    As always impeccable service! Excited to make the tree lighting a yearly tradition to kick off the holiday season. The parking was abysmal I would recommend hiring more valet drivers for such massive events in the future ;D

    We made a reservation for 7pm and there was a hockey game at the arena next door so it was super crowded and super loud inside. We were seated right away and our server was very good. After the game started at 7:30 the crowd thinned out and we were able to have a normal volume conversation instead of yelling at each other from 2 feet away. The food was prepared and served quickly and everything was delicious. The chocolate cake dessert recommended by our server was sooo good.

    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.

    We went to Aro Latin before the UCLA game at the Rose Bowl. The tacos were so delicious, we had to order another round. Margaritas were amazing. Staff was incredibly friendly. Will definitely go back!
