The food here is truly amazing, an easy recommendation. The service was amazing always met with a smile. and truly never felt like I was left out. The ambience was great and something fairly unique not the reason you should go to this place but nice nevertheless. Each dish truly felt like I was going back to something amazing- they all had great profiles that would compliment the other dishes very well. everything I ate seemed well thought out and truly wonderful. an easy recommendation to anyone looking to grab food in LA.

In the past, the restaurant inside was quite noisy. Now that they have added the outdoor patio section, I found the inside of the restaurant to be much less noisy and more enjoyable. Our server was great and the food was timely and tasty. Will definitely return!
