They also have cali creamin from Mother Earth. A bunch of sours, stouts, pales etc on draft. They do comedy, yoga, super smash competitions, chess competitions, on different days during the month. They also have a selection of board games you can play! Perfect for a first date, or just hanging with friends. Indoor / outdoor & upstairs seating. A great place to host an event ! Lots of seating, extremely friendly staff, And they have a smoker, with some great meats! All the food I had was good, the brisket is my favorite. Cool place, with cool vibes, and a lot of cool and interesting people hangout here on the weekends. I suggest giving it a try if you're in the area. And make sure you roll the dice and try and win the jackpot ! Cool brewery spot.

There's a tiny front area that feels like someone's living room which I love, and the back patio is very cozy too. They also have larger tables for big groups and a bar area. The food is mexican fusion, really fresh with flavors in perfect harmony. Last time we tried the lobster tacos, and I immediately ordered another. The burrata pear salad was fresh and refreshing, and the butternut squash enchiladas were so yummy and comforting. I can't wait to try more dishes! Oh, and their tacos and guac and chips are really good too, you can't go wrong with anything here!

They were able to accommodate us on short notice on Mother's Day for a party of 6. They offer indoor and outdoor dining and the menu is tapa-bulous! Among our party's favorites: the Raspberry Martini (OMG), Crabby Patty Sliders (again, OMG-high quality fresh crab, just delicious), Le Dolce Burratta (one of the best salads I've ever had). Desserts: Tiramisu and Triple Dip Churros. Friendly and attentive waiter, beautiful decor. I hope by next Mother's Day it will be impossible to get a last minute reservation at this wonderful new establishment. (One note: underground parking is available, but it is $6.00, and if I'd known, I would have parked on the street, where parking was plentiful).

Actress sitting to our left, producers to our right, but the real stars were on our plates on the table. We highly recommend the Brussels sprouts and the Cauliflower. The Hamachi was delicious, Trout almandine was service on garlic toast - very good. Quail eggs were good, but tiny, as quail eggs are supposed to be, but next time I would try the Oysters on the half shell. Place is very noisy, but we had no issues talking to each other, and didn't feel like the people next to us in the "business" were overhearing our conversation. We will be back.

Recommend probably skipping high top table since the tables look more comfortable if that isn't too much of a wait difference. Ambiance / lighting is very nice, recommend inside. Corn Ravioli - very nice, sweet, not even a super big fan of corn flavored things although I think they are nice in asian snacks that I often see (usually Korean or Japanese). Similar parallel if that makes sense. Hamachi was recommended, 10/10, very flavorful, intense mixture of things, would order. Meatballs were solid, saw they were recommended. Not the mind blowing but a good substantive item compared to the rest.

None of my friends enjoyed their food--the dishes were underwhelming and absolutely not worth the money. The service was also horrible, which only made the experience more frustrating. I ordered the French onion soup and it was terrible--dry, soggy bread with barely any cheese and hardly any broth. I also had a flatbread pizza, and honestly, I've had better pizza at Papa John's. None of the food was desirable, and no one at our table even finished their meal. I've never felt like I wasted money at a restaurant the way I did here. The only positive thing I can say is that the restaurant itself is cute and has decent ambience, but that's about it. I wouldn't come back or recommend spending your money here.

The vibe is cool but a little too dark, and the tables are super cramped side-by-side. Got the crispy chicken to start...super crunchy and actually really good. For mains, we got the Tonkotsu Black and Tonkotsu Red ramen. The ramen isn't like mind-blowing, but it totally hits the spot. The noodles are on the thinner side, which I like. Just a heads up on the Red ramen: a level 4 is spicy for me. I had to order extra noodles just to balance it out lol.

You can't really go wrong with a the kale version of a house salad however there are plenty of other options you could order Scallop Crudo: 5/5 - So incredibly blown away by this? I don't think I've scallop this good in years. Melts in your mouth, the sauce is light but perfectly pairs with the fish. I could not get over this one Gambas Al Ajillo: 5/5 - If I could lick the plate clean publicly and without discrimination I would've. The sauce reminded me of some of the best pasta ive ever had. The shrimp was big and well marinated, oh what fun this one was! It was a crime this didn't have more bread to soak it in. I'm not just leaving money on the table, I'm leaving bliss. Potatoes: 5/5 - These were really good! I loved the heat this had and the sauce to go with it. The seasoning great, the skin was crispy but still a soft moist potato inside. These were great to share. Paella Mariscos - 4.5/5 - After everything we had this was a fairly good portion for 3 people even though it says it serves 2 (I still stand by the 2 serving if you don't have much tapas). With that said I think this was a little more on the simpler side when it came to flavor. You could tell it wasn't trying to do too much while still letting you know she's the star of the show. There was a good amount of seafood all of which was cooked really well. The rice was perfect and the sauce ratio was great as well. I had some the next day and it was even better. I really think those scallops just stayed in my mind the whole night. Bread Pudding - 4/5 - I really appreciated the creativity behind reinventing the bread pudding! It was like a cinnamon roll esc type which was a fun but not blow me out of the water dessert. With that said everything on there looked so good so my eye is on the key lime next. Wine: The Albarino was great! I've never heard of it but was a fan favorite. Paired great with all the food. For 3 the total came out to $280 (with tip) which wasn't that bad. Service: 5/5 I forgot our servers name but he was so sweet! He gave us his recs, checked in on us frequently and was accommodating. I also feel like he was serving a lot of tables so his service was stellar! Ambiance: 5/5 The place is tinnyyy but man I am obsessed with the interior. Its swanky without it being pretentious. Intimate feeling but can feel the atmosphere. Not sure what the noise level was like inside, we were outside (two tables on the sidewalk), but it seems like it could get a little loud. Parking: N/A - Its a prime spot on ventura, only metered so...can't really knock the place off that. Really excited to come back here! Hopefully in the near future!
