Found this gem in LA. Mind blown by the quality of the food, the ambience, and the service. Wanted to take my family out to a nice place and I think we found a new favorite! We had oysters and a cheeseboard for starters, and then for entrees we decided to have the filet mignon, rack of lamb, sea bass, and a pasta with caviar and sea urchin. All were just perfectly prepared. If you want to go on the perfect date, this is the place to go!

We had a great experience here. The food, drinks, service, and ambiance were perfect. - The oysters were a little different but we really enjoyed the tangy sauce that pairs well with the delicious hot sauce. - The tuna tartar was very good and we were impressed with the portion size. - The seabass with cauliflower was delicious and very flavorful. - My husband really enjoyed his ribeye. - The cocktails were excellent. We would gladly return.

So on her 50th we decided to come to this place as my wife loves to go to all types of places to eat and let me tell you about this place. 1st the atmosphere is amazing please check out the picture. 2. It's pricy and it may not be for you and it's ok but the experience with the place and how we were taken care of was amazing. 3. The food was great she got the rack of Lam Got the Sea bass. We also had some drinks to complement our dinner! The Lam is not my favorite but my wife loves the dish! The sea bass had a great tease but it was to my liking and fun fact never did it had that fishy smells so that was a plus! My wife love her lam and was very very happy and as for me I got to eat something that I enjoyed along with great conversation. The servers are so caring on making sure we had our waters filled and making sure we needed anything else. Just very attentive. My take of this place is over well!! Yes I recommend you visiting this place if you want celebrate a special occasion, just to eat and hangout, impress your girlfriend or just wanting to find something different . Hope this helps! I looking forward to coming back and trying more of this place has to offer! Thanks for making my wife's 50th pre dinner party a great evening!!

Such a cute place, super romantic, great service super helpful. All the dishes were super tasteful. The couscous was definitely a hit, it's a huge part of my culture eating couscous at every family celebration and this one was pretty great. We loved the dessert tasting options that a great idea to end up a great dinner! Nice wine by the glass is definitely amazing!

My partner and I came here to celebrate our anniversary. As soon as you step into the restaurant, you will find yourself captured by the dim, romantic atmosphere with tree lights and candles. We ordered a glass of wine while we selected our menu items. I had the fillet mignon and I must say it was cooked to perfection-- flavorful and juicy. Along with my fillet mignon, we had the Parker rolls and the potato mousseline, both excellent sides. Our server was so kind and helped us with our wine and dinner selection. At the end of our meal, he brought us a celebratory dessert. We will definitely be back!

Finally tried out this spot after being on the list for a while and it was solid all around but something was missing. First of all the service was great. We came really early and they seated us anyway with no issues. Our server was attentive but there was a mild lack of warmth and charm. The ambience was overall very rustic and charming but the tables were slightly close together and so I felt a little bit uncomfortable with the other guests so close to me- even to get up and go to the restroom. The cocktails were solid. I found it interesting they were heavy on the tequila and tequila based drinks when the cuisine was more European. The wine was solid too. But nothing was special. As for the food everything was prepared well and presented beautifully. We enjoyed everything but nothing stood out. The oysters had an interesting sauce that was unique but almost too sweet. We had the lamb and ribeye which were both very good and cooked perfectly. The desserts were excellent- passion fruit cheesecake and lava cake. Probably my favorite part. So again, worth a try, everything is overall good but I can't quite pinpoint what is missing about this place but not sure I'm super eager to return despite being satisfied overall.

The little door.. the greatly anticipated rOmAnTiC restaurant. I had a Valentine's Day reservation. It was a $122 deposit that went towards the bill of the night. It was an additional $330 for the dinner including 1 alcoholic beverage and included gratuity. So around $452 or so in total for a Valentine's Day dinner here for 2. The service was absolutely superb, you never had to fill your own water, they were on top of it. The waiter I believe was Sam, I could totally be wrong, but it was an older gentleman who was extremely nice and courteous. The ambiance was everything I imagined. It was absolutely screaming romanticism. They had fresh rose petals on the table with roses also hanging upside down on vines from the ceiling by the entrance. It was honestly VEERRYYY dreamy. The menu itself was a 3 course you chose one item from each category. Every dish was amazing. It was absolutely delicious and I have no complaints. Everything tasted so fresh, the presentation was absolutely gorgeous to the eye, even in dim lighting. I was enjoying the experience to really take photos of the food honestly. The only thing that had surprised me was one of the plates had chips all around the perimeter of it. You'd think for such an expensive restaurant they could provide intact dishes to serve on.

Our dinner for two here was beyond fantastic. To start, the bread was just rich perfection. The Parker Roll is a must to share. Think Hawaiian rolls with extra butter and light cheesy goodness. The Hamachi Crudo was served in a bowl, LOL, but the sauce and garnishes were heavenly. The hamachi seemed hidden in the bite, given how much is featured in this dish, but not missed in the least. The Steak Tartare, for those who appreciate it, is also a must. It's a little on the salty side, overall, but understandably and wonderfully so. The Salmon Entree with Saffron Potatoes is noticeable on the saffron seasoning, but a good complement to the salmon and greens. Blend the flavors for a mouthful of pleasure. We were celebrating a birthday, which entails a contemporary bread pudding dessert here. Yum yum yum. Service was efficient and polite. We were by the kitchen and restrooms, and there was no shortage of support. This is a cute, intimate environment for a celebratory dinner. I am curious to experience this place during lunch, but will be back soon for dinner.
