   The restaurant renovation is completed and it was very well done. Vibe is comfortable neighborhood restaurant /upscale diner. Food is terrific, as always. Early dinner with my husband and daughter, and we ordered the tuna over crispy rice as an appetizer to share, fish tacos, fried chicken sandwich and the chicken swisswich. Absolutely delicious. Service is outstanding. Highly recommend making a reservation if going for dinner. Unfortunately, they don't take reservations for breakfast/brunch/lunch. On a weekend, it's busy by 10 am, so get there early if you can.

   Excellent experience! This was our first visit and it was a pre-game gem! The food was excellent, the service was great and we were in/out smoothly without feeling rushed. Special recognition should be given to the thoughtful design of the menu, incorporating so many gluten free options. All of this for genuine value in an environment where our game-day gear was welcomed!

   Went to the one by MSG. Eclectic menu which satisfied everybody and a quick walk to the game. A home run I will go back.

   The food here is fine. Definitely nothing special and the prices are inflated for what you get, but that's pretty typical for these middle-of-the-road restaurants. My main issues were 3 things: 1) we had a reservation through OpenTable and they removed our reservation and told OpenTable we weren't there (and then I got an angry email from OpenTable about skipping out on a reservation. When I called the restaurant to ask about this, they couldn't tell me why the reservation was removed, even though we wwere there for almost 3 hours and spent almost $100 (FOR TWO PEOPLE -- TWO DISHES EACH. RIDICULOUS). 2) We ordered banana bread and, though we had cloth napkins the whole evening, they brought a stack of paper napkins with the dessert. This is, by the way, while fires are destroying half of LA because of climate change. So we cut down trees to make napkins that we use fossil fuel to transport to a restaurant and then we...what...throw them away because we don't need them? So irresponsible. 3) Finally, the waiter kept referring to me and my guest (another woman) as guys...the whole time. Hey guys, do you need anything else guys? Guys, I'll be right back with your good. It was legitimately every time we spoke to him. I wouldn't address him and his brother as "hey ladies...what can I get you ladies?" Do I really need to be erased while I'm trying to enjoy a night out? I can't just be an adult woman and be addressed as an adult woman? I can't get a 3 hour break from the patriarchy? So disrespectful and honestly it just comes across as really unprofessional.
