    It felt like they were down a server. There were too many tables for too few waiters. Service was slow and inattentive. Food seemed fine. It's very convenient to Ahmanson for shows. I've been here before and it's been better. Perhaps an off night?

    The service is always amazing - and I always look forward to going here. And I love that they frequently change chefs and menus. I have been many time and the food is creative and different and flavorful. This was the first time I was not in love with the food. It was good but not to my liking. I understand that the chef was only using products from when the Mayflower arrived here - but I found the food to be bland and nothing special. I can't wait to return to the restaurant - but not until the next chef is there.

    Been here several times before going to the Ahmanson or Mark Taper and have always had a good experience but I think this last time was the best. I called ahead to let them know I was running a few minutes late and they said no problem but couldn’t guarantee I would make the theatre on time. I appreciated the heads up but knew we would be fine. We were seated right away and even though it was outside in the tented area, it was very comfortable temp wise. The server, Junny was friendly and very helpful when it came to ordering. We got the tuna salad and tomatillo salad, recommended by Junny, and salmon entree. When another person brought the salads, she raved about getting the two together. It was not too filling and a lovely mix of textures and flavors. And the salmon was good too. Also the chocolate mezcal cake, another recommendation, was a winner. Not to sweet or rich but another interesting mix of textures and flavors. All this and made curtain at Ahmanson with time to spare. I’m hoping to get back here for one more dinner or maybe brunch before the next chef comes in.

    Love the Native American influence on the menu! Everything we tried (salmon, tuna, roasted vegetables) was fresh, creative and delicious! And it’s really fun to be on the Music Center Plaza !
