Discover the diversity of South American cuisine through the tradition of live fire cooking, all prepared with a side of dazzling showmanship.

Over an open wood flame, Esquire Chef of the Year Ray Garcia and his team cook a regularly changing menu featuring fine cuts of meats, fresh seafood, and creative vegetarian dishes, all kissed with smoke and infused with bold, refined flavors.

Relax in the seductive, tropical-hued dining room or on the pool deck for an alfresco meal. And keep your eye on the rotating liquor risers, which perform their own synchronized routine when someone orders a specialty cocktail.

Please note that we are an Adults Only (21+) establishment after 9:00 PM. Parking validation is available.

For parties of 6 or more, please email restaurants@level8dtla.com.

Our experience was absolutely incredible! The waitress provided fantastic recommendations that captured our taste buds. We were thrilled to have a dedicated team bustling about, constantly replenishing our water and bringing fresh plates and silverware for each delicious dish we ordered. What truly captivated us was watching the chef in action! His passion for his craft was mesmerizing; it felt like witnessing an artist expertly crafting their next masterpiece. We were completely in awe! Overall, we had an amazing time and can't wait to return for more culinary magic!

Loved the food, we thought the portions would be small but I’d say one is good to share for two. Definitely will be returning to this location and the other restaurants here at level 8. It’s like a piece of Vegas here in LA

Second time at this place food is good but it is a little pricey for the amount. Other than that the place is beautiful and the drinks are so good! I did ask for counter seating but when I arrived I was told that it wasn’t available so I did not get the counter experience I had expected.

Came for cocktails and appetizers with a friend and drinks were not tasty. Food was not special. It should be noted that the dining area was tiny and caused for us to almost be sharing a table with both parties to either side of us. Cute place but will not be coming back.

Great Saturday night at Que Barbaro! Noe our server was great! Food was top notch! Experience was great from the moment we stepped off the elevator. Hostess was friendly, Olivia the manager stopped by our table and was friendly as well! Can’t wait to go back and see what they are doing in Golden hour for the holidays! The decorations already look great!
