    A great restaurant within walking distance of the LA Convention Center. That it's a renovated firehouse makes for a great atmosphere, and the food was excellent. Kellie - Community Manager

    My favorite place in the city. Great atmosphere, staff, and menu. Tops is the fried chicken, meatloaf, and the chips they bring out are addictive. If I lived/worked downtown I'd be here everyday.

    The lady at the door was rather intimidating than welcoming but the turkey special was very good. And 30% off giblets was nice too.

    Good meal; slow service even if you tell them you're seeing a show. However, they have their own shuttle service so convenient to theatres.

    This place has really fallen off food-wise ever since the old GM left. Used to be a huge fan now just hugely disapointed.
