    This place has gone down in service and quality of food We ordered yellow tall, carpaccio with jalapeño came out very, very dry,  also seared albacore with fried onions same thing very dry the Crunchyroll the corn was so old and dry. The vodka selection was only Titto's or House brand. God knows what that was anything we asked for from the bar either they were out of it or had only one shot left, and it was a big group of us 10 people overall very poor service and food was also very poor quality .

    Ate before Lakers game…Not as good as Katsuya in Hollywood! Limited menu (not sure if that is game day related) not as good as Hollywood menu. All they are trying to do is turnout as much food as possible before the game starts. Won’t be going to this ovation ever again. Quality not as good and there is a tension about getting in and out before the game starts.

    Slow service, especially wait staff (gentlemen handling busing were on point). A bit loud from multiple music sources within the promenade. Food hitting as always.

    Great food, poor service. Very very slow service and incredibly out of order. They brought out my appetizer first, then my girlfriends main dish and then my girlfriends appetizer after and then my drink after that and then like 30 minutes later they brought out my main dish. It was decently busy given it was Valentine’s Day but not so much that it excused the services. Also pretty overpriced for the amount of food given. Maybe for a light lunch, not good for a nice dinner.

    Overall, a very good experience, the sushi rolls can be a little bit on the pricey side. The dessert chocolate cake called soup was surprisingly very good. The waitress was definitely amazing and attentive.

    Sat 20 minutes after our reservation. 25 more minutes until food arrived. Mediocre sushi at top tier pricing.
