Love this place. The food is good. Service is good, but could be more thoughtful and attentive. The courses they have are well curated. I will definitely be back.

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+

Food was great except the meatballs. Salmon Tartine was so good we ordered another one. Wine was nice and all the staff was great. Server was wonderful, hostess wonderful. We sat at one of the the high tables in the bar area. The only problem is the high stools with the flimsy backs need to be changed. Totally uncomfortable and you slide right out of them plus the upholstery is worn out.
