   The best! So beautiful and the service is impeccable. The owner is so nice and wants to always make sure everyone is happy with the food and service which is wonderful. Will be back for the 3rd time this season with another couple.

   Before making a reservation, we called ahead to make sure we could bring our own cake, pay the cake fee, and just order drinks. They said it was totally fine, so we were okay with that. When we arrived, they welcomed us in super warmly, and everything seemed fine. We ordered drinks, then asked the waiter to bring out the cake, and he had no issue with it. We were just sitting and enjoying our time for about 15 minutes, and suddenly, the manager comes over out of nowhere saying we each have to order one dish from the main menu. That made zero sense. I’ve never been to a restaurant where you pay a cake fee, order drinks, and still get forced to order food. It felt like they expected us to just go along with it without saying anything. But obviously, we weren’t about to let that slide. If they had this rule, they should’ve said so beforehand when we called. Instead, they confirmed it was okay, let us sit, and then randomly decided to change the rules. Definitely not coming back.

   it was a wonderful dining experience, and the staff and service were excellent. We really enjoyed our drinks and our main course of New Zealand salmon was excellent.

   We love this restaurant and decided to bring another couple and they can not stop informing us that since being in West Hollywood/Beverly Hills since 1972 they have not been to this one and it was the best! They are going back and so are we; next week with another couple.

   Food was great however for the amount paid for the valentines night for two I expected more. To start off our reservation was at 9:30 and we weren’t sat until nearing 11. The environment to match the description, we were sat in the corner in a spot that seemed more like a living room than what they advertised for this event. Food took forever to come out. Food was good but for the wait time it was not worth it. Not coming back

    We arrived on time for our reservation at 8:45 p.m., only to find a line of 25 people at the door. They informed us that this was the line for people with reservations. After waiting for about 20 minutes, we were finally checked in at 9:05 p.m. and directed to the bar next door. We waited for an extended period, watching as others were called ahead of us. At 9:50 p.m., just as my fiancé and I were about to leave, the young receptionist lady asked for my name and quickly ushered us back to her side. We were given a table without silverware and a burnt-out candle with stains on the tablecloth. I understand that Valentine’s Day can be a challenging time for restaurants, but this experience was unacceptable, especially considering the $500 upfront charge for the package. I felt disappointed and taken advantage of, especially since we had paid in advance. The only reason we stayed was because we had paid in advance, which now makes sense and feels like a scam. I will never return to this restaurant and have learned my lesson. What a poorly managed and wasteful experience. Oh, and by the way, we didn’t receive our food until 11:15 p.m. We finally left at almost midnight. This was a complete letdown and a waste of 3.5 hours.
