WHY DID YOU ALLOW ME TO MAKE A RESERVATION AT THIS RESTAURANT WHEN IT HAS BEEN CLOSED DOWN FOR TWO+ MONTHS??? THERE WAS ANOTHER COUPLE THERE WHO HAD ALSO MADE A RESERVATION ONLY TO FIND THAT THE RESTAURANT DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE.

We showed up on time for our reservation only to discover that the restaurant was CLOSED because of a fire a while ago. Why is Open Table taking reservations for a closed restaurant?

The place is neat. But I’ve only had the luck of eating there once due to their hours. Sat they don’t open till 4 and they’re closed on Sunday. It’s sad bc I rave abt them but can’t ever actually take anyone. Shame. But if you can make it in, the food is delicious. Bar is exceedingly limited.

Music had no real speaker sounded like someone was playing it on their phone. Space at the bar was really narrow .The chairs to sot and they were so old they dip in, very uncomfortable.Very limited menu, I would bot go back.

Delicious food at an incredible price. I highly recommend it for a special occasion, a romantic dinner, or even to get away to a quiet nicer dinner. I've been there three times for different event dinner events, each time my husband and I have not been disappointed. I love the brussels sprouts while my husband raved about the bone marrow appetizer. The salmon was on point and so was the Korean BBQ plate. The presentation is also well done. We look forward to our next dinning experience there.

Not a good experience. We went on a Saturday night, waited 45 minutes before anyone took our drink order and 1 1/2 hours before food came. Apparently they were short staffed. Very loud also. The food itself was tasty. But the service was poor as we were left to sit there being ignored.

A hidden gem! Cozy European feel. Good size portions. Full bar and wine cellar. Great place for a date night or girls night out. Or guys sports night as the bar has several large tv's

We were 6 friends and went here on Saturday night. We love this cozy neighborhood spot. The rib eye , short ribs and shrimp are our favorites. The staff is very friendly and competent.

We happen to love this restaurant and the vibe. However, tonight was so uncomfortably cold. I had to keep my coat on the entire meal. Overhead space heaters were not working and, honestly, why isn't there central heating to begin with? It may affect my willingness to return over the next couple of months. It's just not what you should expect from a restaurant during the winter months, or ever!

We just came back from a date night at Unwind and I can say without a doubt that it's our new favorite spot! The food was AMAZING (Cauliflower, Caprese Salad, Brussel Sprouts & Cheese Plate). The presentation was beautiful. The wine was delicious and the service was PERFECT! I can literally think of nothing bad to say about this place. We went tonight so it was a Saturday (they have live music Friday & Saturday) and the music was great! The vibe was amazing and it was everything we've been looking for in a near by date night spot. They do brunch so we will definitely come back to try that, and bring the kids for it! Do yourself a favor and check this place out!Vegetarian options: Lots of yummy vegetarian options. Non vegetarian ones too if you like meat!Dietary restrictions: Accommodating to your requests.Parking: Super easy and free!

It's easy to miss this place since it's in the back of a small plaza. It is located behind the IHOP on Ventura in Tarzana. I've been eyeing this place for a while as I'm a sucker for a place with live music. The ambiance did not disappoint. We arrived at 6:30pm on a Friday night. It was still about half empty at that point but was 75% filled within the hour. It's not a huge place but definitely perfect for a date or dinner with a small party. The live piano player and singer started by 7pm. He played all the old-school and romantic hits that get you in your feels. It complimented the meal and ambiance perfectly. We started with shishito peppers. The first few bites were some of the spiciest shishitos I've ever had but the last few were tolerable. I liked the sweet flavor but wouldn't get again since the level of spice is a surprise. The bone marrow, which is actually called steak tartare on the menu, was delicious; I just wish there was more of it. We also asked for toasted bread on the side so we could spread it on it as we are accustomed to that. We also opted to get the steak tartare on the side instead of on top of the bone marrow, which I think was a good decision since the bone marrow alone was perfect. I could probably eat 10 of them, but for $18 we stuck with one.We got the mushroom truffle risotto with shrimp as our main dish. It was very buttery, which made it so yummy but also heavy. We split just the 3 dishes and were full. Overall, cute spot for drinks, tapas, and music. Would return to sit at the bar with a drink and few bites and enjoy the sounds.

Great little spot in hidden corner of shopping center. Ambience is relaxing yet alive. Tapas servings are enough for two people to share 3 to 4 and I recommend the gambas. Ask for extra bread.
