This was such a great experience. The views are some of the best downtown LA has to offer. The food was delicious. We had the piri piri fried chicken, French fries, crab claw pasta and the grilled branzino. Everything was fresh and seasoned well. The wait staff was pleasant and super friendly. Shoutout to Victor and Victoria. Will definitely recommend and plan on returning.

Our server, I believe Frankie, was the best! He was very attentive! Made our dinner experience there memorable. The braised wagyu brisket tacos were to die for! I will be going back just for those! I can’t believe we’ve never been here despite being a LA native.

Great customer service, the receptionist was kind to add a extra guest to our party even though we didn’t book a extra guest. She didn’t have to and could have said no, but yeah. Thanks for the great service!!!

We have been here twice and the hostess upstairs kind of ruined the night for us each time. No need to be rude.
