Good for special occasions
Great for outdoor dining

An ode to the tastes of L.A., the new menu includes something for everyone with delicious original creations like the carnitas baos and the baby romaine wrapped fried oysters along with some good old classics like the pan roasted salmon as well as some vegan options.

Ad essere onesti, meglio di quanto immaginassi di trovare. Camerieri molto gentili e premurosi e carne di ottima qualità, a dispetto delle foto che ho visto nelle recensioni. Tra il resto ho preso una costata, la quale aveva in superficie delle spezie, che non ne coprivano il sapore, che la fanno sembrare più scura ma era cotta perfettamente. Location del ristorante un po’ periferica ma tutto sommato passabile.

I expected a lot more people for Mother’s Day brunch but it was only about half full which was perfect for us. The food was good. Service was great. If they had some music playing that would’ve been the icing on the cake but we enjoyed ourselves.

Booked a reservation, was seated at a bar in a different area, not told the actual restaurant would be unavailable for my res- plus it opened late. Disappointed beyond belief in esterel’s lack of communication

While the host and ambiance were exceptional, I must express my disappointment with the food service. Despite our anticipation for a memorable meal, we encountered several issues that detracted from the overall experience. Firstly, the food lacked flavor and freshness. It seemed as though some items may have been prepared in advance, resulting in a loss of quality and taste. Additionally, the wait time of 45 minutes for our food was longer than expected, leading to a sense of frustration and impatience. As valued patrons, my partner and I had hoped for a delightful culinary experience to celebrate the occasion. Unfortunately, the shortcomings in the food service overshadowed an otherwise pleasant evening.

Great service and ambiance, but very average food considering the price. I love a good buffet, but the food taste and quality I’d say was a $45 value, not $85. The desserts were the best thing of the whole meal, shout out to the pastry chef. As far as the rest of the food: the prime rib was decent, chicken was dry, fish was very flavorful and moist but overly salty, shrimp and brussels sprouts were dry and bland, sweet potatoes and mac and cheese were delicious, orzo salad was very tasty and fresh, also there was a really nice charcuterie spread with some grilled veggies. I would not return here again for any kind of holiday buffet.

The Thanksgiving prefix meal was underwhelming. It was basic turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, and mushy green beans all of which was absolutely smothered in gravy, We ordered an additional vegetable side dish to add some texture and flavor to the meal.
