    Burrata
    Noesh H.

    One of my favorite restaurants in all of LA. Everything from the ambiance, to the service, to the cocktails, and to the quality of food was unmatched. I can highly recommend the: - Vodka & Basil for a cocktail - Caviar Bump as an appetizer - Hamachi Crudo as an appetizer - Burrata as an appetizer - Creste Di Gallo Pasta as an entree - 8oz Filet Mignon Steak as an entree - Tiramisu - for dessert I will definitely be back to try out other menu options. This is the perfect dinner spot, with amazing flavors and menu options.

    Highlights: tuna tartare, squash blossoms, lobster pasta, branzino From the entrance to the interior, this place is colorful and beautiful. Contrary to the rumors that celebrities visit often and you can't take photos inside, I found them to be untrue. The lobster pasta and branzino were tasty, but what stood out most was the interior and atmosphere. Our server was not only fun but also incredibly friendly!

    It's about expectations ............. a bit pricey (expect that - it's in West Hollywood), it has a sense of "airs" and formality (when you look at my pics and others, this isn't intended to be fast food or a fav dive bar), the food preparation is very good (which takes time and talent), they charged 20% tip (disclosed in small print, only once), and adults only after 8:30 pm. This was a special occasion for us and so our expectations were set properly. As expected the food and service were very good. Of course, see my food and interior pics. Being in West Hollywood, we took ride share - no traffic or parking issues for me tonight. As you can see from my inside pics, it's an incredibly soft and welcoming environment. While these pics showed a well-lit dining area, the lights are toned down as the evening progresses and the environment changes to a more intimate experience. We started our dining experience about 6pm to a near empty restaurant and it started to fill up about 8 pm - FYI. Yet, the environment was still quiet and peaceful. As simple as it is, the grilled sourdough toast (back to expectations, this alone is $15) was great. There is something about the char on thick sourdough toast, see pic, and the rich butter that contrasts with the crunch that is so good. BUT, this only compliments the Baked Prawns, see pic. The shrimp, heads on, were nicely sized and not overly cooked. The chili was mild which let the garlic, basil flavors shine through. We shared several dishes including their Radiatore, see pic. This is Lamb Bolognese which was incredibly good. The lamb was rich but not fatty. The noodles were cooked al dente. As you can see in my pic, the sauce clings to the noodles which were also quite savory and flavorful. The Grilled Broccolini, see my pic, was still tender and lightly seasoned. The vinaigrette wasn't too spicy or hot, and so the vegetable's flavor came through and complimented the other dishes. As you can see from my pic, the 14 oz Pork Chop had THE sear on it. I find pork chops hard to grill with a sear on the outside and the right pinkness on the inside. This was perhaps a bit overdone; you can still see a hint of pink inside this large chop. It was mildly spiced, but the au jus was incredible. In fact, we asked for a serving spoon so that we could get every last drop of it. We finished with 2 desserts: Brown Sugar Budino and Lemon Tart. The Budino was as creamy as is looks, see my pic. While not too sweet, it was quite rich. Even still the earthiness of the brown sugar was allowed to shine through. Likewise, the Lemon tart, see pic, had a bit of tang, light on the lemon flavor and was a bit sweet. This crust was very light and flaky - which paired exceptionally well with the whipped cream (see pic of its presentation and density).

    My favorites were the bone marrow pasta and sourdough bread. Fun ambiance and enjoyed the live music on Saturday night. Branzino & vodka sauce pasta were good, but I have had better. Drinks were really great! Service was a bit too slow for us. We waited quite a bit to order. And it took long to get the check even when our table was already cleared from the food.

    Oysters order (dozen)
    Evan F.

    We joined a friend for dinner on Sunday night. The entrance greeting and service was wonderful from beginning to end. Let me throw in that this is not a place to dine for those on a tight budget. Our modest dinners and drinks averaged just under &200 per person. The restaurant added a 20% service charge (which was very fair considering the above and beyond service), but then taxed the service charge (which was actually the gratuity. Okay, back to our excellent dinner. I started with the Cesar salad. It was super large but so flavorful I easily finished it all. My guests loved their Stone Fruit & Tomato, the famous Sourdough Bread and the Shaved Fennel Salad. Our large order of oysters was fair as the oysters were pretty small, but flavorful and very well presented. For entrees I had the Baked Salmon which was perfectly prepared and cooked to perfection and very well presented. My guests ordered the Half Lobster Bucatini and the Pork Chop. Their plates looked delicious and nothing was left over. Cost to value was a bit high but I hope to return for another special occasion. Sometimes you can't put a price limit on fantastic service and that's exactly what we received.

    The hostesses really nice but unfortunately our server needs to work on his attitude and his tone. The drinks and food are mediocre. The reason why we gave one star so the management can improved in the future with training the employees to conducting themselves to the highest standards and professionalism towards the patrons. Otherwise customers will try once and won't coming back again.

    It's one of the coziest restaurants in WeHo. Their service is very fast, yummy foods, very friendly and attentive servers. Inside is really lovely and chill vibes. Highly suggest this place for dinner.

    Californian upscale dining in WeHo. Made a reservation for 6:30pm online beforehand but we had to be seated a bit late since traffic is atrocious. Metered street parking and valet parking available. Indoor dining only. Credit cards accepted. We were a bit apprehensive about how the dining experience would be given the other negative reviews lambasting the service, but everyone was so pleasant. Our waiter checked in on us often and we always had a full glass of water. We had the squash blossoms stuffed with ricotta (3) and baked prawns (4) to split as apps. I got the raviolo from their truffle menu; it was the first time I had such a giant stuffed pasta and this is also what made me realize ravioli is the plural form of the word. My sister got the bone marrow pasta which they cut and topped right before serving, and my dad got the lobster bucatini. The bucatini was fresh and cooked al dente. For dessert, we ended with the chocolate ball. I was unfortunate to have missed the melting of the ball since I was in the restroom but the dessert itself was tasty.

    Filet mignon with peppercorn, baby sweet potatoes
    William G.

    I came here with some buddies of mine from the undergrad years. My buddy suggested this place, so we came here on a Friday evening. This place has valet parking, which was nice as I did not have to hassle finding a spot along the street. I walked in here, and I was pleased with the ambiance. I joined my buddies, and we ordered drinks while we decided on what to order. I decided to go with my favorite... filet mignon. The waiter gave me an option of two different sauces, of which I chose peppercorn. On the side, I ordered baby sweet potatoes. To drink, I had an espresso martini. The filet mignon was delicious, cooked to perfection, and the peppercorn added a kick of flavor. The baby sweet potatoes were warm, soft, and came with their own sauce that complemented them perfectly. The espresso martini gave me a nice buzz, and also a kick of energy. The waiter was attentive, consistently checking in on us, and making sure we were taken cared of. The staff here was amazing, they exuded an aura of positivity. I was very impressed by this place, and I can see myself coming back here in the foreseeable future. This place is a gem, come give them a try!

    Fantastic food! Took my friend here for his birthday dinner and I'm so glad i did! I love the decor and ambiance. We ordered several dishes to share. Boujis Bread Burrata Salad Rigatoni Grilled Branzino Roasted Honeynut Squash Everything was delicious. The bread is super addicting and worth ordering, even if it's a bit heavy. It's almost like it was baked in butter and then baked in more butter. So good! Burrata was soft and went well with the tomatoes. Perfect Bronzino and Squash. I'll admit that the Rigatoni wasn't my favorite. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a bit more moist, but I felt it was mostly dry. Service was fast and friendly. Valet parking available, but metered parking in the area. I'd totally come back and try some of their other dishes.

    Saturday night with a DJ playing by the bar. It was buzzing. Inside or outdoors - were set up good for romantic date nights or with a group of friends. Our server was super nice. Food wise - it was surprisingly good. We had a a few dishes and were all satisfying. The tuna tartare was fresh with crispy taro chips. The tiger prawns were flavorful with some chili spices. We had a basketful of truffle fries and the Creste de Gallo - pasta with bone marrow served table side was my favorite. I don't mind going back there. I like the place. $50 for corkage. Valet was also available.

    Vodka sauce pasta
    Kean A.

    Solid place for a date night or special occasion. Really like the decor and ambiance. Our server was great and food was delicious. We were a group of three and got the prawns and Brussels sprouts to start, then vodka sauce pasta, pork chop, and salmon for our mains. It was odd when we arrived at 6:15 to a mostly empty restaurant and the hostess wasn't sure if they could take us without a reservation. By the time we left there were still open tables, but Overall it was a good experience. The menu is limited, so it's not somewhere I'd go back to regularly.

    Valentine's Day Panna cotta
    Carmen P.

    Amazing!! From start to finish our experience here was absolute perfection. My husband and I celebrated Valentine's Day with a dinner reservation and let me tell you they did not disappoint. The staff was so friendly and upbeat, the dj was jamming all night, and the food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the Bronzino fully filleted and without a head oozing with flavor. The prawns were delightful with an extra side of sourdough bread, and the Panna cotta was the chefs kiss to our meal. 10/10 would highly recommend.

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.
