    Our 3rd visit this summer and like previous two, everything was Fantastic! Can't recall our server's name in June (woman), but Dlshe was wonderful. Then Diiego in July and Leon last night were superb! We love the ambiance, outside, and the music Playlist too. And the food...all choices were well presented and incredibly delicious. Thank you to everyone! We will see you again in FALL hopefully, if my husband's business sends him to LA again.

    Showed up for an early Wednesday night dinner at opening, 5:00. Very limited parking, only found one space, but they have valet service if you need it. Very cool industrial vibe on the inside. We were the second couple in but 20 minutes later the place was packed which was a good sign. Got seated and greeted very quickly. I ordered an old fashioned which was delicious. Ordered the mussels and clam appetizer, the mushroom and guanciale pizza and the squid ink pasta with lobster. Everything was super delicious. Our server was excellent and everyone around payed attention to the table, filled your water, and just checked up on you in general. Not a fan of the chairs, they look cool but the wife and I had sore behinds when we left. Overall great experience, highly recommended!

    First timer here and we were not disappointed in any way. We were two professionals grabbing a bite to eat and discussing professional opportunities (for context only). Got there for a six o'clock reservation, which is before the restaurant fills up, which it did over the course of the next three hours. Clearly very popular. We were served by Madeline, and she was terrific. She shared recommendations and helped us build our meal based on our preferences and tastes, and what she knew. Together, we hit a homerun. We concur with her recommendations: Asian Pear Pizza(!), Flat Iron Steak, Lamb Hummus, and Roasted Beets. We did finish the meal with a slice of "The Best Cake." Great service! Great Food! Will definitely go again.
