This place is beyond amazing! Food was excellent. Service was perfect. They have a new manager who makes sure every person is happy with there experience and food. I really appreciated it. As a nice gesture he also gave us some free churros. We were up in studio city for a 3 day project. We can here 2 out of the 3 days. Came for dinner, no wait, seating outdoor and very dog friendly which is a huge plus. ( gave us dog water bowls ) we came back the next day for Brunch and it was very yummy. Would recommend for a quick bite, brunch or a good place to get a drink with your dog.

Where do I begin the food was way under expectations! The steak we ordered was so chewy and hard and had very unpleasant after taste. This plate was served on top of some orange mashed potatoes, which I honestly don't understand. Then we tried their salmon tarta which was so strong and fishy with a very awkward blend of green beans inside. I ordered their shrimp tacos and was so disgusted. The tortillas were not even cooked just seemed like they had been microwaved and they were extremely salted! And my shrimp tacos were served in a mayonnaise sauce with cabbage mixed into it? Which again were super salty!! Wish they would have put the serving style on the menu. Their dessert was extremely sweet. Secondly, the restaurant wasn't too busy but for some reason it took our waiter a very long time to get our drinks and forgot to bring us waters. Their lime mocktail was the best thing from their entrie menu

Came here the other night for the first time and wow so glad I did. The food was amazing, the place had a super chill vibe to it, and the staff was super friendly, especially Rachel! Thanks so much and look forward to bringing my friends with next time.

Thank you Andy for making our Sunday happy hour exceptional. We were driving by and decided to stop by on our way home. Your professionalism and knowledge of the menu and bar made for a truly enjoyable afternoon. Thanks Andy!

Went to Gray Tavern in Studio City with my husband and our 4 legged chocolate lab daughter. It was Sunday Funday! We had the most amazing food. Everything was phenomenal. The avocado toast was so fresh and scrumptious . We also had the baked omelette which was amazing, it would make Julie Childs love. Our gorgeous waitress was Emmy and she was so nice and efficient . They loved our four legged Babygirl. If you want a marvelous brunch in a beautiful setting this is the place. All the food was fantastic. We cannot wait to come back for dinner. Most likely I’m coming back for a ladies Bunko aka Drunko party. Lastly the GM Mark was right on the Mark. Don’t miss out on one of Studio City’s new hidden gems!!

Highly recommend the stuffed French toast! It was sweet and delicious without being too heavy or rich Their cocktails were also amazing, you HAVE TO try the covfefe if you like coffee and slightly sweet cocktails! The atmosphere is also nice in the semi outdoor seating area They do seem a little short staffed, even when they only had a couple of tables of people there were long wait times

The Gray Tavern itself is a bit small. I'm guessing Covid is the reason no one was really sitting inside. I like how all the TVs are in Black & White. Apparently the owner is color blind 😉. The outdoor seating is nice. Not very spacious but nice. Decor is nice with an undertone of basic/seen it before. We moved seats because although they made an effort to socially distance us, the music was a bit too loud coupled with the conversations of multiple groups. To defeat this purpose they sat a party of 2 right next to us. Effort out the window. For some reason there is a separate outdoor seating area that is adjacent to the alleyway and alley parking. So if someone leaves and fires up the ole AMG you might get a face full of exhaust while eating. 😋 Yum, 91 Octane. We still preferred to stay. Worthy tradeoff. I believe where we were sitting was apart of the wine lounge and not apart of Grays but directly connected. They didn't care where we sat. The food: I ordered the Lemon Chicken. It took a good 20min to come out so I'm assuming it was made fresh. The portion was very small so 20+ bucks at first sight I thought to myself quality over quantity. I was right. It was actually really good. I asked for the sauce on the side so I could get a good taste of the quality of the chicken by itself. It reminded me of the organic chicken I get from Belcampo. In the pic I had already started eating. I'm fat. The sauce just sent it over the top. It was very rich. Not too tangy, not too sweet. I wasn't full but I was satisfied. I've definitely had better and they could have cooked the potatoes more but it was good. The service was as attentive as you'd expect when a restaurant is busy and except for a simple lapse of memory by the waitress I have no complaints. We ordered drinks. Jack and coke came in a tall glass. Maybe more coke than jack. Jameson on the rocks. Nice big singular rock. Doesn't taste watered down. Decent portion. Not sure of the price. I never pay attention to the prices of drinks at places like this but in the end the bill came to just under 74 bucks. Not bad. I don't remember how many drinks we ordered. I was drinking. All I know is this place was worth slapping a big face on the table and walking out no change. So obviously a moderate tip was warranted. Overall. I recommend. 😁

This place has a pretty chill atmosphere. The portions of the food are HUGE so plan on bringing back leftovers. The garlic fries were definitely on point so don’t miss out on those. Also the drinks are pretty good too. The bar area looked fun even though we sat outside so I will definitely be back. Seems like a great place to eat lunch or dinner with friends or go watch the game with the bros.

Hey! I am the host of the Open Mic Night that Grant G.'s party attended and this is just a note to clarify an overall unfortunate evening, I am not an employee of Gray Tavern and I volunteer host the event. I tried to post this as a response to their review but I am unsure of how to do so on this platform. A. This review omits the fact that this party was attending a scheduled Variety Style Open Mic Night performance, which was posted both physically at the location and on social media, and was verbally announced at least twice before beginning. B. That the party members were invited to sign up for the Open Mic Performance and they declined to sign up. C. That the venue was at comfortable capacity, and all of the other tables were at the venue specifically for the Open Mic Performance. D. That I, the host of the Performance, received complaints that the party was overly loud, and personally observed them being the loudest conversation in the space for a very subdued musical performance. This was confirmed by one of the other audience parties after the event had ended. E. There are approximately six seating areas in the front area of the Gray Tavern, this party was in the middle of the seating area. F. When it became apparent that the party was unaware of their imposing volume, I attempted a crowd-quieting call and response moment to remedy the situation, at which point they continued to speak over everyone. G. After approximately thirty seconds of this, I, the identified host, walked over to the table and offered to buy the party a round of wine and to help them move out to a table on the patio, noting that I did not want to ruin their conversation/evening and that the patio, which was not full, may be better suited to their goals of catching up and would also accommodate the goals of the performers attempting to record their performances. They declined and continued their conversation. At this point, the evening devolved, at no fault of the venue, in a way that was addressed as inappropriate to all parties involved after the performance. This review represents one side of an overall unfortunate evening, which unfairly represents the caliber of the Gray Tavern, due to heightened emotional experiences and themselves not acknowledging the nature of the event around them. Open Mic Performances are inherently places for the inexperienced and unskilled to gain those qualities, and in my personal opinion, it is a credit to the Gray Tavern for welcoming such community-building activities. Also I was unaware that Compliments are not publicly posted so I apologize if the first paragraph of this was sent to Grant G. directly by mistake.

Great drinks and great food! Love the outdoor patio vibes too. I came here with a girlfriend for some drinks and food and was super impressed. Our waitress Sydney was SO friendly and provided great service. We ordered french fries, wings, and shrimp tacos. The food was so good! The shrimp in the tacos was juicy and cooked well. Also loved the guac on top. The wings were not your typical buffalo wings, they were almost sweet and spicy. I really enjoyed them. Fries were great to share as the portion was pretty large. I would come back here just for drinks and vibes. On a weekday evening is was super chill, but I have seen it get busy on weekends. I am definitely going to make this my new spot to grab drinks with friends. I am looking forward to coming back and trying more of their food!

Had a great time visiting Gray Tavern. The patio out the back is a really nice chill vibe to hang with friends or a low key date night. The service seemed to have been on the slower side. With a couple more staff it can certainly alleviate stress on staff and a more efficient service for guests. The drinks were well made and flavorful. The smoked salmon flatbread could have done with some capers, lemon juice or balsamic glaze to give it a salty or vinegar kick. The seared salmon was really nice as was the crispy cauliflower. Parking is either street or you can park in the Ralph's parking lot across the street. Definitely a cute little gem worth checking out if you're in the area!

My friend and I met at Gray Tavern for dinner and drinks after work. This place has great vibes. It felt like we were in a chic LA restaurant without actually having to go to dtla (which I avoid at all costs now. Lol). The outdoor patio was lovely. The cocktails were good. Our appetizer was amazing. Cooked with lemon, Greek yogurt, mint, red onion, and roasted garlic, the crispy cauliflower was quite possibly the best cauliflower dish I have ever had. Sadly, the mac and cheese was bland and unimpressive in comparison. Nevertheless, everything else was a hit and the mac and cheese was the only miss, hence the 4 stars. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.

Lots of options in the neighborhood - this strikes a sweet spot with cozy atmosphere, tastiness, and value. Lemon Chicken Picata - I always HAVE to try new things, but can't stop reordering this! Fine-dining quality intensity/balance of flavors. Must try. Mashed potatoes are perfect. Veggies are too familiar, but charred al dente the best they could. Overall, so comforting! They also had a seasonal spiced Christmas ale - a welcome break from hazey/IPAs. Surprisingly well done by El Segundo brewery; not too sweet to mask the nice 9% abv.

Not sure if it was an off night because of the rain, but Gray Tavern wasn't what we were expecting. We walked into an empty bar with the football game loudly on. It was kind of awkward for us because we thought (according to the reviews) that the environment would be a bit more of a toned down, cozy type of experience. My husband ordered a beer ($9) and I got the Oaxacan Fall ($15), which was basically a mezcal old fashioned with earl grey syrup. The cocktail was actually quite interesting and tasty. FYI they don't have happy hour on the weekends, which was a little disappointing because that's what's on the online menu. The ones in the photos are up to date. I'm inclined to give them another try at some point.

I will start with the positive, the food and service. Greek salad with chicken was flavorful. Portion was really satisfying. My friend really enjoyed her burger and fries. Cauliflower was also tasty. Prices are reasonable. Drinks are also good and standard prices. Service was friendly. Negative, and why I will hesitate to go back, the tables outside are really terrible. They are sticky, and wobbly. The chairs are wobbly and uncomfortable as well. It is so distracting! The music is just horribly loud. Seats are so close together, I was bumped into a few times by other diners. Really awful layout back there and uncomfortable dining experience.

So after leaving my review, a friend of the owners decided to messsge me! She also left a clap back review saying I lied about my experience. I did not! She also double down on dogs. Saying the dog was no where near me, as if that matters! Apparently they break this law all the time, and this huge dog is allowed on the dining room floor, weekly! It is not a service animal. I wonder what other California health laws they ignore, because there are a lot of reviews where people got sick from eating here. Looking at their violations, food not being stored correctly etc. guarantees I will not be back! So they can thank Phyllis when the health department comes with a fine for having animals in the restaurant. Customers should not have to be harassed by owners friends, but that's what they do here.

I wish we could have rated the food and/or drinks. We set reservations well in advance for 6 for a friend's birthday for a Saturday evening. Our friend got a phone call at 4pm on the same Saturday that our reservation was cancelled as they received a buy out for the entire restaurant for a private event. Who does that? Oh right, Grays Tavern does. We would have totally understood if we called for reservations and were told that in advance. But two hours before our reservations is just bad business. Inconsiderate to all your other guests. Mistake, big mistake. We all are huge Angeleno foodies that frequent our valley and cities' restaurants. For this, we won't bother trying to visit again. There are way too many beautiful restaurants in SFV and LA who wouldn't consider last minute closings of their restaurant to the deficit of other patrons. Shame on you, Mr Gray.

Stopped by for happy hour on a Sunday afternoon. The bartender team was excellent and so was their cocktail program. Chris made a killer spicy margarita called the HotShot. At only $8 during happy hour it was a good deal. He also made some other fantastic cocktails when I let him pick some he thought I would like. My favorite was his whiskey sour. We thought the fried chicken burger would have been better. Nice quality in the chicken but it was just missing something. The fries were thick and done perfectly. My favorite appetizer was the mint Labneh and Feta. It was really tasty and a good looking dish too. Wish they had some food options on hh but all and all a good time.

We had the best time here last week! Great for big groups and small gatherings! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The inside is very spacious and if you follow through the bar area it will lead you to an outdoor patio. A little loud for our group so we decided to sit inside. Our bar tender and server was the very handsome and friendly Zane. He suggested a lovely chilled Chardonnay and the crispy grilled chicken burger for me. Spot on!!!! My friends ordered the Tuna Burger and a regular burger. All of our orders came with fries. Our servings were huge and very tasty. The tavern bar had a few tv screens and plenty of seating. It was obvious that many of the patrons were regulars and were quite at home here. We will be back for sure! Next time I think we will sit out back!

Food: 5/5 Service:5/5 Ambiance:5:5 Overdue Review but we came on a Thursday Night pouring with rain. We were the only ones here but it was a cool place upon entering. The vibe was cozy, intimate, and casual. It is a great place to go by yourself, catch up with friends, or even a chill date to grab some food. Our waiter was awesome. He took the time to give recommendations from the food and drink menu. He was also very friendly and we cracked some laughs and good spirits! He repeatedly checked on us and made sure we were satisfied with our meals. He was wonderful and would be glad to dine in again to be served by him. Food and drinks were also great!! I loved my burger and the fries were delicious! I ate everything off my plate. My friend also liked their nachos and wow it was huge! I'm thinking next time I order the nachos because it looked IMPRESSIVE!

Came here on a Friday night and we were immediately greeted by the friendly bartender who helped get us seated and took our food order. The patio in the back is so romantic and beautiful and perfect for a quiet date night. The food was decent, we had the salmon, a flatbread and the cauliflower (cauliflower was my fave!) and I also had a margarita which was great! The staff was super friendly but I think this place may be a little understaffed as the service took a long time, however it might be a little faster on a weeknight. If I come back it would be for a few cocktails and the outdoor vibe

Great atmosphere and our bartender truly worked his butt off for us. We had called and said we were a big party and still the poor guy was all by himself to prep his bar and take care of us thirsty and hungry folks. Food is good. Great happy hour! 1 negative - Was hit over the head when we walked in with the smell of cleaner. And that smell did NOT dissipate over the evening... and the floor VERY sticky. I would go back - very nice back patio with heaters...

Went to gray tavern on a Saturday morning around 10am for breakfast. We made a reservation on Yelp but there was ample seating when we got there. The server was really nice. We went with the chicken and waffles which came with some berries. We also ordered a vanilla latte. Everything was very mediocre. The coffee didn't hit the spot and I wish we didn't order it there, and just gotten coffee elsewhere. The chicken and waffles was super basic too-- nothing special. I enjoyed the berries though lol. The back patio had heaters which was nice, and they had some larger tables for big parties. I probably won't be returning unless it's for a larger gathering and we can't find another place to accommodate.

Cocktails at the Tavern! A hidden gem with lots of seating at the bar, at a table in back in the patio-ish area or overlooking the street via window seating. This diamond in a haystack is near Universal Studios off Ventura Blvd and Vineland just across from the Ralph's shopping center. Welcome to Studio City! Gray Tavern has a solid selection of familiar and specialty craft spirits as well as a few good selections of craft beer and wine. Happy Hour is daily from 4pm to 6pm and 9pm to close. The food options are vast, though the kitchen is usually closed by 9pm. They do have vegetarian and gf options and can do a lot of vegan friendly nom noms also. There are gender neutral restrooms, lots of street parking (plus in back parking) and great music through the day/night Tommy the bartender is amazing and charming. Thank you for two quality cocktails sir! Vodka Cranberry & Vodka Soda - both well made and with vodka of choice (which isn't considered well drink standards for happy hour). It's good times and great vibes at GT!

-Menu prices are very different from your check prices. This should be fixed. Example: Tuna Burger on menu $18, the check shows $19.95. -Drinks are 3/4 of what they should be. Possibly less. -Dinner came out before our app. Asked to cancel app, server said 'ops! I thought you got it already, I'm sorry.' Then comes back from the kitchen 5 mins later with the app, puts it in front of us while we are eating dinner and said. I think it just got missed in the window so it was there the whole time. It's real good and it's right here so you should try it!' We said "fine. Sure." It was awkward. It was also on the bill. Don't expect a we're sorry we messed up app even if it arrives after your meal.

Went there for brunch yesterday with friends. Checked out the menu before and knew I wanted. Upon being seated we were informed they didn't have SYRUP. Was so confused as to why someone couldn't go across the street to Ralphs and get some for the brunch crowd. Looked over at another table about 20 min mater and they had syrup. Asked about the syrup...one guy had gone to Ralph and showed us the bottle. Food was good but not ok when you can't order quite a few meals.

food was exceptionally good - shrimp fried (buttery, melt in the mouth batter remarkable from that first bite !!! mac&cheese griddle - rich/creamy/delish (the combo was wonderful).. enjoyed a New-Be-Gin-ngs (Tanqueray,cucumber,lime,mint, ginger ale) FANTASTIC DRINK ~ husband had flatbread Prosciutto and a fabulous Long Island Tea (few bartenders KNOW HOW to make and not from a mix) - his flat bread was polished off - we both had two drinks.. dessert was churros with ice cream chcolate drizzle - what could have been better - NOTHING ! no complaints - service nice / food exceptional/ parking is street...

My wife has been wanting to give this place a shot, and judging by her taste, there was no doubt in my mind that this was going to be a solid night. Let's just say she didn't let me down. COVID precautions were followed throughout the restaurant. Dining/drinking at the bar area was closed indefinitely, which was a bummer. It wasn't a big deal for us so we opted to sit in their outdoor patio area. Definitely gorgeous environment and a great place for a romantic yet casual date night. Ordered a couple of cocktail drinks, which were pleasantly delicious and refreshing. We stuck with an appetizer and ordered the queso fundido, which was incredibly heavy and rich for my taste, but still good. Parking was simple enough on Ventura Blvd, but we got lucky and found a spot right out front. I recommend getting here earlier just to be on the safe side.

Food was pretty good. The drinks were standard. However, this is why I am giving a one star review. They had a group of people who came in to do a couple songs and stand up comedy. We were not made aware that this was going on, and there did not seem to be any noticeable signage upon entering. My friends and I were sitting in the back of the bar just having a quiet conversation - not trying to be too loud but medium talking volume so we could hear each other. We were not told by anyone working there upon entering that we needed to not talk during the performance or keep a extra-quiet volume so they could record eachother. The group of people who were performing that night were constantly harassing us while we were enjoying eachothers company in the back of the restaurant. One of them stood up and walked to our table saying that we needed to be silent so they could record this performance for YouTube, and they could hear some talking in the background. At first we were just a bit confused because we were not being loud whatsoever, but the performers were acting as if they were employees and as if we were being obnoxious. Instead of them asking their staff to talk to us, they decided to handle it themselves. They were upset we were talking at regular indoor voice volume in a bar, despite being as far as we could physically could be from the performance. Mind you, this is a bar, we were just there for a couple drinks, this wasn't a concert hall, movie theater, or library. Personally, I am never someone who ever gets called out for being loud or disruptive, and we certainly weren't being anything like that. The problem was, nobody was at the bar because clearly nobody wanted to be around these people who were performing. It was not professional singing, it was clearly for fun - which is good for them, but that was a clear sign that this was not a serious event that required undivided attention. They were upset with anybody who was talking. We weren't at a concert; we were at a restaurant, sitting farthest away from the performers as we could. While one of the older woman was singing, she walked all the way up to our table which was 30 feet across the room and said, "these people are so f*cking rude!" It was so awkward and humiliating because there were only two other couples there who then left because of how awful and awkward the performers were to humiliate us. The stand up comedy guy was then making jokes about suicide that were really cringe and distasteful. When I glanced over at him from accross the bar, he stops his sketch and goes "oh, finally you are paying attention!" We had no idea that the performers there expected the few people that were there to act like it was a concert or show where everyone needed to be dead silent. If we had been approached by someone who actually worked there to let us know that they require a quiet setting, we would have totally been more understanding. They made such a scene out of us, and all of the staff just seemed to ignore what was happening. We were just sitting there having a quiet conversation and catching up since my friends and I haven't seen each other in months, but apparently we were supposed to be paying full attention to the drunk karaoke they were doing at the front of the bar? What an awful experience that completely humiliated us and ruined our night for no reason. I'm guessing they were so upset because we were one of three groups of people that were there. Clearly nobody wanted to go during this hour the bar was open for this reason - hence why it was completely empty. We ended up leaving with how unprofessional, antagonizing, and disrespectful the random people were treating us just trying to enjoy our meal and drinks in the back of the restaurant. Nobody who worked there was present to sort out this conflict brought upon us. I would go ahead and avoid this bar.

Out on a school night!!! (Well, on a Sunday afternoon, but still) Stopped in to Gray Tavern and bellied up to the bar for happy hour. Aaron was super friendly and suggested some beverages for us; sadly for us his shift was ending. However, we were lucky to have Chris K helping us out, so all was great. Jim G and I enjoyed a few different drinks, including the Painkiller and the Hotshot Margarita, made with their pepper-infused tequila. It was super good and I don't even like tequila! Jim also had one of Chris's bartender's choice and he made Jim a delicious version of a whiskey sour. For food, we really enjoyed the Mint Labneh and Feta and we thought the Crispy Cauliflower and Crispy Fried Chicken Sandwich were ok. Not bad, just nothing special. Good music, good vibe, great service. If we are near the area again, we'll hit up Gray Tavern, especially if Aaron or Chris are behind the bar!

The food was so great! We had an impossible burger which I can be picky about usually but it had amazing flavors! Also the chicken sandwhich according to my mom is the BEST SHES EVER HAD. It was so crispy. The house garlic fries were OK just tasted like regular fries, couldn't really taste the garlic. The ambience is very sweet/cute but it can get quite loud if you're next to a rowdy table. We had a good time, but the table next to us was so loud we couldn't hear eachother talk! I think that it's a good place to go out for drinks and good food, but I would go elsewhere for more intimate dinners!

We for an early lunch. If you want to sit on the patio you need to make a reservation. Saturday lunch is perfect not crowded and pleasant. There is loads of street parking. The food came out fast and hot. The service was good. The bartender took our order. He may have been new he was not so knowledgeable but he was a bartender. The coffee an American was delish. This place was unassuming but what a surprise. It was great I'd return

I was around the area at whata peach having coffee and I saw this cafe and decided to give it a try. I came here with my sisters and toddler. Anuar our server/bartender was so nice! He accommodated my toddler and brought out little sides especially for her on the house which I appreciated so much. He also made one of the best bloody Maria's I have had. Food and service overall was great and we can't wait to come back

For many years we driven by this place and never thought to stop and check it out. We were killing sometime on a Saturday and this place came up as walking distance. Hubs likes a great Old Fashion and I like me some fruity tasty drinks with Vodka or Tequila and thats what we got. We came back a second time to grab some grub and it was not that bad. We are def coming back for more and bringing along our friends. Inside and Outside seating.

First, really want to thank Atticus for such a fantastic experience and very accommodating. Staff/bartender teammates were also so kind and welcoming. We had a group of 19-22 adults, called month ahead to set up as I am from out of state. We had pretty much everything on the menu and food was wonderful, enjoyed the environment. Service was GREAT and on top of it! I will be coming back for my work trip soon!

I've been here twice now and the staff is always friendly and the food is always good. I split the chicken and waffles and the avocado toast with a friend and they were both so good!!! I will definitely be coming back here. I love the cute little patio out back - we always sit there.

Great spot! Inside is an intimate setting with a splendid ambiance. Due to covid, seating is only available in their back patio area which is also a nice space. Tables are spaced nicely apart, no concerns for social distancing despite being quaint & intimate. The patio area is covered with a retractable tent, which is great if it becomes too sunny. While seated, the sun came out hitting us directly where we were seated, we requested more shade and they gladly complied! The food was great, perfect portions cooked perfectly! You can taste the quality of the ingredients. I would definitely recommend their chicken and waffles, soo yummy! The cocktails were pretty good too, try the Beez Kneez! So happy I finally tried this spot, always nice to find a gem nearby. Will definitely be coming again!

Cool LA ambience, as judged by NJ traveler. Nice back patio to dine on. Husband and I both liked our meals- I had steak & he had fried chicken sandwich. Would def go back again if in area. Prices were reasonable.

Stopped here after landing at LAX and chose patio seating. It didn't even feel like we were outside. The ambience was casual and relaxing. We ordered the Mac and cheese and fried chicken sandwich. The pasta was steaming hot and creamy with a slight crunch throughout because of the bacon and breadcrumbs. It stayed well-heated because it was served in a cast iron. Loved the aioli and crispy chicken in the sandwich as well. Seemed a little understaffed but service was surprisingly quick. Great experience!

My friends and I had an amazing experience here. We called last minute on Sunday and asked if they could accommodate our group of 30 and they were very welcoming. The food and drinks were incredible. Everyone loved what they got and enjoyed the food here. Probably some of the best breakfast food I've had in a while. (Crispy chicken sandwich was what I got and I loved it) Overall we were really pleased with their hospitality, food, and service . They checked in on us consistently and brought us plenty of condiments (especially ranch). We were all really pleased with the experience and service here and will definitely be back again in the future!

First time there and I can't wait to go back! So glad they were on the DineLA list. The staff are sweet, professional and very attentive. The drinks were so yummy I drank them like lemonade started off sharing two different appetizers which were both so good I can't pick a fave. Then we went to the next course which was Mac & Cheese and Brussels sprouts. Both super delish but if you have to chose pick the Brussels. Steak and lemon chicken were both served with mashed potato and carrots. Frigging yummy portions were huge enough for us to have leftovers. Only took a couple bites of dessert as we were over stuffed.

This place is a hidden gem on Ventura Blvd.! My boyfriend and I stopped in while for a quick drink to check the place out. We were immediately greeted by Anuar who was wonderful, helpful and answered any questions we had! We instantly fell in love with the place and want to have our birthdays here. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely love this place - great drinks, great food, and wonderful people work there. Aaron is a fantastic bartender and Rachel is a terrific waitress to shout out a few... so many nice people work there - every single one - and the prices are reasonable. Oh and the atmosphere is great!
