The hostess had an attitude and tried to seat us at a table by the kitchen although the reservation had been made well in advance. We asked the wait staff to please re-seat us which they happily did. I think they noticed the hostess’ attitude and tried to make things right. The wait staff was superb and could not have been nicer. All in all, I would give the food and service a “10” out of “10” despite the hostess’ attitude. Maybe she should be I. The back washing dishes instead of greeting diners.

Very nice restaurant. We got lucky and were placed right next to the live latin jazz band. We got the view of LA, the sound of the band and the waiters were friendly. Food was also delicious. A very great night spent, celebrating my birthday there. I would recommend for a special event/date night.
