    crem brûlée
    Najeya K.

    CAME FOR DESSERT ONLY!! I looooooved the dessert menu! We literally had to order 3 of the pizookies because it's THAT yummy. The sticky date pudding wasn't my favorite because it's not too sweet but a lot of other people in my party loved it. The crem brûlée was soooooooo good!!!! The hard caramel shell tasted perfectly sweet & the custard below it was phenomenal! It comes topped with fresh fruit that were ripe and ready for your taste buds YUM. The ambiance in the outdoor patio literally MADE the night. It's so romantic with all the lit up trees. Definitely a spot for the younger crowd & couples. Our waiter was so attentive & fun! He made jokes with us & was pleasant overall.

    The Gangster
    Evan W.

    First time at Laurel hardware, and we had a mixed response. The decor is appropriately industrial, but with kicked-up touches that make it feel more upscale, more comfortable. The deep woods and dark metal furnishings inside contrast nicely with the ceiling-high windows leading to the outdoor patio. It's a welcoming space, and the staff was equally charming, friendly and focused on making sure we had what we needed. Our server, Allison, offered personal suggestions re the menu, and explained anything that was unclear. Drinks were promptly brought by the bartender, who also made sure we were satisfied before leaving us to our cocktails. My wife's drink, The Gangster, was a sweet and tart blend of cucumber vodka, watermelon juice and lime: refreshing and light, without too much of an alcohol kick. I opted for an Asahi beer, offered on tap and served in a frosty cold glass. It was also refreshing, and paired well with a dram of Toki whiskey. Food was where things stalled for my wife, who ordered the Crispy Rice Salad. Unlike a true salad of crispy rice that you'd get at a Thai restaurant, where crispy rice is the main ingredient, this was really an Asian chicken salad with crispy rice used as a garnish instead of the usual wonton noodles. The ample portion of shaved veggies and pulled chicken (fresh and good quality) was appreciated, but the dressing was far too mild, even when bolstered by an order of extra dressing; the large serving of salad wound up lacking pizzazz and being a disappointment. On the other hand, I really enjoyed my order of Duck Fried Rice, which was packed with flavor and a good degree of spice. The duck itself was tender and tasty, the rice a nice blend of soft and crispy, the included veggies retained crunch through the cooking, and the fried egg on top added just the right extra pop of flavor and creaminess. It was the far better dish, and I would happily order it again. So, it wasn't a perfect meal, but there were definitely some successes, and as I said, the staff couldn't have been nicer. I would go back and try other options, and would even try the salad again if they promise to tweak the dressing.

    This place is gorgeous! The restaurant has a beautiful design both indoor and outdoor. So much seating and a great happy hour selection. Favorite thing we ordered were the Lollipop sprouts. Never underestimate vegetables to be the yummiest part of the meal :) Frozen lavender cocktail was refreshing, pizza was perfect, ribs were melt-in-your-mouth, and shrimp tacos made a great appetizer. Service was attentive and so friendly!

    This place is really cute! The ambiance is very picture worthy no matter if you're sitting inside or outside. We had a big group reservation and the staff were super friendly, took great care of us. It was our friends birthday and they even refrigerated the cake and made the whole thing special! Staff was very attentive so i loved that. I got the 6oz steak and it was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Also definitely recommended the hamachi crudo, perfectly spicy and flavored. For drinks, I got the gangster, so refreshing if you're looking for something simple. The only issue I had was with the bathrooms, there were only 3 single stalls for both genders so there was always a line and it overflowed into the seating guest area. Awkward placement for it too. Come here if you're looking for cute pics and good food!

    Right when you walk in it's a very moody spot. There's a bar right there if you're waiting for your party to arrive - because they won't seat you until everyone is there. I got to eat outside and it was so beautiful! We were right under a gorgeous lit tree. I ordered a mocktail that I think had gang in the name? It was so tasty! Highly recommend. Then my friend and I split the short rib pappardelle and the crispy rice salad. The salad was so fresh and had amazing crunch. The pasta...omg. It was delicious, and I could have eaten another bowl. For dessert we got the bread pudding, and I'm not usually a bread pudding fan because of the texture, however this one was perfect! Crisp on the outside and warm and soft inside. The only thing I wish were different is that it's so loud outside. We were a party of 5 and I felt like I was screaming across the table to talk. Probably better if you have a smaller party though! Overall, I'm excited to return and try a cocktail!

    I recently saw one of my old social media posts and photos pop up as a "memory from today." It was from when I went to Laurel Hardware on Saturday evening, March 23rd, 2019. It's been quite a long time, but I still remember the place having a great atmosphere, delicious food, and very friendly service. I usually don't drink alcohol, but I also remember posting the caption, "Tonight's forecast: 99% chance of wine & cocktail," on my social media at the time. I remember all the food was really good, but especially the Truffle Fries -- they were absolutely delicious.

    Came a weekday night. Place was busy, but not full. It was hard to get a seat at the bar area. We had to flag the bartender down. The patio area was really nice with the lighted trees. Was told the food was pricy but good. Would return just to sit at the patio area. Really nice decor.

    Absolutely adore this place. Not only is the ambience incredible but the food is too. The short rib pappardelle is what I come back for. 10 Star dish!!!!

    The drink I ordered was literally so good. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of it, but it had mezcal along with some spice to it and some lemon. Gimme 14 of em. Hamachi crudo and spicy salmon tartare - I would've ordered another round of these if in another world I could never get full. So flavorful and just what I was looking for taste wise. My friend ordered the marinated skirt steak and said it melted in his mouth and the sauce was phenomenal. My other friend ordered the burger and said it was juicy and filling. To add, I ordered the rigatoni bolognese and the pasta itself was cooked to perfection. Only request was a bit more seasoning on the red sauce! We were all super pleased with our dinner experience. (Side note I would've gotten a picture of the burger if my friend didn't demolish it in 2 minutes)

    I tried multiple dishes at Laurel Hardware, and some of my favorites were the Shrimp Scampi, Duck Fried Rice, Spicy Vodka Rigatoni, and Little Gem Caesar. The quality of the food is amazing, but I just wish the portions were a little larger considering the prices for them. Also, the outdoor seating at night is beautiful. Great lighting and such a nice and cool ambiance. Service was also very good, and the staff was super kind and helpful. Street parking can be difficult, but if you park on Crescent Heights Blvd., there's usually free street parking.

    My friend and I were celebrating Pride this weekend and wanted to stop somewhere for drinks. The first bar we walked into was pretty busy, so we decided to head over to Laurel Hardware--and it ended up being the best decision. The space has an amazing vibe: trendy without feeling pretentious, with a beautiful patio that's perfect for people-watching and catching up with friends. The ambiance is gorgeous, very clean, and the outdoor area is beautifully lit, making it feel like the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. A huge shoutout to Jeff and Josh behind the bar. They were attentive, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about both the drink menu and the food offerings. They made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down, and the conversation was so enjoyable that we ended up staying longer than we planned. We didn't order food this time, but every dish that passed by our table looked phenomenal. Based on what we saw, we'll definitely be coming back to try the food. Overall, a fantastic experience with great service, great drinks, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay all night. Can't wait to return!

    Chicken wings
    Sam E.

    I had a great dinner at Laurel Hardware. It's definitely a very young and lively crowd, which you can feel from the moment you enter. And they have a beautiful outdoor patio that is very spacious and well-lit. The whole restaurant is dimly lit which adds a nice flare to the experience. I loved all the food. I think it's best to order tapas style and share with the table. We started with their crispy shrimp which came with shishito peppers and a spicy aioli. Loved how crisp those shrimp were. The chicken wings were surprisingly good, also extra crispy and loaded with Parmesan cheese. The marinated skirt steak with chimichurri sauce was perfectly cooked and juicy throughout. My only feedback was that I wanted more, I could've eaten 2 plates of that steak by myself! The crispy rice salad came with chicken and an Asian-style vinaigrette, it was so refreshing! The mushroom and squash pizzas were both great - crispy, thin crust pizzas with plenty of cheese and fresh toppings. Burger was super juicy and the fries were nice and crisp. Even the chicken shawarma plate was delicious - chicken was super juicy and I really enjoyed their fresh tzatziki sauce. My biggest feedback was the service. It was just so busy that it was hard to grab our waitress and there were a few times we had to remind her about our drinks or flag her down to order more. I know that they were super busy, so I'm sure this has much to do with it. But once we did get our waitresses' attention, she was super helpful and responsive. I'm excited to return to Laurel Hardware, it's such a great and trendy restaurant in West Hollywood!

    Beautiful ambience with incredibly thoughtful menu and delicious cocktails. I enjoyed the lavender margarita frozen and for the table we ordered two types of salad. We both enjoyed The mushroom ravioli as a starter dish then two large plates for our entrées. Great service, quick, PACKED but no wait since we had a reservation. Definitely worth it !

    Valet parking available for lunch hours?

    nope

    How much is valet parking?

    $15

    Are kids welcome?

    Yes, just not at the bar. However, it's a pretty adult crowd so if your kids are sensitive to adult conversations then it's something to keep in mind. Typically the families with kids we see are there on the weekends during the day up until the… 

    Are you open for reservations only? Or is walk-in allowed?

    Walk-ins will be tough as it's a popular venue. I'd recommend checking OpenTable and grabbing a time slot... otherwise if you're lucky it'll be bar seating, if unlucky you'll be turned away.

    Do they have a corkage fee?

    My recollection is $25. Which is a lot. I'm not sure but I seem to recall that.

    Do you need a reservation to drink at the bar?

    No you don't! But there could potentially not be any seats in which case you'll be standing!

    Is there a dress code here?

    No. It's nice enough to dress up but if you want to come casual that'll work too

    Is their brunch menu the same as dinner? I can't find the lunch/ brunch menu anywhere

    Their lunch menu is on open table. No brunch menu or brunch offerings yet.

    Does anyone know if they require proof of vaccination if it's still outdoor dining?

    Yes they do. I found out last night and you have to show your card.

    Do they have valet parking?

    Yeah, its on the pricier side tho. Its 11 dollars

    Is the bar still open for lounging? Or is a table required?

    I didn't see anyone at the bar but I went months ago, certainly they have bar seating by now. GL

    Are there stairs? Is the whole place wheelchair accessible?

    There are stairs leading to the outside area in the back, but seating inside is wheelchair accessible.

    Is there anything vegan or can be made vegan on the menu?

    Yes. They have a spaghetti dish that's actually quite tasty.

The service here is excellent and everything ran smoothly with zero issues. The bread and butter here is excellent while waiting for your meal. I had the beef stroganoff, which is a comfort dish for me. It's hearty and delicious so I couldn't wait to try this dish. I was certainly surprised because I was not expecting it to be incredibly flavorful. It was so good I couldn't stop eating it. Highly recommended! We ended our meal with the devil's advocate flourless chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream, which was delicious for being flourless. What a perfect way to end a tasty meal. My only complaint is the parking because we didn't know where we could park. We ended up getting a ticket because we thought we could park nearby. Definitely recommend asking where to park to avoid a ticket. Overall, we very much enjoyed our dining experience and will certainly be back to try other menu items.

    Overall, I'd give 3.5 stars. Granville is a chain restaurant, similar to the likes of Olive garden,…read moreChilies, etc, but probably a tad more upscale in terms of the overall decor and vibe. Service was fine, but nothing special. We were greeted, seated and the waitress took our orders. Once the food arrived, our waitress barely came by again except towards the end to drop off our check. Other staff did come by to clear our empty plates from the table, so that was nice. We did notice that they only provided 1 serving spoon for all of our dishes. Would've liked a serving utensil with each dish to minimize cross-contamination and mixing of flavors. Throughout our dining, there were flies and small bugs flying around, which was off-putting and annoying as we had to keep swatting them away from landing on our food. 1. Farmhouse Beet Salad (5/5) It's a good thing this was the 1st dish to arrive at our table as it left a good 1st impression. The roasted organic beets were fresh and had that earthy-tone to it. Dressed with their lemon-oregano vinaigrette, feta, arugula, and candied pecans. OMG, those candied pecans were heavenly. It's crunchy and toasted to perfection. the candied flavor of it was addictingly delicious. If they have a menu item of candied pecans, I'll order it any day. 2. Trio Taco (2.5/5) You can choose between chicken, steak, shrimp, plant-based chicken, or jackfruit. We opted for steak. The steak was fine, but for BBQ sauce used was just a dish killer. They need to rethink the choice of sauce used in these tacos. Also, not a fan of corn tortilla. Wish they gave a choice between corn and flour tortilla. 3. Artisan Bread & Butter (5/5) Their sourdough bread sliced, grilled and brushed generously with garlic olive oil. Severed with a side of whipped duckfat butter. I've never had duck fat butter before, so this was a pleasant experience to try. Not to worry, there's no duck flavor at all. It's almost like cream cheese but lighter and airer. 4. Ahi Filet (1.5/5) Sesame-crusted ahi with a side wasabi aioli. The ahi was so-so; definitely, not the freshest and there's no "melt-in-your mouth" joy. The wasabi aioli sauce was good though. There is a subtle spice kick from the wasabi. It's served with a side of soba noodles that was gingery and peanuty in flavor. Unfortunately, the noodles were overcooked as they stuck to each other in clumps. 5. Bacon & Blue Burger (4.5/5) Quite a satisfying burger consisting of wagyu beef, duroc bacon, aged blue cheese, caramelized onions, and arugula. It's juicy, meaty, slightly tangy from the horseradish aioli and sweet from the port wine reduction. The brioche bun was pleasantly soft. 6. Thai Ginger Salad (3/5) This salad consists of romaine lettuce as the base. It is dressed with Thai sesame dressing, which was underwhelming. The toppings for this salad include fresh mango cubes, slaw, slices of avocado, fresh peanut bits, tomato and soba noodles. It's not a bad salad, but for the price, I do not think it is worth it. 7. Superfood Longevity Salad (4/5) A salad consisting of mixed greens (lacinato kale and spring mix) with a variety of rich, nutritious toppings (organic beets, quinoa, pomegranate, radish, blueberries, almonds, dried Bing cherries, and pepitas). The dressing is a sherry vinaigrette that's tangy, creamy and light. All the ingredients came together well. If you are looking for a hearty salad, this is for you. 8. Hibiscus Rosé (4/5) Sparkling rosé with hibiscus flavor infused with grapefruit skin to give it a bit of citrus note and topped off with a micro flower to add a special touch of decor to the drink. In summary, the food looks better than it actually tastes. Come here if you want to eat out with a large party for celebration, but otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it for a special night out as the price does not justify the experience.

    Darling was on my list to try ever since I read about it on Eater. It eventually became one of 2…read morerestaurants that were the focus of my recent staycation in the West Hollywood/Beverly Grove area, the other was perennial favourite A.O.C. I was familiar with chef/owner (and James Beard Award winner) Sean Brock, having dined at two of his Husk restaurants (Charleston and Nashville), where he first gained fame and accolades. He is no longer affiliated with Husk or some other Nashville restaurants, but still has a pizza place there, so he is still bi-coastal. I can't say what drew him to SoCal, but is clearly enamored of our bountiful produce and purveyors, which he integrates into his "Heritage Southern", often live-fire, cooking. He's apparently quite a music lover also, hence the live DJ all-vinyl booth in the bar/lounge. Darling is on the northern end of Robertson between Melrose and Sunset. Many restaurants of note are nearby, including The Abbey, Craig's, SushiSamba. Many, including Darling, do not have valet parking, so that can be an endeavor you should allow time for. Darling is a pretty large, gorgeous and airy space, divided into an open-air-ish lounge/bar and a dining room towards the rear, which in turn is divided into 2 sections. The space used be the restaurant Soulmate, and looking at old pics still up on Yelp, it is clear many of the design features were repurposed for Darling, including the beautiful wood-beamed ceiling and booths in the dining room, the olive tree and retractable roof in the lounge, and the exterior. The impressive mural in the dining room appears new, as is the DJ booth. The weather was in the 90's during my visits, so the more A/C-controlled dining room was my choice for seating. Darling serves dinner Wed-Sat and brunch Sundays, so of course I had to try both. There's also a small Happy Hour menu Wed-Sat in the lounge/bar. Here's the lowdown: Dinner 1) Deviled eggs. A classic Southern snack, bougied up with bluefin tuna belly. Delish, with a slight kick, but just 2 per order. 2) Abalone and rice stew. Another winner (and smallish portion). Earthy, yet light, topped with a confit egg yolk. 3) The Darling dry-aged steak burger. Just 24 served per day. The stellar meat is a blend of 3 types of beef, mostly dry-aged prime, cooked over the live-fire grill. It was served simply with ketchup, cheese, raw onion and Dijonnaise , allowing the beef to shine. Served without accompaniments. 4) Sliced tomatoes with buttermilk dressing and tomato vine vinegar. A simple and refreshing taste of summer. 5) Blackberry sorbet Eton mess. Delish sorbet that was the perfect blend of sweet and tart. Eton mess is whipped cream and meringue shards. The Texas deer skewers and Anson Mills cornbread were also of interest to me; another time. Brunch 1) Sonora wheat pancakes. Pretty classic, with crispy edges, fancy Maison Bordier butter and maple syrup. 2) 5-fat fried chicken. Also available on the Happy Hour menu. I was told the chicken was heavily spiced, but not heat-spicy. Its red-orange hue made me pause with fear, but it was exactly as described. The seasoning is quite chili powder-forward (Ancho chili?). The chicken is boneless thigh meat (my fave chicken part), just like the Spanish fried chicken at A.O.C. Served with a vinegary hot sauce (didn't use), honey (used it all) and an assortment of pickles. The 5 fats used are chicken fat, lard, country ham, bacon fat and smoked butter. Quite different from A.O.C.'s version; apples and oranges. Try them both. 3) Watermelon sorbet with Bonny melon and lemon verbena. Another sorbet winner, even more refreshing with the melon. Their cocktail and wine offerings seem pretty extensive. My zero-proof pineapple concoction was fine and delish; I had it at both meals. Service and staff was excellent and oh so friendly--hostess, servers, busboys, manager. I wish I remembered the names of my servers for shout-outs; their names didn't appear on my checks. Speaking of checks, you have the option of paying via QR code or with a traditional paper check and table-side hand-held gizmo. I did both and recommend the traditional method to avoid the $3.99 "Platform Fee" for using the QR code. Lastly, I found the music pleasant and mostly retro (the DJ usually puts the album currently spinning on display), but very loud. Guests were yelling in order to converse. Hope to return, and maybe see Chef Sean DJ-ing.

    We came here on a suggestion from a friend who is a fan of Sean Brock. The setup is really cool -…read morethe front half of the restaurant is a lounge/bar area with a partially open air roof that gives way to a tree growing in the middle of the lounge. The back half is a more traditional seating area with booths and beautiful murals. The restaurant has an interesting and creative cocktail list that was difficult to choose from. We tried the Paradis and Marigny No. 2. I preferred the Paradis - it was reminiscent of a tropical tiki drink. The Marigny No. 2 was also nice, floral, and refreshing, but strong. Our waitress recommended 2-3 dishes per person, so we opted for the deviled eggs (snack), cornbread (app), dry-aged steak burger (main), and rockfish with clams and grits (main). The deviled eggs and rockfish were my favorite. The eggs had a really rich flavor, and the tuna added a unique twist on an otherwise familiar dish. The rockfish had a perfectly spicy, buttery sauce, and the grits were the perfect accompaniment. I wasn't a fan of the cornbread; the predominant taste was of being burned, and the bread was flat and dense, rather than being fluffy. The tomato jam was definitely the surprisingly sweet star of that dish. Without the jam, the cornbread isn't very pleasant to eat. I also thought the burger was just ok, nothing standout, but solid. They only make 24 burgers a night, so ask your server if they're still available if that's what you're ordering. For dessert, we ordered the profiteroles with brown butter ice cream, pecan sauce, and dates. It was a perfect ending to the night - the dessert was super rich and decadent. Parking is limited to metered street parking or nearby parking lots. Service is warm and friendly without being overbearing, but can take a while. Overall, the experience was pleasant with some hits and some misses. The menu is certainly unique and overall worth trying if you're feeling a bit adventurous.

I highly recommend timing your visit around sunset to fully enjoy the charming string lights and romantic ambiance they create. Unfortunately, a bug bit me while I was sitting at our picnic table, so next time I'll probably opt for indoor seating. I was craving a high-quality pizza, and this place absolutely hit the spot. I ordered the mushroom pizza, and it did not disappoint. I also tried the house radicchio salad, but it wasn't my favorite. The mix of herbs and greens came across as overly bitter, and I couldn't finish it. One thing to note: I requested tap water when placing our order but later noticed I had been charged for their bottled still water. After bringing it to their attention, they promptly removed the charge. Be sure to double-check your receipt. I'm happy with how quickly they fixed the mistake tho! Unfortunately, they don't offer mocktails, so I ordered an Arnold Palmer instead. It was a bit bland and lacked balance. My friend tried one of the aguas frescas and wasn't particularly impressed either. Would love to see a curated mocktail list on their menu soon! Despite those minor issues, I'd definitely return. I'm looking forward to coming back to try brunch and cappuccinos at their new Manhattan Beach location!

The food was just as memorable. The chicken Parmesan was everything you want it to be: crispy, flavorful, and topped with a rich, perfectly balanced marinara and plenty of melted cheese. The Rigatoni Vodka (we added a meatball) was equally impressive. The vodka sauce was creamy without being overly heavy, and the meatball was tender, well seasoned, and packed with flavor. One thing to know before you go: parking can be a nightmare. There is valet in front, or you can opt for parking in the surrounding neighborhood. You're better off grabbing a rideshare if you can. It makes the experience much easier, especially if you plan on enjoying a few drinks. Between the beautiful ambiance, generous portions, and delicious food, this is an easy recommendation. We'll definitely be back.

As we walked in, nothing caught our attention more than the brilliant lively atmosphere. As we took our seats we awaited what would surely be a culinary journey. We ordered the margarita pizza, the calamari, the meatballs, garlic bread, and the pasta pomodoro. Fortunately and unfortunately, our first dish of the night happened to be the garlic bread. The bread locked. It's garlic butter flavor, or that of flavor at all. if it was all we had ordered, Met Him At A Bar would surely be given one star, but thankfully they had more to offer. The meatballs for one held our attention much longer than that of the garlic bread. The flavoring in the meatballs themselves brought us straight back to our childhood straight back to our roots, as the creamy marinara sauce brought the dish to life. A simple yet elegant dish truly. For us, the calamari was simply there. It's maintained everything you want in a calamari yet added nothing new. It stood out to us not in a world of flavor, texture, and culinary experiences. The Margarita Pizza, however it was quite small. What it lacked in size was made up for in flavor. The melted mozzarella mixed with pizza sauce on the pizza to create a pool of flavor, lingering in the middle of the pizza until one slice is picked up and eaten. Lastly, the pasta Pomodoro. The sauce was thin, the pasta was overcooked instead of al dente. In the singular basil leaf stood atop the pasta, not for flavor, but to save the appearance of a disgraceful pomodoro. It's safe to say, Met Him At A bar may or may not be "Meating" us again... Most Sincerely, yours truly: Henry Pollock & Hayden Kalebic

And, Miami. And even at the marinas in San Diego, San Francisco, and Sausalito. The Henry is very large and open, yet, with all the light streaming in, the soft blues and greys keep the atmosphere sophisticated, subdued, and cool. You immediately feel the calm and these days, especially in the city, we can use a good deal of decompressing. It was almost an audible "aaaahhhhh" that my brain whispered when we sat down at our roomy booth. We were there for brunch and the menu was wonderful for me, a lifelong vegetarian. There were multiple items I wanted to try but I usually stick to an appetizer, main, dessert, and beverage. I am not a big eater at one sitting. Between us, everything we ordered was superb. The descriptions were pretty familiar, but the tastes were elevated. And the presentations were unique too -- see my photos. Michael, our server, was efficient but warm and friendly too. That makes such a difference. From beginning to end he took care of us, checking occasionally to get our enthusiastic thumbs-up, and then bringing us sturdy containers and a roomy thick shopping bag to take home the leftovers. We stuffed ourselves but still took home half of the generous portions we were given. The tab was beyond reasonable too, especially for Beverly Hills! Nice music -- not too loud, just enough to give a cheerful vibe in the background; clean appointments; quality furnishings; giant spotless windows; pretty wallcoverings; comfortable seating -- everything was just right, Goldilocks-worthy. This is the kind of place to return to again and again. Garage parking at the complex for $15 was so easy, clean surroundings in the neighborhood with some famous retail nearby for browsing, just 40 minutes from home. IOW, perfect!

The atmosphere is really beautiful, and the service was wonderful, but the food is just way too expensive for what it is. I met up with my friend here for lunch on a Monday, and we had no problem getting a table, it wasn't too busy, and I was able to find street parking about a block down. Or you can pay $15 for the lot that's right behind it. I got the Fish Tacos and it was $30 for 2 sad little tacos and a side of quinoa rice. My friend got the harvest salad, added chicken, and a coke. For all that it was almost an $80 lunch. Insane pricing. This place is cute but not $80 cute.
