   Wonderful experience. Delicious and beautifully presented drinks. We loved the mushrooms and all the shared plates, the Mac n’cheese was very good and different.

   Our favorite “go to” restaurant when downtown and meeting friends for shows. Food is superb and all of the staff are great, exceptional, thoughtful…and they remember us!! Always a memorable experience.

   Duck and Lamb dishes were wonderful. It’s expensive here so would come for special occasions. Also convenient for both Music Center and Disney Hall events.

   Everything was great. We enjoyed our meal tremendously. We were especially pleased that they never tried to push more and didn’t make any fuss about sharing.

    Am disappointed with my experience here because I was looking for a new favorite after Otium and Agua Viva closed. The first thing I did upon arrival was inform my server that I had show tickets and limited time. I was advised on how long entrees would take and decided to order before my friend arrived to ensure we would have time to eat at a comfortable pace. My first issue was with the salad. I was told it was considered a tapa size, so I ordered 2. It was not “tapa” size. It could have been easily shared. Then I started noticing that tables seated after me were receiving their food orders while my friend and I were still waiting. It was hard getting any server’s attention to ask about our food. By the time our first entree and side dish arrived we had only 15 min before we had to leave. I was told many orders were put in at the same time which is why our food was delayed. I don’t believe our server. I think she did not put our order in right away because the restaurant was not very full when I ordered. I just asked for the bill. We took a few bites then had everything packed up. The manager came by and said he would “do something for us”. He took 10% off the tab which paid for the tax. We didn’t have any time to really complain. We also didn’t have any time to use the restroom before the show. We rushed over and sat w our expensive dinner under our seat. I can’t say much for the food because most it was eaten a day later, which makes it not worth the money I spent for it. In hindsight I should have just cancelled everything, paid for the salad, and bought a sandwich at the venue.
