Blacksmiths Restaurant - DTLA

I really thought their food would be delicious, but it was lacking in full flavor. The food looks amazing in pictures, but our experience was that everything we ordered was bland; the only seasoned items were the fries. I ordered the black truffle fettuccini and for as savory as the dish looked like it might be, it lacked flavor. My friend ordered a steak that tasted unseasoned. I really wish I could have gotten my money back but I was too sad to ask. I can't recommend paying so much to eat here. The service, however, was pleasant. Their employees are great, but the food is not. Maybe they think salt is too spicy or something.

Had a solid dinner at Blacksmith. The food was pretty much spot on and service was good. Our issue was main entrées came before salad that was one of the reasons why only a four out of five stars. Overall would definitely dine here again many dishes were very well executed. Staff was very friendly and helpful overall restaurant had a good vibe. Some top dishes to try are the short rib gnocchi, braised short ribs, cheese fritters, and bread putting.

This place is perfect. From the ambiance, to the food, the drinks and even the parking set up. There are two structures literally right next to the restaurant. One is an open lot and the other is a structure. Both under 400 feet from the restaurant. If you’re an LA native you know this plays a big role in whether or not you actually go somewhere. “Never say die” is hands down the best bourbon drink I’ve had. My boyfriend got the Bloody Mary and that was yummy too. Overall their drink menu was impressive. The table ordered the Brie pancakes, short rib Benedict, chilaquiles, chorizo hash, and french toast. I would order each one of those things again. My favorite was the short rib and chorizo harsh. The service was great. From the host to the waitress to the bar tender. I would absolutely recommend this olde.
