Everything was wonderful. If I had a complaint it was that it took 30 minutes for the valet to retrieve our car. Beyond that, it was great.

Love the ambience and food was good. Very little bit salty lobster for me, but that depends on person. Limited food selection. Parking wise there is valet.

A fun & playful interior design that feels like an adult treehouse makes this a must see restaurant in LA. Food was quality but not jaw-dropping. Service was a little slow but the ambiance had us mesmerized and distracted. Much of the restaurant is under a partially covered roof, so temperature can vary. I’d suggest wearing layers.
