   This is the 4th chef rotating in I've tried, and it is possibly the best menu yet, and that's saying something. The use of "indigenous" ingredients made for a meal that felt like discovering new sides of old friends.

   The food and concept of this restaurant are great. They need more servers, as I wasn't greeted for 10 minutes after I was seated, the drink arrived after the meal and I had to yell to get the server's attention for the bill. Maybe it was just a bad night.

   Convenient location to grab a small bite (think tapas-sized entree portions) before a performance at the Music Center. The salmon and sole were both flavorful but the mezcal chocolate cake was dry and inedible. Service needs improvement as the wrong dessert was initially brought out and then we were charged a higher price for our bottle of wine than was reflected on the menu and when we asked the server about it, she said we were charged for four glasses of wine (rather then the bottle sitting on our table) but the bill was adjusted once she looked at the menu herself and realized the error.

   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?

    Food came out fast & was delicious! My server Nadia was great and very knowledgeable of the menu. I had a great experience for my first time here.
