Came here to celebrate our anniversary and had high hopes since we've heard great reviews for the LA location. The restaurant was decorated nicely with classy decor. Our booth felt private and overlooked the rest of the tables. The service was somewhat spotty. The hostess was pleasant, our main waiter was nice but seemed to have disappeared toward the end of dinner. The guys who brought our the food were very nice and attentive. Appetizers: 1) sea scallops- came with 3 large scallops which were perfectly cooked; however the taste was lacking. It had a very light lemony butter taste but it just didn't stand out. I would not order this again. 2) wagyu tartare- this was one of my favorites. Delicious and flavored just right. Came with plenty of crostini to spread that delicious meat on. If you like tartare- try it! 3) rib eye steak- very big disappointment!! It was more than $50 and came lukewarm. Seasoned and cooked well but the temperature really killed it. It was also way too fatty and we had to cut large chunks of fat out to eat it. I love my fat but it was just too much. 4) braised short ribs- this was very flavorful and tender. I wish it came with some sort of starch to balance it out. Eating this by itself was a bit too salty and it was difficult to eat a lot of it. 5) risotto side dish- I really liked this one with red corn, prosciutto and cilantro. Great flavors and risotto cooked just right! 6) monkey bread for dessert- got this because of all the fantastic reviews. It cane warm and soft but way too sweet for my taste :( Overall it was an extremely pricey meal for subpar food. I'm disappointed Tom!
