Service and atmosphere were very mid for a place this $$$, but food was great. That's LA upscale, I guess? Glad I went, probably won't go back.

The food portions were extremely small for the price — for example, the $24 guacamole was barely enough to share between two people. Everything came beautifully plated but with almost no substance.
What made the evening worse was the poor service. The servers repeatedly tried to take our plates away without asking, even though we were still eating. When we politely said we weren’t ready, they seemed visibly annoyed — rolling their eyes and sighing (three times we had eyes rolled at us). It made the whole experience feel rushed and uncomfortable, and just weird
For the price and reputation, I expected much better service and hospitality. The atmosphere was nice, but that’s about the only positive thing I can say. Sadly, I wouldn’t come back or recommend Damian unless the service and portion sizes improve significantly.
The only dish rec: salmon tostada

Went to dinner to have a quiet intimate private conversation and was sat at tables that were so close it made private conversation impossible. Do not go if you need intimate movements. I was sitting closer to other guests that my partner Also they cleared our plates before we we finished! And the bathroom was out of paper towels, just felt not worth the $250+ price tag ,

We were going to stop by again but the place was closed for a dinner for the wealthy that included Tucker Carlson and Rick Caruso. It sounded like there was lot of hate rhetoric going on inside. I do not think the owners and restaurant care about the very culture they profit from. Try any other Mexican spot in the city to get better food.

Found several hairs in my food and the wait staff was extremely rude about it.
the duck carnitas taco was the standout of the dineLA 2025 menu. i typically enjoy the mains the most at damian and this was no exception

Everything here is beautiful. Food and interior! Got ceviche and aguachile to start. BOTH so delicious and refreshing. The huarache was surprisingly good (fried artichokes) and we ordered multiple rounds of the tomal de ricotta. Ended the meal with the bran imo which was so crispy and so moist. Amazing (but pricey) meal.

I used to love this place but I got very sick from something on their Dine LA menu. It used to be my favorite restaurant in LA but I don't think I'll be going back sadly.
