Went to celebrate a family member's birthday after going to another restaurant that was closed unexpectedly. Tried to reserve a table for a party of 6 before opening, but was told to just check in at the Host Stand. Went and were turned away because they were booked completely. Thankfully the GM Scott came out and got ... us a table as long as we were out by a specific time. The place is smaller than expected, but certainly nice. Our server was absolutely wonderful, and very attentive. The entrees were incredible and the desserts decadent. So grateful they were able to accommodate last second and for such a larger party. We had a wonderful time. Thank you to the GM Scott.♡ Read More

Love love love love love this place. Food is delicious and fairly priced and the bread in the garlic oil is INSAAAAANE. And they are old school with a proper Maitre D. Scott is the man. Right in the heart of main st. Too. This is one of my favorite restaurants in LA
