I’ve always been a huge fan of the LA one, but this one is next level. The interior still moody but less dark, super cozy corners. I love the location of the open kitchen. The two stories are both fantastic with high ceilings. The staff is very well-versed and the food totally on point… can’t wait to be back many more times.

This is a quiet and comfortable place with an easy manner. The food was good, and the service was very good (even if one of our appetizers went to "another table"). The flatbread was not inspired, but the shishito and mushroom appetizer was excellent. The well-seasoned chickpeas made the baby gem Caesar a good pick. Crispy salmon was tasty, but I'm not sure the sweet potato puree was the right condiment. I give the atmosphere high marks and recommend this place for a repeat visit.

It was wonderful. I will definitely be back!! It’s a little difficult to find from the street, so better signage would be helpful.
