Discover the diversity of South American cuisine through the tradition of live fire cooking, all prepared with a side of dazzling showmanship.

Over an open wood flame, Esquire Chef of the Year Ray Garcia and his team cook a regularly changing menu featuring fine cuts of meats, fresh seafood, and creative vegetarian dishes, all kissed with smoke and infused with bold, refined flavors.

Relax in the seductive, tropical-hued dining room or on the pool deck for an alfresco meal. And keep your eye on the rotating liquor risers, which perform their own synchronized routine when someone orders a specialty cocktail.

Please note that we are an Adults Only (21+) establishment after 9:00 PM. Parking validation is available.

For parties of 6 or more, please email restaurants@level8dtla.com.

    Between waiters, back waiters and bussing staff - people were truly always hovering. Waiter repoured and emptied our bottled water without asking (one of us drinks way more water than the other) then busboy poured tap water over our bottled. We each had 2 cocktails with normal top shelf and cost was outrageous - nearly $30 for a small Woodford Manhattan?? I’ve never given 2 Stars before.

    I ordered steak with broccoli,mashed potatoes, and empanadas for the appetizer. It was DELICIOUS. Everything had so much flavor and made to perfection 👌🏾 I tried my family members food which was just as good. The portions for the sides are big enough for 2 EXCEPT for the asparagus. I enjoyed this restaurant a lot.

    I had reservations at 5 pm and they don’t open until 6 pm. The hostess downstairs was super rude about it.

    We waited over an hour even though we made a reservation for a specific time. But the time we sat down and ordered the restaurant was closing so we had to rush to finish our meal.

    I’m not saying it was bad but I was expecting more. The food and drinks were not good enough for me. The waiter was very nice and the service was great but the food as it was disappointing.
