Evan WhiteFebruary 21, 2012by far the coolest new spot on Wilshire. Finally a place that has style. If you're looking for the wannabe nightclub spot in SM keep walking a few more steps, if you want something unique - walk in
Brian TothNovember 11, 2012Sunday brunch, live jazz, bottomless mimosas, and... Chicken & waffles (with the best garlic lemon butter ever!) .. Pulled pork Benedict really good as well!
Manda CurrellFebruary 24, 2013Nice place with friendly bartenders. It seems the uniform requires that they have their bras on show..somewhat at odds with the feel of the place. Also, note happy hour is only on weekdays
Christina BrehmSeptember 14, 2012Ginger Kiss. Short rib tacos. Charleston burger. Chocolate chip bread pudding. Enjoy! :)
Brian JensenMay 19, 2010Happy hour is 6-8, all night Tuesday. 2 for 1 well drinks. Chicken Schnitzel Salad was great. Start the night with a glass of wine, finish with a few scotches. Bartenders are fun. Read more
Debby BlumenthalMay 6, 2012Try the chicken and waffles for brunch. Delicious! Also had the cucumber gin martini- tart and delightful.
LIVESTRONG_COMSeptember 10, 2010A funky, dimly lit piano bar with an American jazz-era feel. Check out their live music schedule so you can get in a little dance to alleviate the day's stress.
Best kept happy hour secret. 2 for 1 drinks and awesomely creative apps. All you worker bees in the area...check it out. Great opp for office happy hour parties
Stephanie LeskyOctober 1, 2013Great Happy Hour 5:30-8 Daily. Great combo - Short rib tacos and truffle mac.
Grilled Chicken Breast & Cucumber Tomato salad is fantastic. Garlic fries rule. Great talent. Say hello to Ronnie and Louie the owners, friendly guys!
Marelina WilfordSeptember 2, 2012Great brunch spot!! Bottomless mimosas ($12) and live jazz! Heaven!!!
Joel MillerJuly 31, 2010The vintage ambiance and the variety of talented jazz musicians make this the best joint in town!!
The burger is solid. Manhattan is fresh and balanced. Love the live music!
FrostyMay 6, 2011Sit in front of any bartender and watch cocktail madness happen. Then order something NEW.
Ryan WilliamsAugust 21, 2010Ask garet about the chaquita banana. You won't regret it. And order the bar b q sliders.
I had a great spicy shrimp pizza tonight and my girlfriend had the Arctic Char - delicious.
