"Charming and fun-loving in Studio City, this hangout from Jeff Strauss is worth visiting for its cocktails alone, but it’s best enjoyed by ordering plates to share from a menu that’s described as pure fun. It has become an instant Valley classic thanks to dishes like Strauss’s pickle bento box, a wagyu pastrami quesadilla, and a lovely Peruvian scallop crudo; despite crudo being ubiquitous in Los Angeles, this version stands out for its refreshing Filipino calamansi citrus infusion and aji amarillo that brings ample flavor without overwhelming heat, making it the kind of dish where you might battle friends for the last scallop or just shamelessly grab it first." - Eater Staff
