Excellent barbecued baby back ribs and chicken. Must have the fried onion strings, our favorite appetizer. Love the warm ambiance with large fireplaces in a historical building. Have been going to MacArthur Park for over 30 years and always pleased with the excellent food and service.

Not only was the space itself beautiful, comfortable, and well thought out- every dish was delicious, and the service was impeccable. A definite highlight was the chocolate cake, and the tuna tartar was divine. Nick, our waiter, and all of the rest of the crew- were top notch. We came for a birthday celebration, and I’m certain we will return.

Our server was very kind and considerate so without us even asking, he saw our 2 kids and got us 2 ketchups for our 1 order of truffle parmesan fries without our even asking! We came on a Monday so it was pretty quiet. Ambiance in the back where we say was definitely the look of a hotel lobby where you get your breakfast because it’s part of the package. But the food itself was tasty! I’d get take out or eat at the bar, but not sit in the back. We would have done outdoor patio but it was windy.
