“Food is a 4 star but the atmosphere and service were 5 stars. Group of us ordered most of the menu and everything was good but not great. Everything just lacked that punch of flavor but the standouts were the bruschetta and the ribeye with chimichurri were my favorites.”
“We did the chefs tasting and it was SOOOO GOOD! Very fresh and delicious. Only complaint is that it was quite cold and we were told there were no heaters that could be moved to our area”
“The best place for an incredible night out in LA! As soon as we parked the smell of the outdoor grill hit us. We knew we were in for something special. We were sat immediately with a reservation, and had the best service. Mike was our waiter and was everything you want in a server and more. He was present but not overly so, he knew his wines well, and was clearly very passionate about the food. He’s service absolutely made our night! The food was the only thing that overshadowed Mike’s excellence, every bite was divine. We shared the hummus toast, zucchini, Japanese, sweet potato, Shishito peppers. And for mains enjoyed a chicken skewer, lamb chops, and ribeye. The lamb was seasoned and cooked perfectly, being my best bite of the night, but the chicken skewer won the hearts of the larger group. We finished off with their chocolate cake which was perfectly gooey in the center. There is so much more I would come back for. The atmosphere was just spectacular! Beautiful outdoor seating area, suitable for larger groups or small tables. Good music and great vibes. All in all I’m just upset that I didn’t come try this place sooner. Definitely going to be a staple of mine moving forward. If you go ask for Mike (Big Chicago Bears fan). You’re in the best hands with him!”
“We were a group of five and ordered different items. They were delicious and tasty. The outdoor patio is so nice and shaded. They have cute wooden chairs. Service has room to improve, although it was not that crowded when we came, it took long enough to notice and they need more people considering space. However, the waitress was so nice and welcome. Food was tasty, well garnished, however, it was not served hot.”
“Unbelievably slow kitchen 1:35 from order for 12 being served chef's choice from appetizer to meal. Drinks took 45+ min. after order to arrive. Short rib was excellent, Steak was tough snd full of grissle - poor quality, Cauliflower was very tender. Mixed vegetables were excellent. Hamachjli crude was very flavorful. Chicken skewers were dry. Shrimp was so-so. Corn on the cob was cold and uninteresting.”
