   We have been here many times since the beginning when it launched with Mario Batali. Arrived on time for our reservation, we were seated 40 minutes later. We checked in every 15 minutes and the host initially said 5-10 mins - turned into 40 minutes. This typically happens when a 615 reservation arrives late because no one wants to actually eat at 6:15 but it was the only reservation they could get. So they show up at 6:45 and the restaurant does not limit their dining time by telling them “We need this table at 8:15.” We were finally seated and our server Shalamar was amazing. well informed and friendly. Appetizers arrived were delicious .They cleared away our appetizer plates the table sat empty for 30 minutes. we asked what happened to our premi , our server disappeared and a senior person took over and disappeared to the kitchen, and then explained : Your food just went in the pan. I guess they forgot to put in our order? Because tables who arrived after us had seamless delivery of their courses. Primi arrived 45 mins after appetizers were cleared. 2 of our party were fed up. By this time we had been there over 2 hours and primi were just delivered . 4 of us no longer wanted secondi so we cancelled them immediately when primi arrived. Asked for our bill and were shocked that no consideration had been made for the unacceptable delays. I always say, the restaurant knows how many tables and seats they have, they know how many reserved patrons there will be and they should have enough staff, especially in the kitchen to serve them all. And they should have systems to make sure patrons are seated on time - or within 15 minutes. There were no surprises here we had a reservation. But they could not see until 40 minutes later and we ordered three courses of food and there was a 40 minute pause between appetizer and primi. The food was delicious, the vibe was not the same as it used to be. Will not come back if this is the way the restaurant runs now

   Had a 8pm reservation. Got there at 7:50. Waited until 8:35 to get seated. After asking, got complimentary glasses of ok wine. No room at the bar area, so standing for 45 minutes!!!! Not pleasant.

   Consistently, one of the very best restaurants we lobe to visit annual when visiting family for the holidays. If I lived locally I would visit far more often. Our waitress last evening was delightful. Melissa, the sommelier, nailed it with both of her suggestions. And the food itself was sheer perfection. This restaurant is not to be missed.

   Fourth time eating here. It’s always a mind blowing luxurious experience. The pasta is truly next level. And you can tell there is a strong singular vision behind the menu. Don’t miss out on dessert. Our meals were coursed a little too far apart. We waited over 30 minutes between finishing our appetizers and our receiving first course. It also took a long time to have our server pick up our check. However, this is a minor scrutiny only because the price to dine here is so high.

   Really awesome experience. We did the bread and Caesar salad as apps which were amazing. Our server did a really nice job pairing wines for us. Brown butter ravioli was decadent and excellent. Loved the butternut squash tortellini, sweet winter pasta. Pro Tip: save some bread to dip in the pasta sauce. Did the Bunet for desert, I didn't love it but my partner did. It was a little too overwhelmingly almondy for me. I would try something different next time. But overall, one of the best meals I've ever had. Every bite was a delight and I will definitely be coming back. Service was excellent. Great choice for a date night.

    One of the best all around restaurant experiences I have ever had. It’s not cheap, but it’s also not crazy expensive. Will try to go back whenever I am visiting LA
