We came to 208 Rodeo to celebrate a special moment — just after getting our marriage license at the nearby courthouse — and I honestly can’t imagine a more perfect place to toast the occasion. From the moment we arrived for our 3:30 PM indoor reservation, we were welcomed with warmth, care, and genuine hospitality that made us feel like the moment truly mattered.
The food? Incredible. Each dish stood strong on its own — but the sauces elevated them to the next level. The watermelon salad was fresh and bright, the calamari & shrimp perfectly crispy, and the blackened salmon cooked to perfection with bold, balanced flavor. The fish and chips were also a standout: light, flaky, and absolutely satisfying.
The sourdough bread with truffle butter is an absolute must — rich, indulgent, and worth every bite. Paired with their house olive oil infused with basil and parmesan, even the bread course felt luxurious.
Drinks were equally memorable. We tried a lychee martini, bellini, Blue Moon, and espresso martini, each crafted beautifully and easy to love. For dessert, we had a smooth, elegant panna cotta and — the star of the show — the brownie.
Let me be clear: I do not have a sweet tooth. But this brownie? It moved me to tears. No exaggeration — it’s the best brownie I’ve ever had. If I had to choose between that brownie and my fiancé… well, he knows how much I love him, but that brownie might win. I would have licked the plate if I could.
Service was outstanding. Viliam, our server, was warm, knowledgeable, and truly made us feel celebrated. While he was on break, Luca continued the exceptional service without missing a beat. Manager William was present, engaged, and clearly invested in both his team and the guest experience — a rare and appreciated quality.
As an OR nurse, I also couldn’t help but notice their impeccable hand hygiene technique and timing — a small detail that spoke volumes about their professionalism and standards.
A final shoutout to Chef Curt, the mastermind behind it all. Every plate that came out of that kitchen was balanced, intentional, and downright delicious.
208 Rodeo isn’t just a restaurant — it’s an experience. One filled with joy, care, and flavor. It was the perfect way to celebrate our next chapter, and we can’t wait to come back.

The staff was amazing. I left them one MPS coin. If you wanna call me back to do another video for them he’s gonna be free. I cannot afford to eat to this restaurant, but I’m gonna give it five stars because I know the food is gonna be amazing when I’m gonna be a crypto millionaire. I’m gonna buy something here to eat.

The prices were ridiculous. The waiter tipped herself 100 dollars without consultation. Do not come if you want to eat somewhere with a reasonable price.

SCAM and Dishonest practices. I order a salad asked me you want chicken i said yes then he aks do you want avocados i said sure same for apple Martini he asks me is Grey goose ok i said yes then surprise the bill comes and avocado mind tou was 3 tiny slices $6 chicken $12 then apple martini $22+$4 for grey goose, never was any additional fee mentioned or in the menu for the cocktail or avocado (was expecting additional for protein) anyways paid almost $200 for 2apple martini, 1 salad and 1 sandwich, oh and water bottle $10- ridiculous

ABSOLUTE SCAMS , I went there to eat with a friend of mine ordered a spaghetti bolognese and a Moroccan dish and I was asked if I wanted for them to add BLACK TRUFFLE which I thought I was just part of the meal at no extra charge , when the bill came I was shocked that the BLACK TRUFFLE added onto the dishes was $55 each which is ridiculous knowing that I was not told that it was going to be a extra fee , so I was forced to pay an extra $110 for this , absolutely disgusting to trick customers into payment for stuff they don’t even know have extra fees , and they also did not care when i mentioned to them . So for anyone going there please be very careful and ask for the price before you eat your food.

Sehr herzlicher und freundlicher Empfang! Service, Essen und Atmosphäre Spitzenklasse. Qualität sensationell gut. Etwas teuer, aber es lohnt sich

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant last night! From the moment we arrived, the reception was warm and inviting. But what truly made the night exceptional was our waiter, Brandon. He was outstanding—genuinely one of the best servers I've ever had. Brandon was not only incredibly friendly and kind, but also super knowledgeable about the entire menu. He gave thoughtful recommendations, and made us feel completely taken care of the entire time. You could tell he truly enjoys what he does, and his energy added so much to the overall vibe of the evening. The food itself was fantastic—every dish we tried was flavorful and beautifully presented. But even with how great the food was, it was Brandon's service that really stood out. We'll definitely be back, and we'll be asking for Brandon again!

Really enjoyed my dinner here. The service was outstanding. A lot to choose from on the menu. I was not sure what to expect but the interior of the restaurant is tiny but that did not really limit our enjoyment of the restaurant. We ate on the patio which was fine

I love this restaurant. I've had lunch there on my last trip to LA and dinner this time. Great location, great atmosphere, very friendly staff. The patio is wonderful and heaters kept us warm on a chilly evening. We will return again next time we are in town.
