    We had a tremendous dining experience, accompanied by a beautiful atmosphere and delicious food —at least until the forced evacuation at the hands of the many fires currently engulfing Los Angeles County…

    Extremely slow service like beyond slow for an empty restaurant, but absolutely delicious food like five star food but really extremely expensive! Beautiful ambience really fresh food that was again absolutely delicious just expensive and there’s not really kid options. I wasn’t dining with a kid so it did not matter to me, but I like to include that in my review.

    What a great way to take advantage of a beautiful LA day! Had brunch here and absolutely loved the outdoor venue and walking around seeing all the art. Had never really been to this part of LA and I was certainly missing out. Such a great vibe. Originally from the south I’m pretty critical when it comes to southern food but the beignets and cornbread were spot on. So yummy! Everyone at our table loved the shrimp and grits…just meh. The sides were true stand outs and the blistered snap peas were delicious. The popover Benedict was unique and the market salad had such unexpected ingredients. We loved them all and will definitely be back. And don’t forget the fun cocktails, and yummy desserts . Service was great as well!
