The seafood and pasta dish and the branzino we ordered were definitely overpriced coming from a Marylander, crab and shrimp over a vodka sauce and pasta shouldn't be 150$ but I wasn't paying since it was my birthday dinner. It was delicious though! My only other pet peeve is that they seemed as if they were going to charge me for my birthday dessert which I feel like is very disrespectful and I'm glad they didn't end up charging me but it's the principle that counts. Otherwise I loved my experience and will definitely be back!
Very nice, upscale eatery in a nice setting (indoor restaurant and pleasant outdoor patio). The food was great! We had the mushroom, caramelized onions pizza, steak & fritas, and smash burger. All were delicious! Since the restaurant is part of the hotel, the food was on the pricey side ($22 for the burger and fries). Also, parking can be challenging - unless you want to shell out for the hotel valet.

Single-handedly devoured the King Crab & Prawn pasta dish. It was delicious. The cocktails are fantastic too. The fromage noir cocktail was really unique and tasty. I will definitely be back because there are a few other dishes I’d like to try.

Selected Etta to meet up with friends for brunch. We started with mimosas and a artichoke pizza that was divine. The Shakshuka was tasty, although the bread that accompanies it could use a bit more substance. The Etta Soft Scramble was another popular choice and quite filling. The French toast was decadent. Our server was attentive and let us linger in the beautiful outdoor patio. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Our server was so sweet, attentive, and flat out amazing! I wish I would have written his name down for a well deserved shoutout. He definitely made our first visit so memorable, I definitely will be coming back and recommending this place to others. The host was also super nice & graceful!
My girlfriends and I had a wonderful Sunday afternoon at Etta! The drinks and food was good but the service was the best...topnotch!

Perfect for brunch for 2. Got the pancetta egg pizza and classic Caesar salad, the pizza was rich yet not greasy. The salad was well dressed.Very spacious interior with a shaded outdoor area, that was nice. Would come back again.

Not sure why this restaurant is so highly rated ?- Focaccia Bread ?. I am soooo excited to try their focaccia bread after reading people's good reviews about it, but it is wayyy below my expectation. It's $15 and definitely expensive for a bread ? Its skin is crispy, but I expect more fluffiness. The spread is underwhelming and nothing is special.- Grilled Pork Jowl ?. The most impressive plate on our table. The pork jowl pieces are juicy and perfectly charred. Love the sour herby taste of this dish. I’m drooling now ?♥️- Alla Vodka Pasta ?. It is an okay. It has this nice spicy kick, but apart from it, nothing really stands out. - Oxtail Gnocchi ?. Well braised and the gnocchi is so pillowy. It's pretty good!This restaurant is pretty expensive and it is hyped like crazy so I expect more from this ??

I was disappointed by the fried chicken picnic. The meat was very greasy and some parts were over fried so I couldn't eat it. The waffles were tasty, but overall I was not impressed.
Beautiful environment with a really good menu. The service was perfect. We really enjoyed our brunch and

The food is 5/5 (I wanted to clarify) their branzino is perfectly done, the chicken is the most moist and well seasoned chicken I’ve ever had and their oysters (pre marinated) were delicious (some may think too citrus).However knocked off 1 star for 4 reasons mainly.1) the menu does not have many options for those with dietary intolerances (example no vegan dishes , most everything including drinks have dairy!). Rarely (if anything ) gluten free. They did offer to leave off cheese off of some items (their eggplant dish which is delicious but spicy - be warned !)2) the drinks are not very well-balanced. Their fromage noir was interesting, but the theme of all 3 cocktails we tried were too heavy on the lemon juice (or yuzu); citrus was the major flavor you get out of their drinks.3) very hard to find the correct entrance , there are two other doors that are open but not “in use”. Enter the place up at the front by national Bl. Difficult to find parking unless you valet at the hotel which is $$$4) that brings me to the final reason - $$$$; it was a strangely priced place for example $20 for 4 oysters …. I though maybe at least it’ll be half a dozen, so odd. The branzino was $66 and definitely only a portion for 1. Drinks I guess are average for the LA area starting at $17 so come with expectations to spend at least $100 per person if you’re going to enjoy entrees starters and drinks.

Everything is great with the exception of the parking situation. It's definitely a roll of the dice and we found free parking on a Sunday nearby a Del Taco. Otherwise you're looking for street parking or you have to use the garage and pay. With all that said, everything was delicious and priced accordingly.

The food was really good! Their dry aged branzino is a must try. We started with Focaccia w Ricotta and wagyu meatballs, which are a must have! Then we went ahead and ordered alla vodka pasta which was very different and spicy, the braised oxtail gnocchi was actually very nice! We also diavola which was quite flavorful. We could have gone with another cocktail since the fromage noir was quite okay. Really good service.Parking could be a challenge here so you could also opt for valet since street parking isn’t available.

What a wonderful surprise for a hotel restaurant! Everything I tried was spectacular, including the eggplant, golden beets, bread(which is more like a brioche not focaccia), and avocado salad! (I didn't try the pepperoni pizza or fish at our table but heard they were also v good). Drinks were spot on too. Outside was chilly but they had heaters :)
