favorite restaurant in the whole of Los Angeles my only Comment is the music techno music in the middle of the day was drowning , yes, but he heard it too loud say him … I did hear a Tony Bennett song in the middle of that so I’m not sure maybe a afternoon crowd at 2 o’clock older. Otherwise, as always food with exceptional service, exceptional tablecloth crisp white , clean . delicious bread great service. And not gouging of prices since the beginning of the year, I appreciate that.
