Soul down Sunday at Pips!
Robert G.

This review will focus strictly on the pizza selection, this time I went with the veggie with extra cheese and jalapenos. Quite naturally I have to begin the hydration process with the Saratoga Still selection l. This has to be some of the best water ever. For starters the crowd was kind of thinned out which I guess in some respects is to be expected since football is ongoing, particularly the late game between Detroit and Kansas city, two heavy weights. CSA (customer service All Star) Pedro was in the house, so I was quick to ask for him. Even caught a glimpse of Pip himself! DJ Devoux was his usual self, spinning awesome tunes from the 70's-90's. All in all a good time was had.

I went here for a birthday party and was too busy socializing to take photos of my food smh I'm gonna have to go back and add them later. I ordered the stuffed artichoke and the vegan butternut squash lasagna. I also shared some shoestring fries. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious! The stuffed artichoke was unique--it was stuffed with minced salmon on a bed of sautéed spinach. I could have done without the spinach though. The vegan lasagna was a pleasant surprised because I don't like the sweetness of butternut squash but it wasn't sweet at all. The service is great and the vibe was lively. We were outside and there was live music playing indoors. But since we were outside, we could actually hear our conversation. If we were inside, it probably would have been too loud to hear. The only thing I didn't like was that there were cigar smokers near our group. I'm sure inhaling cigar smoke for two hours shaved a couple years off my life :-( I'd definitely come back to have an event here but I would ask to not be seated near any smokers.

I'm really gonna miss pips when they close. The food is delicious. The vibe is always great and the entertainment is outstanding.

I and my hubby love it.

The service was excellent and lady Dee was phenomenal. Our family enjoyed every moment

Sunday brunch and Sangrias out on the patio. A lovely time was had with good food, and unlimited mimosas

Friendly staff, and the atmosphere is amazing especially out on the patio. For Sunday brunch, try the salmon lasagna as an alternative for non-meat eaters. You're welcome. There's live music during brunch, and the unlimited mimosas are always a favorite! Went here this time with a group of 6 and we all enjoyed the food and the vibes.

First time at Pips. The service was exceptional from valet parking to the greeting upon walking in, to the drinks, the delicious food and the entertainment. This restaurant/club operates like a well oiled machine. All of the service staff were excellent at their jobs, they work together and they worked very hard all night to provide some of the best service I've ever had. The salmon lasagna was delicious. TJ was our server and bartender. Our drinks were so delicious. I had a great evening listening to Madam D and the band and I will go again, very soon. The only draw back was that there was heavy cigar smoking in the back outside and the smoke kept coming inside the restaurant and it was very unpleasant. We asked for the for to be closed and each time they closed it, it was reopen it and all that heavy smoke was awful. No one smokes hardly anymore and it was really choking us. The servers were opening it to go out and serve those outside so I did understand that but the cigar smoke was terrible. But I still had a wonderful time and met some of the nicest people that were seated near us.

Ask the Community - PIPS On La Brea

What is the Dress code?

It is classy casual.

Are reservations needed on a Saturday night?

Definitely if you have a big party. Tried walking in for 8 people and nothing available.

What is the parking situation? Is there a lot or is it just street parking?

Valet parking is the norm..never an issue and very safe. Outside that, no street parking available or recomendable.

Would you suggest brunch on the patio on a hot day?? Are there shades or fans? Large party attending.

There is sufficient shade on the patio; trees, no fans. However, there are spots that are uncovered.

Any Vegan options here?

I don't believe so

Are dogs allowed on the patio?

I would not suggest it

For Sunday brunch, is it better to sit outside or inside to really enjoy the music?

I graduated and enlisted in the military and have still been pursuing music waiting for a spot to open up in the Air Force band. I ended up calling Benn again for virtual lessons from where I was stationed to get flute and clarinet lessons again (I've never played clarinet). Not only did he help me with my doubles in such a short amount of time (4 months) to be able to send in my audition materials. I won the audition pre screen and won the live audition. Thanks to Benn I would've never gotten good enough on both to be able to get this amazing opportunity and now my dream has come true and I'm set for life. Thank you Benn for being one of the best teachers I know!

Benn Clatworthy is an outstanding teacher and truly a world-class musician. Whether on clarinet,…read moresaxophone, or flute, he has a gift for breaking down music theory--diatonic scales, pentatonic scales, and modes--into simple, easy-to-grasp lessons that will have you jamming quickly. But Benn doesn't just teach notes and scales; he emphasizes musicality, that elusive quality that makes you sound like a professional. His ear and sense of phrasing are unmatched, and he shares them in a way that's approachable for players of all levels. Beginner or advanced, you'll leave each lesson not only making you a better player, but also understanding music in a deeper way.

**Review of Steven Solomon -- Pianist for My Birthday Celebration**…read more Steven Solomon was the highlight of my recent birthday party. From the start, his professionalism impressed me: he communicated clearly beforehand, arrived early, and set up with everything perfectly in order. What amazed everyone was his "one-man-band" artistry. While his hands brought the piano to life, his feet added percussion and bass, creating the energy of a full ensemble. He even provided microphones for singers, and between sets, he played tasteful pre-recorded music so the flow never stopped. Steven went above and beyond by learning an obscure piano piece I had requested in advance. Not only did he play it beautifully, he told me afterward he loved it so much he was adding it to his repertoire. That kind of openness and joy in music is rare. Equally striking was his ability to hold a relaxed conversation while effortlessly continuing to play. He melded seamlessly with my family and friends, and many guests mentioned how much they enjoyed him. My sister-in-law summed it up best when she said, *"Keep his number!"* If you want an event elevated with both artistry and warmth, Steven Solomon is an exceptional choice.

He is also polite and came in a tuxedo. Which was super cool. He was also nice enough to learn a couple of specific piano pieces at my request. Which was lovely. My guests enjoyed the music very much. I am grateful and will consider him again in the future!

BEST. WEDDING. EVER. Those were the exact words our guests…read morekept saying -- and the only words a Bride wants to hear about her special day, am I right? Having the Bob Gail Music 11-piece band was one of the best choices we made. From start to finish, everything was easy and smooth, but the real magic was the music. The energy, the joy, the nonstop dancing -- it was everything we hoped for and more. We worked with the band to make every moment feel special -- our custom playlist, first dance, the big "let's dance!" moment, and even the last song of the night. Plus, the jazz trio during cocktails set the perfect vibe before the party kicked off. If you want a band that keeps the dance floor packed and your guests raving for weeks (maybe years) after, definitely book Bob Gail Music.

From the stunning string quartet that set the perfect tone during our ceremony to the high-energy band that got everyone on the dance floor early in the night, every moment was exceptional. So many of our guests commented afterward on how incredible the music was--multiple people even told our parents it was the best dancing they've ever seen at a wedding. The talent, professionalism, and energy the entire group brought made our celebration unforgettable. We're so grateful to Higher Ground for helping create such a magical night. If you're looking for a band that will truly elevate your event, look no further!

I work very close by and would say this is one of the better lunch options in the area for me…read more Everything is always consistently ready very fast and it's always tasty. There is a small free parking lot right out front, otherwise free street parking is also easy to find. Inside is large enough to dine in, but I always get it to go. They do have a pretty large menu with a lot of great options on it and I love that they have smoothies and drinks as well as food items. I have tried a few different things here, but this past order I got the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and added avocado and honestly really liked it. The ciabatta bread was crispy and the the chicken was perfectly spicy and I just really enjoyed it. The dressing on the side salad was also terrific. I would recommend if you are in the area.

So knowing they're also here in West Adams with a plus point that sit down space was provided, so obviously I was giving it a go. They did have shared free parking lot with some other tenants within the complex, giving it another bonus point. Price was pretty affordable for the portion. I got their Dolce Latte and I was pleased that temperature was pretty hot just like how I fancied my hot coffee. Typically I was disappointed by the lukewarm one that I mostly had to request my drink being extra hot. This one served it just right despite I forgot to mention it when ordering. The coffee was sweetened with condensed milk and I thought it's a decent cup for being less than $7
