Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in Mid-Wilshire

I always start with Hamachi sushi when first going to a sushi restaurant. The Hamachi was tender, not overly cold, and the rice was substantial enough to hold the fish but not hard or cold, again a great temperature. Thank being delicious, everything we ordered was great. I especially like the cod bite w/ miso. Prices are a bit high but the overall quality of this restaurant is great and based on its reputation lives up to the hype

We were very pleased with the delicious meal we made from several small plates/appetizers, which were all perfectly prepared and nicely presented. Among the stars were the meatballs, macaroni and cheese and Brussels sprouts. But do not leave without trying the Cracked Potatoes, little chunks that are pillowy soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, with something that added an addictive umami kick. We also found cocktails and wine that perfectly complemented our diverse assortment of dishes.

The highlights were the cocktails, and I loved that they had an NA cocktail option for our group. The outdoor patio is right on Hollywood boulevard, but you feel like you are in a private oasis tucked away and surrounded by plants! Would definitely dine again and cannot wait to try their new THERE THERE concept, opening soon.

Connor, was our server. He provided professional & thoughtful service to us, again. Jemma is an outstanding restaurant w/ excellent food. It allows us to conveniently park next door, & dine there, before attending the Pantages. And storing & refrigerating our leftovers, to be reclaimed after the theater, is sheer genius; along w/ pairing a couple of menu items w/ the current Pantages performance.

Such a fun spot and the avocado toast was amazing
