Beautiful dining experience. A definite gem in LA and worth going for those who enjoy fine dining that explores unique and unexpected flavors. Service is friendly and very professional. Best savory dish is the quail and the best sweet dish is the blackberries dessert. Every dish was presented in an artistic way.

All the dinner dishes were terrific. New, fresh flavors. The wine paining was top notch but way overpriced. The desserts were just ok and one was only barely eatable.

Food is fantastic and truly original but the test of the experience leaves you cold. For the price we expected a lot more in both service and comfort. Oddly felt rushed during the early seating which might just be a new restaurant hiccup. If you like boldly creative flavors and plating this is the place. However with a check approaching $800 per diner with the modest beverage pairing there are better options out there. We really wanted to love it and went back in 2017 when they first opened. Not much has changed except it now less interactive and less thrilling.

One of the waiters was a little short with us but everyone was awesome. The food is not really my taste. The presentation and the experience were amazing!

The most gorgeous food I have ever seen in a great environment. The taste and portions often left a lot to be lacking and it just took a long time.

Amazing! From the heated benches in the garden to the goodbye at the end of the night, everything was excellent. Each dish was impressive - the flavor, the texture, the cooking techniques, and the presentation were wonderful. The portion sizes were perfect for 11 courses. Four presentations of quail were delicious. And just as we thought about wanting bread to wipe up a bit of remaining quail yolk sauce, a small roll (fried in quail fat), arrived. Perfect timing and perfect flow. The wine pairings are diverse and similarly inspired, complementing each course. From Austria to South Africa to California, each wine could stand on its own without overshadowing the food. Looking forward to returning...
