   Always a great place pre-theater but the menu has changed a little and needs a bit more options.

   I was disappointed that there was no seasonal soup, no bread basket and the wine we wanted wasn’t available. The macaroons were not very good.

   The menu is boring and there and the food has very little taste. The service and the waitstaff is good and responsive. The only reason I go there is the convenience of it being at the music center.

   Soup was really delicious, but tiny portion for $16. Much better value on the shrimp cocktail.

   Wish there were more places by the Ahmanson. Aside from being out of a bunch of menu items, the food was not great and it’s defintiely not worth the money.

   Always enjoy Kendall’s for a pre-theatre dinner. Great location and excellent service and food.

   We had a very disappointing dining experience An employee opened the door because it was so heavy one could barely push it. Since I was last there a number of years ago, it was modernized which means ugly geometric wall decor. The noise level is horrible. I had to lean way in to talk to someone next to me. And that was with only two tables of people near us when we got there. The acoustics got worse the longer we were there and more people came in. The beet salad that we ordered to share was made with frisée lettuce, aka weed like greens, very unpleasant to eat, but what was worse was that the roasted beets, which normally should be on the sweet side were extremely salty. I’m not sure how two members of our party of our party enjoyed their cocktails, but my Sister‘s lemon drop was tiny. The presentation of the fish was ugly, with the skin side up and some roasted whole tomatoes which my husband doesn’t like. Linguine with shrimp would’ve been good if the shrimp had not been extremely salty. I was worried that someone is covering up old shrimp and then I might get sick, fortunately did not I had to ask for Parmesan cheese for the pasta. The good thing about them not offering nor having any prepared was that I I I believe it was shaved fresh.  Out server was very nice. I wish I had her name to share. The meal was extremely overpriced for what was served. It’s good that they have a limited menu because they certainly can’t handle more than that. And the other issue was the odor going in to the restroom area is disgusting and has not been dealt with for some time according to employees. I will not be going back and do not recommend this restaurant, which is a shame because it’s very convenient to the theater

    Service was great you have the nicest people working there.. It was perfect. The food was wonderful. It was a great experience and they got us out with plenty of time to get to the show. We’ve been here before we will be back.
