Jasmine FaustFebruary 24, 2013Amazing cocktail list but order off menu. Go with a sidecar (meant to be made with cognac) and perfectly balanced! I am am an admitted classic cocktail snob and it did not did not disappoint! :-)
Nick StanzioneJuly 18, 2015Cocktails (strawberry jalapeño one has a nice kick), fried cauliflower surprisingly delicious, gnudi and tagliatelle 👌 the fried nutter butter if you still have any room left
Rayshawn WilliamsMay 31, 2016The grilled corn is excellent. You get a different flavor with each corn assuming you use one of the seasonings/sauces/cheese that's given per corn.
Brad HagerJune 30, 2017GREAT place, nice clientele. Very good craft cocktails, food is really good too. The fried spring rolls (pic) are AMAZING!!
Naz F. GérdabiFebruary 25, 2019If you come for brunch, i highly recommend the Egg Sandwich! Also, you have to try the French Toast 😛
Joe ParrilliAugust 23, 2012Go on Tuesday/Wednesday,because that's when Lacey is at the bar and she rocks! (Ray and Anthony also rock). Good booze, great drinks, deep fried fluffer nutter, there's no better combo anywhere!
Klara LichtJune 23, 2014Great cocktails. Mr. Broccoli is doing a great job. The mussels have a great spicy sweet sauce. And try the date cake. Seems to be a date place ...- Be adventurous and ask the bartender to make you something off the menu. You can't go wrong with trusting some of the best mixologists LA has to offer. Don't forget to tip well!
Sydney WilliamsJanuary 6, 2016Amber & Embers cocktail is legit. Shrimp toasts are bomb. Everything we tried was INCREDIBLE.
Martini MikeMarch 20, 2015Finally made it in and was impressed. Great staff, tapas, and cocktails! I will be back.
- LisaMarch 5, 2013This place sure knows how to do mixology properly! Red Hot and Bothered cocktail was delicious and perfectly balanced. Tapas were delicious as well.
Cocktails are sweet if that's your thing. All employees wear street clothes and you can't tell who works here which can be... fun.- Don't forget to save room for dessert. The deep fried fluffer nutter is a perfect blend of bananas, peanut butter, and mallow. All wrapped up and fried to golden perfection.
- threjymy hertwhnrtydhfMarch 29, 2014Amazing! You can not change any of the food. But well worth it. Everything was very unique and amazingly prepared!
Jason CMay 26, 2017Everything we tried at brunch was delicious, but the biscuits were more like scones than biscuits.
Neesa RNOctober 13, 2012Great ambiance. The Red Hot and Bothered was delish, not too spicy & the food was good - Short ribs on brioche is a must try!
Ryan SimpkinsFebruary 25, 2013The new sope is amazing! Every Spanish flavor you could imagine in one bite!
Jackie GudgelMay 4, 2014The sign is blank and doesn't say anything.. The valet tipped me off that I was in the right place. Drinks are strong! Love it.
BollareNovember 27, 2012Artfully prepared cocktails and DELISH eats from Top Chef Antonia Lofaso. Go and order the spicy chocolate pudding. –Ashley
Deviled quail eggs. Can't ever have a meal here without them. Perfect to go with drinks.
Larisa GrollemondOctober 6, 2016Cool place for drinks and small plates, the deviled quail eggs are amazing!- Cocktails are solid - so solid that I save my beer & wine orders for other places.

The food here is AMAZING and Kenneth is the best server :)
This place is great! I recommend the Red Hot & Bothered cocktail and the Oxtail Ragu.
Joe JohnsonFebruary 12, 2012The Amber and Embers is amazing... But, you must like whiskey to appreciate it. Thanks to original tipster.
Flobo BoyceJune 11, 2015Brown furniture, overpriced drinks and grub and a place to be seen. It's Starbucks for the "after work" set
Jason H.August 5, 2016Very very loud. Cool small plates to share but forget trying to talk to the people you are with.
LA Home & StyleMarch 11, 2013Serving wonderfully creative cocktails and amazing food and great place to unwind.
Ridiculously secretly good. So secret you can't even find it on Google! Fantastic service and beautiful place.
Beau ColburnApril 14, 2013Delicious food and a great drink menu. Surprised to see a Kingston Swizzle on the menu, to my wife’s delight.
Jon ReepDecember 16, 2012The chicken boa here is better than the chicken boa across the street at "take a boa". How boa that!?
Chase FritchleAugust 10, 2013Cocktails are filled with ice. Test the bartenders and order without. :)
Samantha IlyceJuly 2, 2011A little pricey but the food and drinks are awesome! You have to try the dill chips!
Shaul DvirAugust 19, 2013Cool place. Real noisy so no first dates there. There is a secret room in the back. But AC is poor.
They stir their Vespers because they respect the gin. +1

"The Clockwork Orange is fantastic! The Maple House (Fall special) was more like desert. Save it for last."

"Best cocktails! The atmosphere is out of This world. A hidden gem in this big and crowded city, with live salsa and dancers. By far my favorite spot for a night out"
