Small bar and restaurant. No parking. Gotta park by 85 degree bakery. It’s connected to Gaylord apartments. Bathroom is through the door into the apartment lobby down in the laundry room basement. Make reservations for parties of 4 or more on the weekend. Will get loud. Food is priced well. Drinks are good. @ninjaxfang

Highly recommend! One of my new favorite spots in LA Absolutely great chocolate martini, impulsive order, turned out fantastic. Fish and chips! Divine! Cesar salad: crispy, cold, plenty of dressing!! I really enjoyed going here. Will be returning often. Local spot, long time standing. Fantastic service, taste and price.

*Extremely unsafe, deceptive, and hostile place. Avoid. Our group was charged an undisclosed service charge with a non‑itemized handwritten bill. There was no notice posted, and they still left a tip line on the card receipt, clearly attempting to double‑dip tips. When I calmly questioned the charge, staff tried to forcibly take and destroy the receipt. The owner then escalated the situation: he raised his hand as if to hit me, verbally abused me, and made a threatening gesture mimicking a gun to his head while saying words to the effect of "you’ll get shot." I felt genuinely unsafe. This was not a misunderstanding—this was intimidation and a threat. I have video and photo evidence. Deceptive billing + attempted evidence destruction + violent threats = do not go here!!! "The tequila tasted increasingly watered down—as if more diluted with each round. Also, avoid ordering double shots. When poured into a single straight shot glass, it only looked like a shot and a half. Definitely not worth the extra price."

I've dined here several times, and each visit has been enjoyable. The food is fresh, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. My favorite dishes were the calamari and cheesecake, which they make fresh on-site. (What restaurant even does that nowadays?) The chefs clearly prioritize quality in every dish they serve. The service is exceptional; if you request Johnny as your waiter, he might even delight you with an a magic trick that will leave you in awe.

Classic spot and community staple. Always a great time and waits for tables aren’t very even during peak hours. Food is always adequate. Had an incident with a slight overcharge —was my fault for scrambling the waitress with multiple tabs started at the bar and then transferred to the table but the issue was promptly resolved.
