    Our fare consisted of the Cod, Short Ribs, Shrimp and Steak Skewers, Chicken Meatballs, and the Sorbet Trio for dessert. Every morsel was taste and delightful to the palate. The prices were reasonable. The waiters were very pleasant and attentive. The ambiance, multiple seating levels, and ceiling aquarium visually pleasing. Valet parking convenient and only $14 bucks. The restroom clean and the circular black 45 spindle adapter walls were unique. Only disappointment was you only get 3 Skewers so if you are dinning with someone you have to resort to rock-paper-scissor to see who will get the 3rd delicious Skewer-maybe should offer at least 4. Also be careful ascending the stairs to the restaurant they are very steep. Overall a wonderful dinning experience and I highly recommend it (Thanks TikTok).

    Somerville was incredible! We were lucky to snag a reservation within their first month of opening. They offer valet ($15), though street parking seems pretty accessible. They have two lines at the front door— one for walk-ins (it looked like people waiting outside a club) and one for reservations. The inside is beautiful, pictures don’t do it justice! One thing to note: we noticed it’s not very accommodating to groups larger than 6 — we saw a group of 7 in a booth and they looked pretty squished. If you’re there for a date night or a smaller group, then seating shouldn’t be a problem. The food was phenomenal. All dishes were great, but I highly recommend the Manjari Torte dessert! It is hands-down one of the best desserts I’ve ever had!! We can’t wait for reservations to open up again so that we can go back! Somerville is one of a kind and such a great addition to the neighborhood.

    A gem located on the top floors of this landmark building adjacent to Pershing Square, downtown Los Angeles. It is a two elevator ride to the top where a restored "Perch" restaurant and bar are located. A opportunity to be seated at the perch viewing Los Angeles any time of day. Sunsets are extra special. You can view Los Angeles as it transforms from business to entertainment mode. Classic bar scene, delicious appetizers and an outstanding dining venue. If you love or hate LA, you will be charmed by Perch.
