   TLDR: We finally got our first drinks and round of food at 9:35, 1h35 minutes after our reservation. The food was mid for the wait, we left hungry and like we had waisted a night out. No consolation was made and the bill was higher than expected. NOT worth the money. We were extremely disappointed. Our night: I was taking my partner out for a special evening and had a reservation booked at 8:00pm, upon arrival at 8 the hostess told us the kitchen had overbooked them and that there would be a wait of 25-30 minutes. I’ve worked in service I get that mistakes happen and going to another nice restaurant at that time without a reservation would have resulted in another 30 minute wait so we decided to wait with our name “at the top of the list”. While waiting several other parties that arrived after us (or groups larger than 2) were seated. Checks were blatantly being put over service. At 30 minutes I went back to the hostess to check on our status, she rolled her eyes and was quite rude and told me that tables were being cleared right then and that I would need to wait another 10 minutes, we could see empty tables, we waited. After 10 minutes I went in again where she told me another 10 minutes. To which I suggested Ted that she ought to have given more accurate wait times or we would not have waited 50 minutes. Food and drinks didn’t come for 30 minutes, until the waitress and then managers in quick succession told us there had been a WiFi issue and that our drinks and food had to be put in only just then. At this time we saw a table of 6 who sat after us get full service from a different waitress. We were hungry while waiting for meal rounds and felt frustrated that we needed to flag the waitress to get any service.

   I hosted a dinner for 8 for my USC students to celebrate the end of the academic year. It’s a perfect venue for a large party. Next time I’ll try the new Bacari-Culver City.

   One of my favorite restaurants. Food is always great and food is delicious. Recommend the petite filet and the stuffed mushrooms are a must.

   We had an excellent experience! The food is delicious, and they are great about allergies. The location is also great and the decor and ambiance so lovely. Everyone was wonderful. I can’t wait to go back!

   Fabulous night with friends, our food came out at separate times though and of course mine came out last- but it was worth it upon arrival. Immaculate menu

    Second time. Really like the menu. Returned after dine LA. Met our SC granddaughter. Favorites were Pear and Brie Pizza and stuffed mushrooms. We all shared little gem salad for our second time around.
