While staying at Level Los Angeles, we noticed a random wine bar that always had a few people…read moreenjoying themselves throughout all times of the day. We couldn't figure out what GCF was until we looked them up, and it's an enigmatic wine bar that additionally offers a cafe, brunch, lunch, dinner, and to-go liquor (bottle shop) experience. There's happy hour on weekdays 3-6pm and their website is up to date with their hours and stock. While they are open until 11pm, food service ends at 9:30pm. We tried! We purchased to-go enjoyment for the hotel some of their ciders and sours, where we found one of our top tastes. This included the Rainbow Sherbet and Double Rainbow Sherbet by Prairie Artisan Ales, and Shacksbury Classic Dry Cider. The best was the rainbow sherbet, as it had an addictive sweetness that was more balanced and smooth than the double rainbow. Their food offerings seem good, and I regret not having the stomach space or time management to try! However, it's an ultra convenient place to peruse a good selection of alcohol.

I loved the cheese plate as it had a fun variety on it! There is a lot of seating both outside and inside and it never takes too long to get a table. They also validate parking!

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.

HOT BUTTERED CLAMS: Wow... these were to die for. So delicious, and the clams really do just melt in your mouth. And together with the beans! Genius. We ordered it with bread too, which I highly recommend to soak up all the sauce. 2. SPICED SMOKED SARDINE PATE: They had so many tins that we were a little paralyzed, but we ended up choosing this one and it was delicious! It came with saltine crackers and pickled peppers. The star of the show was really the hot buttered clams, though. SERVICE (5/5): Service was great! They were really helpful with what we should order. TAKEAWAYS: I would definitely come back to Kippered - I want to bring a slightly larger group next time so I can order a bunch of tins! What this bar has to offer is so unique, and I'm glad I got to experience it.

The hosts are v familiar with their wines and can give you recommendations on what to get. You can even have tasters so you're not stuck getting a pour of something you don't like.. it's a beautiful spot lots of dark wood. Would be a great date spot. Oh they have lots of cool things to nibble on definitely the largest tinned fish selection of any bar in the downtown area. They have bread with European butter. Coming back for sure.

Our options were to try a class of their brut or buy a bottle of any of the other wines but we weren't able to try them.

Definitely wouldn't come back for the wine, might try the coffee in the day time.

Our server took the time to explain everything on the menu, which we really appreciated. The ambience is beautiful, and the noise level was perfect--you can actually enjoy your meal and have a conversation. And the food was SO good! We had the New York ribeye, which was amazing, along with the tall fries--definitely a must. The tuna crudo was fresh and delicious, and the beef tartare and Wagyu skewers were both amazing as well. We also had the dry-aged meat board with lamb, which was really good, and the prawns were another favorite. Everything we ordered was delicious! We finished off with the ice cream dessert, which was the perfect ending to an incredible meal. They also have a very good wine list with plenty of great options. From the food to the service to the atmosphere, everything came together for such a memorable experience. Definitely one of those places you leave already thinking about when you can come back. Highly recommend!

Food is hit or miss overall, and the sliders perfectly represent that lol. Sometimes the meat tastes fresh, seasoned, and so good... and sometimes it absolutely does not. Today was unfortunately one of those days Dear gods don't let me get sick. Very inconsistent Also the well vodka tastes like punishment so drink at your own risk. So I never benefit from happy hour prices. And one time after my birthday get together there, my friend had her card number stolen (card was charged there a couple weeks later) and had a hard time getting ahold of anyone after, which wasn't great. Service is cool, not amazing, but somehow I still keep coming back because the vibe wins every time.
