    No, I won't be back. You sank my battleship... literally. Overall experience: 2 stars. Food: barely hanging onto 3 stars. Key Points: 1. Wednesday night dinner, 6:00 p.m. to 7:30. This place should have at least 10 tables hustling & bustling. Instead, we were the only two people inside the entire restaurant. 2. Food: they've had the same Chef for 20 years. Where are the regulars, the repeat customers? 3. They just did a remodel, but maybe they should have remodeled the chef too? The building looks depressing, and so was our experience. I think all they did was just slap some new paint on the walls. Battleship gray on the exterior. Seriously? Of all colors to pick, you couldn't have picked something that was bright and alive like a red, orange, something that made you feel warm and cozy? 4. Inside Atmosphere: sterile, white fake marble all around, with blue lights. Add some smoke and a couple cocktail waitresses, and you have a scene from a Hong Kong gambling casino in 1995. 5. Food: Griglia Scampi Siciliano: Presentation was horrible. 5 pieces, laid flat on a plate. If the shrimp was grilled, you couldn't tell because it was drowned in a loose cream sauce. I did like the Spritz of lemon. But can you cut back 90% of the sauce that was on the plate, and let me see the grill marks? Lasagna: a watery grave.. for the battleship? Layered pasta with ricotta, parmigiana and romano cheese. In the menu it described it as meat sauce, and then topped with marinara. What I got was a can of plain tomato sauce with a ton of dried oregano mixed in. There was no tanginess at all, no zip, no garlic, no onion, no punch. And leave the oregano out! Chicken & Shrimp Carbonara: This was the only dish that had taste. BUT, this is no Carbonara, AND too much sauce... again. Overcooked penne pasta in a parmigiana cream sauce, pancetta, bacon and roasted red peppers. Lots of protein in here, they Don't skimp on the chicken or shrimp. Woooo! Finally 1 dish I semi approve of. Pizza Capricciosa: Not fresh at all, terrible. 14"? Nah, it's more like a 12" of pre cooked "pizza," with mozzarella, ham, mushroom, artichoke & olives. It tasted floury. No semolina/cornmeal on the bottom. This is where they could have used some fresh oregano to make the sauce have some flavor. It felt and tasted like overcooked vegetables on top of a prepackaged dough that they just reheated. 5. Parking: dreamy, huge lot, plenty of open spaces... because No One Wants To Be Here? 6. Phone? Good luck getting ahold of anyone. The number goes straight to the hotel answering system. It's a maze of navigation to try to reach the restaurant, probably 10-20 minutes of hold time. Why don't they have a direct line? 7. Why are you closed for lunch? This place is surrounded by a sprawling business district, with tens of thousands of people wanting good food for lunch. Time to change things up!? 8. Notes to Management: Start Over! a. It's so gloomy inside, all the curtains are closed, there's no tables on the small patio outside. The restaurant is on the Topanga side of the hotel. One of the busiest streets in all of Los Angeles. People driving by don't even know that it exists. The sign for the restaurant Blends in with the Battleship Gray color of the whole hotel. CHANGE THE SIGN. Get some sparkly lights out there, and a BIG Bright sign in a catchy color. b. Your interior needs an entire makeover. I feel like I'm walking into a Tomb at the cemetery. Plants? Greenery? MUSIC? It would have been nice if there was some Italian music playing in the background, or some classy contemporary... anything. c. Your food is drowning in itself. Ease up on the sauce, please. A light coating is all you need. AND Teach your chefs about presentation. You could have skewered the shrimp, and then just done one Thin Line of sauce in a zigzag across the top, with maybe a spoonful of sauce on the side of the plate. Will I be back? Not anytime soon. Sorry. Maybe in 6 months I'll make a return and see if there has been some dramatic changes. But I refuse to pay another $100 plus for slop.

    I guess I was expecting too much for a hotel restaurant . The $20 plate price is average. But the food wasn't impressive. You can see from the pictures, the pasta had a lot of sauce. They weren't very busy, so there probably isn't much turn over. Probably not made fresh. My wife didn't like the minestrone, she said it was too salty. Disappointed.

    Met Louise the bartender and was such a sweetheart. Had some drinks and the place was nice. It's very low key which was a plus. We had a good time and though they closed early she made sure not to rush us and still enjoy ourselves. Thank you Louse for the experience.

    Hand stuffed, made to order blue cheese stuffed olives in my very dirty Tito's martini. Come to mama!

    A secret gem hidden in the lobby of the Radisson Hotel. Which on this occasion was a ghost town due to COVID 19. Our tarbender Louise is a pip, great drink maker and cocktail shaker this side of Ventura Highway. We dined at the bar on the night of my arrival, chicken quesadilla and chicken tacos. Uh yum! Night #2 was a party of five for dinner. We were the lone soldiers in the dining area and the service and attention was stellar. The food- divine. Amazing portions, cooked to perfection and priced accordingly. Should you find yourself at the Radisson, a must. Ps. They have a breakfast buffet to die for - so I'm told.

    Food was great, service was really good too. The ambiance is really nice and it was so surprising to walk into the restaurant and it was pretty empty. I highly suggest going here!! Food, service, setting, it's all great. Prices aren't bad either. The restaurant is just hidden. Highly recommend!!

    Best spot around; hidden @ Raddison, this place has some of the best food around! Quiet atmosphere, romantic, never a bad moment. Full bar later in the day, they make the best martinis!

    The place was closed when I tried. It's upgrading to a Doubletree hilton, so I expect this place to become a high quality establishment

The manager (I believe) also checked on us a couple times throughout our dinner and service overall was 5/5. We were seated outside on the patio area and thankfully, there were heaters, as it got chillier than I anticipated at night! We ordered the side wedge, the buffalo wings, the smashburger and a side of truffle fries. The food was fantastic and came out VERY quickly (maybe like 5 minutes)! The side wedge is a perfect starter size and the smashburger was tasty and filling. I didn't love the cherry peppers on the smashburger but that's on me for not asking them to be removed. It was still good overall, just a little spicy. The wings were decent (7/10). The truffle fries were perfectly crispy with a good truffle flavor. The bill was about $40 for two of us (with no beverages). I would definitely come back (eager to try their happy hour).

It's been around for over 20 years and is currently in a newer space than it was before; featuring more parking and a larger space. Ambiance: The interior has a relaxed feel with beachy surfer themed decor. It has a clean modern feel with a bunch of tables featuring accent colored chairs. There is music in the background and a TV on the wall featuring surfing videos. Service: You order at the counter, they ring you up and you get the food brought out. You can see the kitchen as it's open. It was my first time and it was a simple and easy experience. Everything came out in a timely fashion. Food: Some of their specialities include the 20+variations of fried empanadas (meats, chicken, pork, veggie, dessert) that come in both savory and sweet types, as well as their speciality plates such as their Korean-style flat iron steak skewers and chicken satay. The sauces they serve with their empanadas are incredible and some of the best I've ever had such as their chimmi-churri, basil-aioli and sweet & sour Thai. I recently did the lunch combo featuring a choice of a 1/2 salad or 1/2 fries, choice of any two empanadas and a canned drink. I chose beef and Kailua pig empanadas; both were great, empanadas didn't break apart and were crispy, everything was seasoned well; the filling of the beef was a bit more than the Kailua pig however. Drinks: They have various drinks such as lemonade, juices, sodas/soft drinks, and some beers on tap. Parking: The lot is large and has ample parking depending on the day and time. Prices: Prices are to the times that we're in...so not too great. Ala carte empanadas are $5+ but as you order more (4, 12) the prices come down a slight bit.
