    We ate outside, 10 stories up and right across the street from Disney Hall with its magnificent spirals. This restaurant is in the Grande Hotel. Great location for the many music and other venues downtown. They could use more decor on the patio, which looks like someone bought a small apartment without enough room so you put all the extra stuff outside on the balcony. Lovely small menu. Great place to go before the Disney or Music Center. Food is well prepared and tasty.

    came here for brunch on a saturday with a reservation. the hostess and server were very nice and skilled. the steak and eggs were really good. biscuits and aguachile were good as well. i LOVE oysters, but i felt like maybe the carrot mignonette overpowered the oyster flavor a bit but that could just be personal preference. great ambiance. good people. good food. and i loved the garden and the chickens. this is a lovely place in a lovely area of LA. i would definitely come back!
