Little Beast - Los Angeles

Charming and intimate. Delicious food. Off a main road so outdoor seating is subject to the traffic noise but shortly after it all becomes white noise and you end up enjoying being outdoors. Pretty small parking lot.

Good food. Good wine selection. Nice patio in good weather. Service was prompt and attentive. Limited parking. Park across the street. The side streets are narrow and posted. We'll be back.

Parking is a bit dicey. We got there fairly early and found plenty of street parking but when we left it was pretty scarce. No reservation and we were seated immediately, but again we came early so YMMV. Ordered the Grilled Pork Chop with pear mostarda (absolutely delicious 5 , Toasted Garlic Parsley Fries with a quite spicy ranch (I loved it but my spouse found it too spicy, 4 , and Crispy Brussel Sprouts (we both enjoyed the complex but delicious sauce 4.5 . Service was attentive but not overly so. I originally thought the menu was a bit pricey but I changed my mind after seeing the generous portions in my opinion a good value. We're likely to come back to explore more of the menu.

This place does wonders everytime I visit it.I love vibes, I love amazing quality food, I love alcohol, and I freaking love amazing service. Sadly didn't make a reservation but no worries I was not going to leave empty handed. They gave us an amazing bar experience. We had an amazing bartender, thank you to the staff for keeping us entertained and taking us on a food journey. This place hit all the right spots. JUST GO AND EXPERIENCE THIS!

Staff and poor management ruined our Mother's Day dinner. 1. Restaurant ran out of food, because of poor planning on Mother's Day. My mother only eats fish for meat. As a result, we had their terrible and overpriced and bland $28 pasta. Not recommended. The waiter did not inform the fish was not available. Because he was slow, someone else ordered the last one. Don't order this. Definitely not worth the money. 2. We also ordered the $18 burger. I don't know what everyone is raving out. It's not that a burger can't be worth that cost. But did they add truffles? A wonderful cheese? Handmade aioli? Nope. Overpriced and average burger as well. 3. In general, the waiter did a bad job, by not being attentive to our needs such as not bringing out water or cleaning our table or asking what else was required. 4. The waiter and onsite manager knew we were unhappy, and showed poor professionalism by not considering that this was a special occasion, Mother's Day, for us.. On the plus side: 5. The Brussel sprouts and bread are good. I do give them that. 6. They gave us $10 off the dessert, but for my palate, it was sickly sweet. My guest thought it was reasonable. Although the onsite manager gave us the $10 dessert, I don't think she understood how this was a special occasion that was ruined by the Chef and Manager's poor planning and service. The question is: Would they want all this to happen to them for Mother's Day. I complained to the Chef and owner, Sean, who was defensive, unsympathetic, and only offered drinks to come back. I tried several times, but he lacks customer service orientation and is generally very stubborn and has an over inflated view of his food. There was no sense of taking personal responsibility or ownership for the problems, such as poor planning and poor service and poor training. Sean also has problems with knowing how important special occasions are for people and making things right with people. In short, his values reflect greed, as he would rather put money above relationships. Food here is overpriced and generally not very good. (Perhaps, it was a busy day, but it's still part of professionalism to plan and adjust for such times. Absolutely, not recommended. Save your money and go somewhere else. Paul
