    I love this place and have been here twice in two weeks, once for dinner and once for brunch. The food is inventive and beautifully done.

    Love love this place! The food is amazing and has a very different, special Mediterranean twist. If I loved closer I would be coming back to this restaurant again and again. Thank you for a wonderful Sunday brunch!

    The food was incredible! The fettuccini al pomodoro e burrata is not to be missed! I cannot wait to bring my family / friends back to share this new gem of a restaurant. Staff was friendly and service wonderful even though we were there late as they were ready to close. Definitely will be back!

    The best restaurant in LA by far. Fresh ingredients, incredible recipes. Been here for both dinner and breakfast/lunch and it’s just amazing. Everything in the menu is worth trying.

    So this is not a “Latin” place, the name is misleading, this is a Russian place. Every entree either has caviar or salmon on it. Not for me. Also, since when has caviar been farm to table? Service started very slow, took about 30 minutes to get our drinks, with the bonus of the coffee being very bad. Service remained meh for the most of the meal until we started to ask another server for help. The people I was with enjoyed their brunch platters, which I didn’t get bc I am allergic to salmon. I got the only savory dish w/o fish. A quinoa bowl with “cooked vegetables and fingerling potatoes”. I expected a warm yummy bowl. The bowl was 90% cold, dry quinoa, 7% raw carrots and cucumber (I’m allergic to these when raw), 2% tiny, tiny diced up potatoes, topped with 1% bad kimchi. It was not good. It was not even edible for the $20 price. I had them take it away. The stars given were because they did take it off our bill (when we asked). Second time I’ve been there, and I’m very firm in saying, if you are on Main St., go somewhere else. Unless you want caviar, then this is your spot.

    The food was excellent but sadly the service was some of the worst I’ve experienced in 20 years of dining in LA. When we sat down, no server approached our table for at least 10 minutes despite the fact that 2-3 servers were working the outdoor patio. Finally, someone came to take our drink orders. It was brunch time, so we ordered a coffee and a latte, nothing complicated. We also requested waters for the table. We also placed our food order at the same time because we sensed a vibe that service would be slow. Time went by and no drinks appeared, not even waters. After about 10 minutes of waiting we asked again for waters. Still no water. Finally, after about 25 minutes, 2 of our 3 plates arrived (we were a party of 3). We still did not have our drinks or waters. I asked for a 3rd time for water. 5 minutes later, we finally got water, and asked where the 3rd person’s food was. The server looked confused and surprised that we would have all ordered food, and went to check. We could see other plates of food, some the exact same plate that my friend ordered, being delivered to other tables. 10 minutes later, the 3rd plate arrived at the table. We were finally able to eat our brunch. About 5 minutes after that, our coffee and latte arrived, but without cream. Getting cream was another struggle that took 7 minutes and 2 requests, while my coffee slowly cooled down without me being able to drink it. The coffee was very good. Overall, I wonder if the waitstaff was brand new to the job. It was super disappointing because the food was delicious, and I’d love to eat it again. But the experience was so frustrating that I will never go back there.
