    Best dining experience we have ever had. Our server was knowledgeable of the food and wines and there were multiple people helping with our table. Each dish was described beautifully and the flavors were incredible. Each item was better than the next. And the wines paired perfectly. It was a dining experience we will never forget and we will be back soon with friends. We cannot express enough about how wonderful of a time we had. This has to be one of the top restaurants in the World.

    I really appreciated the valet, hostess and host. I dined with a friend on crutches. Valet made sure friend could park in closest handicapped parking space. Hostess was sensitive to my companion’s needs and offered two nearby tables to choose from so she didn’t have to walk too far. My friend and I love the shishito peppers. She loved her tacos. The blt banh mi sandwich is good but has no resemblance to a bahn mi at all. Love that they have a nice selection of mocktails so you can feel festive if you’re sober or need to drive back to work. The patio is lovely. Service is good and self parking is free with validation.

    Wonderful Wicked theme 3 course menu that my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed before watching Wicked across the street at the Pantages. From the moment you walk into the Living Room, the ambience and vibe were very “Emerald City”. We sat in the dining room which had a more intimate vibe. Presentation was perfection, dinner was delicious and service was superior. The attention to detail and white glove treatment was chef’s kiss. The staff and Joanna were awesome. 10/10 would recommend. Hubby and I truly enjoyed our Hollywood Holidate!
