    The most delicious turkey we have ever eaten for Thanksgiving dinner. The salmon was flavorful as well, and the portions were generous, and we had leftovers.

    Not sure how I missed chef Mairinger having a restaurant opened up again since January. I loved his “Bierbeisl” restaurant back in the day. “Lustig” was absolutely fabulous! We started with the “Bigeye Tuna Canoli”, and we had a veal “Wiener Schnitzel” and a Sausage Sampler as mains. Absolutely excellent food. We finished with the “Strudel Cigars” and added a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream to it. Icing on the cake. Service was also top notch, and Chef Mairinger came out at the end to ask for our opinion. While it is on the pricier side, it is worth every penny, and we definitely will be back! Glad to see he’s back on the map, so to speak!

    This was, without a doubt, one of the top 5 dining experiences of my life; I told the waiter it was the USA's answer to Noma. Unbelievably creative, visually stunning, absolutely delicious food with exquisite service; it should be on everyone's bucket list.

    The food here is truly amazing, an easy recommendation. The service was amazing always met with a smile. and truly never felt like I was left out. The ambience was great and something fairly unique not the reason you should go to this place but nice nevertheless. Each dish truly felt like I was going back to something amazing- they all had great profiles that would compliment the other dishes very well. everything I ate seemed well thought out and truly wonderful. an easy recommendation to anyone looking to grab food in LA.
