We recently hosted our first cocktail party in LA, and Dave from Prank was an absolute angel. He…read moresupported us from start to finish, offering thoughtful suggestions on how to make the event even more unique and special. I had many questions, and both he and his team addressed every single one with patience, care, and attention to detail. It's clear that Dave was born to host events! That level of guidance makes all the difference when you're nervours... that patience and guidance it's exactly what you want in a venue partner. Prank was an excellent choice for our event. The location is fantastic, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the drinks and food were outstanding. Thank you so much. We will absolutely recommend Prank and keep it on our radar for future events in LA.

The open patio, the bar area and how it wraps around the corner where there is a smaller intimate section. The music was awesome, the bartender has a great pour and the people seemed to be really having a great time.

Plans are made to come back and I must try the food when I do. Cheers!!

We sat at the booths but had the choice to sit outside. The ambiance was great, slightly dark and industrial with some lighting, and noisy enough to have a conversation and not be distracted. When we got our food it came out good. I had the French dip sandwich with side salad. My friend had the salmon plate with Yuka fries appetizer. We had a nice time because another friend joined the party and they let us gather for a good while since it wasn't all that busy. This is a great restaurant with a hip vibe next to the Starbucks under the ground street floor of the Bloc.

You come here for the view and the vibes, food and drink comes next. Food is great, not exquisite…read more Worth visiting at least once, the atmosphere is very nice and chic! We walked-in on a weekday brunch but def recommend making a reservation to make sure things are smooth. FOOD Look, a lot of hotels gave up on their food (especially for the ones who know their place is aesthetic). Cara Cara didn't give up on their food taste and quality, it's a vibey brunch spot for sure. I love the wide variety of selections on the menu, there are plenty of options. Short Rib Barbacoa Tacos (4/5): Decent, quite yummy. Comes with 2 tacos originally. I add extra 3rd one as server were asking, thought I may as well add it. Meat is quite tender and soft, not bad, would have asked for hot sauce to make it better. Porcini-Rubbed Steak (4.2/5): Not bad! Had it in medium rare, quite tender (didn't expect it to be tender as most hotel over cook their steaks). Comes with chimichurri sauce, nice. SERVICE Queenie is the best!! She is friendly, attentive and knows around the menu. Delivers up to standard hospitality, no pretentious attitude from receptionist either- nice! I hope they maintain their service quality. AMBIENCE I personally prefer the view in here over the Perch rooftop, it's not as spacious as Perch's rooftop, but the interior and decor are better- in my opinion. Curious to come back at night time for a cocktail or two with the view in DTLA! OVERALL I give this place a 5 star not because it's just a very nice place to sit down nicely- have a brunch or some drinks and admire the view. Both of the brunch spots in Beverly Hills Hotel are gonna cost 2x what you pay in here and you still get no city view, and also food quality and service sucks there. Food here is not disappointing at all, it's definitely not one of those "food is disgusting, views are all they got"-kinda place. Their food is delicious, we didn't hesitate to clear up our plates. Worth visiting at least once, if you don't like the food, get a picture and you will still be happy! Definitely coming back to check out the views at night over a cocktail or dinner.

I am so happy I finally got to try Dama! I absolutely love Antonia LaFasso so I've been dying to…read moretry one of her restaurants. Now when you pull up originally you might think, "am I in the right place" but once you park and get into the courtyard, it is LOVELY! Amazing ambience! There is a bocce set up, string lights. It is a little slice of oasis in the middle of the fashion district. The restaurant itself - beautiful. I couldn't ask for more. Absolutely perfect in my book. Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried. Unfortunately my friends had gone to Funke the night before so they were comparing the squash blossoms and Funke won out, but they still liked Dama's! Small plates were enough for the 3 of us. The service was quick and attentive. Parking was easy for us. I will definitely be back!

We've probably been to Dama two dozen times. It's one of our regular spots and we love it…read more First of all the service is always great. The staff are lovely humans who really seem to care about their customers. We have some faves on the menu. The bean dip is fabulous and I'm addicted to the baby gem salad. They have recently amped up the filling in the delicious crispy squash blossoms and I love the acidity and heat. The fish is also a hit in my books. One dish that doesn't work for me is the lamb chops, which is a shame since it's my favorite protein. I've ordered them multiple times with clear instructions on temperature and have found them overcooked and tough. The beef tostada was just ok. Whilst I loved the pickled veg on the side, the beef was underseasoned. It wasn't bad - just not up to the standard of other dishes. The vibe in the place is welcoming and the restaurant is nicely appointed. We will continue to be regulars and it's really worth trying if you haven't been yet.

This place was delicious!…read more We tried literally a little bit of everything, it was all delicious. My favorite were the bourbon wings, the fish nuggets, the coleslaw (which was vinaigrette based and not mayo based), and the oxtail. The fried deviled eggs and the fried green tomatoes were also surprisingly good since I've never had either before. The portion size for everything was just right. They do have several gourmet cocktails and I tried the PYT with a butterfly blue and butterfly peas - it was really the color changing effect I was after. It was great, not too terribly sweet and just the right strength. They also have a full wine list from Black wineries - so I'm a huge fan of that. Our server was fantastic and everyone that helped us was also incredibly kind. We went on a Friday early evening and it was relatively busy, but it wasn't insanely loud. The ambiance was perfect for us. It was my mom's birthday and she had a great time. The wall decor was hilarious and fit the restaurant perfect. We love that it's Black owned. It was a bit far out for us, but if we were ever in the mood for good soul food outside the South, I'd definitely go here.

Everyone was super friendly, we felt at home. The servers were fantastic, food was tasty ( we had the Philly cheesesteak with potato wedges).

There's something about dive bars that resonate with me. It's something you'll never know unless…read moreyou knew me in my previous life. Or if you find me in one and buy me a pour. But I digress ... 901 is relatively close to work and it's where I ended up last week, though passed it a countless number of times and never had the notion of going, until a coworker suggested it for Happy Hour. Now, I'll probably be a regular. Parking is going to be challenging. There's street parking and something that resembles a parking lot around back but I'll just say - if you know the area, have fun and good luck. Sat at the bar so service was excellent. Friendly. Attentive but not in a hovering sort of way. There's only so far to walk behind the bar so looking at the levels of drinks isn't really a stretch. There's other seating too - tables and booths. Music playing - not so loud you can't hear others in your party talking. A TV was on, but I don't recall if there was more than one - mentioning it in case you're thinking of going to watch sporting events. And food is served. See pics. It's not gourmet but definitely great as bar food. I inhaled the pepperoni fries and the tacos weren't bad as well. But I was there for drinks and I love the two for one special. And that it's every day. That's pretty much what I'll be back for as it's close to work, service was great and the vibe was cool. Not to mention, there's a few pours of whiskey I don't mind whetting my palette with.

Took some friends here who were visiting and wanted a Speakeasy experience…read more It was maybe 9:30/10pm on a Friday and it wasn't super busy. We were able to get a seat on the coach and order drinks from the bar relatively quickly. Prices were pretty typical of LA ($18-25 a cocktail) but I would say I probably won't come back this late as it's in a shadier part of town. They have a bouncer and it was fine inside, but it's not a place where you can bar hop if that's what you're looking for as the area is seedy. Would be interested to try the food next time, but again, the safety and comfort of the light of day.

Library Bar is honestly my favorite local spot because the vibes stay vibing I keep coming back…read morefor midweek happy hour, good music, and the overall energy. Food is hit or miss overall, and the sliders perfectly represent that lol. Sometimes the meat tastes fresh, seasoned, and so good... and sometimes it absolutely does not. Today was unfortunately one of those days Dear gods don't let me get sick. Very inconsistent Also the well vodka tastes like punishment so drink at your own risk. So I never benefit from happy hour prices. And one time after my birthday get together there, my friend had her card number stolen (card was charged there a couple weeks later) and had a hard time getting ahold of anyone after, which wasn't great. Service is cool, not amazing, but somehow I still keep coming back because the vibe wins every time.

We saved the best for last on our weekend LA jaunt, and were not disappointed! Since we weren't…read moresure if we'd have a chance to return here soon, we splurged on the Tartufo pizza and portobello fries. The pizza was even better than described, with mozzarella, fontina, truffle peccorino, creme fraiche, truffle mushroom pate on a perfectly cooked crust. This was topped with a soft cooked egg and freshly shaved Sabatino black truffles. Although the truffles were shaved across the large restaurant, we could smell it from our table! I normally prefer to avoid most "truffle" anything due to questionable quality and its tendency to overpower any other taste, but this one was the OG! The fresh truffle shavings along with the truffle pate added a pleasant earthiness to the rich and salty cheeses. We accepted the waiter's offer to spread the egg yolk over the pizza. Best to let the pro do it. Adding a soft cooked egg to almost anything will elevate it. I definitely recommend this pizza! The portobello fries had a yummy thin crust that stayed crispy throughout the meal. They were placed upright in a holder so also stayed warm. Of course no visit here would be complete without going to the bakery. We got some macaroons for the road, including a giant raspberry one with fresh raspberries that provided a bit of heaven during our flight home. The oatmeal raisin cookie and chocolate croissant were also delicious!

Sure enough, we were seated right away. My daughter and I love the Portobello fries for a starter. They are so delicious and crispy, and the dipping sauce pairs perfect. For our meal we decided to share a Cesar salad and a pizza. For dessert we actually wanted the CHOCOLATE FRAMBOISE but they were all out. They actually were out of quite a bit of their pastries. The whole pastry counter was completely empty. I asked the server why it was empty and he mentioned they sold out due to graduation season. I decided on the crème brûlée and my daughter ordered chocolate gelato. We enjoyed our dessert. As for the ambiance, if you're looking for a romantic quiet restaurant for dinner. Bottega Louie is not for you. It is a loud up beat restaurant. I personally enjoy it. They have a person making the pizza towards the back and this night a table of guests were cheering him on as he threw the pizza dough up in the air multiple times. So fun to watch! The chefs are also cooking your food with a clear glass around them so you can watch as they prepare the food. Definitely recommend!!
