   We had an enjoyable experience. The food was creative, unusable, and very delicious. Abernathy’s was very convenient to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion where we were seeing a performance. We will go back.

   Delicious food. Really enjoyed the selections from chef Pyet. The service was lovely, but they could use a bit more staff.

   We go to Abernethy’s regularly and we’ve enjoyed every chef and menu, but this one was our favorite. The inventive, exciting dishes were so special, you cannot find this food anywhere else in LA. Chef Pyet DeSpain should have a permanent restaurant, because I want to eat her food on every special occasion. It was incredible. The service at Abernethy’s is always wonderful. Our meals have taken quite a while to come out the last two trips, so give yourself extra time when making a reservation. They get slammed with the pre-show crowds. We love our date nights of dinner and a show at the Music Center and Aberbethy’s is a romantic, special date spot.

   Chef DeSpain's Indigenous American cuisine is fantastic. Reminded me of my trips to Owamni in Minneapolis. Culturally important and delicious. A must try.

   What distinguishes Abernethy's from other restaurants is its practice of bringing in guest chefs. They bring a tremendous variety of cuisine styles with an attentive staff to complement the qualities of the meals.

   We had an absolutely lovely evening after attending the opera, this is such a great location. The premise of rotating chefs is very unique and creative. We have been here a few times and the food is always excellent. Service always great. Service on this particular evening by Nadia and Jihoon was above par! They were extremely attentive, very friendly, very informed, an overall excellent evening.

   Terrific concept of rotating chefs! Lunch before Sunday matinee was efficient. Focus on Mexican & indigenous food was great. Server was most helpful and suggested sharing plates, which is our preferred approach to dining.. Food came out quickly. Corn-fried quail was outstanding. The bison was tender and flavorful, but the blue corn cake was dry (despite the jus). Tried all three desserts. The Mexican corn pudding (more like flourless chocolate torte) with chocolate espresso sauce & pine nut palanquetas was top notch. The Mexican Corn cake with macerated fruit was very dry and could have used more whipped cream. The "cookies" with creme du leche were quite tasty but dry; very little sauce on plate to bring out more taste & moisture. Overall a good meal with the variety we sought. Would recommend reservations before the theater/opera matinee crowd comes in since dessert service slowed some with that on rush.

    Limited mrenu. Everything was too salty. Flavors were too authentic to my taste…
