    The food was delicious, the venue was lovely. We should not have been able to make a reservation for 8:30 if they were not prepared to host us for the duration of our meal. We felt like an inconvenience from the second we arrived. I would not recommend anyone come here on a Sunday evening.

    Love this place. Always a friendly and warm welcome from the staff. Today we had dinner before my performance with my parents who were visiting from Ireland. They loved it. Excellent food and service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    One of our favorite places to dine following a mid-day concert at Disney Hall. The food is delicious, with many varied menu choices. And the staff is always friendly and welcoming.

    The food was delicious and there wasn't a long wait time from once the order is place to the arrival of the cuisine.

    Perfect spot after the opera: the food is simply wonderful. We had the calamari, split a pizza and finished with a baby kale salad. All very delicious!

    Not great! In fact quite meh and very pricey at that. The charred octopus appetizer was okay but the potatoes were nearly raw. The scallop appetizer was delicious but at $26 completely overpriced for 2! - only 2 - scallops. The branzino special was inedible. It had gross, soggy skin, a fishy smell and taste and again undercooked potatoes. The waiter switched it for another fish dish which was okay but boring and also overpriced. We had the apple crumble dessert which was tasty yet undercooked. Wanted to like this place but it was sooo disappointing.Definitely won’t be returning.
