We arrived on time for our reservation. It was awkward and uncomfortable. The bar was overflowing with people, and they told us to wait at the bar. There was no place to stand and we weren't able to order drinks. I had put in the reservation notes that it was my birthday and the hostess, nor the waiters had acknowledged that it was my birthday, and it felt like we were seated at one of the worst tables in the entire venue very disappointing. I do not think I will be celebrating another special occasion here if it won't be acknowledged at all. Service was not great, but I liked my burger.

Food was good, not great. Ambience was amazing. Coktails were šŸ‘ŒšŸ¼ They have a 90min maximum that they don't disclose until they want you out of there. For the prices I paid, it would be nice to chat and hand out without feeling like they want you out. 2 hours is a more reasonable time limit in my opinion but here we are. Waitress was nice (like a robot) until she wasn't (this shift happened even before the time limit was over. Honestly prefer a spot where I can enjoy my ā€œsobremesaā€ after paying what I paid, to me that's part of the experience. And a time limit disclosure would be highly recommended to avoid the disappointment

We had Samantha as our waitress and she was so lovely! Great service, energy and lots of great suggestions!

Definitely one of my favourite LA spots when I’m in town. Book a reservation, come on time and you’ll have a great night. The food is great, a little more expensive then it should be but you’re paying for the atmosphere. We had the cherry tomato pizza, calamari, kale salad, pesto pasta and the bread pudding. The cherry tomato pizza and the bread pudding were the stars for me. The staff are attentive and quick, the atmosphere is beautiful and the live music is the cherry on top. Definitely recommend.

I love this place. We always go before catching a show at the Largo. Great drinks and their Brussels sprouts are amazing!

I had a great first experience with Miguel as our server. He was very polite, efficient, and gave us enough space without disrupting service. The ambiance was fantastic, and we were sat immediately upon arrival. Only thing I would've changed is the volume of the live music, but he was still very talented, so props to him.

Convenient location across from the largo but not worth it - waste of time and money. Poor and rude service.

Great service and great food always. Martini Mondays are awesome as they go beyond just a drink special but also food specials paired with them!

Katherine

Very cute. We took our kids, but probably wouldn't go back with kids again (not a bad thing!). Food was quite salty and service was a little slow, but everyone was kind. Overall experience was good and I would go back again. Would recommend for date night or girls night (small group).

This was a TOP NIGHT!!
We had a reservation at 8p and around 9p they tried to seat us in patio (it was cold outside) and so we had to wait for another 45 minutes to be seated. It was very crowded but really worth the wait. The manager Je’re was wonderful and very helpful. She sat us in a cozy booth when our table was ready.

This place is a VIBEEEE. We came here on Martini Monday! Such a hidden gem and if you roll a double on your dice you get your meal for free! And we rolled a double 3 times!!!

We got the burger (delish) the bolognase (amazing) and Caesar salad. We also got espresso martinis which I normally don’t like but they were very good.

Highly recommend!

The drinks and vibe are fantastic! We were seated outside (didnt even realize they have an outside section) and it was terrible. Their outdoor seating is two 4-tops enclosed by a wooden wall that looks akin to where you would put a dumpster. It had zero of the character of the rest of the restaurant. We chose to wait for a seat at the bar, which was lovely. Great cocktails and attentive, personable staff! The food was middling, for example, the meatballs were barely warm and the paillard overwhelmed by burned garlic.

First off, I never leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share this with y'all. Let's dig in. The staff was friendly but we were sat 20 minutes after our reservation time. We ordered some cocktails that took about 30 minutes to get. They arrived after our appetizer, which was 3 meatballs for like 22 bucks. The cacio e Pepe was about 8 bites in total and had the noodle texture and taste of krafts Mac n cheese. Sauce was bangin though. All in all we had two pasta entrees, two cocktails, and one appetizer and it was almost $200. The vibe is cool for sure and they had a nice jazz duo playing, but that girls voice wasn't enough to soothe my soul after this highway robbery. Would not recommend on YELP.
