The most delicious turkey we have ever eaten for Thanksgiving dinner. The salmon was flavorful as well, and the portions were generous, and we had leftovers.

We ate here for Thanksgiving dinner and it was perfect. Atmosphere was festive, food was delicious and just the right amount, and of course we had the famous biscuits which were to die for. Will definitely come back and experience the fantastic service and food again.

My husband and I had a memorable dinner last night. Service was impeccable. My husband uses a Seeing Eye Dog and we felt welcomed. Kudos to the service staff and the chef! The food and drinks (try a Bloody Mary here) were sublime. We wish we had a restaurant of this quality near where we live! Happy Thanksgiving!

Having grown up in the restaurant biz and after running one of the most successful joints in town, I must say, THIS might be one of the most quintessential places in all of Southern CA. Makai (sp?)greeted us like we were family. Can’t wait to come back.

The food here is truly amazing, an easy recommendation. The service was amazing always met with a smile. and truly never felt like I was left out. The ambience was great and something fairly unique not the reason you should go to this place but nice nevertheless. Each dish truly felt like I was going back to something amazing- they all had great profiles that would compliment the other dishes very well. everything I ate seemed well thought out and truly wonderful. an easy recommendation to anyone looking to grab food in LA.
