    Darling had been on my list for a while. I have Southern roots and love Southern food, so I was…read moreexcited to finally try it. I also made a point of ordering things I probably wouldn't normally choose, which turned out to be a very good decision. Started with the Midnight Club, a bourbon cocktail with blackberry, amaro, citrus, and absinthe. Really good, with enough going on to be interesting without tasting overly complicated. The surprise of the night was the grilled squash and Romano beans. Honestly one of the best-tasting vegetable dishes I've had. Squash, tomatoes, mint, cornbread purée, and this thicker sweet-vinegary sauce all came together incredibly well. There was so much flavor in something I probably would have overlooked on the menu. I also had the black cod with grits and clams, which was fantastic. The fish was boneless and beautifully cooked over buttery grits, and the sauce underneath was so good I wanted a spoon for it. Rich and buttery, a little sweet, with dill coming through unexpectedly in a really pleasant way. Just an unbelievable amount of flavor. For dessert I had the profiteroles with brown butter ice cream, pecan sauce, and date. Great flavors, although they were a little awkward to eat with a spoon. The space itself is very cool, with interesting art and an open-air section in the middle that gives the restaurant a distinctive feel. Friendly service throughout. There was a DJ playing, which was fine, although it was pretty loud where they initially seated me near the lounge. I moved farther back into the restaurant and it was much more comfortable. You'll also hear the occasional "woo!" coming from the bar area. Overall, a really fun meal and several dishes I'd come back specifically to eat again. The squash in particular was completely unexpected and exceptional.

    It'd been a while since my last nice southern meal, and Chef Brock delivered…read more It's rather dimly lit inside at the evening, but if you can go early enough to catch some daylight, then the tree planted in the center really shows off, and the loungey feel is more evident. The food is mostly excellent. Green goddess salad was very good, albeit a bit heavy on the dressing. Pickled shrimp were a generous size and quite delicious, the pork loin atop corn was even better. The tahini and cucumber was least memorable dish, in fact, I would pass on it. Had three dishes that were all unique yet a bit too similar: Carolina creamed rice, some sort of white bean dish, and a greens atop cornbread mash. All were good but just too close? Cod was also excellent, like the pork loin, cooked perfectly. And the wine list was quite good. Had a peach cobbler for dessert, walnut fudge, and a peanut tart; all were American-sweet so I will defer opinions on that to someone who likes American-sweet dishes.

    Beautiful atmosphere for dinner! I recommend going right before sundown for a fuller patio…read moreexperience. If you have the choice, choose seating near the olive trees. Food was overall great. We ordered the Brussel sprouts, wagyu skewers, burrata, and spicy tuna crispy rice for our appetizers. For our entree, we shared the lemon pasta and branzino. We finished off with the Mandarin Tart. Of the appetizers, the Brussel sprouts seemed the most unique and flavorful. They're tossed in a kimchi sauce, so it has a nice mild spice. The wagyu unfortunately had an unpleasant meat smell (maybe not super fresh), and the spicy tuna crispy rice was nothing special - good but only worth ordering if you're really craving it. Our server told us the lemon pasta was very "lemon-forward," but it was not as tangy as I anticipated. If you're on the fence, staff will recommend dishes that pair well with the lemon pasta! We enjoyed it with our branzino because this palate was much more simple. For special events and celebrations, Ysabel will give you an enjoyable experience.

    I'm giving this one because the hostess let about 11 of us wait in line without even recognizing us…read moreor telling us what was going on all she talked on the phone for about 10 minutes. The food was about a three but unbelievable that they can't have someone helping the host or telling the hostess that she needs to acknowledge the customers when they come in and let them know what's going on. So unprofessional. Also to note the restaurant wasn't busy. There were six waiters just hanging around talking to each other so they could've helped with all this or the manager could've gotten some help for the hostess, but she was left alone and either was not trained really well or the management is really bad and needs to get on this. Also, she said no tables were open at the main part of the restaurant so we had to sit at the bar and we ate at the bar, but no one took those tables and there were about six waiters still just talking and waiting around so we could've easily eaten there, so I don't know what she was talking about As for the food it was OK nothing great. The chicken schnitzel was overcooked and fried a little bit too much and the rigatoni was OK but if you want good pasta, you should really go to Madeo or Ebaldi so nothing to write about here in general if you just wanna try some other places, this is fine, but don't expect the best or maybe we just didn't have the right dishes

    Had a great happy hour/dinner experience here. HH prices are around $14 per cocktail, which I think…read moreis pretty reasonable for WeHo. I believe the spicy vodka pizza was also $14 and very good. Didn't love the flavor of the bone marrow dish, but I like the presentation. Service and ambiance were great. I would definitely come again.

The live DJ on industry Sunday night set the vibe as you grab an espresso martini or beer as an intimate group also enjoys small bites and cocktails around you. It's definitely dim lights, enjoyable location. I would however stay away from anything other than a snack from this location. We grabbed the steak and fries, unfortunately, the title of Wagyu is lacking. The steak itself is very tough, and the gravy that was on top was not particularly enjoyable. I did enjoy the fries though so I will say a nice crispy fry with a little bit of greenery on top was decent. Along with the Wagyu lacking, the steak tartar was also not a good idea. Maybe it was just an off night to have steak at this location, but I would definitely be weary of ordering. Even though the food was lacking it in a major way. The staff was not, the cocktails were wonderful, and every single person can work. There was over the talk, friendly and nice.

Parking: We opted for valet, but if you prefer to find your own parking, there's street parking as well as a nearby parking garage. I believe the garage is around $23 for the full day, unless you're able to get your parking validated. Food: Everything came out pretty quickly, so we didn't have to wait long at all! For starters, we shared the Bruschetta with Burrata, which was enough for all four of us to enjoy. The baguette was perfectly toasted, and the burrata was so creamy. It was a great way to start the meal. Once we finished our starter, our main courses came out. We ordered the Funghi Pizza, Rigatoni Vodka, Six Cheese Tortelloni, and Spaghetti Carbonara. The pastas were creamy and flavorful, although they did feel a bit heavy. Of the four dishes, the table favorite was definitely the Funghi Pizza. It was very cheesy, and the combination of the mushrooms and cheese made it a standout for us. We ended our night with the Panna Cotta, which wasn't too sweet, but overall felt a little underwhelming compared to the rest of the meal. Service/Ambiance: The service was great! When we first walked in, it wasn't too busy, but the restaurant did start to fill up later into our meal. Even with it getting busier, our waiter continued to check in on us and made sure we were taken care of. Overall: We had a great experience celebrating our birthdays here! The food came out quickly, the service was attentive, and everything we tried was enjoyable. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other dishes!

Funny, because before…read moreI read this, my immediate reaction when I walked in the door this weekend was that it reminded me of some of the breezy upscale restaurants I grew up with at the Jersey Shore. And, Miami. And even at the marinas in San Diego, San Francisco, and Sausalito. The Henry is very large and open, yet, with all the light streaming in, the soft blues and greys keep the atmosphere sophisticated, subdued, and cool. You immediately feel the calm and these days, especially in the city, we can use a good deal of decompressing. It was almost an audible "aaaahhhhh" that my brain whispered when we sat down at our roomy booth. We were there for brunch and the menu was wonderful for me, a lifelong vegetarian. There were multiple items I wanted to try but I usually stick to an appetizer, main, dessert, and beverage. I am not a big eater at one sitting. Between us, everything we ordered was superb. The descriptions were pretty familiar, but the tastes were elevated. And the presentations were unique too -- see my photos. Michael, our server, was efficient but warm and friendly too. That makes such a difference. From beginning to end he took care of us, checking occasionally to get our enthusiastic thumbs-up, and then bringing us sturdy containers and a roomy thick shopping bag to take home the leftovers. We stuffed ourselves but still took home half of the generous portions we were given. The tab was beyond reasonable too, especially for Beverly Hills! Nice music -- not too loud, just enough to give a cheerful vibe in the background; clean appointments; quality furnishings; giant spotless windows; pretty wallcoverings; comfortable seating -- everything was just right, Goldilocks-worthy. This is the kind of place to return to again and again. Garage parking at the complex for $15 was so easy, clean surroundings in the neighborhood with some famous retail nearby for browsing, just 40 minutes from home. IOW, perfect!

We tried the pasta bolognese, mac & cheese, and filet with asparagus and a loaded potato. Everything looked fine, but for a restaurant at this price point, I expected much more in both presentation and flavor. The dishes were fairly basic and nothing really stood out or made me want to order it again. The filet was cooked well but missing a char and flavor, but the overall plate felt a little uninspired, and the pastas were missing that richness and depth of flavor I was hoping for. Not a bad meal by any means, but when you factor in the price and expectations, it just didn't deliver for me.
