    Don’t get me wrong the food is excellent but it’s very pricey for what you get. Very small portions. The grilled avocado is 1/2 an avocado and that’s it! Don’t go to this place hungry. You’ll have to order many expensive dishes to fill your stomach.

    Showed up 30 minutes before reservation. Restaurant was empty. Told us they would tell us when our table was ready after 30 minutes, I reminded them we had been waiting. At table, ordered 2 mimosas. They brought one, I reminded the server we ordered 2. Ordered from menu. Asked for a side of fries (they are served with burger, which we were not ordering). They don't allow that. Server brought my order of chilaquiles, not the other order. Still didn't have second mimosa. Chilaquiles were ice cold and basically a pile of tortilla chips with a soft boiled egg and some salsa. I asked another server if they were supposed to be cold and they said, "uh, no". We got up and walked out.

    Poor food, poor service, poor attitude. A trifecta of superlatives.

    Every single item we ordered was wonderful. It was nice to be able to eat healthy and bright food that wasn’t overly seasoned. The atmosphere and location are top notch, perfect for catching a meal before a concert at Walt Disney Hall. Though the food is a bit expensive and the portions on the smaller side, I would definitely revisit and recommend the restaurant to others

    When we arrived for our 6:30 PM reservation, there were at least 10 people waiting to be seated. We had to wait at the bar for at least 30 minutes before we got our table, and had to ask repeatedly for drink refills and for our check.  I don’t know if they were understaffed or overbooked, but they were slammed.

    Excellent dining experience with a very high-quality and well prepared food and very nice service. Highly recommended whether it’s before the theater or just for a standalone meal.

    The server was great. There needs to be more training with the host/front door staff. Even though I had a reservation, the hostess tried to manuever me (a disabled person) to sit on a barstool instead of a table or outdoors in cold weather. She didn't explain it well. I opted to keep my reserved table. The couple seated to my right and the two parties seated to my left all complained about the hostess and the bait-and-switch tactic and the poor communication skills of the front desk/host staff.

    Always a solid meal. I attended Disney Hall events often and like you location. Our server, Johanna was first class, great! Our bill for two of us seemed a bit high.
