    From the moment we got there they were very attentive and friendly. The head security guard helped us get checked in and made sure we were ok by checking on us. Our server was absolutely great!! This was our first time there and he made sure that he explained everything to us and helped us with everything we needed. The food was AMAZING!! To the flavors and quality of it. The manager even came to our table to make sure we were okey. This first experience will definitely have us coming back for sure. Everyone was very Friendly and the customer service was 5 stars!

    Dined last night for our anniversary and was provided a lovely card (upon arrival) and brownie a la mode after our meal. Terry was our waiter for the evening. He was attentive, honest, and provided helpful recommendations. My partner got the 12 oz filet and I chose the branzino. Only comment is that the sauce on the fish was bland. It needed more taste.

    Superior service experience and delicious food. It is spendy, but completely delivers if your expectations are a classy and classic West Hollywood experience with charm and a gorgeous view. Anthony's over/above service while waiting in the bar area was precious.

    It was excellent. Open table gave us a reservation. However, you were not open yet so we talked to the sheriff in the parking lot. Lots of yellow tape.
