I went there for Happy Hour on a friday and I was able to find a seat at the bar. It was fairly busy. The place is super cute, there's a garden patio like area where the tables where with a huge tree in the center.

The Happy Hour red wine was $8 a glass and a decent pour. The oysters were good. Nothing special about them, they were fresh. The croquettes were delish! You can't really go wrong with fried battered potatoes balls, and the aoli complimented the croquettes well. Now for the newer dish, that was tuna tartar and the server asked for my feedback and I was honest, also he kind of warned me about the presentation. It tasted good, or fine. I think that's scrambled eggs on top? Anywho, it looked like canned tuna, it obviously isn't and didn't taste like that. I recommended adding some microgreens for some color and texture. I did love the idea of shrimp chips vs the typical wontons so that was impressive. I'll have to come back for lunch or try their HH burger, it's worth it since it's only $12. Fries sold separately.

Waited 30 minutes to place order Was provided with 2 lunch menus which had different prices than dinner so Taste of LA ended up costing $55 as opposed to $35 per person. Plates sat finished for 30 minutes while server chatted at the side. Had to asked for bill which came with $165 erroneous extra charge for 3 Caesar Salads.

Great food, service was exceptional and we will be going back. Half off all wine bottles on a wednesday.

Overall it was a great dining experience. Our server was amazing. The food was good, not great but very good.

The food was delicious. In addition to a couple of appetizers, we had hamburgers, clams and trout. they were all very tasty but I did find the almonds and butter on the trout to a little too salty for my taste buds. The servers effecient and very attentive. I loved the ambiance and stayed longer than we normally do when out to dinner.

Two of us had the mussels and they were superb. Drinks were good, too, and our server was wonderful. The menu is fairly limited, but overall it was very enjoyable.

I love this restaurant, it's one of my favorites. However, I was disappointed in the Thanksgiving meal. The turkey was over salted (and the portion was small). The mashed potatoes were runny and the stuffing was just ok. I did love the pecan pie. I guess the old saying, you get what you pay for rings true for this special event. I would not come back for the Thanksgiving dinner again, but will be back for all else.

My drink only arrived only after the appetizers had been consumed. They forgot my food entirely when the entrees arrived...and finally showed up after everyone had finished. My friends ordered glasses of wine, but those too were an afterthought, served way after the entrees had arrived. And the food?....inedible. DRY DRY DRY overly-salted duck. The heaters ran out of propane and we were freezing. DON"T GO. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

Some people just work in the wrong industry. Bartender when we went did not see customers at the bar that were waiting for menus, to order, etc. When he finally came around he would take one order and walk away while we were also trying to order food. And when he brought the drinks, he was short and didn’t want to be bothered. So we closed out and went to the Culver Hotel

Definitely recommend coming here for happy hour - the food and the pricing on that menu is incredible. Other items are a little pricey for what they are but everything is delicious.
