Great rooftop views of DTLA. Drinks were excellent and the food was delicious. Highlight was the Oaxacan Sling Blade, a Mezcal based cocktail. Excellent. I had 2! The skirt steak tacos were very good as well as their chips and guacamole. Great ambience with upbeat music. Validated parking is available from the valet service outside the historic building if you're unable to find street parking.

What a great way to start our day! The service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. We loved the great playlist and overall atmosphere. My son even declared it the best fried chicken he’s ever had, which says it all! We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be back!

Our Server, Evan was the best and made a difference in our experience. He was attentive, kind, knowledgeable, respectful, courteous and absolutely on top of everything. He didn’t miss a beat. He had wonderful recommendations and if a plate wasn’t delicious he took care of it. Evan is the reason we would return!

I dined at noon at NOE before my Opera perfomance which I usually do. The place is quiet which I like, the food is good and super reasonably priced, although a bit higher than several months ago. The service is always consistently excellent, responsive and caring! I had the Papardelle with scallops and it was delicious. They also always have my favorite Pinot Noir by Meiomi! I was a bit disappointed, however because LA Opera advertised a special Magic Flute cocktail for eating here and it was not available for lunch, but only dinner! Overall, I reommend this venue as I often come here and if I want to work, I can eat and do both!

    Excellent service. Cooking is well balanced, nuanced, and elegant. So are the cocktails. By the glass wines are nicely varied. Lovely collection of amari. One of my favorite Italian spots in LA along with Antico Nuovo and Chi Spacca.
