We opted for “Greatest Hits,” overall, all courses were substantial. In terms of quality, superb. However, the chicken entree lacked in flavor. Great atmosphere and amazing service; will be returning.

Ordered 4 appetizers of which 2 were good the other 2 not so much. The main dishes, the pasta we ordered did not hold up to the standard they’ve set for themselves. First and last time here.

Went here for my birthday with 3 of my girlfriends and had the best time. Bartenders were friendly, server was fantastic and so charming. Hostesses were sweethearts. Food was delicious. The restaurant itself was beautiful. They accommodated us in every way possible and were very attentive. Genuinely had the best experience, we will be coming back!

Great staff and restaurant space unfortunately food quality was not that good. I recommend the management to look into better chef and to elevate the quality of the food. Los Angeles is very competitive restaurant business.frankly the food quality reminded us something that you get at a national chain such as Olive Garden quality. We also noticed that the bench in the booths area were way too low. we felt that the tables were too high while sitting.

Went for Birthday dinner ordered ambiance was okay not excellent as music was too loud seats at booth are not very comfortable if your 5”2. Service was better with water boy then with actual server she argued wrong drink that was brought to us was indeed the the previous drink we had ordered you should really argue on what a customer just tasted and there was a complete color change in drink one was blue the other lemonade color. We’re trying to have an easy fun evening and she argued that although she did take of receipt the damage is done on how she approached situation . We actually didn’t care to be charged we just wanted the drink we ordered. Also being conscious of interested we still did 20 % tip . Perhaps there should be a training ok customer service and handling of situations like this. Food was okay not excellent tartar very fishy smell . Oysters not impressed with their condiments either. Only thing I can say was great was desserts and presentation .
