Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Asterid offers a delightful culinary experience with inventive dishes like the "spiced short rib" and "yuzu cassis dessert." Its convenient location is ideal for theater-goers, ensuring a memorable pre-show dining option. While service can be inconsistent, the atmosphere is lively, and the food presentation is commendable.

It's a nice restaurant in the Walt Disney aconcert Hall but you have to go outside for the entrance. They have a nice interior and very polished. Staff are nice and friendly, they are knowledgeable on which dishes come out fast because we have a show coming up in 1 hr. We feel like the rock cod is okay, nothing to special, but we don't think it's worth $45+ The mushroom risotto is good, a little salty for me , but my partner likes it. They have a delish cocktail, we got the asterid milky cocktail, they are sweet and strong. Overall, I think it's a little overpriced for the food, but since it's inside the concert hall and in dtla, I guess it's normal.

My friend and I wanted to place to grab a drink and lite bites before seeing a show at the Ahmanson the prices were a bit steep - this is more of a fancy date night out rather than a budget friendly.

The food portion is extremely small especially for the appetizers. Over all most of the dishes were tasty, just very tiny portion. Also, it may be my personal preference that I would prefer the waitress not to bother us too much by checking on us “robotically”. May be others would like being checked a hundred times during a meal while trying to have a conversation with families.

Our experience was good. The disappointment came when the menus were presented to us totally different than the menus that were online. We had selected this restaurant because of the menus and when we get there, we discovered that the restaurant is going through a transition of chefs so the menu was changing other than that Service was a little off. I think it took too long to bring the initial drink order about 10 minutes and the restaurant really wasn’t that crowded at the time when the food did arrive it was absolutely delicious. We tried some new things the roasted avocado, the shrimp/prawns. The honey butternut squash was amazing And overall, with an exception of that menu, which I think is a big thing experience was good.

We had an amazing dinner at Asterid. From beginning to end the experience was wonderful. From the staff who cared about us to the food that tasted out of this world. I highly recommend Asterrid and I will certainly return soon1

I had the short ribs and the flavors were so abundant and fantastic. The staff was kind and professional and the noise was remarkably low. Great place to go before a show.

Food was very good and service was pleasant but not as professional as it should have been (menus were left on table, a bit casual for the price)…. The beet plate was way overpriced for three small pieces of beet and three small pieces of endive on a huge plate. Basically excellent meal with only a couple of things I felt were not as professional as they should have been.
