Reviews The Brasserie

Yumm! It’s definitely a little spendy but worth it! I wasn’t too hungry so I got a caesar and brussel sprouts and they were very good. The wine selection was nice and my friend got the chicken and a cocktail which was nice. They were very fast and we got to our show in plenty of time.

Kendall's is the best place to go after work in Downtown LA for Happy Hour or just to hang with friends. It is also a great bar for anyone going to a show at the Music Center. Having dinner there is the best. They start serving dinner right at 5 so you can easily make it to your performance at the Music Center. The staff knows curtain time and will make sure you have plenty of time to get where you are going. If you are not going to a show it is one of the best places for fine dinning in Downtown LA. The menu is not huge, but everything on it is perfect. We have been a few times now and are working our way though the menu as well as the starters. The staff is great and so very professional. They will take super good care of you. They check on you often and they know the menu well. This latest time we tried their chicken dish which was amazing. It is a chicken breast, large, with crispy skin. Under that is fingerling potatoes, tomatoes and other great things, all in an amazing broth. We had to have their mussels, shrimp and other seafood in a rich broth again. It is my grandson's favorite and boy do you get a lot of seafood. They just introduced a new Caesar salad, which might not sound like much, but it is truly the best Caesar salad I have ever had. It has this dressing that is just amazing and the Romine is so fresh and crisp. It also has kale on it, which my grandson took great care to remove--but he sure loved the rest of it as did I. It also has some anti pasto meats. We tried their nuts for the first time. They come baked and in a little bowl with seasoning on them and they are fantastic. I never though I would order that as a starter, but it will now be ordered by us whenever we go. Their truffle fries are great and we love their coffee. Get their bread as well. It is worth it. Their desserts are great, the best being their chocolate pot, which is so tasty. You will love this place.

Great newly remodeled restaurant. The price is high but it’s nice quality. The service was quick and they really understand the importance of delivering the food quick as the majority of the visitors are on their way to the theatre. I got the octopus salad and ratatouille with the chocolate mousse for dessert and was very pleased with everything!

I ate here twice in one week before seeing shows at the Ahmanson and Mark Taper Forum, I loved it! Great cocktails, loved the brussel sprouts (shared them both nights) and had great meals! In addition, staff came by and cleared us (with wrist bands)for the shows!
