    we’ve been dining at multiple restaurants now in LA but this one is by far one of the best ones. Great staff, the food is phenomenal and you can sit at your table for as long as you like.

    There was four of us for dinner. We were celebrating a birthday. Overall, we had a good experience, but I’m not sure if I’ll be back. The host seemed a little annoyed when we asked for another table because my girlfriend has a bad back and she couldn’t sit on the high top.  our waitress was good, the music was nice, the food… For the price of the skewers that we got it was definitely mediocre. overall, it’s a good atmosphere, but it’s missing something.  the energy was off, and we weren’t thrilled with a food. We really liked our drinks.

    Ambiance was great. Food was decent; however, a bit overpriced. Drinks were overpriced. We paid for the drink itself and a separate charge for the liquor in the drink. Overall, good experience.
