I wish I had pictures, but I'm terrible at remembering to take them before we dig in lol. The sea bass was really good and cooked to perfection. The pizza is amazing, the burger is good, and they have a great selection of wine. I recently tried the poke bowl, but unfortunately, I wasn't too impressed- it just wasn't my favorite. The desserts, though!! The apple pie and blueberry pie were both sooo yummy. Definitely recommend saving room for dessert!

He offered me digestive drink and it was very generous. - The place is so cute. The ambiance is just perfection for a date night. Cons: The food - Bufalina pizza: added prosciutto. The sauce wasn't very tasty, it added nothing. Most disappointing, the crust, it was really soggy and floppy. Like zero structure and so bland. Had to eat with fork and knife and was grumpy the whole time. There was char, but only at the edge. The char hardly provided any flavor. This was nothing like Gjelina but it was priced like Gjelina. I can't get over this. Hoping the pizza improves. I won't know though, I'm not willing to return. - Gluten-free pasta wild boar: the gluten free pasta is penne shaped. The sauce was yummy but the pasta was falling apart. No structure or substance again.

I was instantly so glad we chose this spot to celebrate our anniversary because it was the perfect setting for a romantic date night. Now, let's talk about the food! Everything we ordered was delicious, with the exception of the Korean aguachiles, which we probably could've skipped. We also tried the bluefin bibimbap, oysters, and the oh-so-tender short rib that practically melted in our mouths. But the most unforgettable dish was also the simplest: the Korean fried chicken. It wasn't necessarily something out of the ordinary, but it sure tasted like it. The perfect crisp, flavor, and seasoning had us eating every last piece right down to the bone. Our server also made the experience even better. She gave us some of the best recommendations and were incredibly attentive and friendly throughout the entire meal. We absolutely loved this restaurant and are already planning our next visit!

Tried this place during a recent staycation on Sawtelle. It's a few blocks north of Sawtelle's…read moreepicentre between Olympic and La Grange, in the old Plan Check space on the corner of Nebraska. They opened in November 2025. The Mulberry is a Korean spot, but no tabletop grills. Across the street is another Korean place. Mulberry serves dinner Wed-Sun. The menu is kind of "greatest Korean hits", including a few charcoal grilled items. The drink menu is pretty extensive. It's a smallish space with both indoor and outdoor seating and a darkish, festive atmosphere. Here's what we ordered: 1) Korean aguachile--flounder in a cold kimchi broth that was partially granita-like. Refreshing. 2) Fried chicken wings. Pretty classic. Supposedly half plain and half soy-garlic, but they were pretty similar. A nice sweet chili sauce on the side, along with some pickled daikon and other veggies. I like a sweet glaze directly on my wings, but these had a good crunch. 3) Chilled acorn noodle. With greens, toasted nori and a jammy egg. Cooling, but the greens were a bit harsh for me. 4) Savory egg souffle. Nice but nothing out of the ordinary. 5) Spicy braised black cod. I was worried it would be too spicy but actually was very mild, possibly tomato-based sauce with nicely braised daikon and a side of slightly pickled napa cabbage. 6) Grilled beef short rib. Delish! More like a hangar steak than short rib. Came with a dipping sauce, coarse salt, lemon and a little salad with a pungent dressing. 7) Hotteok a la mode. A caramelized cinnamon "crepe" with toasted seeds and vanilla ice cream. Delish. They also had a strawberry bingsu (Korean dairy-based shaved ice) that sounded good, a collaboration with Korean Ice Co. down the street. Note Mulberry claims it's a no tipping establishment, but adds a 20% "fee" to your bill. Overall a nice meal, on the pricey side. I do think I prefer Japanese food more, but Mulberry is a good introduction to Korean.

My wife and I used to love Simonette -- it was our go-to for a steak and fries fix. Our last visit,…read morethough, was disappointing. We ordered the tuna tartare, steak frites, and roasted chicken. The tartare was excellent, but the entrees fell flat. The steak used to be a tender filet; this time the cut was chewy, cut with the grain, and smothered in a new curry sauce. I don't know if we got a bad cut or if they've downgraded quality to manage rising beef prices, but the sauce felt like it was masking something. At $41, I can't justify the dish. The chicken's flavor was still good, but the portion seemed smaller, and it's no longer served with their excellent whipped potatoes. Sadly, we're moving on. LA has no shortage of great restaurants, and at these prices, every dish needs to earn it. C'est la vie, Simonette.

Even with that, only bar seating was available. We were a party of three, so we happily took it and were immediately seated. Maya, our server, was assisting those of us seated at the bar.

Food was good and came out of the kitchen at lightning speed. Drip coffee, cold brew and/or an espresso martini are your coffee choices. Some fun cocktail concoctions should you fancy one of those. The playlist for Sunday brunch at Hatchet Hall was spot on for the environment of the restaurant. Kudos to whoever chose it. It rounded out the food, decor and service nicely.

The server was really friendly and patient as we worked through the menu. We all know the star of the show is the cornbread- literally no question. But a surprising opportunity came through the fried green tomatoes benedict. They had a beautiful crunch and fullness to them. The fried chicken was delicious - i wished it was a full meal with a side (not just coleslaw). I ordered the steak and eggs as an entree and it was cooked well but slightly paled in comparison to the other things on the table. I would definitely come back to Hatchet and can't wait to try other menu items.

My friend also got a yuzu-ginger tonic to go. - iced black sesame latte: very yummy and different! Definitely not sweet at all, so I added in simple syrup. This made it super delicious. -yuzu-ginger tonic: verryyyyyy ginger heavy. Tasted like it would clear up any tummy issues for sure LOL - "French dip": my least favorite of the meal. I didn't particularly enjoy this, but I think it's maybe an acquired taste. The sandwich tasted almost bitter to me, and I am not a fan of bitter personally, so I wasn't a fan. My friend thought it was okay, but we agreed we wouldn't order it again. It was beautifully presented though lol - chicken schnitzel: so tasty! The chili crisp was delicious on top and I loved how crunchy and tender this was. It also didn't feel too heavy to me, even though it's literally fried chicken. The salad was fine, but nothing all that exciting. The staff were very kind, and the spot is super cute. I loved sitting outside and it was fun to eat at a place that feels high end without being stuffy or overly pretentious. I'd come back to try other items and just for the ambience, honestly!

It's clear they've put intentional effort into improving this week, as service was a highlight for us. Our waiter, Sunny, was so polite, quick, and communicative. He had a lot of tables to cover, as it was a packed and chaotic room during the Mexico vs. Ecuador game last night. The N17 burger and fries (both the regular shoe string fries and sweet potato fries) were fantastic! Both were cooked just right, very flavorful, and the fries were nice and crispy. The atmosphere and design of the restaurant in front isn't your typical "sports bar" - it feels more like a cute, sunny brunch restaurant with high-quality screens for sports viewing - but the clientele feels just like any other sports bar would :) It was very lively and fun to watch with others last night. For the World Cup, they've opened up their event space in the back which is not set up like a typical restaurant - but it was great for viewing! The screens are HUGE and very high-quality.

Listen, I understand being busy is one thing but blatantly ignoring paying customers that have been sitting and waiting to be served for 20-30 minutes after only ordering two drinks is strange to me. And then to come back and ask if we wanted to remove the items we already ordered without us having to bring it up just lets me know that you remembered all this time but chose not to serve us until someone had to go ask to be served AGAIN. Even other venues that are 5x bigger than this one have better customer service/attentiveness. We also ordered the bottomless mimosas and only got through 2 bottles because it took them 20 minutes to bring out the first one and another 15 to bring out the second one when it was asked for. And on top of that, they act like they're doing YOU a favor by bringing out the food & drinks that YOU paid for. I have never written a negative review before but this experience was awful; just a waste of money &, what should have been, a good time.
