I had many questions, and both he and his team addressed every single one with patience, care, and attention to detail. It's clear that Dave was born to host events!

The location is fantastic, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the drinks and food were outstanding. Thank you so much. We will absolutely recommend Prank and keep it on our radar for future events in LA.

We sat at the booths but had the choice to sit outside. The ambiance was great, slightly dark and industrial with some lighting, and noisy enough to have a conversation and not be distracted. When we got our food it came out good. I had the French dip sandwich with side salad. My friend had the salmon plate with Yuka fries appetizer. We had a nice time because another friend joined the party and they let us gather for a good while since it wasn't all that busy.

We walked-in on a weekday brunch but def recommend making a reservation to make sure things are smooth. FOOD Look, a lot of hotels gave up on their food (especially for the ones who know their place is aesthetic). Cara Cara didn't give up on their food taste and quality, it's a vibey brunch spot for sure. I love the wide variety of selections on the menu, there are plenty of options. Short Rib Barbacoa Tacos (4/5): Decent, quite yummy. Comes with 2 tacos originally. I add extra 3rd one as server were asking, thought I may as well add it. Meat is quite tender and soft, not bad, would have asked for hot sauce to make it better. Porcini-Rubbed Steak (4.2/5): Not bad! Had it in medium rare, quite tender (didn't expect it to be tender as most hotel over cook their steaks). Comes with chimichurri sauce, nice. SERVICE Queenie is the best!! She is friendly, attentive and knows around the menu. Delivers up to standard hospitality, no pretentious attitude from receptionist either- nice! I hope they maintain their service quality. AMBIENCE I personally prefer the view in here over the Perch rooftop, it's not as spacious as Perch's rooftop, but the interior and decor are better- in my opinion. Curious to come back at night time for a cocktail or two with the view in DTLA! OVERALL I give this place a 5 star not because it's just a very nice place to sit down nicely- have a brunch or some drinks and admire the view. Both of the brunch spots in Beverly Hills Hotel are gonna cost 2x what you pay in here and you still get no city view, and also food quality and service sucks there. Food here is not disappointing at all, it's definitely not one of those "food is disgusting, views are all they got"-kinda place. Their food is delicious, we didn't hesitate to clear up our plates. Worth visiting at least once, if you don't like the food, get a picture and you will still be happy! Definitely coming back to check out the views at night over a cocktail or dinner.

Now when you pull up originally you might think, "am I in the right place" but once you park and get into the courtyard, it is LOVELY! Amazing ambience! There is a bocce set up, string lights. It is a little slice of oasis in the middle of the fashion district. The restaurant itself - beautiful. I couldn't ask for more. Absolutely perfect in my book. Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried. Unfortunately my friends had gone to Funke the night before so they were comparing the squash blossoms and Funke won out, but they still liked Dama's! Small plates were enough for the 3 of us. The service was quick and attentive. Parking was easy for us. I will definitely be back!

We were able to get a seat on the coach and order drinks from the bar relatively quickly. Prices were pretty typical of LA ($18-25 a cocktail) but I would say I probably won't come back this late as it's in a shadier part of town. They have a bouncer and it was fine inside, but it's not a place where you can bar hop if that's what you're looking for as the area is seedy. Would be interested to try the food next time, but again, the safety and comfort of the light of day.

NOVEMBER 26.2025…read more I've been through many iterations of The Library Bar over the years... from small and cozy secret bar for those that work in the looming skyscrapers of Downtown LA to being some noisy urban hip hop affair that served godawful drinks (see my past review!), and on back to being a calm and casual neighborhood bar again. The interior never changes... dark... illuminated by candlelight... the bust of Shakespeare over the fireplace, the shelves of old books-- all of it remains intact. But this latest Library Bar seems to have finally dialed in what was always sorely missing in that it showcases a conscientious staff that all seem to know how to mix drinks while treating the customer well by leaving them be. On one night my date and I share a "Black Manhattan," basically a Manhattan with the generous addition of Averna, and it's terrific. On another night, I go for Happy Hour and a few pints of Guinness on draft that are surprisingly proper and go well with their excellent and, I'm told, homemade Hummus & Veggies Plate. The music at this current Library Bar is pretty much on point and is never so loud as to interfere with the conversations that patrons seem to come here for... something you should come here for too, and maybe at Happy Hour specifically if you're looking for a nice bump in your day and to spend an hour, well, happily.

Thus, this review is long overdue, but is still a work in progress as I'll have to reacquaint myself with their other menus. Making an impromptu visit here for dessert/coffee on Mother's Day reminded me why BL needs a review. Cuisine: 4/5. Solid. Again, I need to reacquaint myself with their other menus. That said, even without a reservation, it's worth it to stop in to sample their beautiful selection of patisserie and have a good coffee and/or a digestif. Beverages: 4/5. Blood Orange Negroni was definitely enjoyable. No complaints. Service: 4/5. Staff is friendly and unpretentious. Say less. Ambiance: 5/5. One of the few places I've been to in L.A. that reminds me of a Parisian brasserie/patisserie. Lively, but much classier than large chain restaurants. It's aesthetically enjoyable with a bright decor--a must check-out for the city. Been provecho.

We started with the Housemade Buttermilk Ricotta and wow... absolutely fantastic. Super smooth, rich, perfectly balanced, and packed with flavor. The kind of starter you immediately wish you ordered more of. Next was the Herb Caesar Salad, another huge hit. Fresh, crisp, and that dressing was phenomenal. Light but still incredibly flavorful. We actually saved some of the dressing and dipped our pizza into it later... highly recommend doing that because it paired perfectly. For mains, we shared the Cavatelli alla Norcina and the Margherita pizza. The cavatelli was honestly one of the best pasta dishes I've had in a long time. Something I'd never tried before and now I'll probably order every time I come back. Rich, comforting, and insanely flavorful without feeling too heavy. The Margherita pizza was also perfect, great crust, fresh ingredients, balanced sauce, and just done right. To finish, we had the Bar au Chocolat Bittersweet Chocolate Budino Tart and somehow they still didn't miss. Absolute knockout dessert. Rich, decadent, silky, and the perfect ending to the meal. The energy, service, food quality, and attention to detail here are on another level. You can tell why this place has the reputation it does. Already looking forward to coming back.
