I went to lunch with my son & his girlfriend. My son had been wanting to try this restaurant. The service was slow and the food was disappointing. The kebabs I ordered tasted like meatloaf that had been mixed with ketchup and lemon. My son's butternut squash was merely the neck of the squash that had been hallowed out and filled with pieces of zucchini, butternut squash and quinoa. My cappuccino was good & so was the salad my son's girlfriend ordered. In 2004 I was invited to an awards dinner that was held there, however I fractured my right ankle and couldn't attend because you must go up 2 sets of stairs to enter the restaurant. The restaurant is not ADA or (wheelchair) friendly. We don't plan on returning..

This place was phenomenal, point blank. Brought my ex here, only thing that saved the night was the amazing food. Food was so good I purposely left some to take home! Prices were okay, not too expensive but you pay for the quality. Atmosphere outside under the lights was top notch. Will have to go back, without my ex this time.

Make a reservation. The service is excellent and the food is phenomenal. Everyone in my group tried a different dish and thoroughly enjoyed them. I recommend getting the appetizer sampler because there’s a little bit of everything. My brazed lamb was perfectly cooked and fell off the bone. I would absolutely return the next time I’m in town.

Made a reservation for Lunch. Was very very impressed with this restaurant. Not easy to find this Gem. Restaurant mostly located upstairs on second floor. make sure to check out their patio seating! Great ambiance and heaters if cold, open spot and fresh air. Great service as well. We ordered the hummus and eggplant appetizers as well as a variety ofKabob options. Love their ahi tuna salad as well, wish there was more ahi tuna!

We had my moms retirement dinner here the other day and it was amazing! Katia was the events manager we worked with and she was so friendly and accessible. The food itself was AMAZING and the service was impeccable. It was such a great time!

Food - fantastic. We shared the seafood pasta and the lamb kebab. Large portions excellent for sharing. The flourless chocolate cake was delicious. Also very generous portion. Would also recommend the martinis!Ambiance - lovely and mellow with beautiful lighting. Sit outside on the patio while enjoying a nice LA evening.We ate on a Wednesday evening and there was no wait! It's definitely a lot busier in the summer time, a few weeks ago the wait was 40 minutes for two. Highly recommend!

We stopped by for a quick lunch and were not disappointed. We went on a whim and decided to dine here for lunch after an outing in the area. The menu seemed eclectic and their service was outstanding. All of the menu items seemed fresh and made to order. Will definitely come again when in the area. 5/5 solid place for lunch/brunch and the outdoor seating is nice.

Ambience and service - 5 stars. This restaurant will impress your guests. The food was ok - 3 stars. Service was fast and the waiter very nice and accommodating.

Questions & Answers

Sorry no elevator its a "historical" building and the city won't allow to alter to the structure. However if you let them know you have an elder person or handicap they do provide service at their banquet room downstairs (rococco) if the room is not being acupide but they can accomodate just let them know prior to arriving.

I doubt it. Most area restaurants are only taking to go orders. They may not be set up for that.

No, there is no age restriction. You cannot drink however, no alcoholic beverages served to anyone under 21. You are most welcome to go there and eat, and the food is delicious and the service exceptional, so go and enjoy the wonderful ambience and great cuisine.

No. It's a casual place.

I have never seen a kids menu nor have I ever seen children in the restaurant.

As others have told you, yes they do.

I have gone twice with my own bottles of wine...it is either $20 or $25....since wine is priced 3 to 4 times the actual cost at most restaurants, it is still worth it to bring your own if you bought it for $20 or more....

I really don't know the answer to that but if the weather's nice it's usually open the majority of the time if it's a cold they closed it but they leave you the option to have heaters

Yes! On Yelp or you can call.

Some of the food are gluten free.
