Two simple wooden doors open up to quite a buzz in an otherwise romantic courtyard, where a colorful crowd hangs at the bar and lingers at coveted patio tables. Inside, seats spread throughout the candlelit house-turned-restaurant with intimate furniture. Organic seasonal ingredients, creatively prepared and impeccably presented, characterize our unique menu.

    Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! We started with the octopus and the caviar. While the octopus was decent, it was slightly overcooked and just okay. In our opinion, the Little Door Caviar was the standout starter—its flavor was far superior. For mains, the Branzino was perfection—crispy and flaky on the outside, tender and soft on the inside. The ribeye was equally fantastic, cooked beautifully and packed with flavor. We finished the meal with the crème brûlée, which was the perfect dessert—smooth, creamy, and with a perfectly caramelized top. The service was impeccable, making the evening truly special. We celebrated my friend’s birthday, and it was a memorable experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back!

    I went to this restaurant last night to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday, and it was an amazing experience. The ambiance is incredibly romantic, making it the perfect spot for a date night. The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The drinks were also fantastic, with a great selection and perfectly balanced flavors. Our server, Leaticia, took excellent care of us with warm hospitality and thoughtful recommendations. Her attentive service made the evening feel even more special. If you’re looking for a spot with great food, delicious drinks, a cozy atmosphere, and outstanding service, this place is definitely worth a visit. We’ll be back for sure!

    The seating was terrible. Our cushions were all squished and couldn’t adjust without making everyone at tables near us get up and adjust. Food wasn’t very flavorful. Cocktails were good.

    I had the unfortunate experience of celebrating our anniversary 12/10 at what appeared to be a perfect restaurant, but the customer service was quite disappointing. From the moment we arrived, the hostess set the tone for the evening with her rude and unhelpful attitude. We had asked her if she could seat our photographer a few tables away from us so he could capture our special moment, but instead, she seated him two rooms away and told us there was no room, despite the restaurant being far from busy at 8 pm. It was incredibly frustrating, as we had specifically chosen this restaurant for a memorable anniversary experience. The problems didn’t stop there. After a long wait to have our order taken, we thought the worst was over. But then, to our shock, our waiter came up to us, handed back our tip, and bluntly said, "You need to leave." No explanation, no apology, just a cold, dismissive attitude. We were left speechless as he walked away without even acknowledging us any further and we left. As a courtesy to other customers we simply walked, but now I am writing to you to inform you that the way we were treated was unacceptable. The dinner was ruined by this discourteous behavior from the staff. To be treated with such disrespect on what was supposed to be a celebratory night was extremely disappointing. We will never return, and will strongly recommend that others avoid this place to prevent experiencing the same poor customer service we endured. We hope staff undergo a customer service training to retain clientele.

    We came here for my husbands birthday, that I made sure to note in reservation. When we arrived, there was no mention of his birthday. The food was ok overall, nothing that honestly stood out as delicious. We ordered the hamachi crudo to start and I would say that was maybe the best thing we ate all night. I ordered the Sea Bass and my Husband had the filet, both were honestly just ok and not much flavor. Service overall was good, our server was nice overall. I would say, I was honestly disappointed due to the fact that I wanted to make my husband‘s birthday special and it feels like it fell flat overall with the place I chose. I would say come here for the ambience to experience the quaint beautiful restaurant that it is, but we will not be making a second return.

    A fun & playful interior design that feels like an adult treehouse makes this a must see restaurant in LA. Food was quality but not jaw-dropping. Service was a little slow but the ambiance had us mesmerized and distracted. Much of the restaurant is under a partially covered roof, so temperature can vary. I’d suggest wearing layers.
