Gardenia Restaurant & Lounge

This is the longest running cabaret club in the COUNTRY. Here. We have it. L.A. has this gem. Amazing. It's filled with warm regulars. The owners and management KNOW cabaret, and they book some of the biggest names while also giving singers who are new to the scene a place to put on a show break into the scene. It's a listening room/nightclub-- once the music starts, no one's talking or on their phones... the Gardenia *respects* music and singers. It is so fabulous I can't even express. The decor is a little outdated- adds to its charm. It's only open when an act is booked. That's how dedicated. Come on by the Gardenia, catch a show!

Zero stars. This food & overall experience offended me deeply. Sometimes a plate is set in front of you & you think to yourself, ‘Oh, they just really don’t care...at all. They could, they can & they don’t. This is sad. I want to run away, but I can’t because the waitress is never coming back.’

It’s really about the music. Eat before you go...Food isn’t their strong point. And it’s overpriced. Nice staff, only one person serving, just have to be patient.
