My friends and I dined for New Year’s Day Brunch. We would like to ask that management consider having a fun pajama-themed brunch

This place needs a lesson in customer service. We decided to give it a try and were sorely disappointed. Service and value are primary issues. We had a party of 5 for brunch. The amount of shared appetizers was only enough for 2-3 people. 5 adults got the same amount of appetizers as tables with 2-3 adults. There was not enough for each of us to get a small portion. What’s worse is that we asked for another serving of fruit and it NEVER CAME. They brought a second serving of the trout and brought it out on a plate by itself. It comes with a few crudités on the side but I guess that would have been too much to expect. We ordered the ceviche and all I can say is horrible. Shallow flavors and barely any fish included. Total rip off. They should go have ceviche at many of the LA area restaurants that do it right…. full of flavor and fish portions that you can see and taste. We ordered a round of shots and never got them. None of us will ever go back. This place needs help. After expressing our concern, the did remove the drinks we had from our bill. That was a nice gesture but it would have been better to have good service and good food. We luv Baltaire which is their sister restaurant in Brentwood. There is absolutely no comparison

5 stars doesn’t even do this place justice. 10/10. Our first time here and on NYE and it was amazing. One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in LA. The steak, ceviche, and guac were delicious. Can’t wait to come back!!!

Good food, sauce on carbon pollo a little too salty. One of the ceviches was also too salty. Other than that, service was nice and ambiance was cute. Thank you!

Wonderful service! Parking is hard to find. All of the staff was very kind and they were nice enough to bring out a desert for our party’s birthday.
