Very loud! Not a place to go to chill and enjoy a cocktail and meal. A party or two were so loud with laughter and talk deprived everyone else of enjoyment.

We were greeted by a friendly host and were seated immediately. The decor of the restaurant was very chic and I loved the dim lighting. All of the appetizers and mains were delicious. We got the southwest chicken spring rolls and the avocado spring rolls. The burrata salad and chicken picatta were terrific. My husband loved the beef sandwich and my friends loved their burgers. The cocktails were just ok. They need more cocktails with reposado tequila that don’t involve mezcal. Margarita was way too sweet and had too much lime. The waitress was nice but service was a little slow. We would go back the next time we have an event at Descanso Gardens.

Raphael, our server was great. And the food was amazing.My issue with the service is that the food delivery was too rushed. We were still enjoying our appetizer and then the salad came. Before I was half way finished with my salad, the entrees came. I sent them back. I was not ready to eat it. But the staff was all wonderful. It was extremely loud in the restaurant, hard to hear my husband and felt like we had to shout at each other. But, it was night one of the World Series, so people were excited!

We came here before an evening at Descanso Gardens. We made it for the happy hour, and enjoyed some appetizers and drinks along with our main meals. The food was delicious and fresh. We enjoyed the unique atmosphere. They are family friendly. We cannot wait to come back!
