Mazda: Many tantalizing tapas and a great list of wines to try. Try the bacon wrapped dates, they're delicious!
Eater: With 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.
ZAGAT: If you don’t have a reservation, try the bar.

RJ Dugan: The hamachi sashimi Is insanely good. Lobster roll is bite size but really good. Fried chicken sandwich is maybe the best I've ever had.
Mark Hoppus: Everything we ordered was delicious, but we REALLY loved the albacore!
Los Angeles Times: The most popular dish? Definitely the fried chicken sandwich, with coleslaw and what must be the only aioli on the planet spiked with Rooster hot sauce. Read more.
