There was a live worm in our salad. Instead of comping the whole meal they didn't charge for the salad. Also thought it was in bad taste to charge the 20% service fee. Customer service was not great and felt like the waitress was trying to rush us out there.

This is a great choice for a lively and delicious dinner. The menu was fairly classic with some French standards, French onion soup, etcetera, but there was definitely some California tweaks. The room was very busy and the tables close together but it had a very Lively neighborhood feel. If you want a quiet place for quiet conversation this is not your restaurant. Service was a little slow, but they were pretty busy. My only gripe, was that they automatically added 20% to tip our bill but didn't tell us- and we were a party of 2 not 10. My friend didn't catch it before she had already added an additional tip. So heads up there. But otherwise, will definitely return.

This restaurant is superb. Locals-style place with incredible service, a nice vibe, and the utmost tasty food. They were able to accommodate food allergies with precision and excellence. The chicken was extremely juicy and the Italian Chopped Salad was one of the best I’ve had. The dressing ratio was perfect. Great wine list. I’ll be back! Highly recommend the chicken and branzino.

Food was mostly good, pasta bolognese was very very salty, service was good, waitress was shouting very loudly but not their fault, the place is small and lively

Tsk tsk. Bad taste to hide the 20% service charge on the bill and have a line for tip still with no mention. They said nothing about this when presenting the check normally and almost got a 40% tip out of us!! Leaves a horrible taste in your mouth after. I can only imagine how many people leave double quickly signing the bill and trusting their servers to be accurate and wanting to leave a good tip. People are drinking here, it’s a wine bar. You’re taking advantage of your patrons! Apparently from other reviews it’s super small print on the menu, I didn’t see it. Be aware!! Won’t be back.

Good wine menu, really good pasta, but the music was so loud when we arrived that everyone in the restaurant was shouting. Also, we were very confused by the 20% service fee, which now we know is not considered a tip? Made for an awkward end to an otherwise good night out.

i hate the fact that on top of overpriced menu items, they charge 20% service fee and then even expect for a tip. Rude and disrespectful, and they don't deserve our visits.

Had dinner here tonight and got hit with a mandatory 20% service charge for just two people. That’s ridiculous. They never told us upfront, only hid it in the tiniest print at the bottom of the menu. Feels like cheating customers.
When we complained, suddenly they said they could remove it—so clearly it’s not really “mandatory.” They also tried to justify it by saying some restaurants do this, but this was my first time seeing it, and it’s a scam.
And to top it off, the fine print says it’s a service charge, not a tip. Honestly, that’s a joke.

Why do I pay 20% mandatory service charge when we are a party of two? I’m also a tourist so chances i’ll be coming again are very low. Last time I checked it was illegal. Oh yea please check the font size for the disclaimer is this a joke or what?

Awesome little spot on Beverly, wasn't aware of this one at first and was brought by a friend. Really loved the atmosphere, it had a really laid back vibe matched with incredible food and wine. We had the bolognese and it was flawless. Definitely a pricey spot, would expect to spend $70-100 a person but for the right occasion it's a great choice.

They operate dishonestly and cheat when they present the bill. On the bill that you have to sign when paying with a credit card, they leave a place to leave a tip for service. On the bill itself, they state that they charged 20% without asking permission!!! - this is simply theft. I assume that many sign and add a tip without noticing that they charged a 20% tip. They should be reported immediately!

Hours on the website say they close their kitchen at 10pm. I walked there and arrived at 9:03 to find the kitchen closed at 9pm. Disappointed to say the least.
