The pizza tasted weird. Although they used wild mushrooms, I did not taste the truffle at all. I don't know why the taste was off putting. The burger was juicy and flavorful. The chicken wings were boneless, crispy and delicious. The salmon curry had depth in flavor and the sauce was addictive. The Brussels sprouts were also very good. Our bill was around $194, including tip.

Our waiter, Victor, was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. The food was excellent--our favorites were the skirt steak and the salmon. The mac and cheese was truly to die for. We also finished the meal with amazing desserts, including the lemon dessert and a caramel dessert, both of which were outstanding. To top it all off, the coffees were great at the end of dinner. We'll definitely be back!

Food, ambiance and service all hit the spot!…read more We were a group of 7 and everything arrived timely, hot and well presented. We came for dinner but they were able to accommodate us with sandwiches from the lunch menu. We had a vegan in our group and our server offered recommendations for sandwich options and sides. The menu has a wide variety of choices including plant based, gluten free and vegan options. So many of the choices sounded good. I didn't want anything too heavy so I narrowed down to the little gem Caesar salad and added grilled chicken. It was the right portion and what set it apart was the nested little gem leaves dusted with finely shaved Parmesan. I tasted the farmhouse beets that one person ordered and the blend of arugula and beets with candied pecans and feta was the perfect balance of flavor and texture. The one member of our group that didn't care for her meal ordered the Thai ginger salad and they didn't charge for it when she mentioned it was spicer than she expected. The space has a great vibe. There's outdoor seating and the interior space is very open and has a lot of window space and light. There's also ample bar seating. They can also accommodate groups. The server charged us all individually for what we ordered which was very accommodating and really appreciated. It was a great dining experience overall.

There is both an indoor and somewhat outdoor area, so if you want something, a little quieter and high-end or more of a sports bar, they have both. I love the twinkly lights outside too. The service was fantastic. They were all efficient. I was on crutches so they sent me right away in a close spot surrounding area areas were so annoying and loud and nobody ever approached me the way this business did. They do it right.

I've ordered from here numerous times on Uber Eats- they do have good food…read more HOWEVER, my mom sister and I went to the actual restaurant yesterday and it was honestly a completely bizarre experience. The restaurant was basically empty, but the man who "served" us was so weird and rude... he was acting as if he was extremely busy and the way he was speaking to me from the moment I walked in was extremely rude and lowkey aggressive. I ordered sparkling rose and he brought me what looked like prosecco- I said is this rose? He literally acted like I came in there every day annoying him or something... it was truly strange. He insisted it was rose (it wasn't rose colored ) Anyway it wasn't the rose that was the problem, it was the way this weirdo was acting. It's hard to explain it bc it was so weird but I was SO UNCOMFORTABLE I insisted we leave. By the way, we'd been there for five minutes. We went to superba instead and it was such a better vibe. Like night and day. Would not recommend dining in at running goose.

A few weeks ago, I tried a sample of a Venison burger at Sprouts and it was pretty amazing. I felt…read morethat I needed to try this here as well. My friend just flew in for a day because his relative had forgot her passport and needed to travel to Korea, so we stopped here. He missed a few meetings, a vet appointment and other things, but also saved the day, otherwise his relative wouldn't have been able to make it to Korea. While here, they ordered a salad with cherries and pecans that was pretty amazing. I think that may have been one of the better salads I've eaten. In addition to that, a cucumber burrata salad was ordered, and that was made well too. When my venison burger arrived, I took a few bites and it had the exact flavor I was hoping for and I thought the burger was done extremely well. My friend also ordered a pork chop, and it was an amazing cut, cooked perfectly, tender, juicy and everything you could ever want in a bone in pork chop. They also cut the entire piece for you and scraped every last bit off of the bone too. The service is really attentive. They come by your table a lot to ensure you have everything you need. The ambiance is a bit dim in lighting which sets a nice mood. And the place just happens to be dog friendly too. Sorry for the lack of photos, but I didn't wanna intrude on everyone else's meals. However, if you come here, definitely try the salad with cherries and the venison burger or the pork chop!

Who says Filipino food can't be considered fine dining? Chef Josh Espinosa is showcasing how the…read moredishes we're accustomed to can be prepared with an elevated approach. Sampa is located in the Arts District near the intersection of S Hewitt St and E 5th right next to Urth Cafe. There's a parking lot directly across the street from the restaurant but you can also park around the corner by Arts District Park for $5. If it's your first time visiting Sampa, you have to be open minded towards the concept itself. Yes, the dishes here are smaller in portion and costs more than your typical fast casual spot. All the servers here are attentive and offer to help with what to order if you're unsure. For dinner, the Crispy Pasta is their take on crispy pata but served with spinach tagliatelle. The crab fat fried rice is a no brainer and depending on the night you come, I highly recommend the Sinigang xiaolongbao special. You don't have to be Filipino to appreciate what Sampa is doing for the culture, just come by and see for yourself.

The prosciutto and arugula salad was without equal. The Cavatelli alla Norcina was so good I thought I died and went to heaven. We ordered one of each dessert and they were all good.

I've been here a few times on…read morebirthdays and other special occasions, but this time around, I was at some event down the street and walked over here to get some food. We got the bone marrow, the herb Caesar salad and a pizza. The bone marrow was excellent, just as they always have been. It pairs well with their pasta that they mix it with. The Caesar salad was quite refreshing, and the herb dressing brought out a citrusy feeling throughout each bite, which was fun. The pizza was really good too. One thing I can say though is that as time goes by, the food in La just keeps getting better and better. While this place may have had showstopping pizza in 2018, a lot of other places have really upped their food game as well. But that's the great thing about innovation. We have places like this we can look at as staples, and then some new place just goes and outdoes it. I like bestia though. I'll probably come back a few more times too, now that the waitlist has stopped being over a month long. The service here is attentive. The ambiance is nice. It's a fun place to eat!

(+) CHEROKEE TOMATO CAESAR (+) SLICED CHEROKEE TOMATOES…read more(+) BEEF RIBEYE Dunsmoor is a trendy LA restaurant right now. Reservations are hard to come by but done through Open Table. Parking is available on the street, or valet for $15. Order one main entree and 3-4 appetizers/sides for two people. Even after that , we had leftovers. Great selection of wines available. Food: The meal is rich. My favorite is their Cherokee tomatoes. Plump, sweet and juicy. The tomato Caesar isn't your typical salad. It is a slice of tomato topped with dressing, basil, breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. One of my favorites this meal for its creativity and blend of flavors. Beef rib eye (32oz) is a lot for two people. Comes with bone marrow and sea salt to sprinkle on. Great char and flavor making it a good staple. The cornbread and cheddar & chive potatoes were ordinary. Nothing special. Loved the jalapeno addition to the cornbread. Service/Ambiance: Service is serviceable. Servers are friendly as expected with an establishment as this. Ambiance is bright and lively. Plenty of natural light. There are kitchen bar seats you can sit at where you can watch the kitchen staff cook, literally. Overall, a great tasting meal. It met my high expectations. Lots of oil and butter, so be prepared for a rich meal. Well done in my book. One of the top 10 best restaurants in terms of food and quality.

We waited quite a while for a couple seats at the bar (reservations are really difficult to find here) and once we sat we were met with a waitress with a severely brusque demeanor. Anyway, we started with the bluefin tuna toast which I could make myself at home. Not worth $25. We also got the "legendary" Edna's sour milk cornbread which I was so excited about but it did not live up to the hype. I found it rather dry- to enjoy it you must drench it in honey and butter. We ended with a steak that arrived surprisingly cold while the fries were piping hot. It's just another overhyped LA restaurant!
