Damian - Los Angeles

The restaurant is located in the arts district, you can find street parking or pay 15 ish dollars for valet parking. The service exceptional, our server made excellent recommendations and was very familiar with the menu. Food is served family style so we ordered a few from every category. Everything that we ordered tasted fresh and flavorful. The restaurant overall has a fresh feel to it. I would suggest seating outside because it elevates the overall dining experience.

Our server Jenny was such a joy and so helpful. She explained all the dishes to us and made recommendations. Go for the duck, it was delicious. It's an entire half duck. I could've made room to eat two whole ducks because it was so delicious. Comes on cast iron pan. Holds the sizzzzllleee.We love uni but the uni tostada was not uni satisfying, we just wanted an entire tray of uni but it was more one piece on lots of greens.Drinks were just ok but not badThere is a dessert chocolate mezcal, try it, it paired well with chocolate. We also got the banana flan which was more like a crème brûlée consistency but we liked that. There was a chocolate dessert we got too but it wasn't what we expected: we expected it to be more chocolate heavy in flavors but the sorbet over powered the chocolate of that dessert.

Great and cozy ambience. Food was delicious from appetizer to main and dessert. Cocktails were great as well. Welcoming and kind servers. Did not leave with a wow factor to go back again.

Overall it was good but I hoped for excellent due to the price point. Service was minimal, meaning that it was slow. Too slow. The servers were knowledgeable and friendly although could have been more engaging. The deserts were excellent and the celery root unexpectedly a favorite. Lobster was predicable but good. Chili relleno was plain and bordering uncooked. I wouldn't get it again. Everyone in my party liked the octopus and the dessert bloom drink. Having eaten many top notch places, this felt overpriced. Enjoyed the ambiance though.

Service and ambiance is good. Really enjoyed the aquachile with heart of palms. They had sent out an undercooked chicken, but quickly remade it and took it off the bill. I would return to try the other dishes.
