We had a really nice experience here. The set up is unique with the bar downstairs and our bartender Haley (sp?) was super friendly and helpful with her recs for the restaurant. The food was really delicious which we actually didn’t expect given the overall theme of the restaurant and complex. We’ll definitely come back here. Oh and the images projected on the exterior of the building are really fun, especially when you catch them on your way out!

BBQ in LA is not as widespread and the joints we have are not that great. Maple Block is a rare exception. Their brisket is to die for. Great service and very laid back atmosphere. This place is a must.
