A very nice restaurant. Unfortunately, there was a very strong storm and we had to take everything in hand. This made the room a little louder. The personal service was very accommodating. I would definitely go back.

Very creative and delicious eclectic dishes. Same for the cocktails. Attentive and helpful service. But who really wants loud background music on a Monday ( or any ) Night?

Outstanding food and service. Steak frites were delicious and the beef was so tender. The trout almondine was perfectly prepared — buttery delicate with crispy skin. The only complaint is the martini is small and pricey at $23.50.

Had a wonderful time celebrating my partner's birthday. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the restaurant's ambiance was perfect. We loved the location and the decorations, it's a beautiful restaurant, it reminded me of old L.A. We will definitely be coming back for more.
