    Went to St. Feliz based on others reviews. We were in Hollywood for a show. First impression was that it's a bar with food - did enjoy the quirky movie and t.v. clips running on the t.v.s in the space. Very informal feel, but after we were seated the service was top notch! The Thai deviled eggs were 5 star - I could eat a whole plate of those! The waygu sliders - amazing! the chicken and waffle good - but the best part was the orange scented syrup - so, so good! Short rib dinner - also delicious. the only issue was the nachos - the menu shows the nachos with meat on it, but when they arrived there was no meat - just chips and cheese and jalapenos. Server corrected this by bringing some beef over to add to them - just though the menu was a tad misleading. Drinks were also good - not an extensive wine list however, but I guess it's more of a cocktail joint. Would definitely come back when in the area again!
