    Tribal Margarita , very spicy but lacking enough alcohol lol
    Lusine K.

    We visited Aya for the first time with two of my friends last night. We ordered 2-3 items from each section. Food was great to my surprise! I do have to say their portions are very small, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. The customer service was phenomenal. Most of these new restaurants are so overrated with crappy food and crappy customer service, thankfully Aya is not one of them! I would suggest to go there for drinks and appetizers, considering the entire menu are just appetizers and the ambiance. The ambiance is pretty loud but they have some interesting entertainment. Very Tulum vibes.

    Feeling like I'm in Tulum!

    Pulled up for happy hour after work yesterday. Found this spot on Yelp. Found a parking spot around…read morethe corner in the residential neighborhood. The restaurant is beautiful and reminds me of being in Mexico. A Spanish theme and style. A lot of seating and it's also spacious with an outdoor patio that is open to the customers and also widely used for many event. Everything was clean from what I noticed. The music volume was tolerable as well as the selection of choice. Felt like I was on vacation for a min. A great spot to have drinks. A great to spot to meet up or even come for a date. The Melrose Mule was cool. Very refreshing like the bartender mentioned. It was different than the usual mules I get. And the Improved Whiskey was like having an Old Fashion and Whiskey Sour together. It did not disappoint. I also had an attentive bartender who had a good attitude. Didn't take long for him to make my drinks nor put in an order for a smash burger. The smash burger was acceptable. It was good, however, I was expecting something a little bit bigger in size. I like the presentation with it being wrapped in foil. It was cooked perfectly, it was hot and flavorful. No complaints other than the size. I wouldn't mind pulling back up for another happy hour when I'm back in the area. They have some more drinks I would love to try.

Though it's okay to have off days, it is not okay to be annoyed at customers. I promise you we were not difficult at all and placed easy orders. It was only two of us.

The bar staff know what they are doing and they are welcoming, chatty and chill. It feels like they actually want you there! My wife and I already love to swing by for a couple of post dinner drinks but we'll be back for some game day fun too - they have a bunch of screens. They don't do food BUT the couple who now own Her Little Bar also own a bunch of the restaurants nearby (Her Thai, Met Him At A Bar, and the recently opened The Night We Met). There are other great options too and whatever you go for, you can eat it in the bar. There's a good selection of drinks and the cocktails are solid. We already have a solid pub/microbrewery but this is a great bar with a different vibe. A bar has been in this location for years but we really love this new incarnation. The corridor between Wilshire Blvd and W 9th is becoming a great pocket for food and drink with good people looking for BS free good times and the Her Little Bar crowd, staff and management are a great example that. A welcome addition to the neighborhood.

They had a good selection of beers and my friends got their cocktails done perfectly. There was maybe one to two other people in this bar when we walked in. We had a booth all to ourselves.

    i almost overlooked this place at first because the ambiance doesn't scream "trendy italian spot,"…read morebut we ended up enjoying ourselves so much that i barely even remembered to take quick photos of the food before digging in, which says a lot because i usually photograph everything first. i ordered the rigatoni vodka with shrimp. i'm a huge pasta person, and this was cooked exactly how i like it. the sauce was creamy without feeling heavy, the shrimp tasted fresh, and the pasta texture was perfect. my friend got the bolognese and cleaned his plate, so that says enough. they also gave us complimentary calamari and prosecco, which was such a sweet touch and made the experience feel more welcoming. i also want to mention that the restaurant was very clean, and i liked the cute little details on the tables. it made the place feel cozy during dinner service, even when it got busy. my only criticism is that the music was loud enough that our table, along with the people next to us, were basically raising our voices to have conversations. not the end of the world, but definitely noticeable. overall though, i'd come back without hesitation. i can already see myself coming here alone one day, ordering another pasta and a drink, and just vibing for an hour!

Also don't be fooled, the pizza is bigger than the pic makes it seem. Definitely going to try some cocktails next time and their sister cafe across the street.

    The cutest hole in the wall bar that I have found. Stumbled upon it by accident and fell in love…read morewith the ambiance. It's dark but has warm lighting and really cool decor such as upside down stools and fireplaces on the ceiling. My bartenders Matt & Kelsey were super friendly & made some fire drinks. The menus are aesthetic to look at because drinks are categorized by type of liquor, each drink described in detail and each description is accompanied by a picture of what the drink is supposed to look like. However, there is no food menu just alcoholic drinks. I found parking across the street where the CVS & WholeFoods are located. I didn't have any issues, but I only parked there for about 2 hours. Right before I left, the bartenders helped me discover a secret entrance to the bar next door. When you walk in you'll notice a bookshelf, if you slide that bookshelf to the right, you'll open the entrance to the bar next door. Pretty cool! Will definitely come back again.

A group of 4 others inside and he was attentive to us all. He actually looked bored like he was hoping to get some action lol. I enjoyed my Old Fashioned. It was just right.

Food: we were treated to fries which were delicious! The Aviator offers a nice appetizer menu along with specialty drinks themed to the bar.
