The food was really good, and I loved how many vegan and plant-based options they had without the menu feeling limited at all. Everything felt fresh and thoughtfully made. Honestly, I'd recommend this place just for the vibe alone, but it's also nice being able to order anything on the menu knowing it's fully vegan. Definitely recommend trying the beet salad too, it was one of my favorite things we ordered.

They do have a few seats to sit and eat if you want it super fresh & crispy.

My boyfriend and I celebrated Valentine's Day at Lala's on Melrose last night (Tuesday evening),…read moreand it was such a great experience from start to finish. First of all, our server was wonderful -- incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. He gave thoughtful recommendations and explained the specials so well that we were immediately tempted. Now, I'll preface this by saying I'm half Argentinian -- so I'm very picky when it comes to Argentine food, especially chimichurri. I'm usually pretty critical. But Lala's absolutely delivered. The chimichurri was delicious -- bright, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Paired with the fresh, warm table bread? So good. Even though I normally can't resist empanadas, we followed our server's recommendation and started with the morcilla (blood sausage). It was incredible -- rich, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. For my entrée, I ordered the Fresh Spinach Pappardelle and took our server's suggestion to pair it with pesto sauce. As someone who loves pesto (and finds it surprisingly hard to get right in Southern California), I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. It was fresh, vibrant, and satisfying without being heavy. My boyfriend ordered the Lomo (center-cut filet mignon). He's a sous chef at his own restaurant, so he's extremely critical when dining out -- and he had nothing but amazing things to say. That says a lot. The food quality was superb, the service was attentive without being overbearing, and the overall vibe was perfect for a Valentine's dinner. We'll absolutely be back -- and next time, I'm bringing my best friend (also half Argentinian) for her approval.

My friend and I were a bit boozed out from the night before, so we stuck with a handful of sharable platters including California rolls and ceviche, all tasted amazing. Nothing was too heavy and the portions were all manageable, not too small or too large. The outdoor seats were very cushy and comfortable, it's perfect for sitting with your fur baby, and the restaurant provided water bowls upon request as well. Servers were all really friendly and the food did not take long to come out, though it wasn't too busy that Sunday afternoon around 3pm. Would definitely come back here to try the cocktails with other fusion bites next time we're in the area!

We ordered rolls, salads, ceviche, and pasta, but everything was just okay--nothing memorable. We had to ask for wasabi and ginger three times, and the server seemed confused. Service overall was friendly but very slow, and the restaurant wasn't even full. The pasta was a miss, and the "salad" wasn't really a salad. Drinks were the highlight--great martinis and well-made cocktails. That said, our bill was over $600, and none of us left full. Portions are tiny. Go for drinks and ambiance, but I'd skip the food.

They're always so consistent across each location and really solid, authentic, upscale mexican food!

The ambience was absolutely beautiful, which is always the case with this restaurant and our server was absolutely fabulous. Where everything went South was with the food itself. I ordered the Vegan enchiladas and they came out cold. I did not return them because I have a certain unspoken rule about not returning food once it's brought out to me. Also, the chips were not light and airy like I'm used to at the other locations. The chips at this location seemed to have more of a deep corn flavor instead of being lighter in flavor and texture. Overall, it was an OK experience. However, I think I will just stick with my usual location back in Irvine.

It's perfect for groups, the menu is designed for sharing, so you can try a little bit of everything. My parents are vegetarian, and I love that they offer a dedicated vegetarian/vegan menu. We ordered a mix from both menus so everyone was happy, and the kitchen accommodated us beautifully. Some standouts for me: the kampachi ceviche (fresh and bright), the causita crocante (so satisfying), the seafood chaufa paella (packed with flavor), the grilled octopus (perfectly tender), and the camarones (SO good). The cocktails here are fantastic -- balanced, creative, and just fun to drink. I've had the Chicha Gin Fizz both as a cocktail and as a mocktail (equally delicious!) and the Quita Calzón was another hit. I also appreciate that they offer great mocktail options for non-drinkers. The ambiance is gorgeous, intimate yet lively, with a stunning indoor courtyard that feels like you've stepped into a hidden oasis. It's as picturesque as it is comfortable, making it a perfect setting for a celebratory meal or just a night out with people you love.

First walking in its such a gorgeous restaurants, so much natural lighting and lushious greens.Such a vibe! Perfect place to take lots of cute pictures in. About the food, we ordered the seafood paella,it was 3/5 for me. The flavor was very delicate for me,i was wanting more boldness. Next the campachi ceviche, 3/5. Pretty Delicious. Next, we got the beet salad, I've dont think I've had anything like this before. It comes with burrata cheese and a citrus dressing, i quite liked it 4/5. We also ordered the scallops, which was smaller than anticipated but delicious 3/5. The other person i went with got got the ribs, I'm not a ribs fan so I can't speak on the taste but they looked good. Overall service was also good they were attentive. I enjoyed my time at rosaline but I'm personally someone who loves bold intense flavors but overall I'm glad I checked it out.

Every item, from the moment we were greeted by the hostess, to our last bite of dessert, our experience was absolutely stellar. Our waiter was so comfortable, patient and knowledgable about the entire menu. He had recommendations but was not pushy or salesman like. He seemed to genuinely love what they offered. My wife enjoyed the excellent Alto Negroni while I blissed out to the Jardin de Altura (Tequila Altos, Fig Leaves, Cointreau, Magnolia Nectar & corn salt rim, herb oil floating in drops on the top). This drink was delicate and nuanced and utterly devine! The Chipa (cheese bread) and Criollo (layered wafer bread with herb butter) let us know that we were going to really enjoy everything. We had the OG empanada, Burnt Avocado Salad for starters and the Pork Txuleta, Special Black Cod and Cordero Patagonia (Lamb Saddle) for entree's. Finished with Chocolate Sabayon and a Pistachio special dessert that was just wonderful. I appreciate that they are really aiming to represent South America with their wine list. Even though I don't personally enjoy them, they were interesting to try. Awesome experience, I will definitely be back soon. DOn't miss this place, it's also a great date spot. Good lighting, stylish interior, really unique and purposeful style throughout. And the staff was warm and professional all the way through the restaurant.

Came in for a quick bite to eat before a show down the street at the Troubadour. Everything was great. Staff was friendly and helpful, the food was made promptly and brought out to us. It was towards the end of our meal that things got interesting as I had asked for hot sauce for my taco sampler The server mentioned some super spicy taco they had. Now I can handle extreme heat (I could do Hot Ones no problem) and more often than not I'm let down by what most places consider spicy. Not this time however I knew it was gonna be good when the staff from the kitchen started to check me out after it was ordered. They were being sly but by the end of the taco I feel as if I had earned their respect, I'd give it a 7 on my heat scale - it was hot and also delicious. A great experience all around - thank you Guisados

A small restaurant located inside this plaza in Beverly Hills that you would never know about unless someone told you. Every time I've been, the waiters, service and management have been so nice and come check on you constantly. There are several sections in the restaurant (I think 3 but I could be wrong), but we've dined in the main room which has a retractable ceiling for when it's too sunny out, they have a bar area that has a small little lounge section in the back of it, and it looks like there may be another section that I haven't been to. The place definitely gives off those Latin vibes and you feel it once you arrive. As for the food, my boss ordered appetizers for the table, which were shrimp tacos, flautas, and empanadas which were all very good! My favorite were the flautas with guac. For my main dish I went with the Chilean sea bass with a side of broccolini and rice. That sea bass was phenomenal! It had a nice sweet glaze on it with a very slit crisp texture on the top. One of the best! The Hideaway goes down as one of my favorite spots in Beverly Hills and I highly recommend checking it out. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros
