Really awesome experience! Maria S was our server and she was the sweetest. It was my mom’s bday and we just decided to go for lunch. Didn’t realize there wasn’t valet parking for lunch so went in circles trying to figure out parking - park in the visitor underground parking garage of the US bank building. Restaurant will validate 2 hours of parking for $10 (instead of $40). Loved all the food. Ceviche was fresh, the pasta appetizer felt like a huge portion, hanger steak and smashed fried potatoes were divine, and the seared ahi tuna over veggies/salad was refreshing and light. The view is grand and made the meal feel so worth it.

Our birthday celebration was terrific. Maybe the food could have been hotter when delivered but it was all delicious: Duck, Filet, pasta, prawns, focaccia, buratta and the cocktails were very nice. Terrific service. Thank you

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.
