    Great place for an appetizer & drink, pre-live music. Love the beachy vibe & staff. Very friendly & accommodating, truffle fries are awesome & sangria was refreshing. Ellie from a prior visit was great as well. It is a small venue & bands play around 7, good music but loud so if that is not your thing, go before & experience a more tranquil venue.

    Smokehouse tacos. I wolfed them down too quick! This comes with 3 tacos and they are kind of small but mighty! Must try 10/10

    Ambience was unexplainable! The Dee Jay was spinning records I. The dim light of a cozy atmosphere with sensational food and drinks! A fantastic way to wind down after a long week! Don't cheat yourself... treat yourself! Service was great, don't be in a rush because you will want to savor each moment!

    Loving the live music at tuning fork! Good food and good vibes.

    Came here for the first time and had such a good time. They had a live blues band playing which they do every Sunday. I believe they have live music every night which is pretty cool and definitely amps up the whole experience. They are amazing and truly talented. Lightenin willy is pretty well known and Pete Anderson is a big musical director and manager and plays the guitar in the group. The owner of the restaurant plays the drums which is so cool! They added to the ambiance for sure. I got the truffle burger and truffle fries. The burger was super juicy and they grind all of their own meat which you can tell. Super fresh. The truffles fries were absolutely heaven. I dipped in their homemade ranch/blue cheese dressing. Such a good combo. The server/bartender Josh made some good recommendations with wine. He was super nice and friendly. They have a great selection of beer on tap and different wines by the glass. I was impressed at their wide selection. They make their own potato chips and those were also super yummy. Would definitely recommend for a fun and funky meal with a jam sesh! *a small but big plus they have purse hooks under the bar! Amazing!

    I will definitely comeback to check out the restaurant, bar, and live entertainment. The staff was kind and helpful. I was just browsing the strip and stumbled upon this cool place. I liked all the Grateful Dead art and memorabilia. I think this space would be great for Nate LaPointe to perform a solo act; however, the venue is too small for Dead Cover bands like Cubensis.

    Is there live music Friday nights?

    I know there's music at least once a week and last time I was there, a Grammy winner was going to play. It was a Tuesday, so I think perhaps days change but they definitely support music. A great burger

Every staff member had all hands on deck and handled it well. I never had to ask twice for something, when things were taking a little longer than usual, the servers came up to give us an update. Which is appreciated. This really is the premier spot to watch games and such. It was loud, lively, and a little bit rowdy. A perfect crowd. Drinks were flowing, and good times were had all by all. One thing I very much appreciated was their grace. I got here for the finale at 10am, for a 12pm game. They were still opening up. I was able to hold a table for my group even though the bar was filling up. Luckily everyone got there right as they were reminding me it's first come first serve. We had a great time and I'll be back. Good job handing a crazy few days!!

    Love this place for everything! Ambience Service Food…read more Convenience My to go place when have visitors from out of LA

    This was my first experience with Vitello's Restaurant and their Velvet Martini Lounge. On Saturday…read morenight, a group of 7 of us took our friend here for her birthday, and booked our table in the Velvet Martini Lounge because she wanted to listen to the jazz. Mary was our server, and it started out promising, she greeted us promptly and took our drink orders. It went downhill from there. By the end of the night, the person refilling our water was the best service we got all night, because he came around regularly to check and refill our glasses. It seemed like because there were 7 of us, so she got an automatic 20% gratuity, she didn't think she had to work for her tips, but the service was appalling. Honestly, the room was only half full, so it wasn't even that busy. Service: We had a friend show up late, and it took a long time to get someone's attention to bring a wine and water glass for her. I kept trying to waive someone down, or hoped that Mary would come check in, but no such luck. When the food arrived, they just dropped off the food and left, they didn't asked if I or anyone at the table wanted pepper or parmesan for our dishes, or needed anything else. My friend sitting across from me finally got someone's attention that was walking by to bring some pepper, and after doing her plate, he didn't ask if anyone else at the table wanted any. So I stopped him from leaving and asked the table if anyone else wanted pepper or parm. Myself and another friend wanted parm, but we were half way through our meals before it came. We were at the end of the meal before Mary even came back to check back on us. We ordered another bottle of wine because all of our glasses were empty. Mary just brought it to the table, opened it and then walked off without refilling any of the glasses. For dessert, we ordered one dessert to share, but everyone decided we would do after dinner martinis. Mary took the order for 5 people at the table and left without taking my order or my friend's order for our martinis, so we end up having to wait until she came back with the other 5 martinis to order ours. Food: It was bland, underwhelming and overpriced. I ordered the chicken piccata. The capers were the only thing that gave it flavor, its a dish that I didn't think you could make tasteless. The noodles did not taste fresh, almost rubbery. There are so many Italian places around Los Angeles that are the same price or cheaper that have higher quality and better tasting food. I ordered a chocolate martini, and the alcohol wasn't too overpowering, and it tasted just like drinking a dessert. We ordered bottles of the Montepulciano that they had on their wine list, it was just okay, so if you are a wine person, then I recommend bringing your own bottle and just pay the corkage fee. Bill: They don't hand you the bill, which is a surprise for such a big group. They didn't give us the printed bill until we asked for it after paying. So when I checked it over, I was surprised that on top of the 20% automatic gratuity, there was also a 3.5% kitchen appreciation fee. Which I was told by the hostess as we were leaving you can ask to have removed before paying your bill. Doesn't seem like there is any transparency for that fee. It definitely felt painful to pay 23.5% in tips/fees for such appallingly bad service. Jazz: Saving grace for this place, that's the one star. Saturday night they had just a singer and a piano player. The singer's voice was beautiful and she took requests, so we requested La Vie en Rose before we left. She sang it in English vs. French, but she sang it beautifully. Vitello's has a great history, so if you are going to come here, then come here for the drinks and the jazz.

These days, that the price of an entree. We shared our appetizers: my friend had the individual portion of the uptown mac and cheese and I had the grilled mushroom. The mac and cheese is to die for! So creamy and very rich, with aged cheddar and gruyere cheeses, pieces of chicken, peas, and asparagus sprinkled throughout. A definite diet buster, but worth it! The grilled mushroom was no slouch either. Consisting of oyster and king trumpet mushrooms, the dish had a nice "meaty" taste, ironic since it's a vegetarian dish that is cooked in a plant based butter. You don't miss the lack of meat at all. For entrees, my friend got the poke bowl, which I did not tasted so can't attest to it, but my friend said it was good. I had the spicy pasta, which was amazing. The campanelle pasta was cooked perfectly, holding the savory, slightly spicy corn-based cream sauce in all its luscious folds. Along with roasted poblano peppers, sautéed mushrooms, marinated artichokes, and tomatoes, the ingredients all worked so well together to make a truly yummy dish. We also shared our desserts: My friend got a scoop of the vanilla fleu de sal ice cream while I opted for a scoop of the dark chocolate. Both were good, but I liked the dark chocolate as it had actual pieces of dark chocolate. Our server Kayla was amazing. So friendly and on it! She constantly checked in on us, and made sure our drink glasses were never empty. Today is just the first day of dineLA, so plenty of more opportunities to go back and try some of the other options offered!
