The Nice Guy

this place is absolutely incredible if you're looking for a romantic date spot to take your person. it's very dim inside and primarily lit by candles, and sets the mood, along with a frank sinatra kind of singer who sits in the corner serenading everyone the whole meal and the great thing is that it's not too loud and it's very warm and welcoming. parking was really chill but primarily valet so i would bring some cash for that. the food is amazing we got the shrimp scampi and the meatballs to start and the scampi had the perfect bite of heat and the red sauce on the meatballs is just sweet enough to cut through the acidity of the tomato we got the rigatoni bolognese and the cacio pepe for the entres and the pasta you could tell was made to order and in house - the bolognese was exploding with flavor and the cacio pepe had just enough black pepper and was not overwhelming the desert we had the chocolate chip bread pudding, the mascarpone on top was delicate and the bread pudding was not too heavy like it tends to be - absolutely insane i would give this place more than 5 stars if i could and will forsure be coming back

Had a reservation on a Saturday night and we were able to find parking along La Cienenga a few blocks way (less than 5 min walk). Though was a bit scary of a walk at night time. We checked in with the hostess inside since no one was at the hostess stand outside. We were told our table was not ready yet and to wait at the bar and she would come grab us. The place was incredibly dark and crowded. We finally find a seat at the bar and our table was ready about 20-25 minutes after the reservation time.We were sat at a really small table that could barely fit two cups, two plates, and much less the food we ordered. Nevertheless, we made the best out of it. We got the cherry tomato pizza, truffle fries, cheesy garlic bread, and the vodka rigatoni. Tomatoes on the pizza were a bit too sour, the pizza was alright. Nothing to write home about. The truffle fries were pretty good and had a light layer of shaved cheese on top. The cheesy garlic bread came with marinara sauce and had a thick layer of gooey cheese. It was served warm and I did enjoy it. The vodka rigatoni came with rock shrimp and was good, I suppose. There's definitely better vodka pasta in LA.I did get the champagne papi cocktail and that was on the sweeter side but mixed well.Overall, probably not worth coming back. Wish reservation times were honored better and the food . It was incredibly dark like could not read the menu and incredibly loud. I didn't think it was as romantic as we were placed in the middle of the restaurant and could barely hear each other. Nevertheless, the live music was nice and our server was very nice.

Food. Service Place Location I love the cocktail here , its really good and so many options for u to pick, but inside kinda dark and so hard to read the menu

Nice vibes! Went on a Saturday night at 7pm with reservations and it was pretty crowded already. Live music started around 8pm and was good. Food and wine was great. Server was attentive. Cute spot for a more intimate dinner!

Came here for an event and it was fun no doubt! I did not try any food but they had good drinks and many libations to choose from. The service is really nice and it was no hassle to get in! It's known to be upscale but not really a strict dress code. It definitely was a good time here and nice for a lounge to have fun and celebrate. It's really dark inside and not that spacious, but not too bad. I will come back here for sure to try the food! I was able to park on the street! -Marshay D.

Charged an exorbitant entertainment fee when there was no live music or pianist. We sat right by where they play. Any other night if they had played I'd understand but they simply tried to get the fee in without you noticing. Gross behavior.

Okay let me start by saying that I've wanted to go to this restaurant since I was in middle school because One Direction and 5sos used to go here LOL. But anyways, I already knew before going that the food would be overpriced and mediocre quality from the other reviews and they were right. However, the ambiance is incredibly unique, and I haven't been able to find a place quite like this anywhere else around LA. Also, would really love to note that the staff is so kind AND there's a free Photo Booth!! I ordered all of these to split between my boyfriend and I, and it was good enough for us.

Great service great host bar girl was funny made us feel so welcome and are waitress laughed with us this is my new spot for dinner thank you Samantha and Bridget behind the bar thank you for making us feel welcome

The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who knew their menu inside and out. Our server made excellent recommendations and ensured that our glasses were always full.

After seeing mixed reviews we still decided to try this cool looking spot. We were pleasantly surprised with our time. Valet was smooth ($20), we were sat at a 4 top table even though it was 2 of us, not complaining at all. It's dark inside but not too dark, very cool atmosphere. We had Alicia as our server and she was attentive and very much a pro at her job. I was nervous about service from previous reviews but something has positively changed.We enjoyed the delicious truffle fries with eggplant parm and the spicy rigatoni. Very pleased and will be returning
