    It’s convenient to eat at Abernethy’s before the opera or theater. Service was friendly and efficient. There is a limited menu by rotating guest chefs. I had the salmon, which was delicious, but I thought the wild rice had too much maple flavor. There is a decent wine list and some specialty cocktails. My partner usually has a Bloody Mary, but he didn’t like their version, an umami Bloody Mary. We will probably look for somewhere else next time.

    Excellent indigenous ingredients based menu. Excellent food, this chef was not a diversity hire.

    Chose Anernathy’s because of its perfect location for dinner before a performance at the LA Music Center. Lovely patio, excellent food and drinks. Prompt service.

    The menu was extremely limited and the food was disappointing. For example: Huevos rancheros should be served with 2 eggs not 1. Each dish served to my party of 3 was dry and bare bones. The overall quality of the food was far below what I would expect for the venue and price point.

    This is my second visit to Abernethy’s with Chef Pyet I was there for brunch on Saturday. I ordered the guacamole to start. It was perfectly seasoned with crispy tortilla chips. For my entree I ordered huevos rancheros. It was a perfect meal. The presentation is very appealing. I definitely enjoyed my meal and hope to return again. It was a little cool so I had inside seating but on a warm day the outside seating is very pleasant.

    Food tasted great but service was horrible! One of our four got their meal after the other three were finished.

    Innovative and delicious food! We had both vegetarians and non-vegetarians in our party, and everyone found something to love. Our meal was brunch before a matinee at the Ahmandson: the timing worked well, but I'm glad we had made a reservation.
