    food, service, and ambiance was great! the mashed potatoes were the best i've ever had!! Burrata Salad - 4/5 Oysters - pretty fresh! 5/5 Wagyu Nigiri - 5/5 melts in your mouth BTS roll - 4/5 not bad not the best Truffle Fries - 5/5 cooked & seasoned to perfection! Ribeye - 4.5/5 Desserts were good. Would come back again! :)

    Valentine's Day at Red Fish truly felt like a couples' holiday. The entire atmosphere was centered around celebrating love dim lighting, full tables, and that unmistakable date-night energy. It was a beautiful place to spend the evening. As soon as we walked in, we were seated right away, which I appreciated especially on such a busy night. The restaurant was packed, and for a short while we did feel a bit forgotten but once things got moving, the service flowed much better. Because it was so busy, it's not necessarily a place where you feel individually catered to during peak holidays. One small suggestion would be for servers to introduce a popular or featured dish upfront to help guide guests when the room is full. That said, the food and drinks were really good and absolutely worth it. Everything we ordered was flavorful and well-prepared. I do wish I had tried dessert I'll definitely save that for next time. Overall, it was a lovely Valentine's experience, and I would return for another special occasion.

    We've been meaning to try The Red Fish for a while but never got around to it until now, but I'm so happy we did! I read all the reviews and decided to give it a go and it did not disappoint. There really is something on the menu for everyone and there wasn't one thing we didn't enjoy to the absolute max. I've eaten at so many sushi places in LA, and I'm not joking when I say this is some of the best nigiri I've ever had; shockingly fresh and succulent. I can't wait to come back and try the Bluefin tuna rolls , I could eat this sushi everyday. If you still have room for house made dessert, do not skip it; the cheesecake was excellent and the crème brûlée was to die for. The service is excellent and the environment is so nice. Special shoutout to Hunter who really made our evening super fun and relaxing. Do not sleep on this place, it's amazing and we'll be back with friends and family.

    Great sushi in a beautiful new space. The service was excellent, not rushed, we had several rolls and an amazing Bronzino appetizer. The rolls were creative and not the usual. We will be going back again.

    I can't never say no to caviar and gold flakes on my sushi rolls! When driving on Melrose and craving seafood, we stopped by the Red Fish for their upscale seafood and sushi options! We got their: Japanese Salad Yellowtail Carpaccio Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice Golden Roll Lemon Roll BTS Roll Matcha Tempura Ice Cream Yuzu Whiskey Sour Every single thing we got was delicious! My favorite rolls were the BTS and Lemon Rolls, and I could probably eat another plate or two of their Japanese salad. The spicy tuna crispy rice came as expected, and the yellowtail carpaccio was light and refreshing. They have a great selection of cocktails to pair with your meal, and you need to get their tempura ice cream for dessert. It's a great spot to go for a relaxed date night while enjoying some cocktails and elevated sushi rolls. There's a decent amount of street parking around, but they also have valet when it gets busy. Definitely recommend stopping by!

    This review is for the social hour only. We dropped in early on a weeknight and ordered several food and drink items from the "social hour" menu. It had quite a good selection for a happy hour, and very good prices. The outstanding items were the spicy scallop hand roll, the spicy tuna cut roll, and the fried tempura branzino bites. The branzino was very lightly breaded and fried to a nice crispy texture without being overly oily. The one miss was the fried calamari which had a much heavier breading. The rainbow roll was fine but I've had better. The service was very good. Granted there weren't many people there at such an early hour (5pm) on a weeknight, but Patricio the bartender was super nice and attentive. The restaurant underwent a major renovation and recently opened, and it shows.

    9/10 Overall: I really enjoyed the food here; the fish was incredibly fresh, and everything tasted amazing. The ambiance is also beautiful, very intimate, and perfect for a celebration or a nice dinner with loved ones! My bf and I came here for our anniversary, and they gave us a dessert on the house. It was wonderful! My only concern was the service; it was a bit slow considering there weren't that many people at the restaurant. It took us quite a while to get the bill and leave, especially since we were trying to catch some 4th of July fireworks and ended up missing them :( Bluefin tuna carpaccio $32: 5/5 My favorite thing we got! So fresh and yummy, no fishy taste at all! The slices were also pretty generous. Toro tartare with caviar $32: 5/5 Super fresh, the avocado was amazing as well! Came with four chips which went perfectly with the tartare. I wish they gave a little more chips though! BTS roll $25: 5/5 Generous portions of salmon and tasted sooo yummy. Again, fish is so fresh you can really taste the quality! Good rice to fish ratio. Lamb chops $65: 4/5 Lamb chops were very tender and the purple potato chips paired sooo well with the lamb! The chimichurri was also delicious but I do think its a bit pricey for 3 small lamb chops. Spicy tuna crispy rice $25: 3.5/5 I wish the rice was a bit crispier. The amount of tuna was very generous though and again, very fresh fish! Truffle fries $18: 3/5 I'm not a super big fan of thicker fries, I wish they were thinner and more crispy! I didn't taste much truffle either, I wish there was a bit more flavor. Lava Cake: 4/5 Comped by the restaurant for our anniversary! Super cute and was yummy. The ice cream came half melted though.

    Happy hour (social hour) is amazing! The rock shrimp is one of the best I've ever had and the sushi is so fresh. Sat at the bar and Patricio was so kind and efficient. This place is such a gem, will 1000% be back

    YUM! Food, ambiance, service -- all amazing! Very intimate, dimly lit restaurant perfect for date night or a special occasion! Red fish margarita -- sooo good! Very refreshing, light, and cool bubbly presentation! Lemon roll -- delicious!! Please order if you like citrusy sushi! Albacore carpaccio -- my favorite! The crispy onions and hidden jalapeños were the perfect combination! Lobster ravioli - delicious sweet potato sauce, but we do wish the serving was larger! Nigiri -- yum! Sexy roll -- refreshing and great choice if you don't want a roll with rice! Mashed potatoes -- crispy onions?! Genius! Filet mignon - tender, juicy, and perfectly roasted and charred on the edges! Totally recommend visiting this spot! It's a little on the pricey side, but it had a great variety of foods if you and your partner are split on what to eat! Everyone was also very kind and professional, which made the experience much more enjoyable!

    This is a very nice restaurant in West Hollywood. The food is very pretty and service is exceptional. It's a bit pricey but I think it's worth it for a celebration. Fish sushi are good and cooked dishes are very good. I won't recommend A5 wagyu since it's very chewy and not melt-in-the-mouth like other places I've tried. They have happy hours that save quite a lot for the appetizers.

    Albacore, salmon, smoked salmon, salmon belly

    This restaurant has the best sushi I have ever eaten in ALL of California. The sashimi, nigiri and sushi rolls were so fresh. The wagyu melted in our mouths and the pancakes were so tasty. Also the service was OUTSTANDING. Levi gave us the best service we have ever had. He was so knowledgeable, sweet and went above and beyond to make sure our experience at the restaurant was great. The ambiance is amazing as well. We will we back! Thank you for the best dining experience Levi!

    Sushi!!!!

    Literally the best sushi in town! I love the Red Fish! We order from here at least once a week! The fish is so fresh and delicious and the sushi actually tastes good when you bring it home. So excited about this place!

    This spot is such a gem! Not only is their food amazing, but their social hour is insanely priced! Hunter is the best waiter, ask to sit at his table! Thank me later.

The restaurant is beautiful and reminds me of being in Mexico. A Spanish theme and style. A lot of seating and it's also spacious with an outdoor patio that is open to the customers and also widely used for many event. Everything was clean from what I noticed. The music volume was tolerable as well as the selection of choice. Felt like I was on vacation for a min. A great spot to have drinks. A great to spot to meet up or even come for a date. The Melrose Mule was cool. Very refreshing like the bartender mentioned. It was different than the usual mules I get. And the Improved Whiskey was like having an Old Fashion and Whiskey Sour together. It did not disappoint. I also had an attentive bartender who had a good attitude. Didn't take long for him to make my drinks nor put in an order for a smash burger. The smash burger was acceptable. It was good, however, I was expecting something a little bit bigger in size. I like the presentation with it being wrapped in foil. It was cooked perfectly, it was hot and flavorful. No complaints other than the size. I wouldn't mind pulling back up for another happy hour when I'm back in the area. They have some more drinks I would love to try.

    Met Him At A Bar absolutely delivered. From the moment we walked in, the immaculate decor and…read moreadorable patio created such a warm, inviting atmosphere that made us want to stay awhile. The food was just as memorable. The chicken Parmesan was everything you want it to be: crispy, flavorful, and topped with a rich, perfectly balanced marinara and plenty of melted cheese. The Rigatoni Vodka (we added a meatball) was equally impressive. The vodka sauce was creamy without being overly heavy, and the meatball was tender, well seasoned, and packed with flavor. One thing to know before you go: parking can be a nightmare. There is valet in front, or you can opt for parking in the surrounding neighborhood. You're better off grabbing a rideshare if you can. It makes the experience much easier, especially if you plan on enjoying a few drinks. Between the beautiful ambiance, generous portions, and delicious food, this is an easy recommendation. We'll definitely be back.

    Last night, four of us got together for dinner at Met Him At A Bar for Dine LA. We originally…read morewanted to try another restaurant, but it was completely booked, so we looked for somewhere new to explore. Met Him At A Bar seemed like a good option, and one of my girlfriends made a reservation for four. Our reservation was at 7:00 PM. I street-parked and walked to the restaurant, where one of my friends was waiting outside. I asked why she wasn't sitting at our table, and she told me that our table was right by the entrance. She didn't like that spot and thought the tables farther inside looked much more comfortable and cozy. Since people were sitting at one of those tables, she wanted to wait until they left. Personally, I thought the table by the entrance was perfectly fine, but I was also STARVING! Another friend arrived and also disliked the table, so we decided to wait. After a while, I was getting way too hungry, so we sat at the bar and ordered an appetizer and drinks while waiting. I first ordered the Garlic Shrimp and asked if it was spicy. I was told it was, so I asked if they could make it without the spice because I can't eat spicy food. He said he would check with the kitchen, but since I was starving and it sounded like it might take too long, I changed my order to Garlic Bread. One of my girlfriends ordered a glass of wine, and since she had made the reservation and gone through the trouble of arranging everything, I treated her to the wine and garlic bread. Then, of course, our friend who is ALWAYS late arrived about 30 minutes late! By then, the rest of us had already decided what to order from the Dine LA menu. We wanted to try as many dishes as possible, so we ordered different items and shared everything. When our late friend arrived, we ordered his dishes separately. For the first course, we had Caesar Salad, Bruschetta, and Meatballs. For the second course, we ordered Rigatoni Vodka, Cacio e Pepe, and Margherita Pizza. For dessert, everyone ordered Tiramisu. Overall, I thought the food was good. My favorites were the Bruschetta, Meatballs, Rigatoni Vodka, and Tiramisu. The Cacio e Pepe was not my favorite because I thought they used way too much black pepper, and my other friends agreed. Our group had mixed reactions overall. Except for one person, the other two felt the food didn't quite live up to their expectations and were somewhat disappointed. But everyone's taste is different, so I completely understand. Considering how expensive everything has become these days, I thought the Dine LA price was pretty reasonable. It was $45 per person, and with tax and tip, it came to $60 each. For that price, I thought the amount of food and the overall experience were pretty good. I also really appreciated how friendly and attentive all the staff members were. I usually don't drink alcohol, and especially when I'm driving, I NEVER drink--not even a sip. That has been my personal rule for decades. So I just ordered water, and I loved how the staff kept coming by and refilling my glass whenever it got low. I drink a LOT of water, so I really appreciated their attentiveness. Now, about parking: valet parking is $17. I decided to street-park instead. One of my friends also street-parked, but unfortunately she got a parking ticket and was VERY upset. I had originally found a spot where a sign said a parking permit was required, so I decided not to take the risk and moved my car. Before leaving, I asked a man walking his dog if it was okay to park there. He said he had seen many cars parked there and they had been fine, but I still didn't trust it because the sign clearly said permits were required. I told him, "I don't think that's allowed." He was very nice and suggested going about three blocks farther, where there was plenty of street parking without a permit. I followed his advice and parked there. Unfortunately, my friend who stayed in the permit-only spot ended up getting a ticket. Another friend parked in the parking structure across the street and said it cost $18. Since I had parked farther away and didn't want to walk alone at night, I asked him to drop me off at my car after dinner, and he kindly did. So my parking recommendation is to use the $17 valet or street-park about three blocks away where no permit is required. I definitely would NOT recommend parking in the permit-only spaces unless you want to risk getting a ticket. One of the funniest things about this neighborhood is the restaurant names. The restaurant we went to is called "Met Him At A Bar," and literally right across the street is "Met Her At A Bar." There's also another restaurant called "The Night We Met." I have to say, the names are pretty creative and definitely make this neighborhood more fun! Overall, we had a fun evening together, and for $60 per person including tax and tip, I thought it was a pretty decent Dine LA experience.

However, there is no food menu just alcoholic drinks. I found parking across the street where the CVS & WholeFoods are located. I didn't have any issues, but I only parked there for about 2 hours. Right before I left, the bartenders helped me discover a secret entrance to the bar next door. When you walk in you'll notice a bookshelf, if you slide that bookshelf to the right, you'll open the entrance to the bar next door. Pretty cool! Will definitely come back again.
