I was very skeptical- I am not into that Colliflower crap stuff normally like my wife is, but I tried a couple out and it was surprisingly good. I wouldn't order something like that myself but it was pretty good and she loved it.

Every dish that came out was crafted with intention--you can taste the quality, the creativity, and the consistency. Nothing felt rushed, nothing felt basic. It's the kind of place where you go thinking you'll try a few things and end up wanting the whole menu.

I'm new to really exploring more spots around Whittier, and I can confidently say--this is one of those places you keep in rotation. Whether it's a date night, night out with friends, or just pulling up solo at the bar, it hits every time. Do yourself a favor--go check out Guildhall. Thank me later.

On the other hand, they serve up a heaping plate of inconsistency. Three different items from their already small menu weren't available. No Al Pastor? Multiple beers tapped out? And this was early in the evening, not closing time. It made me wonder: supply chain problem, or did they just forget to go shopping? With only one server and one cook on duty, the whole place had a vibe of "we're trying, but please don't look too closely." Service was friendly, but the overall atmosphere felt a little uncomfortable, like something was just... off. As for the food: the Pumba tacos were excellent, the Gobernator shrimp taco was also good, and then there was the "side salad." Calling it a salad feels generous. It looked like someone raided the burger garnish tray and charged me $8 for it. Full iceberg leaves, a few tomato slices, a browning avocado, and purple onion just sat there staring at me, daring me to fight it. It was such a disaster I almost had to set up a GoFundMe page for it. The space itself is modern and vibrant, and the menu ideas are creative -- if only you can actually order them.

I recently visited the Bodega Brewery to celebrate my birthday with friends, and it was an unforgettable experience. The speakeasy atmosphere was thrilling, with a great ambience that set the perfect tone for the evening. The food was beyond fantastic! We shared multiple dishes among our party of five, and the portions were more than generous. Every bite was a delight. The drinks were top-notch, offering a unique and flavorful selection that complemented the meal perfectly. What made the night truly special was the staff. They went out of their way to ensure my birthday celebration felt personal and memorable. To top it off, the desserts were absolutely delicious, and they thoughtfully provided us with plenty of plates for sharing. Overall, the combination of great food, drinks, and exceptional service made this a birthday to remember.
