Fun lunch with my bestie who comes here often with her mom. I’m not sure why it was my first time, but I’ve been missing out. We shared a half dozen order of the oysters, a salad, a pasta and a pizza. They were kind enough to serve the pasta already portioned separately. Everything was delightful. We both ended up having a little bit of leftovers which we both took to go and finished at home.

I had the most amazing craving I’ve fettuccine Alfredo… Chicken, fettuccine Alfredo and I did not regret coming here. The hostess was extremely cool and very helpful as I needed to be guided here because I got lost lol she was so cool she stayed on the phone with me for about five minutes and helped me find my way here, and I was so grateful.! The bread, the appetizer bread I should say order the butter it is absolutely delicious! Get two types. I enjoyed the soft bread, but when I got my chicken fettuccine Alfredo? I was immediately in heaven I love the size of the noodles, and I comped it with a glass of lemonade I found the service to be exceptionally friendly. I was very grateful I love the atmosphere, and I can’t say enough good things about my waiter. If you want an elegant experience that ironically is in the middle of one of the biggest outdoor malls in Los Angeles, then find your way here! I had a cappuccino that I mixed with sweet sugar and it was the perfect finish the lovely evening I would’ve eaten so much bread I would’ve ordered dessert lol

Wife wanted to try this place for a while and definitely did not disappoint. The risotto was definitely one of the better ones. Wife and kids loved the risotto. The calamari was a great portion for family to share. What stood out here the most was the service. Service was impeccable here. Will frequent this place!

The foods are okay with a lot of different choices of pasta, pizza and other main dishes. However, does not feel welcomed by the manager and staff from stepping in the restaurant. We get very annoying that that waiting keep trying to clear plate while there are still foods in there and without asking if we want to keep it or not. It feel like they want to rush you to get next course. Even after they clear the starter plate, it still take ages to get served main course. I order a non alcoholic spicy mango cocktail which suppose to come with Tajin rink but it did not. I get a plain mango lime juice instead. I have to ask where is the spicy? Very disappointed

Pretty good. The service was really great, a lot of attentive staff. The olive oil and bread were good, and we got the caesar salad. Ordering the salad, we asked for anchovies on the side, the waiter did not notify us that the anchovies didn't come with the salad and that is was extra, so that miscommunication was an extra ~$4 and that's where the 4 stars are as a result. The entree branzino was amazing and good atmosphere.

We stopped by for happy hour. The menu was quite extensive. We ordered the truffle mushroom pizza. Initially there was a mini mishap, we got a wrong pizza with tomato sauce and no truffle. The server was gracious and immediately replaced it for us. The pizza was over flowing with good amount of mushroom and flavor was excellent. You can see they did not skimp on ingredients. $14 for that? Totally worth it!

Incredible quality food and service. The tuna was seared to perfection and more impressively the tomatoes were so bright and rich with amazing flavor. The martini exploded with summer flavors of peach and it was incredibly smooth. I always have a great dining experience here, even with my high standards of excellence.
