Went for the music and a glass of wine- met friends, and this place is really fun! Highly recommend for a date night- the music was amazing, but never overpowered the conversation. Staff and service were excellent!

I live nearby and never knew there’s such an amazing piano bar so close until recently. None of the dishes we ordered were disappointing. Amazing service, wonderfully decorated space (we heard that it was converted from an actual recording studio so the acoustics was really good) and of course the live band was just 👍👍👍👍👍

Always great here, had a disappointing salmon dish that was very fishy(unlike them) but I'm giving them a pass, everything else was fantastic! Cocktails seem to have gotten better as well

Sooooo good. Milkbuns? Fantastic. Steak tartare? Incredible. Pork Iberico Pluma? Hot damn. Smoked Old Fashioned? I’ll take 10.

Drew, our waiter, was lovely and informative. The right amount of friendly and attentive without ever feeling intrusive.

The atmosphere is beautiful but slightly loud when the band gets going, which is always a risk with live music.

We’ll be back again and again

Such a cool vibe when you enter the building. Great music, but not too loud. The food was AMAZING!! Milk buns ?, wagyu tartare ?, Peruvian scallops ?, tiger prawns ?, yellowtail crudo ?, branzino (life changing)‼️lobster tagliatelle pasta (light flavors, but delicious), Oreo ice cream (unique and the best I've ever had). We also had the olive oil cake that was giving pineapple upside down cake texture and sweetness. We tried the puff pastry and corn elote, but wouldn't do that again. Besides those small hicks everything else was beyond my expectations. Can't wait to bring the fam bam to enjoy as well.

Verse is always a classy restaurant with a hip, current vibe. Food is exceptional for flavor and composition, the atmosphere is like a classic music lounge with a band creating enjoyable samba music which makes you dance in your seat. Wait staff is friendly, professional in all manner and listens to your food allergies and understands them. Overall our favorite place for celebration meals....but anytime is a treat at Verse.

The food was very good. The service took a little longer to arrive but after that was very good. Went home very happy with happy belly and nice experience. The life music is amazing!!! ????

Verse is a lowkey spot from the outside but opens up beautifully as you step in. As our waiter mentioned the place is meant to be an acoustic experience, much like you're in a studio with musicians casually having great food. The ambience is dark and moody, but the food is bright with flavor and high quality ingredients. We got to catch a jazz set followed by a selection of hip hop tracks that elevated the vibe of the experience. The service was on point, and of course the food was excellent.

After waiting 20 minutes past our reservation time, they seated us at what I have to assume was a table added just to maximize seating density/profit. After being bumped by the entire wait staff several times a minute, we made the decision to cut dinner short. The manager did call us after we left the restaurant. We won't be returning.

It was a great experience. The drinks were great. The band was amazing. When they were on break the music was on point. The only slight issues is the waiting area is outside in a sad set up. Once inside the experience good. The service was excellent. I recommend the milk buns and the wine list is also very satisfying.

Love everything about it food music drinks deco ambiance. One ot a kind. I am a food snob. I love great restaurants from Nobu to Mother wolf. Verse is certainly on the top of my list

Great Atmosphere. Somehow even better service. Couldn't think of a better date night spot, or even great for a business dinner. I have my favorites, but trust me- there is nothing bad here

Donna

Nice place. Must try the croquettes! Delicious. Restaurant is beautiful and we were super impressed with the service. The table next to us was extremely loud making it hard to have a conversation but not the restaurants fault. We would come back.

This place never disapoints. The food, service and ambiance were fantastic. I highly recommend this spot and bring clients and friends here. It's one of the best places to go to in LA.
