    We've been going to this location for 25 years now. My family prefers this location to others in the area (although they are all good!) because of it's busy-unfussy-neighborhood vibe, the great staff and the amazing food.

    We went at 11:30 for a 11:30 reservation and no one was there. The restaurant wasn’t open, they weren’t picking up their phone. We gave them 10 mins but then had to leave and find another restaurant.

    Slow service to start but must have been before the full dinner shift started. Food was great and the experience was way more energetic vs the now closed Santa Monica location. We'll definitely be back here to Pico.
