    Went here shortly after it opened. Made a reservation. Lots of street parking (meters). Right next door to Orsa and Winston, his other restaurant. Food was great. We liked everything we ordered. We ordered a few dishes from each side of the menu. Cocktails were also fantastic. Service was a bit slow - seemed like not quite enough servers for a full dining room and some People eating at the bar. Will go back!

    Really cool space in DTLA that is actually co-owned by the Michelin starred Orsa and Winston next door. This is a more budget friendly spot with all-around good food and vibes. The Le Draq Baco is a great with short rib and veggies in a soft flatbread wrap. The Cauliflower and Pesto was a good appetizer too that was filling and great to share. Service was friendly and nice!

    Loved this place! Stopped in for dinner with a friend during a weekend trip to LA. The food was creative. Plenty of gluten free options. Favorites were the cauliflower and cod collar. Well-balanced cocktails. Cute vibe. Server seemed to be a little over committed, but she was friendly and helpful with the menu. Definitely adding to my list for future visits.

    I have not been here in years. I made a reservation for one after a day at the museum. Danny met me…read moreand he remembered my name. This was such a comfortable restaurant to spend my evening. Great place for couples, and a group of friends. Everyone in the restaurant was having a lovely time. Byron was my waiter and he was very attentive. I should say everyone was attentive. There was a woman and an older gentleman who also checked in on me. Tudor read my mind, and took my appetizer cutlery and plate, and replaced them for my entree. I loved that. When food tastes good, I dance a little in my seat with a big smile. I guess one of the patrons noticed. As he was walking out, he said you're really enjoying yourself. I really was. The Paella Marinera dish seemed as if the ocean exploded in my plate The shrimp. The prawns. The calamari. The muscles. The clams. I was so glad everything was perfectly cooked and nothing was mushy. There was seafood in every forkful. The taste exploded in my mouth,and not a bland taste anywhere. My comfort were the plants I was seated next to. I touched them to check if they were real. They were real, and they were healthy. The owners care what the restaurant looks like because the plants are healthy. These little things I notice. I had a great time at La Paella. If you love seafood with a Spanish flair, I highy recommend you make a dinner reservation at La Paella.

Especially liked their earthy, garlic scented Manteca looking spread which was referred to as Aïoli. Also, there is a salty, brined, chopped olive Tapenade. 2) Paella is their own claim to fame so I ordered the Paella Marinera/seafood. The visuals did not disappoint. Requested the Spanish Bomba rice for more "authenticity" at an extra charge. Minimum order is sized for two persons. Two extra large prawns with heads attached which allowed me to sample the tomalley/shrimp butter which is creamy with a sea scented Umami along with the body meat. Four regular, steamed, headless shrimp with sweet meat. Seven clams, but over cooked. Eight mussels firm & meaty. Soft, bright red bellpepper slices contrasted against the yellow orange rice. The saffron tinted soft rice that held a delicate seafood broth hiding micro-squid, plush white meat fish. The Socarrat/the crispy rice at the bottom of Paella pan was minimal as requested since I didn't want the rest of the rice to be too dried out. Overall, the Paella was fine. (I keep using the Paella created by an art teacher from Spain, Miguel Duran, at his home which blew me out of the water as the standard so it seems most Paellas fall short.) 2a) Vino Tinto: Honoro Vera, Monastrell, Jumilla, España is juicy plum, blackberry with hints of cinnamon, dried thyme, dark chocolate, earthy, and smooth tannins. Made from Monastrell/Mourvèdre. 3) Flan de Naranja is smooth, not too sweet accompanied by a caramel sauce with a touch of orange flavouring, slices of fresh orange. Service is muted, abbreviated, non-effusive, but acceptable. The job gets done. Overall, 3+ stars.

    I visited Bar Siesta on a warm spring evening on Monday for a lovely dinner - which, as it turns…read moreout, was the antidote to the Monday blues. We loved the warm ambience of Bar Siesta. There was ample al fresco seating, as well as atmospheric, candlelit dining inside. Menu items were reminiscent of my time in Spain and transported me back to my time there. What we ordered for the table, in order of preference: 1. Patatas bravas - fabulously crispy and flavorful. 2. Sardines - always a favorite, and the lemon zest contrasted nicely with the brininess of the fish. 3. Gambas - prawns were perfectly grilled and fresh. 4. Croquetas - love anything fried or crispy, so this was a classic choice. 4. Sardine toast - again, the lemon zest offset the fishiness beautifully. 5. King trumpet mushrooms - so umami, and almost tasted like steak. 6. The steak - loved the bright sauce that accompanied it. 7. Arroz - perhaps because I was expecting more of a paella dish, this one came out a little more textureless than I would've preferred. Decent flavor; just didn't entirely enjoy the mushy texture. 8. Morcilla de cebolla - I ordered this wanting to give blood sausage another try, but it's still not a favorite dish of mine and would not reorder. Overall, most dishes were enjoyable, well made and presented. We also enjoyed a carafe of basque wine, which complemented our meal very nicely. There's no dedicated parking lot, but there is street parking in the surrounding neighborhood. I was lucky enough to find parking on the street behind the restaurant.

    Great service & vibe. Definitely great for date night…read more I tried their blood sausage, sardine on tomato bread, Ensalada Verde salad, and Arroz con Almejas. Blood sausage (Morcilla) was the highlight of the night! Just really delicious and would def recommend for everyone! Along with the house tab white wine, the food pairing was great! Portions are bit small, so not a place to come to pig out, but to enjoy the vibe, service, food, and company you bring. Def reocmmend!

    If you're looking for amazing, fine dining experience in LA--a place to toast a or celebrate the…read morepurchase of a minor-league sports team--end your search now. It's Somni. When the original iteration of this extravagant tasting menu restaurant debuted in 2018 in the back of the SLS Hotel, it was a stunner from day one. Now, a pandemic intermission and a relocation to West Hollywood later, Somni 2.0 operates on an even higher level. Somni is not only the most expensive restaurant in Los Angeles, it's also one of the most expensive in the country. The tasting menu starts at $745 actually, you're dealing with a meal that can cost as much as a family trip to legoland. Somni makes it clear from the first of 20-plus courses where your money is going. As you're led into a tree-draped courtyard outside the converted bungalow where the restaurant is housed (it used to be a Donna Karan store), the night begins with a champagne flute of frothed-up mandarin juice and a spread of carnival-coded snacks: popcorn-flavored leaves, a feather made of parmesan, and a big trompe l'oeil almond shell that cracks under your teeth like candy. Somni's chef cooked under José Andres and came up in the tongue-in-cheek school of fine dining made famous by Spain's El Bulli--so whimsy-heavy dishes like a cartoonish mushroom sandwich boosted with truffle, or a sashimi-like sardine tart on an oversized goldfish cracker are par for the course. But Somni's Spanish-leaning creations never sacrifice deliciousness for cleverness. An obscenely generous mound of caviar over a dissolving puff of dashi-flavored meringue is so delicious that all you can do is sigh. Beef tartare is delicately stuffed inside a tempura shiso leaf that's fried so it inflates like a crab shell, all but defying physics. A fair number of dishes use foams and flowers at Somni, but there's nothing dainty about the flavors here. The food is only half of what you'll remember, though. The dining room's 14 seats gently curve around a long kitchen counter like front-row seats to a play. The servers are cooks and vice versa. Many of them wear Secret Service earpieces. There's a natural choreography to how they breeze around the room, but no moment in the three-hour production comes across rehearsed for someone that's paralyzed. That's great news A beverage pairing is required Even if you choose the most inexpensive option-- over 100 Still, if you're willing to make the investment, Somni does not disappoint. A meal at this theatrical tasting menu spot is nothing short of incredible--just know it's incredibly expensive, too.

    Service: A+ Food: A+…read moreDecor and ambiance: A+ An unforgettable culinary experience. I want to recognize all the hard work, passion, and dedication Chef Zabala and his team brought to this extraordinary meal. My wife and I arrived early. I strongly recommend arriving early, since all guests are seated at the same time. All guests are served at the same time - by a highly synchronized team effort. Dress code exists. My wife wore a stunning dress. Me - in a long sleeve, khakis, and dress shoes. I recommend, for male guests, to dress better than I did. Definitely a jacket. The experience starts with warm, friendly smiles as you enter through the door. From there, you will be taken to the outdoor patio area, where tables, seats, hanging decor, and IG picturesque trees await. It's a start to what will be a wonderful experience. Then you will be taken indoors. Inside there is seating for 14. Seating is styled like a curved line. Two sides. You will face the Chef and his team. Plating will take place in front of you, and then taken to each person with synchronized style and grace. I felt like I was watching a conductor conduct a culinary symphony with his orchestra. Food? Unbelievable. Beautiful, creative, and complex. Look at the photos. The dedication it takes to dream of a deconstructed pizza and rebuilt by gastronomy, then executed with precision. And devoured by a few quick mouthfuls, yet fully savored. Service is rhythmic, synchronized, and attentive. Rhythmic because there is a pace, a rhythm set by the courses. Synchronized because the staff work in unison. Attentive because they feel and respond to the pulse of each guest. The wine pairing? Spot on. Team member Caroline did an excellent job here. Even when stuffed to the brim, I would not let a single drop of wine go to waste. No way, down the hatch it goes. On that note, get a rideshare or taxi. Last, Chef Zabala. His passion and dedication are noteworthy. To invent his dishes, to make them, to perfect them, and then to serve them. I can only imagine how much behind-the-scenes work it takes. An artist, a culinary magician, and a dedicated master to his craft. Thank you!

    Anniversary choice? Yes!…read more The online pics didn't do justice to how intimate and special it can feel. If you choose to sit inside, it is really intimate/romantic. Small space with others close by but they manage to make it feel intimate somehow. Anywho - we didn't chose that option! We sat outside in the covid created sidewalk space. It wasn't as intimate but we love it outside and with the heater on, I was perfectly comfy! Didn't take pics. There are already tons, and I would've be able to get a better shot. But let me tell you what we had and LOVED all of it: - Deviled eggs - favored with olive. Very tasty. - Papas - the hot sauce and aoili made this delicious! - A creamy goat cheese, fig and honey tostado - short rib on small piece of polenta. Fantastic! - Mac and cheese. Divine! I'll be thinking about this for a loooong time! The machego cheese takes it to next level. The pasta - not like any macaroni I've ever seen, was delightful to eat. - Octopus. This was our "wild side" order, because hubby has been disappointed by octopus in the past because it's been cooked until tough. But we took a chance, closing out our meal on this dish, and man we were so glad we did! It's chargrilled, has a bit of smokiness to it, sitting in a lot of drawn butter. It's like a scallop but with more chew to it. It was delicious! The only not so big disappointment was that the reservation site asks if it's a special occasion. So I selected anniversary. But apparently, the staff don't read that I go because no mention was made of our anniversary. I wouldn't have cared except that they asked in advance, so I thought there would be some acknowledgment or maybe a dessert. Wrong! lol! Still, very memorable meal with friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful servers who went out of their way to find a working heater for my table.

Parking was easy, you can find metered parking on the street or if you drive around to the back of the restaurant there was a parking lot (paid). The ambiance of the restaurant was nice, the outdoor patio in the front of the restaurant was quaint - plenty of umbrellas and quite spacious. The happy hour menu had some great deals - $9-$15 which a lot less then their regular dinner prices. You can find their happy hour menu on their website. We tried the spicy garlic shrimp which was our favorite. Our second fave was the mac & cheese (manchego). Delicious! Our least favorite was the tortilla espanola. Wine was $9. The staff was super friendly and their happy hour was pretty busy. Once it started getting busy, everything took a long time so I suggest you try to get their early and order everything up front (rather then a dish here and there). But it's a great place and we'd love to head back to try their paella.
