I am not sure why there are so many bad reviews. I am Los Angeleno and of all the restaurants I have ever been to, they have served me the most interesting food. If you go, please splurge and get the 95/person Chef's tasting menu. I thought that service was good..they were good at refilling drinks, bread, bringing food, changing plates and utensils. Sometimes they were a tad slow. The atmosphere of the courtyard was splendid. My favorite dish was the grilled albacore, crab cake and roasted squab. All their dishes were inventive and unique
Pros: vibrant food, courtyard, near parking meters
Cons: touristy crowd
