Jose is a great server. Very thoughtful in his recommendations and pays close attention to detail. The food was amazing, lots of flavor. We had a bunch of mariscos appetizers. My favorite was the salmon tostada

Food was excellent. Waitstaff was friendly just a little slow and didn't check in for a while. Also not quick to make suggestions or give descriptions about items. Food was absolutely delicious.
My guy and I had an absolutely incredible dinner at Damian. We did the DineLA tasting menu and ordered additional dishes as well. Our wonderful server was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, and she gave some great recommendations at the start of the meal. I also love Damian's aesthetic, and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back.

Our waiter was AMAZING Kevin C made sure my husband's birthday was a good celebration and my husband is not a fan of going to expensive restaurants but i told him Damian was different and the taste was very unique and he said now Damian is on his top list My son which he is 9 years old requested a mocktail and Kevin recommended their Horchata and my son had 2 of them We will be going back to Damian and we will request Kevin thank you for a great night

What an incredible experience! From the time my guests and I stepped inside the Damians, we knew we would be in for an incredible adventure. The staff that greeted us gave us a warm welcome and as we walked through the restaurant to our table, the other staff members made eye contact and welcomed us warmly as well. The vibe was fantastic; we really loved the lighting and the music was at just the right level. Our server knew the menu inside and out and made some good menu recommendations. Let me tell you, the food was truly inspiring, well-crafted and inspired! It was once of the most enjoyable meals I've had in recent memory. It was wave after wave of flavor and there was an incredible consistency with the unique flavor profiles. The staff moved liked a well-oiled machine reminiscent of experiences I have had at some of the Michelin restaurants I've visited and I have absolutely no doubt that Damian will earn a star at some point!

Damian is an interesting restaurant, it breaks the mold for "Mexican". As the flavors were much more sophisticated than the usual "Mexican" fare. The food was excellent. I loved the chicken entree and the octopus appetizer. The service was attentive and on top of things. I would definitely go back to enjoy the food there again.
Cocktails, food, and service have always been exceptional here. I’ve probably been here more than a dozen times over the years. Last night, after finishing dinner, we stayed chatting at the table for another 30 minutes—and no one rushed us or made us feel like we were overstaying. It’s genuinely refreshing to enjoy a place where hospitality doesn’t end the moment the check is paid.

Amazing dinner! The best Mexican food we've had since Mexico City. The duck carnitas were amazing as well as the salmon and Caesar salad tostadas. Excellent cocktails with a great selection of mezcal. Our server was very attentive. The crowd was upscale and chill. Will definitely be back.

It was just ok experience. Food was pretty decent. Not amazing but not bad. Dont bother ordering guacomole as the chips that came with it was not very good

The mexican dining experience you need to have in LA! Food is astounding, service is excellent and the vibe is chill. Went with friends another country who have never had real Mexican food. They loved it!

Went for a date night with my boyfriend. This place is cute and very chill (aside from the crying baby there at 8 PM ðŸ˜). The food was delicious and my bf thoroughly enjoyed his mezcal paloma.
We started with the salmon tostada and carrot aguachile - chunks of shrimp and scallop under shaved jicama and mango
Then we had the tlayuda - a crisp tortilla topped with delicious shredded short rib and delicate purslane and squash blossom.
Then grilled prawns, the ricotta tamal with fresh corn - so creamy and light - and the duck confit tacos from the happy hour menu.
We finished with a slice of their chocolate, mezcal, and café torte, which is stellar and great for sharing because it's so rich. And they treated us to their special occasion tres leches cake since we were celebrating 14 years together.

Everything was great. Pricey but worth it.
