    La Picosa Old Fashioned.
    Damon B.

    Off the top, this review will focus on the vibe and cocktails--not necessarily the cuisine. Beverages: 4/5. So far, its coo. I was there Saturday & Sunday for two separate birthday parties and switched it up. Saturday was the La Picosa Old Fashioned and last night was the Matty Walker. La Picosa is decent, but very much in the fold of replacing the whiskey/bourbon with Mezcal in classic cocktails. Thus, nothing that stood out. In my opinion, between the two, the Matty Walker was the standout with all the ingredients hitting their mark. Reminded me a bit of some of the cocktails at The Cambridge House in the Marais, Paris. The Super Dry Larger is crisp and refreshing. Friends didn't have a glowing review of the Marvarita. Apparently it leaned heavy on the salt and lacked the bite of fresh lime juice. Not really my drink of choice, so taking their word for it for now. Cuisine: 3/5. If you're a SoCal transplant and dislike spice, then Tex Mex might be your thing. All good. It aint' mine, but I knew that going into it. That said, the California Cheeseburger is decent and gets the job done. Definitely satiates your appetite if you're hungry. My friend ordered high priced fish and chips that were slightly soggy, as well as tasteless beans, so be advised. Service: 4/5. Better last night than Saturday night, but cool overall. Tall bro was hella attentive and checked back on us often, with consistent water refills. Ambiance: 5/5. This is where Marvito shines. Understated. Chill. No pretension, and hella dope retro interior decor. In a section of the city that acts like a flame to clout chasers and pretentious moths, Marvito is a breath of fresh air. Much respect to the vision here and I hope it retains its laidback vibe. Buen provecho.

    Snapper Leche De Tigre

    the automatic 20% service charge really do be making all of us mad, huh? LOL. but seriously, i always leave with an icky feeling when said charge is not disclosed by the server from the very start. and that's exactly what happened to me. besides that, the ambiance is very cozy and warm. and i do love their branding! sat at the bar and the bartenders were all so very nice and accommodating. leche de tigre was fire. wings would be fire if it had more sauce. and make sure you get some sauce on each bite, or it's quite flavor-less. will i be back to eat? probably not. will i be back for a drink? maybe. the possibility would be stronger if they had a happy hour.

    There's something very special about Marvito, and somehow it's still one of the best-kept secrets. I honestly wish I could go higher than 5 stars on this one. The food is genuinely terrific, but what really makes the place hum is the people. Bar staff, servers, host--everyone on the team was rad. We rolled in to watch the conference NFL games and instead landed in what felt like a perfectly calibrated Sunday situation. Not a scene. Not sleepy. Just right. Every member of the Marvito crew was smiling, laughing, radiating good energy. Maybe it was the margs. Maybe the tequila shots. Whatever it was, it turned what could've been a family-heavy, kid-filled afternoon into something that still absolutely slapped. That's not easy to pull off. Also: an objectively impressive number of dimes in the room. Big shouts to y'all. Only real bummer: the two TVs aren't ideal for a full-blown watch-party setup. But honestly? Not the end of the world. The vibe carried it, and the day still hit. They bill themselves as an "elevated dive bar meets psychedelic honky-tonk," and for once, the branding isn't lying. It feels like the OG grit Fairfax used to have (not whatever the hell it is now), mashed up with a Venice-era looseness, somehow connected by the cinematic DNA of The Nice Guys. Slightly unhinged, deeply charming, and very intentional. Marvito isn't trying too hard--and that's exactly why it works. big love to you guys.

    Chicken Piccata and Linguini with Butter and Parmesan
    Evan W.

    Nestled within a revamped cottage on Harper just up from Santa Monica Blvd., Marvito has the look of a 1970's finished basement, with dark woods and warm lighting giving the room a relaxed vibe that immediately makes you feel welcome and comfortable. It's a small room with an adjacent patio, so be sure to make a reservation -- we did, but elected to sit at the bar because that was our mood. The staff was friendly, professional and accommodating, and our bartender, Ulysses, took very good care of us. Cocktails are creative and tasty without being too, too pricey, and they have a fairly extensive list of tequilas, mezcals and other spirits if you're craving a top shelf moment. The menu is making headlines for its unique blend of Mexican and Italian foods. It's not fusion, because the cuisines stay in their lanes; it's just unexpected (and more than a little delightful) to find tacos and quesadillas on the same menu as Chicken Piccata and Veal Parmigiana. But I'm here to tell you it works... really well. We started with grilled olives tossed in herbs and lemon, served alongside what they call "bar nuts." The olives were big and meaty, and very tasty. The nuts were a mix direct from the tin, without any touch of cheffing whatsoever, and a bit disappointing given the success of the olives. My wife ordered the Shrimp Crispy Tacos, which were packed with diced shrimp and a raft of Mexican spices, folded into fried shells and topped with a bonus, jumbo shrimp. Lots of flavor with a very satisfying crunch. I ordered the Chicken Piccata, because how could I not? 3 medallions of white meat chicken are pan sautéed with lemon, capers and a richer-than-usual lemon/butter sauce. On the side: linguini in butter and garlic, with a generous dusting of fresh Parmesan cheese. This was the best expression of Chicken Piccata we've had in a good, long time, and we highly recommend you give it a try. We also ordered a side of the fried potatoes: crispy on the outside with a soft, pillowy interior, all seasoned nicely and tasting top notch. They were even more perfect (is that possible?) when slid through the Piccata sauce. We were too full for dessert, but will come back to sample those ASAP!! A fun place with an eclectic menu of very tasty food and drink, and very much worth a pilgrimage

    Sashimi  Burger and fries Salsa and chips
    Nikki K.

    Food- good, I enjoyed the fresh chips and Salsa and the grilled zucchini very much! Service -good and friendly welcome Ambiance - my favorite part, very viby and cozy Cons- the 25% service fee attached to our bill for two people which tacked on an extra 25% on top of taxes and total . and This service charge does not go to them as a tip so then I had to tip. Would I ever return or recommend NO . What would they charge a table of four, 50-75% service fee?

    chili colorado (with rice, beans, tortillas), chicken tinga quesadilla, potatoes, shrimp enchiladas
    Samantha G.

    I love the vibe of this place! (RIP Gardens of Taxco). It has kind of a side of the road 80s bar feel to it. It is dark, plays great music (Paul Simon, the Eagles), and just overall feels 70s/80s retro. The food was good, some things were EXCELLENT (please order the potatoes and the chile colorado)! The shrimp enchiladas, guacamole with chips, and tortilla soup were good, the chicken tinga quesadilla is not a must, but still enjoyable. I will say, it was just a random Tuesday and the place was PACKED, like way too packed. The bathroom was a bit gross, I opted to wait until I got home to use the restroom. One thing to note, especially, is that they automatically include 20% gratuity. Our waiter did not mention this to us, luckily my husband saw on the bill, because I was not paying attention. There were only 3 of us, so I was a bit surprised at that. I always tip 20% but had my husband not noticed, I would have unknowingly tipped 40%. I did not see this on the menu either. So I thought that was a bit odd. Otherwise, our service was great, our waiter was super nice and provided recommendations and had a cute personality. As I said, it was suuuuper busy, so he was really hustling. But just know that 20% will automatically be added! You can also add additional if you want.

My husband ate all of his burrito and there was a lots I got a pastrami and egg taco and that also was soo yummy and different. The egg was runny in the taco and it almost tasted like carbonara? If that makes sense?? The truffle guacamole here I've never had anything like this. The guacamole tasted so truffle without overpowering or feeling too rich. I loved it and the chips were really crispy and a bit more of a crunch them. We also got the 3 street taco platter with Korean bbq, chicken and Al pastor. Al pastor was my favorite of the bunch. Didn't love the Korean bbq one too much but it was very juicy. I also got a cuspid fish taco. So good but I ordered way too much food. I also got a hibiscus agua Fresca and it tastes so fresh that I don't drink but I'm curious what their alcoholic drinks would taste like cause it feels like it would be super refreshing and crisp. Also don't sleep on the fried potato taquitos, you know I don't think there needs to be THAT much potato but it was sooo good the outside was like a chimichanga fried Mexican eggroll. This is def a great place to go on a date or hang out with your friends. Love the vibes here. Very fun!

There are so many trendy restaurants in LA with beautiful interiors but disappointing food... this was NOT one of them. Vibe & Atmosphere * Gorgeous Tulum-inspired design * Perfect for date night, birthdays, girls' night out, or special occasions * Busy even on a Monday night * One of the most aesthetically beautiful restaurants I've visited in LA Service 10/10 service from start to finish. Our server was incredibly friendly, attentive, and the food came out quickly. The entire birthday dinner experience felt special and well executed. Drinks All of our cocktails were delicious and beautifully presented. What We Ordered Sea Bass Tacos Excellent flavor with the perfect amount of spice. Tiger Shrimp Tacos My favorite tacos of the night. So flavorful and perfectly cooked. Mushroom Carnitas (10/10) The BEST side we ordered. Made with king trumpet mushrooms and seasoned perfectly. If you order only one side, make it this. Wagyu Beef Short Rib Barbacoa Tender, fall-off-the-bone meat served with tortillas. Absolutely delicious. Black Truffle Burrata The perfect sweet-and-savory starter. The fresh honey and truffle combination was incredible. Flaming Branzino Beautiful presentation and tableside service, but the flavor was underwhelming compared to everything else. Butter Cake Warm butter cake served with ice cream and berries. This was hands down my favorite dessert. Birthday Dessert A brownie with strawberries and raspberry sauce. Good, but I preferred the butter cake. Price Around $100 per person. A 20% service charge was already included. Final Thoughts Beautiful restaurant, incredible atmosphere, excellent service, and surprisingly great food. A little pricey for the portion sizes, but I would absolutely come back. Next time, I'm trying their brunch!

I definitely suggest taking a table as soon as you go in because it fills up fast, and you don't want to be stuck holding your food with no place to sit.

However, the reason I'm giving 2 stars is because of the valet parking experience. First, I was charged $25 even though the sign clearly stated that valet parking is $17 for the first 3 hours, and $25 after 3 hours. Our reservation was at 6:30 PM, we arrived on time, and we left before 9 PM, so the charge did not make sense. When I asked the valet attendant, he kept saying, "because you dined there," without giving any clear explanation. If it is actually a flat rate for restaurant guests, then that should be clearly stated upfront to customers. Second, when I got into my car, I noticed that someone had touched the navigation settings because the compass direction and display were different from what I normally use. I do not understand why there was any need to adjust or touch my navigation system at all. I really think the restaurant needs to improve and better manage its valet parking system. Honestly, it felt like I was being charged a random price just because I was told, "you dined there." If there is a flat valet rate for restaurant guests, that information should be clearly communicated upfront instead of leaving customers confused at the end.
