We had some Gorgonzola Dolce which came with toasted almonds, toasted bread and a fig jam. Then we had a pizza with anchovies, Calabrian chilli and olives Dessert was a layered, green (pistachio), chocolate and a pink (can't remember if strawberry or raspberry!) covered in a dark chocolate shell. All the food was delicious and service was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back. My only advice is the parking which is validated and therefore free or way cheaper than the nearby lots is a bit tricky to find! We circled a few times till we worked out how to access it but we found it in the end!

Been here before with my wife. Menu is good not great. This…read moretime we went on a Saturday night, and the restaurant was less than half full. We had a reservation but it was unnecessary. We ordered an appetizer and an entree, plus drinks. The drinks were served promptly. The appetizer took more than 45 minutes to arrive, with no word on the entree. I politely explained I was no longer interested and preferred to leave. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating. However, I would have much preferred to have eaten the food that I ordered. By the time we had left after waiting over an hour for our meal, there were few places in the area that were open to find a meal. Overall the staff was very apologetic, but I for sure will not be returning to this location, especially given the extremely high prices requested for below par service. I would not recommend this place to anyone, as there are many more restaurants in the area offering better menus and far better service.

The staff (Marie & Ahyoka) were awesome and personable in helping us choose our drinks along with being very helpful in their recommendations for the Loreto restaurant we had reservations for dinner for after. The vibe is pretty cool and it has a bit of a speakeasy type look along with some dark settings that could also fit as a romantic setting.

Their recommendations were spot on. The atmosphere is intimate, cozy, and honestly perfect for a date night. It has such a warm and inviting vibe that makes you want to stay for hours.

I even enjoyed both a white and a red during my visit. Normally mixing wines can leave me with a headache the next day, but the bartenders paired everything so thoughtfully that the wines complemented each other beautifully, and I felt great afterward. I can't wait to return and experience both the food and wine together next time. Highly recommend!

Going out is expensive so make it worth your time and stay for a while. The cheese board was high quality and delicious, but only enough for two people realistically. I love the secret back patio for those looking for outdoor space.

I just have to say... wow! What an absolutely great experience from start to finish!!!…read more The restaurant is such a cool, intimate space that immediately makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door. There is a cute little bar and a cozy space with the perfect amount of tables inside. There is also a wonderful patio with plenty of outdoor seating. Our waiter, Lokahi, took such great care of us and was so warm, friendly and helpful with his suggestions.... But I have to say, I think that no matter what we ordered, it would have been great! We started with the little gem Caesar salad, the brussel sprouts and the patatas bravas... all were sooooo good! The salad was simple, crispy and fresh with delicious tomatoes, the perfect amount of Parmesan, and a superb Caesar dressing. The patatas bravas was equally as good - slightly crispy potatoes with a great tomato sauce that had a hint of spice and was incredibly flavorful! And the brussel sprouts were perfect - not oily, plenty of flavor and overall rounded out our apps perfectly. For dinner we each had the Salt Spring Mussels with a side of fries to share... the mussels were amazing, the broth delicious and the side of bread that they serve with them is the perfect addition to soak up all the savory broth. The fries were cooked perfectly and were seasoned just right! I have to say that Melanie is without a doubt one of the best dinner experiences that we have had in our 11 years of being in LA. From the food and service to the overall experience, I would give Melanie 10 stars if I could. Needless to say, I would HIGHLY recommend Melanie as I know that you will have an amazing meal with equally top notch service as well! We will 100% be coming back again and again!!!

I didn't make it here until March 2026 and after my first visit, I'm sorry I didn't come earlier. My husband and I came here on a Sunday night, with a last minute reservation I'd made on Resy. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we came in around 5:30ish. A lot of the tables were empty. They had both indoor and outdoor dining available, but the majority of the seats were indoor. The ambiance here is dark and chic, it reminded me very much of restaurants in NYC. It would make for a good spot for a date night or girls' night out. We made it here in time to order one thing from their happy hour menu, the tater tots. These were heavy but moreish, it was hard to stop eating them even when my stomach was telling me I was full. We also shared the corn, which I believe may have been a special/seasonal dish. It will go down as one of the best corn dishes I've ever eaten in a restaurant. My husband got the burger for his main and I got the mussels. The mussels were pretty fresh and silky, and were overall excellent, but I didn't love the broth they came in. My husband's burger was fantastic. It's one of the best burgers I've eaten at a restaurant in LA. Service was lovely and efficient. I'm looking forward to dining here again, and would highly recommend trying it.

Great outdoor experience before it got really hot. We had 10:15am reservations. We spent a few hours there enjoying the food and drinks. The espresso martini was so different than others that we've tried, probably because it was made with brandy. So so good! The mushroom pizza was absolutely amazing.

The two stars reflect our experience with the noise level, service, and especially the amount of smoking around the outdoor dining area. The tables next to us had several people chain-smoking, which was extremely unpleasant while sitting in an area where people are supposed to be eating. I honestly didn't realize smoking was allowed so close to dining tables, and it made it impossible for us to enjoy being there. When we sat down, we were also given only one menu for two people. We considered moving inside, but it was so incredibly loud that having a normal conversation seemed nearly impossible. I would still like to come back and actually try the food, and I'd be happy to update my review based on that experience. Next time, though, I would probably visit on a weekday and sit inside to avoid the smoking and hopefully have a quieter experience.

There's a high sense of hospitality as soon as you walk through the door. Everybody was friendly from the people greeting us to the servers. The space itself felt casual, but elegant. When we came in, we had a pretty large group. I felt bad because we really wanted to go, but we had a reservation right before a concert. We didn't want to rush the folks here so we just tried to order as soon as we could. I started with a gin martini that was really well made and it really hit the spot. The food came out beautifully presented and most importantly, really delicious. The dishes we ordered included: - Cheese Plate - Pleasant Ridge Reserve Cheese Tart - Scallop Crudo - Chicken Liver Mousse - Caesar Beef Tartare - Yao Cheng Yams, Gaujillo Sabayon - Tehachapi Polenta, Mendoza Asparagus, Weiser Snow Peas - Grilled Local Black Cod - Steak Frites Definitely looking forward to coming back in a less rushed setting (on my end) to just really enjoy the fantastic food here.

All the dishes were delicious and all the flavors meshed well when mixing sauces with different items. Steak was thick but somehow still remained perfectly juicy and medium rare, one of the few steaks that I think are good to eat in one bite without cutting because each large piece had so much nuanced flavor per chew. Loved the caesar beef tartare too, and how it was already cut into small pieces! Housemade caesar dressing was hitting with the anchovies, and the sourdough was perfectly toasted. Parking is metered or neighborhood parking, can be a bit tricky but we always seem to get lucky in this area. Service was so friendly and sweet, water was constantly refilled even on a busy night. I love how efficiently they've used the sq footage and even though there are many people dining in at once, it doesn't feel crowded due to the layout. Both bathrooms were clean and we dined in around 8:30 PM.
