    Beautiful restaurant with comfortable seating and their wait staff is really nice and very on it. I usually love getting the back story of how a restaurant came to be and the history behind it all and one fun fact I believe it's that La Gondola is the first to offer pastrami egg rolls way back when! Everything ordered was beautifully presented and deliciously prepared! This is a must go for anyone and everyone.

    To go bag, u can't finish it all surely
    Mean Mama S.

    Ordered Nir's special for $39 and it is a huge portion. Don't overfill yourself with dinner breads. Thus pasta will fill 2-3 people not only because it's a generous portion but it has so much marinara sauce , tomatoes pieces and over kill red sauce , surely u stop eating after few bites . Specially if you can feel the heartburn right after looking at it at the first sight. Next time will go with a different option still smaller portion , lesss tomatoes and leads expensive will be a wiser choice. Nothing wrong about the restaurant or the service .

    Chai Steak
    Daniel S.

    This place was excellent. We shared the Chai steak medium well with mashed potatoes and spinach. The service was fantastic and the ambiance is elegant. The guests were all happy and we even saw a wedding proposal.

    Asian Duck Beef Slider BBQ Beef Ribs

    Food was AMAZING Wow their desserts which are parve was amazing as well Kinda pricey but really worth it especially for celebrations Servers always came to check up on us and refilled our drinks they were spot on

    One of my clients enjoys this restaurant - so when he's in town I'm happy to take him. Food last night was good, although quite expensive. Waiter was great - service very good (we arrived at 5:30 PM). One issue which continues is their 'suggested tip' amount on the bill includes the tax in the calculation. Not supposed to do that - but if you go, please do some math - and it'll save you some money.

    Steak & Frits
    Yosmar J.

    Came in with a few co workers and was pretty excited to try something new in Beverly Hills. Ordered the Steak and Frits and I was pretty impressed by the portion of the plate. However, the chimichurri was a bit too dry and I felt like fries didn't go well with the steak. The plate nearly reminded me of Asada Fries. The highlight of lunch was their Avocado Wraps. Delicious delicious delicious. Strongly recommended.

Service: The service was a bit slow, but understandable due to the popularity of this location. Food: The food was top notch and delicious! Unfortunately, this place permanently closed. I hope Salt Bae can sprinkle some love back into reopening.

Started the night with cocktails, and I can say, the Ambrosia is delicious. It has a tequila base with coconut cream and passion fruit. Just very good. The Light My Fire was a nice show as it cooked our and is kit on fire, but the first didn't match that is the Ambrosia. So, with DineLA, we were given bread and butter at the table. The bread was actually more they basic and had a nice flavor to it. For our appetizer, I ordered the steak tartar. On the menu, it had a lot going on with Dijon mustard, chili sauce, shallots, cognac, etc, but I can't say so if there ingredients were noticable in the flavor profile or on the pallet. But paying that on the potato crisps was still a decent bite. The salmon tartar was decent as well but didn't necessarily stand out. The real winner was the meat sushi with avocado cream and parmesan. Totally unexpected and very good! In terms of entrees, we tried a little of everything. I had the wagyu NY steak, cooked medium rare. It was cooked very well on the inside, could have had a better crust on the outside. And they give you your own side of kosher salt so you can "salt bae" it yourself. You also had a choice of side between mashed potatoes and mushrooms. I got the mushrooms and I'm very glad I did. They were very good with 2-3 tired of mushrooms in the medley. The prime NY steak was ok, it didn't really stand out, and the wagyu burger was also decent but, in Los Angeles, with so many great burgers, you really need to step your game up it you want to be noticed, and this burger did not accomplish that. With dessert, there were four options. I choose the San Sebastian Cheesecake, and, for our table, no one really loved it. It is definitely not your standard cheesecake, much less sweet and without that nice graham cracker crust you come to know and love. There was a chocolate sauce on half of it which gave it a little something extra, but it really was not a hit for our table. The pistachio baklava came with a show as the assembled it, but the energy of the show to assemble the baklava was better then the baklava itself. Overall, a nice experience, staff was nice and attentive to our take and our needs, but the food just didn't hit as we all hoped it would.

He also hardly checked in on our table, and we had to ask for drink refills instead of them being offered. At one point, he even spilled food on our table, and overall the service felt inattentive and dismissive. We also had to remind him multiple times that we were celebrating a birthday, which was frustrating considering it was supposed to be a special dinner. For the type of restaurant Dante presents itself as, I expected much better service. Waiting over an hour for our food would have been frustrating on its own, but the lack of communication and the attitude from our waiter made the experience significantly worse. Unfortunately, the service really put a damper on what was supposed to be a birthday celebration.

Over all service very attentive, but menu items are very basic, nothing interesting or innovative and don't garner the hyped up prices. I can afford fancy dinners, but this was subpar. The only real best thing was the truffle fries, But that doesn't make it a 5 star meal. Just saying.

When I approached the restaurant's hostess stand there was nobody there so I just waited patiently for a few moments for someone to come. A young lady entered behind me and walked past the hostess stand carrying a cake and I assumed that she was maybe already inside. But no, she walked past me and grabbed the hostess's attention as she was heading back to the hostess stand. The hostess did help her out even though she came in after me.. And I was still at the hostess stand waiting. It did kind of leave a little bit of a mark in my mind but it didn't ruin the night for me. All of the staff was very helpful and friendly. My food was good for the most part but what we ordered was not worth what I spent. I ordered the Tablita. The meat was seasoned perfectly and delicious. I also prefer a medium well steak. Several pieces of my steak were charred to the point of bitterness around the edges. My biggest issue with the Tablita is the sides are not enough to share. There was about a cup of rice and one cup of beans to split between two people. All of the sides and condiments were basically enough for one person. The grilled onions, the guacamole, the Pico and pickled onions were a great compliment to the meal, but I still don't believe the $145 price tag was worth it. I understand that this is a Mexican style steakhouse, but even at steakhouses shareable meals include shareable sides. We ordered an extra side of the Esquites and honestly, it reminded me more of corn with taco seasoning than actual street corn. Unfortunately, we didn't eat most of the corn. Also, it was my mom's birthday. I put that it was her birthday on the reservation and that was not acknowledged by anyone.. That was a little bit disappointing. Most steakhouses do some sort of a birthday acknowledgment. I can't say that the experience was completely ruined. My mom still enjoyed herself. And it was an opportunity for us to try something new. I would come back again and maybe try happy hour or tacos at the bar. But I 100% certain will never order those same items again. Bonus points for having very delicious chips and salsa and purse hooks at every table at least on the patio.

    Some of the best service I've ever had. Great food, too…read more I went there for an event. They picked a perfect place. It's pretty quiet. There's a TV at the bar, and the bar is also in the main room, but it works. A huge shoutout to our server, Levi. One of the best in the business. He really made this an extra special experience for us. We all had various rolls, and they were all works of art....and yes, they were delicious. I had cheesecake for dessert. Probably the best cheesecake I've ever had. Nice 'n light. Perfect!! There's a social hour, which I'm guessing is another name for happy hour, daily from 5-7 pm with a nice variety of food and drink specials. They have parking on the side of the building. That's a huge plus in that area. Worth checking out.

    If I could give The Red Fish more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! My partner and I dined here in…read morecelebration of our anniversary, and we could not have had a better experience. The hostess was super kind and led us to a table right next to a beautiful olive tree in the main seating area, which made for a very comfortable vibe and a lovely view. Our server, Levi, provided outstanding service throughout the night and was super knowledgeable and attentive. He was honestly the main reason we had such a lovely time, as his energy was great and he was constantly checking in on us and making sure we were satisfied with everything. To drink, we had the Yuzu Whiskey Sour and the Melrose Passionfruit Martini, both of which were refreshing, delicious, and paired well with our food selection. I also had a Raspberry Breeze mocktail, which was sweet, tart, and bubbly! To eat, we started with the Rock Shrimp, which had a great spicy flavor and crunch to it. We also tried the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, which I liked, but I think the price on this item is a little steep, and you might be better off ordering another roll or menu item. For rolls, we ordered the Crunchy, the Tiger, the Lemon, and the Killer. Of these, my favorite had to be the Killer, as it was super fresh and had a great kick to it. Chef Salvador graciously sent over some Bluefin Tuna and Yellowtail nigiri for my partner and me to try, and it was such a thoughtful gesture and delicious treat for us. We were also kindly given a key lime pie to end our meal and celebration on a sweet note. The presentation for everything was lovely, and I really enjoyed the little radish stars! Overall, the fish is among the best and freshest I've had, the drinks are great, and the service is unmatched; I truly felt catered to and cannot wait for my next experience here! Thank you, Levi, Chef Salvador, and everyone at the Red Fish for an unforgettable anniversary dinner!
