    In my opinion, one of the best Italian restaurant in Los Angeles, tied with one other, which I won't mention on the review. The service is impeccable. The staff is courteous and the food is out of this world. Don't miss it on a trip to Los Angeles.

    It is with a heavy heart that we bid our favorite "go-to" farewell. I have been going to Eveleigh since it took over from Kenneth Cole. I brought my now-wife there for one of our earliest dates, and we have been going there on the regular ever since. Great job, Eveleigh. We will miss you terribly.
