ℳ𝒶𝓎♍June 19, 2015One of my all time favorite restaurants in LA. The vibe is cool and definitely pleases your palate with an explosion of unique flavors. The ambience is casual but at the same time classy and romantic- EaterOctober 30, 2013With a new full bar and revamped California-style menu, the tastefully designed eatery is perfectly poised for drinks with friends at the bar up front or a quiet date in one of the back booths.

Richard MorrisMarch 3, 2014Utterly delicious and the staff was completely cool and fun. I'd recommend this place highly and although I didn't get it for myself, I almost at all of my friend's chix & waffles... Amazing!!!- EmmaApril 6, 2017Everything is delicious there! We had a cheese plate and then the sweet potatoes/bacon and the curried cauliflower, everything was very tasty and the service is great too.
Caitlin TaylorMay 1, 2016Tons of small plates, as well as larger platters. Large selection of wine, beers and cocktails. Great ambience, great service. Loved the polenta with mushrooms!
Connie ChiuJanuary 27, 2020Love the beef cheeks! So tender and flavorful. Chicken liver crostini and Spanish fried chicken were among the favs. Focaccia and winter squash and cheese plates are good too.
Nathan KamMarch 25, 2014Fantastic menu and the fried chicken is a must have! The bacon wrapped dates shouldn't be missed either.
EpicuriousMarch 5, 2015Order the rustic pãtés and the lamb skewers with sunchokes and niçoise olives. There are about 50 wines by the glass and many more by the bottle, most well chosen. Read more
Yvette LiuSeptember 3, 2015Must order fried spicy chicken & the fusion flavor Suckling pig conflict fish with coconut rice ❤️ try and reserve the patio seats
Thomas ColtonJuly 28, 2015Concede the fact that you will have to valet. Concede the fact that a cocktail is $14 minimum. Concede the fact that it's packed. Now what? You have just an outstanding wine bar. Get the silver fox.
Danny NathanJune 12, 2017Had a delicious dinner here the other night. Standouts were the clams and cherry cobbler for dessert. Quiet/cozy. Good for a date night.
Cynthia SMay 13, 2014Everything was delicious! Pictured are the Polenta with Mushrooms, Scallops, Chocolate Tart and Butterscotch Pot de Creme.
Jared NorthropFebruary 19, 2013Visual cues puts you in southern France. Very cool space. Upstairs lounge sets a great romantic mood. changed wine format, still good but no more short pours and carafes.
Andrew LazereJuly 28, 2013Great seating on the patio in this old Spanish style building. My lunch was the Vintner's Platter. Delicious. Great to see my son, sister and brother-in-law
Carlos PachecoJuly 16, 2014If you're dining here with a group you have to go for the Lamb Tagine. It's a must!
Ernesto GonzalezJuly 8, 2016Fantastic wine list and amazing food. Ask for Sean, he is great and has the best suggestions on what to order.- EpicuriousAugust 23, 2010Small plates of delicious food like rustic pâtés are the norm here. Make sure you book your table well in advance, as it is still hard to find a seat at this popular spot, five years after opening!
