Best Lunch Restaurants in Los Angeles / Orange County

Nice restaurant. We went for the Thanksgiving Day dinner. They were out of turkey, which was what we both wanted to order. The other 3 options available were good., so we had beef and salmon. Would like to try this restaurant for their regular menu sometime.

The food was really outstanding, and the service was very, very good. The room is noisy and it was made worse by some of the music choices and the volume of the music. The lighting at night time is not ideal for a restaurant offering this quality of food. It would be nicer to enjoy the food and the service in an environment where you don't have to yell at each other. The acoustics of the room is difficult, so maybe it would be wise to tone things down a little bit.

Came here to celebrate my own Thanksgiving Day and was super impressed by this place and the experience! The views were spectacular and the food was top notch! My favorites were the grilled octopus, the turkey, as well as the mashed potatoes! The desserts were super good too! Service is nice, friendly, and helpful. Very professional! The only downside is that the restroom is a little filthy and no guarantee for window seating. Great for all formal and special occasions! Highly recommended!

We sat at the Chef's Bar. It was cozy and so interesting watching the chef's cook. Jake was our server. He was outstanding. It was our first time at the restaurant, and he guided us beautifully through the menu, including by telling us HIS favorite dishes, which we always appreciate. Service was amazing; we never felt rushed, and our meal was timed perfectly. The food -- gosh, just next level. Even the classics were elevated by care of preparation, extra layers of taste, and beauty of presentation. At some places, these strengths come with a trade-off in smaller portions -- not here; the servings are generous. We started by sharing the beet salad and the onion soup gratin, then the mussels and fries for me and the Big Mec and fries for her; we finished with the triple-chocolate soufflé (chocolate soufflé, chocolate sauce, snd chocolate sorbet). The fries are cooked in clarified butter rather than oil, which makes for a cleaner potato taste. All the food was outstanding. The prices were fair in relation to value. Oh, and an excellent sidecar cocktail to start. And the baguette with a quality of butter that you can't get at the supermarket. Amazing place, wish we'd discovered it sooner, and will now return frequently. Amazing meal and fun evening!!!

Wow, coming from a first generation Italian family with a Mom who is the “heavy weight champion” of authentic Italian fare. This meal was epoch. We need DRAGO in Boston!! I will always come back here when I am any where near LA. Service, class and perfection all around the table… Erik Santucci
