    Lamb chops over rice with potatoes and mac
    Kenny W.

    I had this place last week. I was stunned by the delicious flavors. I had the lamb chops, mash potatoes, and mac n cheese. Everything was so well seasoned and packed with all kinds of love. I recommend everyone try this place. Lots of great food, and really cool vibes.

    Pasta was creamy, spicy and perfectly cooked. The jerk drummettes were a tad bit tough. The cabbage was soggy and salty. I ordered Grub Hub delivery. The food was delivered by a guy on a bicycle. That my have affected the quantity. I wish I had experienced this food in the restaurant, so I could feel the vibe of the place and get entree suggestions.

    First time trying Jerk Chicken LA and I'm honestly confused.... Ima just say yall own me another plate 5.8/10

    I saw the plates online and they looked nicely plated, sauced up, everything looking professional. That's literally what made me pull up and spend my money. But the plate I actually got? Man... this was not it. Presentation alone was rough. It didn't even look appetizing when I opened it. And when food doesn't look good to the eye, nine times out of ten it's not hitting the tongue either. Taste-wise I'm giving it a 5.8/10 at best. The cabbage was the only thing that was decent. For my first experience, this was disappointing because the food online looked way better than what was served. So look... Jerk Chicken LA, I'm keeping it real: Y'all owe me another plate. Let me run it back so I can see what the hype is actually about and give a fair review Because right now the marketing and the reality are two completely different plates

    The food and service was amazing. Customer service was great good vibes and I really enjoyed myself if you're looking for a jerk food come here.

    Jerk Rasta Pasta and Lamb Chops Dinner with wing dinner

    We celebrated my husband's birthday here. The food was excellent and the service was superb. We will be back.

    Lamb chop dinner

    The food is trash. It used to be good when they had the other chef. But of course if you don't know authentic Jamaican food then you will say this food is amazing. Boyfriend tested positive for Salmonella after eating here one night. The chef they have now is inconsistent. I ordered fried chicken they give me jerk wings. Literally wings marinated in a jerk sauce. The cabbage was super spicy. It tasted like a scotch bonnet. The Mac and cheese only Mac lol. The rice mushy overly cooked. I ordered a lamb chop dinner. Lamp chops marinated in jerk sauce and the lamb was tough. The yams were cut up drenched in yam juice. Straight sweet potatoes no yams iykyk. I walked in on a Friday night it was dead! The manager was outside chatting with a customer so I stood at the bar while the waitress sat on her phone. She didn't acknowledge me once. I got help when the manager walked in from her conversation to help me. If you're looking for authentic food there's so many places Tevs kitchen, Boukas, Country Style Jamaican restaurant, Wah Gwaan Jamaican Kitchen & Bar and Sattdown Jamaican restaurant , I'm a food blogger I leave real reviews for the community. The customer service is garbage. You google the business it has about 5 different numbers attached all not in service. Google the name it takes you to their old food truck location just a hot mess then want to charge $30 plus a plate!! I love quality food! This place needs to revamp, and hire a new chef! This is not authentic Jamaican food!

    I'm so happy to be back eating with jerk kitchen again. I got the Oxtail Rasta Pasta, it was delicious. Everyone working smiled at me and I had great service when getting my food. I'll be back soon

Our dish picks were organized ahead of time and the staff did a great job at pacing the dishes and making sure enough was ordered for our party size. Favorites were hands down the Bluefin Tuna Toast, Edna's Sour Milk Cornbread, Cherokee Tomato Cesar, Mushroom Crusted Pork Chop, and the Beef Ribeye (the bone marrow made this even better!) so if you have to make tough decisions I'd prioritize those and honestly skip dessert. The restaurant has a hip/cozy feel and you can see the chefs making the food in the open kitchen which is right in the dinning room. There is valet parking or if you luck out you may be able to find street parking around neighboring streets.

We had the cornbread (great), the chili with tortillas (amazing and my favorite), the trout (HUGE) and large enough to share and have left overs and the chive mashed potatoes (amazing). The food was great and did not disappoint. My friend is also talking about how skinny the wine glasses are here and she was not wrong! The thinnest wine stems I have ever seen. The only thing that sat a little weird with me was we had ordered a bottle of wine. They said they would keep it chilled for us, which was fine. They would come over and fill up our glass. However, I don't know if it was because it was the end of the night or what, but we had to ask for the rest of our bottle. Our server didn't know if we had any left but we ended up having two glasses worth in the bottle. If we didn't ask for it, we would not have received the wine we paid for, which was $70. It just put a sour taste in my mouth for the end of our experience. The food was great, but I may recommend keeping your bottle of wine on your table.

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!

My friend and I ordered the soy marinated prawns, beef tartare stone pot rice, creamy chicken soup, Wagyu beef soft tofu soup. The prawns were nicely marinated in a slightly sweet slightly salty soy sauce, and came paired with some barley and seaweed to make mini wraps. Delicious and a nice way to start the meal. The creamy chicken soup was indeed very creamy and smooth but the bowl is really small and would've been better with a higher soup to noodle ratio since the noodles soaked up the yummy soup. The tofu soup was surprisingly bland even though it was very red. It could've used more umami flavor or spice - something to jazz it up since the tofu, egg, and beef itself were not seasoned. My favorite dish of the night was the steak tartare stone pot rice. It came with a lot of veggies that helped balance out the sauce and I'm a sucker for crispy rice. However, the rice itself wasn't seasoned thoroughly as some spots had absolutely delicious sauce while other spots were bland. And the sauce wasn't a part of the tartare on top so it wasn't a mixing issue. The staff are kind and attentive, even with us being tucked away in the back corner and hidden by a curtain panel.

I recommend taking the elevator up and the staircase down so you can see the illuminated glass elevator. The dining room is beautifully designed by Peter Marino. What stood out to me was the caviar with egg crème. I am not a caviar fan but am glad my friend suggested we try it. It was my favorite course. The other courses were thoughtfully prepared as expected with attention to detail and flavor profiles that demonstrates 3 star Michelin chef Crenn's passion and imagination. It was good. My least favorite was the beef cheek. It is a difficult cut to make tender and mine was on the not so tender side. Taste was delicious. Service was fine and they were able to accommodate the caviar course change after ordering. I left satisfied and would recommend a visit when the opportunity presents itself.

I met Dominique many years ago working at a L.A. based country club and fond her to be very gracious and thoughtful. So happy to see that she has fully come into her own. It's located in the Christian Dior atelier on Rodeo drive so good luck finding parking other than valet. In any event the entrance is beautiful and when you arrive via elevator you are treated to a beautiful open air concept carefully curated with both indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant was packed: side note that throughout our two foray of DineLA fine dining we were amazed by the number of Asian tourists at these restaurants. At M. Dior almost EVERY table was occupied by Asian tourists. Just an observation and not a racial profiling. Our server was very engaging and we chose the $95 three course prix fixe menu and I opted for the $75 wine pairing (which was not particularly memorable). We started with an amuse bouche of Tomato Water Meringue and sour dough bread. The amuse was fine but the bread and butter (with tiny violet pedals sprinkled on the butter) was amazing: so much so that we asked for a second helping. The first course was a tomato Rosette and a Rockfish Tartare. The tomato rosette was delicate, very flavorful and beautifully prepared (whipped feta and nectarine "sambal"). The rockfish tartare was good but, generally speaking (and this was the second time in a week that we experienced a rockfish preparation) the fish is rather tasteless. with grapes, carrot and shallot XO. But the star of the night were the entrees: Potato Agnolotti and Beef Cheek. The Potato Agnolotti which appeared like a version of gnocchi, came in a lovely mussel sauce. The beef cheek was slow roasted for 50 hours and served with a fish sauce caramel (Umami?), broccolini and bone marrow. It too was fabulous. Dessert consisted of a chocolate cannage, a pillow-like presentation that was both delicate and rich, on a bed of cherry confiture. The strawberry sorbet was refreshing served with St. Germain and strawberry jus. Truly a memorable evening. One other side note: the portions were rather small but we attributed that to the fact that it was a tasting menu. We did see some a la carte dishes go by that looked more substantial.

But my true love was the chef's Korean-style chicken wings . Those wings were basically the BTS concert of the entire meal--the kind of dish that completely stole the show! I honestly lost count of how many dishes we got. All I remember is that by the end, we were completely stuffed and satisfied. No walking out hungry like some other omakase experiences!
