Workshop Kitchen & Bar

Loved the vibe, the whole staff was very attentive. Food was interesting and delicious. We had the prix fixe which had perfect sized portions and was filling. The salmon and steak were cooked perfectly. The drinks were very pretty and clearly lots of attention to detail from the seating to the silverware. Would love to go again!

The bar, restaurant space, and service were all very good! We had multiple servers stop by our table multiple times to check in and answer any questions. The vibe was very curated, but unfussy, and thankfully not pretentious! The tasting menu was fantastic. Every dish was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. We tried items from both the normal menu and the vegan menu, and all were executed wonderfully. It would seem difficult to follow the main menu, but the desserts were somehow even better. We tried all 3 available desserts, and each was executed flawlessly. They were delicious and had the perfect balance of textures and flavors - not too sweet, with lots of additional flavor notes shining through. The vegan mille feuille was remarkable and impressive - highly recommended, even for non vegans! I would come back just for this! Overall we had a fantastic time. Well worth the price for a night out!

I come for a dinner at workshop, the place was quite empty on my visit on tuesday night and the barmen told me that them more busy on the weekends. Any way the service was friendly and pro although i was the only person that he served, the cocktails that i order where great and tasty. I can say the same about the kitchen i had a few small portions and they where all tasty with nice plating. And the place it self got amazing interior design. I recommend to try it, and maybe on the weekends if youre looking for more vibe

From the beautiful interior design to the delicious thoughtfully crafted menu, the workshop LA exceed my dining experience. Let's first start with hospitality. Our lovely server Autumn was so knowledgeable about the menu and the ingredients that Chef-owner Michael Beckman thoughtfully curated with each dish. Gabriel, the host was so welcoming and warm as well. Moving onto the food, wow wow wow. Each plate was so delicious. What I love about the menu is how chef and his team focus on the current, fresh and in season items making the menu taste intentional and special with every bite. The ambience in this space is straight to the point -- instagram worthy with an inviting touch. From the center dining tables, to the private-like rounded cocoon areas to the private long 18 seat table upstair, there are plenty of seating options to choose from to enjoy your experience with any guest. I absolutely look forward to coming back.

Good place to meet with friends over some food! Had no confusion with menu, they offer two tasting menu options Vegan or Omnivore, each has 4 dishes + desert, 2 of the dishes you can choose. 100$ price what is ok for the ok food you get. They also have add ons like pizza, scallops and etc for very reasonable price. Service was great, my friend was running late they set me down without him, waitress did her best to entertain me. I ordered pizza while i was waiting for my him and that was THE BEST dish i tried there :) everything else was ok, nothing special and i need to mention that desert “medovik” should not have sour cream, and lobster cream was like tasteless panna cotta (very strange). But over all great place to meet with friend over some food :) oh yea, parking was super easy!

I’ve been wanting to come here since they opened last summer and last night we finally made it happen to celebrate my sister’s birthday! The space was beyond gorgeous, and the food was outstanding! It was so fun to sit in one of the cocoons! I can’t wait to come back and try more things off the menu! We had the crudo, squash soup, babaganoush, branzino, honey sponge cake and chocolate soufflé. Everything was mouth watering and delicious.

very good design restruant. but food ………we ordered 4 starts and 2 entrees. only 2 of them is good. A little disappointed. unworthy come to here for food，but ok for photos or have a drink.

Great ambiance and service. Food is okay. Good but not worth the price. Instgramably beautiful. For the price, there are better options in LA.

Wonderful, Michelin-star level food in a beautiful ambiance with great service. I had one of the best plates of sweet corn risotto I've ever had, and an outstanding craft cocktail. Bartenders are super friendly and talented and service is attentive without being annoying. But the food and drinks are the real stars here. Wish the LA outpost was still open but in the meantime we have this wonderful escape in Palm Springs.

This place is lovely- from the service, vibes, and plenty of vegetarian options, my boyfriend and I were super happy! Highly recommend the beets and citrus appetizer, along with the oyster mushroom comfort food, and pepperoni pizza.

I'd previously had dinner and drinks at the Palm Springs location, so I was excited to try the new Workshop in L.A., where I actually live. I'd had a slice of pizza not too long before arriving, so I just had drinks at the bar this time. I started with the Kitchen Sink Martini because I love olive juice and pickled vegetables, and it did not disappoint. It's an incredibly well-balanced martini, whose olive-washed gin and orange bitters give it a sweet citrusyness without tartness, and a slippery mouth feel. Although my bartender, Nick, was good at checking to make sure I didn't need any food, I was really just there for drinks, so I finished my time there with a cold brew martini. Their martini puts most espresso martinis to shame, with cold brew concentrate and a bit of espresso dust on top and a nice foamy head. A great, coffee-forward drink that's not too desserty and very well-balanced. I was flying solo, so I enjoyed my time at the bar chatting with Nick the bartender and will definitely be back to try more.

Stunning interior with very friendly and helpful service with incredible and delicious dishes. Came on an impromptu Thursday evening. Had been when they first opened w the fixed menu and was great to be back w the a la carte menu. Delicious wine, the mushrooms and babaghanouj starters were perfect and hanger steak was perfection. Amazing chefs married with a beautiful space is such a treat. Keep up the great work to all!

幸福的人，不是對什麼都滿意，而是早就了解，人生本來就無法什麼都滿意~ 很cool的裝潢， 終於來探店了， 剛到時是星期五晚上6:30 ， 居然沒有客人， 真的讓我很納悶， 難道是家只吃裝潢的餐廳， 來都來了， 自己嚐嚐最準， 點了他們的90 元套餐， 沙拉， 魚， 跟甜點都很棒， 牛排表現稍遜， 朋友點的雞排我反而覺得很棒， 聽說他們的干貝也好吃， 吃貨們可以試試， 還好後來人聲鼎沸， 整個餐廳都坐滿了， 愛嚐鮮， 試試新餐廳的， 這家還不錯

Hostesses were sweet but the server we had was sassy and rude. Also outrageous they wouldn't make a simple liquor switch. They only have mezcal cocktails on their specialty cocktail menu so I asked to just swap it with tequila and they would not. Not doing such a simple switch is so dumb when you're paying 20$ a cocktail. Wouldn't recommend. Not even as cute in person as the pictures online.

Let's start off saying that the food here tastes delicious. I love the flavor profiles created in the dishes. I would encourage people in the neighborhood to try it out because I do feel they maybe struggling. Not sure. We went in on a Wednesday night as walk ins because I had checked their availability for that night plus the weekend and they were wiiiiiide open. There's one sign. Once inside having worked in the service industry for so long, I notice right off the bat - no women. No women hosting, no women bartending, no women serving etc. When customers are few and the tips aren't great, women jump ship first because they can easily find another server job elsewhere. Sign number two. The cocktail list here is too specific in taste. There needs to be brighter things added. The food like I said is delicious but the portions are too small for the price point. That 13oz pork chop tastes heavenly but it's really a 7oz pork chop with a 6oz bone. The crudo - tiny. Also delicious. The gnocchi was good. The soufflé was perfect. When we came in at around 7:30. Prime time. We were one of maybe 4 tables in a huge space. When we left at 9. We were the only ones left. Sad. It's kind of the design of the place. From the outside with no windows and a dark wall you can walk right past it. Once inside the huge enormous pods that I thought were cool but my guest didn't take up both side walls defaulting the kitchen to the back which defaults the bar to the front. Not a fan of bars being the first thing you walk in on especially from the side of it. Also having sat in one of the pods, don't. Pick a table in the middle because you are closed off in the pod with a slim vantage of the restaurant meaning you can never find your waiter!

The Valet is block away unless you figure out how to park on the street. You won't. Ms. prepare to trot in your spike heels until you reach the black cube that looks like where Darth Vader would stay on his vacay. Inside, it's gorgeous in a Metropolis sorta way. There is a Bar upstairs where the A-listers can peer down at the other listers. There is also a Bar for mortals in the front of the house on the ground floor. A row of back to back two tops in the center of the dining room along with 8 2 story "cocoons, pods, concrete wombs, or Alien eggs, suitable for a wedding night's wedding night. I have lived in smaller apartments. These are semi-private nooks on steroids. Get one. The overall decor is Sci-Fi chic. Distantly cold and austere like the leggy model who looks through you. She's upstairs at that Bar. The Staff: On a shakedown cruise, albeit willing. It may take some trimming, culling and weeding until this team is a team. I got used to Maati by dessert along with runners replacing the flatware at least a dozen times even though I only used the spoon. It's like your 5 year old who writes "I love Mom and Dad more than anything", with a Sharpie on the silk wall covering. You can't beat him or hate him for it, can you? The Bar Program: A few pages of signature cocktails and 35 pages of everything else designed to make that Sobriety Check an interesting challenge. My Sherry Cobbler had Oloroso and East Indian Sherries, Armenian Brandy, Arak, Calamansi, and Raspberry Compote, with dried Serrano Chili coins all over chipped ice. It was an odd mixture of odds and ends slightly tingling on the tongue like that last swallow of Squirt the morning after. I found it a bit bitter and astringent. So, the Sherry Cobbler was a wobbler. Who's in the house? No one else at 5:30 except the leggy model and an army of flatware scooping servers. The Food: A $90 market and technique driven prix fixe only. (Vegan or Meaty). You vill eat vat you are given, verstehe? There are a few add-ons (5 grams for $25. Let's see that's about 9 eggs...you get the). Order a Loaf of Whole Wheat Sourdough Bread. Made in house, its good, but it's really only 4 small slices. So, loaf out loud, you just paid $9 for not enough bread to sop up a Quail Egg Yolk. The Crudo had Kampachi which was bland despite being bathed in Rhubarb Tea, Pickled Champagne Grapes, Fennel Oil, and Radish Citrus Fern. (You stock all that at home? Ya?). It was kinda tasty once the server brought me a new spoon, but ultimately too ambitious as was the Heirloom Tomato Salad with Compressed Cucumber, razor thin Watermelon Radish slices, Pied a Sapo Melon (Frog Skin Melon from Spain in a witness protection program with a new name), Gazpacho, Parmesan Crisps (Frico), and Basil Flowers which I pay a dude to remove weekly. Both these dishes needed a pocket sized emulsion blender and were simply ongepotchket as they say at Chabad House. Too many ingredients to actually say something. (Think a walk-in clean out at Noma). How bout a cup of Gazpacho during the heat wave and just be done with it? Next up was a course just for the Halibut. A small square of delicate fish swaddled in Tom Kha Espuma (Coconut Milk...kinda sorta tasteless on a good day), 2 Morels, Pickled Fresno Pepper bits and a micro Herb Salad. If you think the Halibut is done it's already over cooked. Blink and it's a beach sandal. This sad little piece of fish spent 60 seconds in the poaching liquid to long. So, if the Halibut was meant to be the star of that show they needed to go to the understudy. Break a fin, Baby. The Flatiron Steak was easily the best dish. The kitchen should offer a sandwich with the half a Loaf of Bread they didn't give you and slap some Flatiron on it. Go ahead... put that on the menu. The Steak was spot on excellent. The Buerre Rouge (Red Wine and Butter Sauce) was just right. The Grilled Baby Rainbow Carrots were perfect too. When they finally give all this nonsense up and add a full ala carte page to the menu this should be a must. The Double Cut Pork Loin Chop was a single cut just butterflied. Nice try boys and girls. You can't fool this O. G. Who doesn't like Pureed Potatoes heavily laced with Heavy Cream and Tome Fraiche Cheese? This dish would be at home at any Lyon Bouchon but I could take or leave the Kimchee Gremolata so I left it. The last of Harry's Berries Strawberry Shortcake with White Chocolate Whip, Rhubarb Compote, and Strawberry and Lillet Rose Consomme was...well...ongetpotchket. The Biscuits were great and the Strawberries were equally so. Why not use just those ingredients? The Chef has some dry-aged brass balls to offer only an Omakase meal to LA's fickle foodies. I doubt there will be a bus load of regulars dining here three times a month. (Those busses are lined up Mother Wolf). At the end of the meal this place is a Workshop in progress.

Came for Friday night dinner tonight with three friends. It's a 5 course tasting menu for $90 with seafood-leaning selections. We opted for the $25 caviar supplement each which they put on the cauliflower mousse as well as the Babaganoush to share and the Cheese Trolley. They do have a vegetarian tasting menu as well. Favorites of the night for the normal tasting menu were definitely the evenique gouda cheese on the cheese plate and the cauliflower mousse. Normally wouldn't opt in for a cheese board but I'm really glad we did because it was fantastic. Food presentation is on point: this is definitely higher end - but we left very full and satisfied. Their cocktail menu is exceptional. Very creative drinks that will satisfy all preferences. They have a fair number of selections for non alcoholic as well that are still fun. The restaurant itself is gorgeous and the little pods are very private which is great - you can't hear other nearby parties. They are still working out some kinks so they accidentally charged us extra on the bill but they quickly fixed it for us. Tatum was our server and she was amazing and attentive our entire meal. She was very accommodating for all questions we had. The Cheese Trolley man was also lovely! We had a really enjoyable dinner.

From the beautiful interior design to the delicious thoughtfully crafted menu, the workshop LA exceed my dining experience. Let's first start with hospitality. Our lovely server Autumn was so knowledgeable about the menu and the ingredients that Chef-owner Michael Beckman thoughtfully curated with each dish. Gabriel, the host was so welcoming and warm as well. Moving onto the food, wow wow wow. Each plate was so delicious.

From the center dining tables, to the private-like rounded cocoon areas to the private long 18 seat table upstair, there are plenty of seating options to choose from to enjoy your experience with any guest. I absolutely look forward to coming back.

Nice vibe. The staffs are really friendly. Too bad that not much customers when we came on a weekday. The appetizers are great. We ordered flat iron stakes and scallops...... but they were salty.....it seems like they did not taste the sauce before push out from the kitchen....

We landed at Workshop Kitchen + Bar for my birthday dinner and it was perfect for our intimate group of 4. We specifically booked a pod to sit in and it was great. A restaurant like this could easily be so loud you can't hear yourself think let alone the person next you, but the pods created a nice environment where you could have a great conversation on a busy night. It was quite packed on the Saturday evening that we went and our waitress gave us the heads up that she was dealing with a few bigger parties but not to worry because she would check up on us regularly and she followed through on that promise. The food was top notch and the cocktails were even better. I recommend the pork chop - noting that my husband and I split it and we still couldn't finish all of it. For appetizers we ordered the asparagus (A+ but small portion) the goat cheese and beets (delicious) and fried mushrooms (a little too salty). The staff was excellent. Attentive and friendly. The lights went out towards the end of our dinner and so many of the staff including the manager checked on us to make sure we were okay. We even had one last parting conversation with the manager outside the restaurant while we were waiting for our Uber. Pro tip: if you save room for dessert order the chocolate soufflé. They need a 20 mins heads up to prepare it.

Form over substance: this restaurant delivers mediocre food/beverage in an aesthetically-appealing package. First: the cocktails. The cocktail menu is a charmingly-illustrated book with hand-drawn depictions of innovative-sounding drinks. The drinks arrive, and they are so well presented (lime slices perfectly positioned against the walls of the spritz glass to form a polka dot pattern; a square ice cube suspended in a rocks glass that looks like a clear picture window inside of a murky slurry of Manhattan, etc.). But then you taste them and... they're all sweet. Sickly so in some cases. Even the martinis were sweet - which the menu ingredients did not remotely hint at (the signature martini garnishes are pickles - one would reasonably presume a dry beverage to go with that, but no). The food experience is similar to the beverage - nice visual presentation, but unbalanced flavors and underwhelming execution. The appetizers let us down (the duck fat fries did not remotely have the flavor of duck fat; they appeared to be matchstick fries that might have been pre-sliced/cooked from frozen; the caviar was almost non-existent on the plate - there was perhaps 1/4-1/3 of an ounce of paddlefish eggs, accompanied by a smidge of ikura; the slivers of fish in the crudo were drowning in a puddle of soy/yuzu...). The scallop entree was amusingly tiny (3 1-inch-wide scallops, 4-5 snap peas, and 1 1/2 baby beets, perched on a slick of curry sauce - silly especially for the price); the other entrees were frankly not much better. The best items we tried were the desserts - honey cake and soufflé were both good (not great). I would not return solely for dessert, though. Last but not least: do not street park in the vicinity. One of our dining companions who parked directly in front of the restaurant had their windows smashed during dinner.

Dined in Sep $100 tasting menu for 5 courses with different upgrades. Excellent service, okay food. Great cocktails. I was most impressed with the beautiful architecture and design of the restaurant. Unfortunately, if you want to sit in the alien pod, you need a party of at least 3.

Fun high concept kitchen and bar. Menu seems to change often depending on availability of ingredients. Celebrating a family birthday milestone, reservations requested ahead of time for a later dinner seating (8pm). We arrived on time and the place was busy but not overly packed. We were welcomed warmly by the host and led to one of the egg pods. We brought our own birthday cake and he very graciously took it to be refrigerated. Our waitress tonight was Joann and she was very well informed about the menu. We got the tasting menu but the whole table needs to do it : there were two options: one with meat and fish and the other all vegan. Both included desserts! We did two of each and simply shared with each other - that's one way of getting almost everything on the menu. We added several other entrees to round out our meals. Started out with southern fried oyster mushrooms - crisp and delicate bites and homemade pickles , the mushroom is quite meaty. Enjoyed every item on the tasting menu : the heirloom tomatoes salad did not really need the parmigiana crisps , I felt they were bitter. Dry aged amber Jack came out with a well crisped skin and still tender. Very delicate. Masami Ranch 24 day dry aged rib eye was done to medium rare perfection. And finished with salt crystals -just the right hint to punch up flavors. Both desserts were delicious: torte Medovik was a honey sponge cake with Huitlacoche ice cream -so delicious! Vegan menu had fruit millefeuille: sliced fruit with passion fruit cream . Honey nut squash was such a beautiful tiny dish and still enough to share a bite from among us. I bet this would be fantastic as an entree with a bigger sized squash. This one was no more than 3 inches long! Diver scallops had the perfect sear and tender texture. Vegan menu with sweet potato gnocchi, carrot panisse were both delightful. The panisse almost had a cornbread texture. We also had the cocktails and they have a heavy pour here -I stood up to use the restroom and realized I was tipsy! I got the queen of Hearts and a Fortunato - like a pina colada but so much better! Overall service was very well paced, each person described what was being brought to table. I think tasting menu is your best bet for a variety of options. We practically did not have room for the cake we brought, but the kitchen came out with candles and such a pretty presentation plus singing!! Valet parking available but we snagged a spot on the street -free at night and weekends.

I have seen Workshop Kitchen +Bar on several lists and Instagram. I definitely thought that the pods looked super cool. I really, really wanted to sit in the pods, so was glad that I was able to go with a bigger group. If you want to sit in a pod, I believe that you need to have more than 4(?) people. I actually went on a Tuesday night, where the restaurant was relatively empty, so I definitely saw some parties of 2 sitting in the pods. The restaurant is definitely beautiful wherever you sit. There also was a mezzanine section, which I saw from downstairs, which seemed super cool. I would definitely recommend reservations. I heard that it gets pretty packed on the weekend. As for the food, they only have tasting menu (which I believe changes). Our tasting menu was $100 with the option to add on. I chose the standard tasting menu. I started off with a drink. I had their version of a mai tai, which was delicious! And a pizza off their appetizer menu, also delicious. Then, started the tasting. Some standout for me: the crudo (delicious and flavorful), steak (cooked to perfection and loves the potato that came with the steak), and their dessert (I forgot the name, but it was a Russian dessert, which was not super sweet and flaky). Some misses for me: lobster broth egg (I don't remember the name, but it was a little bit too flavorless for me and the apples were a very sour for the dish) and the quail (a little too gamey for me). The tasting definitely had a lot more hits than miss for me, so I definitely enjoyed the meal. A huge shout out to Kate our waitress, who was super nice and went along with all of our shenanigan (lol). I will definitely come back here. I really enjoyed the food, ambience and service.

I fancy clean storefronts with flush walls and discrete logos, which is the drastic contrast provided by the Workshop Kitchen building in the bustling screaming energy of Labrea. Upon entry, there is a sense of being overwhelmed - by the loft ceiling, stocked bar, alien spaceship pod booths, kitchen, and central island tables. There is definitely a lot going on, to the point of surprise and moment of inner hesitation - whether this is in fact the restaurant or a practice ground for Cirque de Soleil trapeze artists off the clock. Thankfully, the owners have set up a clear spot for the maitre'd and it takes little to no time to be ushered into the cover page of Architecture digest. Organizationally, Workshop Kitchen is quite the place, and arguably without a close match around town. It feels so clean, even sterile, and the crew approaches diners with so much attentiveness that you immediately feel at home (if your home was just sanitized and from the year 2128). I found ordering to be a breeze - with the help of Karen, though the menu seemed a bit overloaded with too many add-on options. Want the caviar for additional +$36? Wagyu for +$40? Gold flakes for +$28? Want the dish to arrive with a plate underneath for +$19? These are all items I clearly accept a la carte, but were tasteless noise on a pre-set tasting menu. By the time I processed the environment and gave the menu a proper read, cocktails arrived. The bar managed to create some very unique and inventive flavors, and whether I ultimately loved the drink or not, I will admit they were all superbly crafted. If the vibe allowed for it, I certainly wouldn't mind heading to the bar just for a couple of rounds there. The menu consisted of 5 plates. The starting crudo was absolutely amazing, with a divine dashi and really fatty dry-aged kampachi. It was quite the stellar start for dinner and absolute winner for the night.Then the heirloom tomato salad came next with a serious fun twist, and while being lovely overall, it paled in comparison to the crudo. The Alaskan Halibut then kindly dropped my expectations for the rest of dinner service - despite the unusual blend of buillabaisse, mushroom, tom kha, it sat bland on top of overpowering lemongrass and spice, which rendered the entire thing pointless in many respects. It was the haute cuisine equivalent of a cookies and cream protein shake, because those shakes are also made to be chugged in a confusing mixture of overpowering flavors because it's protein after all. I digress. Masami Ranch Dry Aged Steak. Perfectly cooked visually. Light pink center, thin cut. Both potato pave and horseradish cream were really nice additions. But oh my, did the steak chew like a stale month-old bag of twizzlers. I would have never imagined it would require to be mostly spit out, because it tasted as poorly as it looked good. The other main, Campo Grande Iberico Pork Chop was miles ahead and well worth the +$20 airfare from Spain add-on. If there must be one takeaway from my review, it is to absolutely insist on the pork over the steak. Finally, the medovik sponge cake topped it all off with incredible lightness, fun presentation and balance without being overly sweet. As I nibbled on it, I kept wondering how to properly characterize the cuisine at Workshop Kitchen, and failed. While many of the plates were somewhat unpolished or crude, and others - superb or stellar, the entire layout and Handmaid's Tale vibe makes it well worth the trip.

Just tried the LA outpost of Workshop Kitchen & Bar. It has the same modern, brutalist architecture of the Palm Springs location, this time with concrete egg shaped pods, but with an open kitchen. This is a strictly tasting menu only establishment. It's been open 2 weeks so that may change in the future. Mostly fish/meat menu, 5 courses $90 Plant-based, 5 courses $75 Wine pairing European $65 Wine pairing American $85 There are a few supplemental items that you can add. I don't mind a tasting menu per se but I personally like options. We went with the meat tasting menu but replaced the red meat with gnocchi for me and beans for my friend. And we did European wine pairing. First course: Crudo - light, fresh & delicious. Yes! Paired with French white. Second course: Cauliflower mousse: completely forgettable. You get 5 mini tomatoes, foam and what tasted like stale bread - immediately NO Paired with reisling from Germany Third Course: Halibut - loved this! Prepared perfectly with great flavors. Paired with Muscadet 30% + 70% Chardonnay blend from France. Fourth Course: (Replaced the Hanger steak) with Braised Artichoke Gnocchi (me) - this was rich & creamy but not memorable, so I traded with my friend who did not love the beans. Not great IMO. Scarlet Runner Beans (friend) - I loved this! It's two types of beans: a tempura'd green beans with red kidney beans over a delicious tomato sauce. Very Spanish-forward and delicious. Loved the textures. Paired with another white wine. Fifth course: Strawberry shortcake: SOOO good! Loved this also. The wine pairings with a nice, dry red burgundy. After we paid, we were each given a gift box "to enjoy at home". Overall I would say location and quasi-pretentious vibe is not my favorite. Felt stark, quiet, serious and not fun. Service was good but spotty (they are new). Our server was very nice but wasn't well informed (about wines) nor did she know to replace each glass after each tasting. Had to ask. Food is decent enough to try once so definitely check it out. Would I return? Not for the same menu. Too limited, would get boring after a while.

This place is an experience. Probably wouldn't eat here again just because it's expensive and like a whole thing but they have a unique menu and great drinks. Staff is amazing. This is a treat yourself kinda place. You certainly won't be disappointed.

Came here with a reservation for a party of four on a Friday at 8 pm. The restaurant looked beautiful and we were seated right away. I noticed the place was dead and we were the only ones dinning there. Strange for a Friday night. Our server greets us and asks us what we'd like to drink before giving us a second to look at the cocktail menu. He generally seems out of it and a little stoned. It seems like it's his first day serving. He gives us no recommendations, doesn't introduce himself, repeatedly interrupts the conversation and has horrible flow and timing. I was a server for years and realize they're dead and generally have compassion for the guy. We get our appetizers and drinks and the salad is delicious. Wine is good. Then the food arrives. They auction off the food and don't remember who ordered what. Which at these prices is unprofessional. Everyone's food is cold. We all eat our food and don't say anything because we are on a double date and don't want to be those people. The restaurant is dead. The food is below average mediocre, service is awkward or non-existent. And honestly, this place isn't gonna last. For a $600 bill, this place was a waste of money. I was disappointed but wasn't gonna leave a review for a struggling new restaurant about any of the above until I got home. We all got either stomach cramps or had to rush to the bathroom multiple times with bloating or diarrhea. When it happens to 4 out of 4 people, you know it's the restaurant and not individual sensitive tummies. I'm embarrassed to have picked this place. And more humiliated that we all paid so much to be sick and pretend to like our food and server. Thankfully everyone was gracious but I could tell they were shocked at how low the quality of the food was because I spoke so highly of the Palm Springs location and how excited I was to have this favorite place in LA, close to our home. Don't waste your money. No one even asked us how our meal was. We ordered so much food and drinks and dessert and to not have any of the dudes standing around even ask us. Don't get me started on how bland the dessert was. Sweet but flavorless.

$120/ PP . ordered 洛杉磯太空艙裝潢很有現代感的設計,好像要三人以上才給太空座位 可以網上預約，他們的valet parking 不在正門口..在側門的街上，但是門口滿多街邊停車也可以停哦。 我們三個人叫了六道We ordered: Oyster Mushrooms Sunrise Farms Lettuces salad Duck Fat Fries Duck Confit Diver scallop Wagyu Flat Iron Steak 他們也有set courses.

Must try if you are visiting LA or just need a new groovy and hella stylish spot! Drinks, food, vibe, staff all 10/10!

1 star I had a reservation for one person at the community table and the hostess and staff refused to honor it because I was alone. They said I could only sit at the bar or at a hightop or outside because I was alone. I am a senior citizen. The community table I reserved was completely empty. This discriminatory policy seems illegal and is hurtful to single diners.

5 stars for the "coolness" factor because the space is really breathtaking and unique. Definitely feels like you're transported to a hip alien chic restaurant haha 3.5 stars for the food and for service - we ordered mostly vegan / vegetarian See Yelp pics for a preview of how fun and hip the space is, I think it may be worth it just to check out the interior Service wise- the front of the house was nice and accommodated my request for an egg booth for just my husband and I, we were celebrating his birthday. Our server was nice, but not super attentive and he seemed kind of out of it that night haha. He didn't remember that I had mentioned it was my husbands birthday, I don't necessarily expect bells and whistles but just remembering this would be nice and perhaps a candle on the dessert we ordered would've been nice too. This isn't a Michelin starred restaurant or anything but it is pricey and nice- so when the wait staff bring out the food a quick description of the food would've been nice but didn't happen. Food- we ordered almost all of the vegetarian/vegan options and were pleasantly surprised by a few of them. The salad option was pretty and well seasoned, nothing rly special but nicely done. The carrots in a Thai spiced sauce was quite interesting albeit needed more salt. The best thing for sure was the southern fried oyster mushrooms- a little spicy and sweet and fried perfectly, we really enjoyed this. My sweet potato gnocchi looked nice but was pretty underwhelming in terms of flavor although the gnocchi was well cooked and cute- the sauce was kind of flavorless and it needed more salt as well. My husbands steak was fine, nothing special he said. The olive oil cake for dessert was pretty and good but again nothing exceptional. Drinks were nice and I appreciated being able to get a nice mocktail. I think everything we ordered was vegan except the mushrooms had honey and the ofc the dessert. So it was nice they had several things for vegans already listed on the menu. Overall, I think it's worth checking out for a fun experience because the ambience/interior is really unique and intriguing, the food wasn't super memorable but there were some very enjoyable things (mushrooms), service could've been better but overall at least service was friendly.

I've been wanting to come here since they opened last summer and last night we finally made it happen to celebrate my sister's birthday! The space was beyond gorgeous, and the food was outstanding! It was so fun to sit in one of the cocoons! I can't wait to come back and try more things off the menu! We had the crudo, squash soup, babaganoush, branzino, honey sponge cake and chocolate soufflé. Everything was mouth watering and delicious.

The dishes are very delicate, the taste is relatively refreshing, there is the use of Asian cuisine to do some flavor and embellishment, the interior of the store is also my favorite look, suitable for girls to take pictures

Super cute! More pricey than I had anticipated, but the tasting menu was great and cocktails phenomenal. Would recommend for a fun night out!

Unique dining experience in LA! Testing menu only but foods are incredible! They have very cute cocktails too! Although it's on a pricey side but the foods are worth it! For someone who chose restaurants best on ambiance I love their dome like booths, gives you the modern alien feel lol . Follow me on my ig Jellymonkey217

This place is so hype in the Chinese community where my friend originally found articles about this and made her wish to have her birthday dinner here. so I made reservation and left a note of the occasion. On the day before we arrives, I called to confirm and remind the birthday occasion. Upon arrival, I remind and introduce who's the birthday to the host, he made his greeting wishes and mentioned will do something special. The interior is the attraction. Food was good, nothing wow. We finished dinner and proceed to order all 3 desserts. I thought that's our signal to do the special thing, but then the 3 desserts bought out, just desserts. Then, another party singing birthday song. Our server came and left the bill, so I stepped out of our pod and ask our server. She said that the table were singing within their own group. That's how I found out they wasn't going to do anything. I came home and saw another picture on here by someone else posted has a 'happy birthday' on the plate when they ordered the same dessert? It just really really sucks for her to watch others getting birthday treatment but not her. The whole purpose of the visit is to celebrate birthday vs if we just dine here it could've been totally different experience. If it is the new normal to not help guests to celebrate birthday, could've let us know during reservation, tell me to bring your own cake or something. Servers we encountered seems nice. I don't know who's fault or what's wrong in between but I know where i won't go for my birthday.

If we are talking design, it's good, and it's a big area; we sat at regular tables, but the space looks nice If talking about food- good presentation, ok taste, whatever we taste was just ok If we are talking about service - my server was terrific, friendly, understanding, and always there for all requests and questions, our waiter was Chriss, and we had waiters like that at every restaurant; I would have a great experience regardless of the food bc some places food is amazing, but service sucks, thank you for making my night so much better Chris.

For $600 this was place was an absolute ripoff. I wish someone would have asked how the food was or gave us a second thought. But besides the AC giving off helicopter vibes in the alien pod and then having to move seats, we had a merry go round of wait staff forgetting who ordered what and the most mediocre food one could imagine. Really embarrassed me to the friends I brought on a long awaited double date. Save your money - go anywhere else. Try Black Market in Studio City and thank me later.

We love the Palm Springs version so when we saw this we had to stop in. Prior to sitting I checked Yelp and thought maybe the low score was due to teething issues. We had the butter salad and hanger steak which we enjoyed. The duck fat fries seemed more like standard fried from any cafe. Our soufflé was way under cooked which was really disappointing. Overall we would go back back preferably Palm Springs.

Just recently hosted a business dinner for 30 at Workshop Kitchen and bar LA. It was an incredible evening, Gabrielle, Autumn, and all the servers were extremely accommodating to our guests, providing vegetarian options to their delicious duck fat fries without making anyone uncomfortable. The food was amazing, not one course was bad. The duck fat fries, baba ganoush, smoked Japanese sweet potato and deserts were insane. They even paused the music for us so we could say a few words. What a gem of a restaurant. Highly recommend for anything from a business dinner to a romantic night out. Thank you Workshop LA!

Although food tasted okay/good and server was nice and professional, the worst hostess we EVER NEVER met before! So mean!!! It affected the entire dinner experience. We guess she's either an Asian hater or a kid hater...And it's not a kid friendly restaurant so far...We won't go back because of the average experience we got and especially been treated by the hostess like that. I just want to tell the restaurant owner the importance of the host/hostess service because it's the beginning part of the experience. Also, restaurant management should deal with the mistake you make and fix it somehow and not to treat and push the customer instead. Anyway, if you want to give a try, just a reminder to avoid the bad service happening, DON'T call to make the reservation DO it online...

OMG! So excited to such an awesome new restaurant in my neighborhood. Heirloom Tomato Salad sounds simple but it one of the most original flavor sensation I ever tasted. Amazing!

My family ate here on a Saturday night for my mothers birthday. Food alone would have been 4 stars, our server Tatum deserves 5 stars, but because we had such an unpleasant experience with the hostess, I had to drop it to 3. Two members of our party were running late but they wouldn't seat until everyone was present. The hostesses was not understanding at all. She was rude, cold, and pestering. We were not allowed to wait at the bar. We ended up having to eat without them because of their extremely strict time policy. Someone else left a review saying that the hostess is racist to Asians. I hate to think that way, but that statement may be true.

I had high hopes for this restaurant after visiting the one in Palm Springs several times but the LA location is very different and not at all good. It's seems as though all the focus was on making the restaurant and food look a certain way and no thought was given to how the food should taste. The cocktails were not balanced and the tasting menu was very one dimensional and not at all tasty. Very disappointed and do not recommend, especially given the price.

Bethany M nailed it in her review. Simply put beautiful space and design. Mediocre cocktails and poorly executed food at a premium price. Third visit here and absolutely the last.

Went for the tasting menu, with wine pairing. Vincent the GM is great, welcoming guests the French way! The place is beautiful with giant cement eggs for seating booth.

Honestly some of the best food in LA right now. The name of the restaurant doesn't evoke anything creative, but the purity of the ingredients is spectacular, and the flavor combinations are sharp, focused and spot-on. The vegetarian options are fantastic, and the seafood is excellent. Nothing hits you over the head, but each dish gets better and better the more you eat it. A great wine list as well with affordable and unique wines. Certainly the location is strange and the decor is a little odd, but the great food more than makes up for it.

Was disappointed last night. I know it was Valentines & the Busiest day of the year for the Restaurant industry. We did have to wait outside in the COLD WEATHER before we got called & get seated. Me & my Partner were very glad to finally get out of the cold. When we sat the Hostess had no apologies for the wait. Ya know that was OK! Its expected on Valentine's We had to wait for any kind of service No one approached us when the waiter finally came to our table his instruction was ARE YOU READY TO ORDER ? WoW no explication of anything me & my partner were confused as we purchased the Pre-set menu. Were so frustrated at this point! The meal was adequate & service was awful. I guess since the Restaurant is somewhat new there still trying to figure things out. I wish at one point a Manager would of come to us & Table Touch! Anything Even as we left the Host said NOTHING! Not a Thank you WOW

The absolute worst service I've ever received in a restaurant. My man & I made reservations for Valentine's Day and when we walked in, the manager told us he couldn't find our reservation. Then he realized that he sat a different couple at our table under our reservation instead of theirs. We had to wait 45 minutes for another table to open up. After sitting at our table for an hour and a half, all we got was our first course (there's supposed to be 4). The kitchen was so backed up, the waiters were no where to be found, and everyone was looking around confused as to why no food was coming out of the kitchen. After sitting at our table for 2 hours and only being served an appetizer, we got up and left. The only nice thing is that the manager didn't make us pay for the appetizer. Don't even waste your time going to this restaurant, complete waste of time and money.

The food, the location, the wait service was excellent. For this reason, I would contemplate coming back. The rating was not an accident. The hostess brought the average down. We were rushed to leave within minutes of paying, which was very startling given the 2.5 hour tasting menu and wonderful pace we had for the evening. I understand that sometimes staff may convey information in a way that could be misunderstood, but clearly this hostess believed that the practice was normal. We provided the hostess some feedback, and she was quite defensive. Will consider returning if I see that ratings improve and see mentions of wonderful customer service.

Live in the Neighborhood, have been a frequent patron since they opened, love the craft cocktails the food had always been hit and miss, apparently now and I guess since Covid, you cannot and I mean cannot have a drink at the bar or even meet friends, you must eat at the bar only, the bar used to be fun, oh well there are plenty of other great restaurant bars in Town, the owners should get a Clue, they clearly are not experienced restraunteurs.

The four of us came in for dinner. It was a set menu but you have some choices involved so that was fine. The food was pretty good actually and would have earned it a 3.5 stars-4 stars. We did a European wine pairing which enhanced the dishes that we got. Our server Mark was excellent and he gets 5 stars!!! The four of us had a great time and we would contemplate going back and maybe bring some of our other friends along. Mind you this was a set menu so the pace and duration of the dinner is dictated by the restaurant. We got the check and we paid it. Not two minutes have passed when the "hostess" came and asked us it there was anything else we needed. We said no as we just paid our bill. She then stated " In that case, can you folks leave as I need this table." We were literally stunned by how discourteous and rude that was. It was not needed. I understand if we were sitting around for like 10-15 minutes but we literally just paid the bill. That left a very bad taste in our mouths and I doubt that we will recommend or go back to this place. They need to train their staff better as this is a very competitive market and driving customers away does not portend well for success. Half of our party did bring this up to the manager as they happen to run into him while lining up for the restroom. The other half of our party did inform our hostess that her comment was not necessary and a prime example what not to do if you cared about customer service. She was very defensive and states that that happens to her all the time as if that justifies her actions. I hope the owners/manager sees these comments as I want them to be successful but being a new restaurant, they might want to focus more attention on training their staff.

Very modern steel concrete black grey and white environment with (rancho mirage celebrated iriginal restaurant of same name) signature storey tall concrete shell booths under bow string trusses with dramatically lit bar on one end and open kitchen on the other and mezzanine with 18 seat long table. Food by chef Michael Beckman is expertly prepared with delightful attention to details and inventive composition of taste and textures. Started with vodka martinis ( comes with a sidecar like Musso Frank), chips and caviar ( includes also ikura with traditional fixins)- fun and good pairing with martini, salad of lettuces ( super fresh with edible flowers and pomegranate), rib cap (excellent and nearly blue which allowed the ingredient to shine), oxtail cannelloni ( favorite - the presentation and the pasta with the most delicious filling brought me back to those runny egg yolk filled tubular pasta of the still missed fav Ink restaurant -the old Ma Maison spot)... sorry I digressed but happy that LA has become a good restaurant town over the last 30 decades). Desserts- so pretty you hesitate to destroy it - apple tart and a honey cake layered with cream with the most perfectly tart and wild tasting gooseberries served with a quennelle of ice cream made from huitlacoche ( corn smut) - salty and sweet ... Tasting menu sounds good - will be back!

This is by far one of the worst restaurants I've ever seen. He gave me a very bad birthday experience. I booked this restaurant a week in advance on resy and noted that I wanted to sit in the cocoon seat. When I arrived at the restaurant today I was told that the seats were not available and I was given the lobby seats. But the reason I chose this restaurant is because I wanted to find a beautiful place to take pictures on my birthday. What is even more ridiculous is that the front desk told me that the cocoon seats can only be used by three or more people. But there were two people dining in the back of him. I think if you don't have this seat you can inform me in advance and let me cancel the reservation. But I don't think it's acceptable for you to wait until I arrive and then tell me about it. This made me very angry for my birthday today. But it was already seven o'clock so I accepted to eat in the lobby. And he agreed that I could take pictures in the cocoon after the meal. My girlfriend and I waited for almost two hours for the two men to leave. When we wanted to take pictures, the receptionist came and said he could take pictures for us. I was very happy. But it took him five seconds to take the following picture. He also told me that someone behind me had been waiting for 45 minutes and urged us to leave. The most annoying thing was that my girlfriend and I both felt sick when we got home. I even had diarrhea. I'd like to say that this is the only restaurant I've eaten at since lunch today. So I think we all know what the reason is. I hope all of you reading this stay away from this restaurant. It's really disgusting.

Delicious and fresh ingredients with great service . Lovely and will be back ! Was perfect evening!

The food/drinks, wait staff, the ambiance and the egg pods were wonderful...we want to come back. It was not meant to be. The "hostess" was very rude and problematic. After paying the bill and a few minutes later, she came to our table and said if you don't need anything else, we need the table back. She literally kicked us out! This is unacceptable customer service. I understand restaurants need to turn tables quickly but you are not a quick service restaurant...know thyself. After spending over $900 for a table of 4, she really cheapened the experience...what could have been a first rate class act...now it's just another unwelcoming, "has been". Management/owners take stock, you either need to hire and train your hostess with better customer service skills or they're going to run your business to the ground. In LA's competitive food scene, you can't afford to take that gamble!
