Unfortunately we didn’t have a great meal here. The Amari spritz from their Amari menu lacked the flavors the menu listed. The baked feta was fine but small, and needed more of the honey or dates. The lentils were perfectly cooked and salted but no flavors were added, so the dish was fine but pretty boring. The vegetable tagine had a great flavor but all the veg was way undercooked. The worst dish was easily the risotto, which we couldn’t finish. It had an unappetizing taste, was very grainy, and basically solidified within 5 min of hitting the table. We are speculating but believe this was a vegan dish and the fake dairy may have contributed. Service also was overwhelmed. Took 90 min from finishing entrees to getting check.

If you were wondering about going to this place for food, coffee, or drinks, the answer is YES.
When you want a hidden gem in LA, this is the spot.
I highly recommend their Flat White, should you go for that sort of thing.

Wow! What a pleasant surprise…. I heard good things but I was blown away. We did baba ganoush, lamb meatballs, shishito peppers, mitake mushrooms, baquerones, halibut, lamb kebab, and spaghetti and shared family style. Put a fork in me it was sooooo good. Best of all is Katie behind the bar. She knows how to make you feel welcome! 10/10

Stopped in here for DineLA bc I live up the block. Never heard of this place but the menu was intriguing. It was 3 courses for $35. Every course was solid. The watermelon salad and the peach cobbler with house made vanilla are must tries! I sat at the bar and the other thing I really appreciated was how attentive the bar tender and the staff were: super friendly, multiple check ins, and quick service. All that, coupled with great chunes and a chill ambiance made for a really enjoyable experience. I'll be returning for sure.

What a hidden gem! This spot is so cute, perfect for a date night. They have an incredible mix including lots of vegan options. Their mushrooms are so good, it’s honestly unbelievable.
Also, every single staff member was just so nice and lovely. We can’t wait to eat here again!

I would recommend coming at night, when the vibe is a bit more cozy. I went during the day (for happy hour) and the mood was slightly sterile. The deal was pretty decent for happy hour, however the service was a bit plasticine and the waitress didn’t know which drink to recommend with X or Y dish, overall takes away from any kind of mid to fine dining experience. Other than that the food was solid.

Simply my favorite place in Los Angeles to eat. Loved it when it was vegetarian and it’s even more amazing now that they offer a fish and lamb. Everyone here is very kind and accommodating and they go out of their way to make you feel welcome. They truly put love into their food and ambience.

Saw this place on the Clock app and decided to go for dinner. I ordered the hummus, the lamb kebab and a date cake. The food was absolutely amazing. Pretty large portions cooked incredibly fresh. My only complaint was that the date cake had too much caramel, but the whip cream on top really made up for it.
Amazing menu, great wine list, and aperitifs.Everything is made with the finest ingredients and care, the service is wonderful, always a treat.The space is very beautiful and comfortable, well designed and styled
