    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?

    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.
