Its hard to find elevated dining which is also kid friendly. Kali goes out of their way on their website to let you know that kids are welcome. The atmosphere is casual while the food is fine dining at its best. Highly recommend.

Loved the restaurant’s quaintness. Our reservation was for 7p but as the evening progressed the music level became too much. Having a normal conversation became a shouting match. The DJ should’ve lowered the music, The food and staff were amazing; especially the Lamb Chops

It was half an hour to closing so it was quiet inside. We really appreciated getting a reservation last minute and that they were so accommodating at 9:30pm. We were quick to not be disrespectful being the last ones in there or to keep the staff too late (hate being those people). We had the Caesar salad and the lettuce was cold and crisp. Our bone in ribeye sliced was the perfect medium rare. My favorite side dish that I rarely get to have is the lobster Mac and cheese. The best Mac and cheese around with cavatappi pasta noodles. We also took a carrot cake home because that is also one of my favorite carrot cakes in all of LA. We were celebrating my fiancé coming home from a successful work trip so it was the perfect ending to our date night after picking him up from the airport. We had never been to the LA location and it is just as wonderful as the other Flemings locations.
