    Rosemary chicken. Way too salty!
    Daniel B.

    The appetizer -- a waffle like biscuit draped in honey butter sauce is five stars. It's one of the most impressive appetizers I've yet eaten in la. With that said, I ordered the Rosemary chicken. Vegetables were lightly seasoned, as well as the mash. Reasonably priced for being at the center of the commerce casino. The chicken was drenched in salt. I have absolutely no idea why it turned out like that, but I was with a very important person, so I held back my complaint. I would recommend ordering a side item appetizer or a sandwich and forego their dinner items. Doesn't seem like an entree type of place, but more so of a casual quick bite

    Waffles for the table
    Judith W.

    Came here for dinner on a Saturday night. Food and service was great. They give you complimentary mini waffles instead of bread. It's served with a honey apple butter sauce that is amazing. I had a burger which I ordered medium. It was a little pinker than I like but still perfect. My daughter had pesto pasta and she liked her entree. Our table also ordered the ice cream brownie dessert. I give it two thumbs up. It's large enough for 4 adults to share. Stop by Commerce Casino for a meal if you're in the area. *the price range on yelp is incorrect. It is $10-$20 for entrees.

    Short Rib Bourguignon
    Irene L.

    I had the Short Rib Bourguignon - The meat was so moist it was unbelievable and the eggplant, carrots, and zucchini with the mash potatoes this was a flawless combination.

    Service is lackluster and spotty. Had the rib eye $26. Pretty dry. Had to ask for au jus or something and got pesto sauce. Asked for bread or dinner roll and was offered complimentary mini waffles. Alcohol menu is limited to beers and wine. You could to the bar and get your own but they won't. Ambience is tranquil and peaceful - vintage Xmas music playing in the background. Food tasted ok but longed for a good steak and this was not it. If you're looking for an experience, or even a nice dinner, more than just satiating/quenching your hunger, this is not the place. I support local businesses and hope this place improves their service and responsiveness. For the menu prices, there is plenty of room for improvement.

    Second time here, first time the food was a little heavy. Ordered the Salmon and enchiladas this time and it was slightly better. The waffles are great Service was great. Ambience was good

    Miso Salmon
    Victoria G.

    First time here and I really loved the great service (Dan) and food. Definitely ask for the mini waffles with honey apple butter. The salmon was delicious!

    Room service salad and steak.
    Lila M.

    Ordered Farmers Salad the lettuce was a bit soft and the dressing tasted off. Steak was good tasting ans the potatoes were delish. 54 bucks for this meal def not worth it for the taste but for the convenience of room service is what we paid for.

    Miso salmon and steak and eggs both great choices! So flavorful  and decedent

The steak was delicious, the Friday dinner specials were a great value, and the atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming.

    It was my first time dining at Steven's steakhouse. I was there for a retirement celebration…read moredinner. It was Sunday evening and the place was packed. There was a special event going on. Music was very loud and many people were dancing in a small dancing area. The noise level is so loud that my Apple Watch gave me a warning that exposure to this level of noise will cause hearing loss. There was a total of eleven of us. We ordered some appetizers (a combo platter with various fried stuff, and stuffed mushrooms), prime ribs, New York steak with shrimp scampi, Italian surf and turf, and many other entrees. Each entree comes with choice of soup or salad plus homemade pasta (which is a small side of spaghetti with sauce). Bread is served at the beginning. The bread is excellent. The side of spaghetti is very good. The sauce is slightly spicy which I liked. But someone at my table didn't care for it being spicy. I had the Italian surf and turf which includes 8-oz Filet mignon and 6-Oz lobster tail and lobster ravioli. The Filet mignon was okay (average). The lobster tail was over cooked. The best thing on my plate was the lobster ravioli. Needless to say, I was disappointed. For the prices they charge, I expected to have a delicious well prepared meal. Parking for this place is terrible. The parking lot is very small. Street parking is very limited. I would not be coming back. First of all, food was just average but prices are high. Secondly, It was so noisy that it made my dining experience not enjoyable. Last but not least, parking is a problem.

Just a couple of weeks ago, my friends and I were considering our options for where to have brunch to celebrate one of our friend's retirement. Toast was one of the names I dropped in the metaphorical hat, and it won the vote of a few. My friends were surprised that I had named a spot I hadn't yet tried since I'm usually the "foodie" of the group. However, another girl in the group who had been here before vouched for it. I'm glad I finally got to try this place this past weekend, and I cannot wait to return! There were so many things on their menu that I wanted to try. A couple of the ladies ordered green chilaquiles, the friend we were celebrating ordered the Spanish Omelet, another woman I'd met that day had the bacon and eggs, another one ordered the Biscuits and grave with a side of bacon that looked perfectly crispy. I wish I had taken pictures of the plates as it all looked so lovely! I didn't even take a picture of my own food haha. I had my eyes on an omelet, one of the Benedicts or the Chicken n Waffle. In the end, the chicken and waffle won. It comes served with a little container of maple syrup with bacon pieces. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The waffle was delicious, though I did request for some extra syrup on the side. To drink, a few ladies ordered mimosas, one ordered an iced caramel coffee, and I ordered the Carajillo. I fell in love with this drink last summer in Mexico and do not often see it on the menu. I love the subtle citrus notes the Licor 43 adds to this espresso drink. It is very similar to an espresso martini, and theirs comes topped with a toasted marshmallow. I honestly wanted to try almost every item in their Tipsy Barista section of their drinks. I'll just have to come back that many more times :) Plenty of parking in the mall lot. It does get pretty packed during peak hours. Fortunately I had called ahead to put our group of 6 down. We went in on Saturday around 11:30. It slowed down a bit while we were eating, but started to get busy again after 1. Otherwise, we might have been forced to honor their 90-minute rule. All in all, a great experience from everyone in our group. No complaints on the wait, service or food. That certainly deserves a toast. Great job, Toast!

Once we were ready she had our table already prepared. We have to order inside first before you can be seated. Once seated our food came out not too long after. Everything looked and tasted delicious! We ordered the chilaquiles verde, short rib omelette, tropical pancakes (seasonal), and the mango curd french toast (seasonal). The chilaquiles verde was savory and tangy. It wasn't soggy at all and definitely one of my favorite dishes. The short rib omelette was savory but didn't give me any wow factor compared to the other dishes I ordered. The tropical pancakes were so pretty. I only tried a piece of it without the syrup which I think was a mistake because the kumquat syrup was my friend's favorite. I definitely need to try it again with the syrup. Best for last, mango curd French toast was my favorite! I fell in love with sweetness and tanginess of the mango curd. The French toast was soft and you can taste the butter. I wish it was a main menu item. I'll definitely be sad to see it go. They have lots of seating inside and outside.

What really stands out to me is the customer service. We had such a kind and friendly server who took the time to talk with us, which made us feel so welcome. That's the kind of service that keeps you coming back. We ended up staying for almost three hours because that's how comfortable and relaxed we felt at The Marketplace.

Im annoyed by how expensive it was. I'm so disappointed because they used to give a lot more than just 4 pcs of pita too when you order a full appetizer side. You get better back for your buck if you get a sandwich because it comes with two pretty large sides... the same size as a regular appetizer lol. The food used to be so good back then. The recipe and flavors have changed. Service is always great and ambiance is fun though. It's very clean here.

Dinner was $70 per person and consisted entirely of shared plates. It turned out to be plenty of food. We started with the roasted shishito peppers and the crispy pork belly. That pork belly was the best dish of the night - absolutely delicious. Next came the chickpea fritters, which were also really good. The roasted beet salad was up next. I hate beets. But I still liked this. I wouldn't order it again because, yeah, I really don't like beets. But if you like them even a little, you should get this. I actually ate several bites of this, and it was nice. The Sichuan Chili Bass presented a similar situation as I don't really like fish - but again, I ate this and it was quite tasty. Dessert was a "s'mores" situation - a messy, glorious bowl of chocolate, meringue, graham cracker crunch and strawberries. Service was awesome - perfectly pacing the meal. My friend had a couple of cocktails which were gorgeous. And the room is lovely and light. I don't love the neighborhood and parking can be tough. I definitely would come early unless you're taking a taxi. Genuinely surprised how much I liked this meal. Everything was very well done and clearly made with care without seeming fussy or too precious. Highly recommend and would definitely come back. This is a place to take your out-of-town friends to.

It's run by the husband-and-wife team of Chef Ori Menashe and pastry chef Genevieve Gergis--the same powerhouse duo behind Bavel and Saffy's--and the execution across the board shows why their spots stay consistently packed. One great thing about Bestia is how they keep their menu dynamic--while anchor staples stick around, they rotate their seasonal produce, crudos, and specialty meat entrées based on what's fresh and in season. Peruvian Scallop Crudo: Bright, refreshing, and clean. The combination of meyer lemon cream, chili, herb oil, subtle strawberry, and fennel pollen brought just the right amount of sweetness and balanced acidity to kick off the meal. Herb Caesar Salad: Solid take on a classic. Crisp romaine tossed with parmigiano reggiano, lemon zest, and squid ink breadcrumbs that gave it a great textural crunch. Roasted Marrow Bone: A permanent staple for a reason. Rich, decadent bone marrow served alongside delicate spinach gnocchetti, crispy breadcrumbs, sesame, and aged balsamic. Mixing the marrow directly into the gnocchetti makes every bite incredible. Cavatelli alla Norcina: Easily the standout dish of the night. The ricotta dumplings had the perfect chew, paired with savory pork sausage, fresh thyme, and a very generous blanket of shaved truffles--they definitely do not skimp on the truffle here. Aged Duck: Outstanding. The aging process gave the meat an incredible depth of rich flavor, cooked tender and juicy with a nicely rendered, crisp skin. Service was attentive, dishes came out well-paced, and the space still holds that signature bustling, industrial DTLA vibe. An easy 5/5.
