    The worst food we ever been served anywhere! What a joke and complete rip off Bison torta $22 was inedible. Came wrapped up in tinfoil. Probably made off site somewhere. Nasty tasting as one could imagine. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros. $26 Two small round pieces of stale tortillas with a burned egg and some black beans. This stuff thrown in a small bowl! My 11 year old can cook better than who ever claims to be a chef at this place. Glorified pop up with horrible food. I wouldn’t give it any star but one is the lowest you show.

    Abernethy’s is the perfect place to go before the theatre. Not only is it convenient, it happens to be a great restaurant with delicious food.

    I love the concept of a restaurant with rotating chefs on the mall of LA’s biggest performing arts plaza. Convenient, interesting, social. Drive in from work, park, walk the venue, eat, laugh, and see a show. All in one spot. An oasis in the urban sprawl.

    I dined at Abernethy’s for a Sunday brunch prior to a dance performance. The menu is new with great new entrees. I ordered the chilaquiles. The dish was seasoned well and just the right size entree. I even had room for dessert and ordered the blue corn cookies. They had just the right amount of sweetness and a perfect end to the meal. The staff are all friendly and attentive. It also was a nice day so the outside patio was enjoyable. I look forward to my next trip to Los Angeles to return to Abernethy’s again.

    I always love eating at Abernathy. The food was excellent. The service was slow and inattentive probably due to another event going on nearby I hope everything goes back to normal on my next visit

    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.
