Tried Massilia for my friend engagement dinner and overall it was a great experience. The food was very delicious, service was good, and gorgeous ambiance. Very modern inside and view of Disney Concert Hall. I ordered the ahi tuna tostada and it was very good !!! So flavoring and great seasoning!!! I ordered a glass of champagne and it was really good as well too!! I will definitely come back here for girls night or date night. You can park at the Conrad hotel and get your ticket validated at Massilia. Only paid $15 which was not bad. I will come back here to try!! -Marshay D.

Massilia is a gem of a place! We came here after a Grand Performance event. Walked about a block up to Massilia where many of the concert goers were going for an after party. Massilia's ambiance and menu is influenced by flavors of Spain, Italy, France and North Africa. It is a grown and sexy place but with none of the pretentiousness. We were there at about 11pm and it was nicely packed with music playing in the background. Every one from the patrons to the staff were very friendly and had great energy. Our server checked on us regularly and for small talk, he helped me practice speaking French. Mushroom pizza was absolutely delicious as well as the calamari . Overall, I will be coming back to Massilia. I want to try their brunch menu or meet up with friends for drinks.

Tarte pizza

Service was great, food was good, and the Marco Polo tea was really nice as well. I wouldn't get the baklava latte but besides that everything was pretty good. I love the ambiance and the half in half out doors being open letting in the fresh air. Thanks for having us.

Side sauces for the coucous
Elaine T.

I went for a pre-show meal that was worth repeating any time! Ambiance is very lively and for those living or working nearby, going to their weekday happy hour would be a no brainer. Started off with crispy calamari, lightly coated with a seasoned batter and served with an excellent dipping sauce. We split the salade verte (green salad) which was lightly dressed with a delicious vinaigrette and even split was a large plate of greens! We opted to share the royal coucous which included an amazing merguez sausage, tender lamb shank, and chicken over a bed of coucous and chickpeas. Plenty of stewed vegetables and a marvelous broth served in the side that we could use as we wished. The meats were all fall off the bone tender, and the vegetables still held some texture (not mushy). Delightful wines by the glass, and because I had no room for dessert, l finished off the meal with poire william eau de vie! Professional and kind service from hostess to waitstaff. Will definitely be returning soon!

Pleasantly surprised by this spot - service was great and very accommodating. I had the wagyu burger sans bread with avocado and thought it was great! Iced coffee with oat milk hit the spot. Warm authentic decor considering it's the heart of downtown. Will be going back.

Massilia has a really nice ambience, and the noise level was just right--lively but still comfortable enough to have a conversation. Unfortunately, the food was a little disappointing overall. The steak frites was probably the biggest disappointment. The steak was very small and overcooked, especially for what you would expect from this type of restaurant. The pasta also needs some work. We tried the burger and fries, which were okay but nothing particularly memorable. On the positive side, the calamari was good, the Moroccan couscous was really good, and we also enjoyed the meatballs. The lamb shank was another one of the better dishes we tried. I really like the atmosphere, so I would be willing to come back and give Massilia another shot and try a few different dishes. I think the menu could use some updating, and the execution on some of the dishes needs improvement, but there were definitely some highlights. I'd give it another chance.

Grilled Salmon Plate (GF)
Blas V.

While waiting for my daughter's jury selection to wrap up, I decided to grab lunch at Massilia Grand, and I'm glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the restaurant felt warm and welcoming. The host greeted me immediately and quickly showed me to my table, setting the tone for a great dining experience. I started with the meatballs, which were cooked perfectly--tender, flavorful, and a great way to begin the meal. My only criticism was the bread served alongside them. It was a bit too hard and didn't really complement the dish as well as a softer, fresher bread would have. For my entrée, I ordered the grilled salmon with mixed couscous and ratatouille. The salmon was cooked perfectly--moist, flaky, and full of flavor. The mixed couscous was absolutely outstanding and easily one of the highlights of the meal. I'm not much of an eggplant fan, so I skipped that portion of the ratatouille, but everything else on the plate was delicious. Since I don't drink during the week, I paired my meal with a lemonade, and it was incredibly refreshing and the perfect complement to lunch. Overall, Massilia Grand delivered excellent food, welcoming service, and a comfortable atmosphere. Aside from the bread with the meatballs, everything exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.

Prosciutto Pizza (unevenly cooked and burnt top and bottom)
Kawamura K.

Ordered delivery, so I can't give an honest review of the service or ambience. It was our first time ordering, we were hoping to find a Napoli style pizza, calamari and ratatouille. First issue was the ratatouille, they did not have it and we were disappointed. Second issue, for the price/value of the calamari, it was not what is considered a "full portion", it was less that 3/4 cup/a little over 1/2 cups. We shared equally and split between 3 people to try, so it was really a few bites. Third issue is the pizza not being cooked evenly, 1/2 of our prosciutto pizza was burnt on the crust edge and underside. The second pizza we ordered, margherita pizza, we only lightly burnt. Finally, we agreed that we do live further away from the restaurant, so the steam from the pizza and calamari were trapped in the containers, so it made the crust and calamari coating soft instead of crisp. Our thought would be, to ask for the packaging to change to allow ventilation. At least to allow the arugula on the prosciutto pizza to not wilt. We would be willing to try again but in person only.

First time coming here and had an early dinner before my opera visit. I have to say this place is quite nice. The decor is really nice and very inviting. I like how there are lush couch seating all around the restaurant and there's even outdoor patio seating as well. The wide window doors can be opened and closed so that was nice when it got too cold and windy during the evening. As for the food it was quite tasty. We ordered the sausage kale pizza and the crust was perfect. My seared cod over carrot purée and Brussels sprouts was nice. I do wish they would have more Brussels sprouts as I felt the carrot overpowered the dish. The cod was seared nicely and the presentation was nice. Our server was attentive but I felt during checkout he was a bit pushy and wanted to do a quick turnaround of tables. I was taking extra time to double check the bill before paying and he kept coming around asking if I was done. Felt weird. In any case, we had plenty of time after dinner before our opera show.

Location good for post-show food, great for happy hour and get a few drinks. Food is pretty average, not bad but also not good. Basic and average, not bad but very forgettable. We had the meatballs and the salmon tartare. Both pretty average, bread that comes with the meatball is stale, hard to chew, I gave up after one bite and just focus on the meatball and sauce. Sauce is the best thing in there, meatball tastes like Costco food. Salmon tartare very average as well, not super fresh. Just basic raw salmon with soy sauce and avocado and some garnish. Nothing impressive. Definitely won't come back for food unless everything else around is closed and I happen to be in the block. Nothing to complain about service, it's standard. Could be more attentive, took us a while to have someone to get our order after getting seated. Also we ordered sparkling water, they could have just served it right away instead of coming after we half way finish our food. Attitude is fine, no rudeness. Drinks wise are decent, their Quebec beer is great! Cocktail (espresso martini) is okay, good not great . Would rather stick with beer here.

Beautiful restaurant, huge with plenty of seating. They have a parking garage, which also makes it very easy. Service was wonderful, I absolutely loved my merguez sandwich. The flavors were spot on, and I'm always excited to find that since it is not served at many restaurants. The salads and pizzas were also delightful, you really can't go wrong with anything on their menu. The quality is well worth it, everything was perfectly executed and plated beautifully. Great variety on their menu and I appreciate them serving a hearty menu for breakfast. Great option if you are looking for a delicious meal in the area!

There's a lot to like about this spot. Great location for pre/post show dining, or if you're staying nearby, but a bit out of the way, otherwise. Food was very good and portions were decent. Calamari was good, but VERY basic and just rings. Cous cous Royal was very good, Lamb Shank, also. Pizza was the best dish. Service was very good, but it was poorly paced, with entrees showing up before we were finished with our pizza. Infuriating considering the tables are just cocktail rounds. To-go box was too big for the bag provided and open in transit. Major mess. Restaurant told OpenTable we were a no-show. Not cool, so keep in mind if you book.

Seared cod and Niçoise salad
Cynthia D.

Excellent atmosphere. Calm. Eclectic. Invites good discussion. Handsome waiter. Could have checked on us one or two times more. Amazing cod! As for the Niçoise salad, a bit disappointed the tuna wasn't seared and sliced. But overall, a great experience and I'd go back.

Overall was a very good experience! Service was friendly and attentive from the beginning and all…read morethroughout dinner, so that set the tone for the night. We were a party of 6, but 2 were lagging soooo hard for our reservation, and we weren't allowed to be seated until everyone showed up. I think the servers felt bad for us lol so they seated us after 25 minutes or so. By that time, I ordered their Espresso Martini which was delicious! They described it as "smoky and not too sweet." The restaurant itself has a very industrial warehouse kinda vibe to it, which was cool. Very laidback but upscale environment, dress up or dress down, it's totally up to you. My group ordered family style. We ordered... - Appetizers: 'spicy handroll' dip, goat empanadas, goat liver mousse - Veggies: roasted carrots, wood-fired sprouted cauliflower, sautéed green beans, grilled corn - Salad: shrimp & crispy greens salad, - Fish: pan roasted salmon, roasted oysters, - Meat: grilled kalbi-style short ribs, lamb curry - Dessert: matcha tres leches, mango sticky rice Honestly, if I were to do the same family style again, I would make sure I got a good taste of everything again. If I were to choose one of each category though, I'd go with spicy handroll dip as my favorite appetizer, sauteed green beans, I'll try the other salad option (the shrimp & crispy greens salad was really lemon-ey, almost too much), salmon was fantastic and cooked perfectly, the kalbi-style good was impressive and fall off the bone, andddd I can't really complain about either of the desserts. Everyone ended up splitting, it was maybe....$175 per person? Not too bad.

Unfortunately, our experience at Girl & the Goat was pretty disappointing, especially considering…read morehow much we were looking forward to trying it. The biggest issue was the lack of cohesiveness, both in the service and the food. Our server was very difficult to find throughout the evening and only checked on us about twice, if not one of us raising our hand flagging her down. The food itself was very hit or miss. The vegetable appetizers were easily the highlight of the meal! The side dishes were genuinely delicious and had much more interesting flavor and balance than the main dishes. Unfortunately, the main dishes were extremely salty while somehow still lacking depth, spice, and actual seasoning. We ordered the goat curry and grilled chicken, which was recommended by our server. We were also disappointed by how some dishes represented different cuisines without much cultural context. For example, the goat curry is inspired by South African cuisine, but this wasn't indicated on the menu or explained to us by our server until after the fact. Traditionally, that style of curry is commonly eaten with a starch such as rice or a flatbread, so when we asked about having rice with the curry, we were surprised to learn that rice was not available and that we would need to order naan separately if we wanted it. If we are going to emphasize cultural representation in a dish, shouldn't that context also extend to how the dish is traditionally served or at least be explained when ordering? Otherwise, it can feel like the cultural identity of the dish is being adapted primarily for a Western palate rather than thoughtfully represented. This stood out because the restaurant describes itself as having "global influence and bold flavors" while creating dishes inspired by California produce and local flavors. We expected that philosophy to come through much more strongly. Instead, the menu felt somewhat random, and the dishes didn't feel like they belonged to a cohesive culinary story. Even small details, like the somewhat low resolution logo image on the menu, contributed to the impression that the overall concept wasn't as intentional as we'd expected. On a positive note, the drinks were really good, and the vegetable appetizers were definitely the bright spot of the meal! Sadly, dessert was just okay and, again, felt somewhat disconnected from the restaurant's stated identity. Overall, we were excited to experience something different, so this wasn't simply a matter of the dishes not appealing to us personally. Especially for the price of each dish, we expected much more intentionality, consistency, and boldness from a restaurant with such a strong culinary identity and reputation.

The Bottom Line 3.5 stars: Good option when in the area, with some concerns as noted below…read more Location 3 stars: Downtown Los Angeles Arts District, northeast corner of Matteo Street and Whittier Blvd, across the Matteo complex. Coming from the San Fernando Valley, nearest Freeways are the 101 (Exit 2A - Alameda Street/Union Station) and the 5 (Exit 135A - 4th Street). There is limited street parking. We self-parked in a paid ($10 after 6 PM) structure attached to the complex. Venue 4 stars: Huge venue with indoor seating, a large bar area, and a nice rustic and relaxing patio area. Service 3.5 stars: Friendly and helpful but not very attentive. Food 3 stars: We stopped by for lunch on a weekday. They were serving their Brunch menu at that time. It featured a large assortment of offerings including soups, salads, specialty items such as Avocvado Toast and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, burgers, sandwiches and egg dishes such as Eggs Benedict, omelets, wraps and sandwiches and chillaquiles. We had the Zinc Benedict (Salmon), the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and the Avocado Toast. All were just OK but unfortunately lacked in plating/presentation and taste and were rather small for the price. Also their "poached" eggs are not really poached... they were steamed in molds, giving them more of a rubbery texture compared to a true poached egg. Drinks 3.5 stars: Full bar, specialty cocktails and mocktails, specialty coffee/tea/matcha and juices. I had the Iced White Mocha, which was ok.

They do have some good food, but the service always seems to be a BIG miss. The first couple of times we came here, everything was great! Then visit after visit, it was always something, on top of not knowing how long you would be there. The worst was about a little over 2 hours. That day it was not that busy, or it didn't seem like it to us and from the time we sat down, until we left was a bare minimum of 2 hours. On a previous visit, our server randomly left and we were not notified or helped until we asked to speak with a manager because we hadn't seen our server Today was it..... we will never go back there again They do have an outdoor patio area, which is where we normally sit, but with this heat we sat inside. I see a small white dog running around the patio area with its leash dragging behind it and no one following it. The dog is looking like it needs to poop. I see a lady emerge with a clear plastic bag around her hand... YES! THE DOG POOPED IN THE PATIO BY ONE OF THE TREES (see attached photo) we could not believe our eyes! The lady picks it up, then proceeds to walk around the restaurant looking for a trash can to throw away the dog poop! She knew she was doing something wrong because any server that was around her, she hid the bag behind her back. The dog also butt scooted all through out the patio floor! As I write this, I cannot believe that happened. Completely lost our appetites. We asked for a manager and all he did was go laugh, joke and smile with her. Before I left, we told them we would never be back and that they should really check their trash cans to see what she did with it. It was semi good while it lasted Zinc

Crispy chicken, tangy sauce, and bread that holds everything together like it's doing core workouts. It's messy in the best way, the kind of sandwich that demands respect and maybe a bib. * Fully Loaded Cajun Tots, These tots don't play around. They show up dressed to impress, cheese, toppings, flavor, the whole squad. It's basically a tiny potato block party, and you're invited. * Beignets, very delicious, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and dusted with enough powdered sugar to make you question your laundry choices. One bite and suddenly you're hearing jazz horns in the distance. Their coffee game....Dangerously good. My boogie coffee drink - latter came out smooth, sweet, and caffeinated enough to make me consider running around the block a few times. It's the kind of drink that makes you shimmy in your seat and say, "Yeah... life is good." This place nails the New Orleans vibe without trying too hard.

The chicken was well seasoned and crispy paired with tangy pickled vegetables and a tasty pretzel bun. The combination of flavours packed a punch but we did wish for a thicker slice of chicken. The tater tots were very well seasoned too and the sauces were yummy, something acidic would be a nice addition to cut through the fatty goodness. When we asked for utensils they didn't have any forks so they gave us one spoon and one knife. We made it work. Definitely want to come back to try other things on their menu whenever they rotate it.

I am obsessed with their happy hour, which offers healthy items at discounted prices with generous portions! I have been here so many times throughout the years but most recently found myself here during a busy World Cup match! Regardless, the service and quality of food was not sacrificed! I was greeted as soon as I got there and the bartenders were overwhelmed but still friendly and helpful. I was so tempted to get a margarita, since theirs are amazing, but decided to keep it dry and just get their vegan nachos. I was able to score a table outside on their lovely patio, which felt secluded enough from the main street. My food was brought out quicker than I thought and I was delighted, as I was famished! The vegan nachos here are fantastic and the happy price is only $10, which is a steal for what you get! They are costed in the most magical concoction of a bean puree, cashew cheese sauce, and guacamole which all have the most creamy, luscious and savory flavors. It's so hearty and well seasoned and not only filling, but you feel great after. Parking is pretty easy, as there are usually ample meters available nearby. I cannot wait to return again soon the next time I'm in Downtown LA! I am hoping to try more of their vegan options and next time I will for sure get a drink to go along with their delicious food!

Prank has a fun atmosphere and a great location in DTLA, but my experience was a bit mixed. The…read morecocktails didn't quite live up to expectations. I ordered the Espresso Martini, and it tasted pretty watered down and lacked the bold coffee flavor I was hoping for. On the bright side, the food was definitely the highlight. The mussels were flavorful, the calamari was crispy and cooked well, and the fries were delicious. Those dishes really saved the experience . Overall, I'd come back for the food, but I'd probably steer clear from cocktails and order a real drink. Prank is a convenient place for dtla residents in surrounding apartments to come get some quick bites and drinks and catch a live game

Distrito Catorce is a gem in Boyle Heights that delivers on all fronts. The food was outstanding!…read moreFresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, with authentic flavors and quality ingredients that stood out from the first bite to the last. The ambiance was welcoming and the art was tasteful. What truly elevated the experience was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the meal. They were quick to offer recommendations and ensured everything was perfect without being intrusive. We ordered the tostaditas de atún agua chile negro, beet salad, carne asada taco and Al pastor taco and watched the World Cup game. Distrito Catorce combines exceptional food, a great atmosphere, and top-notch service. It's the kind of place that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even finished your meal. Definitely plan on coming back to watch more World Cup games.

I knew heading into Distrito Catorce that I wanted to see three things . The closing art exhibit,…read morehear the live band, and finally try Chef Jonathan's menu. It was basically a grand slam. To be honest, I was already biased because his Smorgasburg pop-ups were consistently good. But Distrito Catorce is different , it's like art. My favorite dish was the tacos de papa with salsa macha. The crunch of the potato taco riding into the salsa macha and crema felt like home, but with some extra pop. His salsa game is on point. The scallion salsa on the ribeye taco was also gas. Lastly, I really dug the tostadita de atún. It hit perfectly on these hot summer days. Low-key, I still want to try the El Rey de Noche. Tacos de beef trompo are starting to hit LA, and dude was ahead of the curve making picanha-brisket tacos de trompo. Service is smooth too. The servers are helpful, and solid at the bar. Overall, it's a cool spot with a menu that feels unique to LA.
