    I ordered a Thanksgiving dinner for two people and pre-Paid it. After we were seated, it took a long time to get a server. No water on the table, had to ask for everything, including our starter and when that came, half of the order was not put on the table so they went back and brought it. When it came time for our main course of two salmon meals, they said they were out of salmon. We are vegetarian, so we substituted fettuccine that came to the table ice cold. Dessert was fine. The main waiter said that the owner was comping us the meal, including the Hungarian wine that he kept refilling. Something was really wrong, and we were not notified about what it was. Somehow, I suspect the chef did not show up. It was a laughable memory, but not a good one food wise. Wish they had been honest with us. Will wait and see if they credited my credit card for about $165.

    Love love this place! The food is amazing and has a very different, special Mediterranean twist. If I loved closer I would be coming back to this restaurant again and again. Thank you for a wonderful Sunday brunch!

    The food was incredible! The fettuccini al pomodoro e burrata is not to be missed! I cannot wait to bring my family / friends back to share this new gem of a restaurant. Staff was friendly and service wonderful even though we were there late as they were ready to close. Definitely will be back!

    The best restaurant in LA by far. Fresh ingredients, incredible recipes. Been here for both dinner and breakfast/lunch and it’s just amazing. Everything in the menu is worth trying.
