    If you are lucky enough to score on of the 6 tables at Da Barbara you will not be disappointed. The setting is not what you expect - a small intimate restaurant in a live/work loft in Hollywood and you wonder how such amazing food comes out of the small open kitchen and prepared by Barbara herself. The rest of the staff is amazing and you are made to feel like your first time there is your 21st! Make a reservation and be prepared to have an extraordinary experience.

    We absolutely love Musso and Frank, in a short time it has become our go-to place for special occasions, birthdays, treat yourself kind of evenings. All of the staff here is amazing, Craig was top-notch and I hope he serves us again. But all of the servers here are fantastic and truly make this dinner an experience. The food almost comes second but it is AMAZING! Steaks cooked perfectly well, refreshing wedge, and my favorite that jellied consommé (though they were out of it last night sadly). Love the martini’s with their little sidecar and some beautiful wines on the menu. The front desk staff always honor our booth requests and ensure they get us a perfect table. Can’t wait for our next visit!

    The reservations were down but they welcomed us in. It wasn’t busy plenty of space. Our waitress was awesome and the other servers as well. As they came by to serve very helpful with our questions. We will be back. I was really hoping that Danny Trejo would have been there. But it’s okay we’ll be back awesome food awesome service thanks again.

    Really awesome experience. We did the bread and Caesar salad as apps which were amazing. Our server did a really nice job pairing wines for us. Brown butter ravioli was decadent and excellent. Loved the butternut squash tortellini, sweet winter pasta. Pro Tip: save some bread to dip in the pasta sauce. Did the Bunet for desert, I didn't love it but my partner did. It was a little too overwhelmingly almondy for me. I would try something different next time. But overall, one of the best meals I've ever had. Every bite was a delight and I will definitely be coming back. Service was excellent. Great choice for a date night.
