    Amazing experience! Me and my wife were there last night, had a great time. The dips were awesome , the fish was out of this world, portions were great. SERVICE was kind, friendly and informative , the manager even came out to see that everything is good, we actually had a nice conversation with him as well. On top of that, the alcoholic beverages were out of this world . Definitely coming back to try other things on the menu.

    Pasajoli is always great, genuinely one of my favorite restaurants in LA. But our waiter was on something. He totally ruined our experience. I wasn’t going to say anything but he was actually sent home by management. We were graciously comped our wine and the service fee was waived but still the experience was less than ideal.
