Beyond the food, which was excellent, the service here was probably among the best that I have ever received. Our waiter gave us excellent insights into the menu and was very attentive. We asked him for a recommendation to decide between two dishes, but he ended up gifting us the other dish anyway just so that we could try the whole menu. We were celebrating a friend's birthday who also happened to be moving to LA the very next day. When our waiter heard this he sent over a small birthday dessert and a list of personal restaurant recommendations for LA for my friend. Overall, everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming.

On to the food. The menu is rather small and eclectic, but that is part of the charm here. Things that I never thought would go together like popcorn and lobster or strawberries and spaghetti were part of some of my favorite dishes. We ended up ordering all of the small plates (including greatest hits) and the family style brisket. All of them were great, but I would probably skip on the green tomato panzanella and the sweat pea primavera next time. Drinks were also quite good, with a good selection of both unique and traditional cocktails.

Overall an excellent dining experience. I highly recommend.
