We managed to get a walk in table early after arriving and finding no seats left at the bar which was jammed. A cross of design/fashion nearby office workers and old Hollywood (maybe a few holdovers from Jimmys?) and those who sorely miss Mortons. Excellent but pricey food. The bar nailed my Aperol Spritz cocktail just right. Swordfish was perfectly cooked. Beware the truffle dishes...pasta can cost $50 a plate with a few shards, but yummy!

The food is tasty, yet unexceptional and expensive. They try to create atmosphere by pushing one to the bar, claiming all the tables are reserved, but leaving half the tables empty. When questioned about this ‘policy,’ the hostess was condescending (unacceptable service). They push Italian ‘tapas,’ but the wine glass list is short (only one Italian red). With two leading men in the room, perhaps they don’t need the rest of us. Try Mozza instead.

Lovely space with great indoor/outdoor flow. Friendly, helpful service. Surprised by how much we enjoyed the food. Incredible people watching with so much to see from hip 18 year-olds to chic couples in the 80s and everything in between. Can't wait to go back.

Awful! One of the most overrated restaurants I've been to. All Hollywood glitz & no substance. Crowd is all flash, trying too hard & has no knowledge of food. Appetizer of scallops w/ prosciutto was good, not unusual or outstanding. Salad of grilled squid w/salami & dried tomatoes returned uneaten as tasteless & not worth eating. Osso Bucco, supposed star of menu, was tough & tasteless. Service: amateur waiters, wine not refilled.
