Disappointed to report that this is no longer a restaurant worth visiting in LA. I say that fully acknowledging that the food is delicious. Get take out instead and skip the restaurant (and treacherous valet parking). They've rested on their laurels and nearly all the staff, from the manager, to the host, to our wait staff approached our 8-person birthday party dinner with attitude.

Our birthday cake was immediately refused (no outside food), our reservation threatened 4 minutes into it's time slot (if you're party isn't here in 10 minutes, we're giving up your table), and we were repeatedly told (even during dinner!) that we needed to vacate the table within 2 hours. Our waitress walked away mid-drink order (missed half the table) and appeared frustrated when we asked for more time to figure out our entree selection. It was extremely awkward and uncomfortable for all of the diners in our party, especially the birthday guest of honor. Ironically, we were dining with someone currently starring on a primetime show on Fox, and we were still treated poorly (not-so-silver lining = all people treated poorly?).

There are too many delicious restaurants in this wonderful city filled with hard working staff - don't waste your time here and instead go to a restaurant that deserves your attention and values your patronage.
