You will not need lunch after starting the day with this bad boy that floats atop a cushion of purred black beans and is dressed with squiggles of avocado cream. Oh, and of course, the service is always great. So nice to be around smiling people.

The food was delicious. I had a cheeseburger and my friend had the lobster bisque. We stayed inside since it was chilly outside. It was also chilly in the restaurant as well. Service was great!

Customer service was great, smiling faces with pleasant attitude. The prices are high but if you don’t mind paying for the aesthetics and atmosphere, then this place is for you. I loved it, people were singing and the ambiance was energetic and contagious. Valet was a great, I hate looking for parking, $15. Overall experience was great!

Had the best time here celebrating my best friends mini bachelorette! Loved that we could get a small table area with just an RSVP and no minimum, while having our own cocktail server. The music was mixed and great vibes for everyone, so much fun!
