    We ate with our friends Scott and Amy and ordering apps was a great start , 3 was the right amount - Thai Peanut Noodles served cold, Ahi Tacos - had a little kick, and the buratta - amazingly fresh.

    The drinks here are stellar. The watermelon mojito - I would drink that daily, if it was a healthy life choice. My friend ordered the ginger Cosmo and loved it! The crispy chicken and burrata were 👍

    Really impressed with this place. Get yourself a Macallan Snake Bite. Almost all their food on the menu are amazing. Chicken Tawook was delicious. Enjoy the good time.

    Roasted corn soup with falafel, simply rich and incredible. The crab cake sandwich is probably the best I have had since moving to LA. Had the chips their famous chips and blue cheese. Amazing.

    The picante margarita is delicious but super spicy! You can ask for less spice and an extra splash of agave, sooo good! Love the corn soup, mussels are amazing, short rib is too notch!

    Ahi taco appetizer, duck meatballs, & Giselle crab cake are yummy! Also the watermelon mojito is delish if you like sweeter tropical drinks.

    Eggs and dairy are laced throughout the patty, toppings and bun making this a non-vegan friendly veggie burger

    Bread pudding yummy. Lamb Crepe double yum. A bit noisy cause of terrible acoustics so plan on shouting a bit if the restaurant is full so you can hear whoever you are seated next to.

    The blue cheese chips are good, but super heavy. The wild mushrooms and roasted sweet corn are also good, but maybe a little too rich.

    The burrata is amazing and unique. Apples, berries, and croutons give it amazing flavor and texture. Get that, the Tawook, and a Honey Rye cocktail or 2 and call it a meal.

    The salmon dish was good with Israeli couscous, but again I want more food for $22.00. Trendy atmosphere & a great screen for the football game.
