I had the best time here! The service was great, my server was extra friendly and attentive (and he was busy!). I had the Caesar salad, awesome, and 2 of their Palomas. Why have I never heard of a Paloma before??? It was delicious! It seemed like everybody in the room had a birthday, everybody was singing! Thanks for a great time in L.A.!

Went here with the bf to have dinner. Best was the environment. Low was food delivery and food taste. Front of the house staff young gentleman man was on a roll tho!! Awesome service for some not so great for others. I would only come back for drinks ????

Amazing service with tasty food. Had to try a bit of everything just to see what I like the most. Tried the shrimp steak and chicken plates all were great. Yes we got a buffet of food to try the quality.
