“We had dinner reservations at 7:45. On a Friday night. We were sat immediately but at the most inhospitable table in the restaurant. They should be ashamed of themselves to put a table inline of the waitstaff that literally went past us the entire time. I've never been sat at such a terrible table in my life. Normally I would have just said I'd wait for another table but my daughter was really hungry. In addition to that, they were incessantly grabbing plates off our table when I was still literally eating my food. I had to stop them several times. And then they came with the machine in hand to ask if I wanted anything g else and then proceeded to give me the bill. I didn't ask for the bill but they decided when I needed to get it. Mind you, there were no more people waiting for tables so the rush to move us off of our table was unfounded. Every table around us were still sitting and enjoying each others company except for us. I am more than livid at the waitstaff's pushiness and they need to be trained better.“

“Absolutely love this place. Staff is so friendly and attentive, as well as the managers. Sat at the bar and was served by Emma, Julian, and Adam. They were so fun, lots of laughs, and knowledgeable about the menu. Emma actually remembered my drink order from a previous visit, which was super sweet and surprising. I was also greeted by a manager, Tom, who was very friendly as well. The food, 11/10. I live for the tempura vegetables, tuna handroll, the island rock cod. The filet mignon is the most tender, tastiest filet you'll ever have. Trendy place, the ambiance is just as great as the food and service. Highly recommend for a nice bite before a flight out of LAX or a night out with friends. No notes.“
