Because of Dine LA, my wife and I decided to give this place a try. I must say it was amazing, the foods were superb. Their service was also great, our server was very polite. It was a small and cozy restaurant. The price for the Dine LA was $39 per person, from a selection of 8 dishes, you have to choose 3. For us, we got to try 6 of the 8 dishes. All the dishes we choose were great, the taste was excellent. I took some pictures of the dishes we had. The dessert wasn't included in the Dine LA menu.

Let’s start with something important - You can park behind the restaurant for free. This alone warrants a 5 star experience.
We sat at the chef’s counter because that was what was available to us…Sure tables are more comfy but we really enjoyed the open kitchen experience at the counter and found it fun to watch everything being made.
I had a Strawberry Manhattan to drink which was made with House Infused Strawberry Bourbon, Carpano Antica, Punt e Mes, Bitters. I took notes but feel the alcohol may have been in effect because this is what I wrote: I drink too sweet which my wife like you need flavor me. (Maybe in the future we should take notes on the drink after just a few sips…We’ll just assume I enjoyed it.)
For food we started with the Sunchoke and Coconut Curry. This was very satisfying and tasty, even without the house-made naan (yes, house-made naan) which was, on its own, very satisfying and tasty. This is what all naan should be. I don’t know what all other Indian restaurants are thinking of when they serve naan, now that I’ve had this.
We also had the Citrus Salad which I don’t currently see on the menu, so kudos for to them for changing their food seasonally…it included two types of oranges. It was refreshing, but mostly tasted like oranges without much of a sense of the olive oil or spices it was supposed to be marinated with it. It was a refreshing start for sure.
Along came the Saffron Mushroom Ragu - This was extremely fresh tasting. The cheese in the sauce was delightfully present, and the mushroom tomato ragu had an almost meat like texture to it. This was an excellent dish.
The String Beans were also extremely fresh. My wife described it as “got these at the market this morning fresh”. They were very crispy and refreshing, and served with a dressing that was reminiscent of ranch, but so much fresher and fluffy.
We’ll definitely be back to try more, especially with plenty of vegetarian options, super fresh tasting food, and a menu that changes often. Save seats at the counter for us!
The bellwether has been on my wife and I's list for about a year. The brunch experience was nothing short of fantastic. Excellent service with appetizing drinks. We had the Avocado Toast, Tempura Cauliflower, and the Spicy Chicken Sando. Very delicious but a tad salty. Nothing a good drink couldn't solve.
Great spot for brunch on Ventura Blvd! You share breakfast items tapas style and they offer a great deal on a bottle of champagne with three choices of fruit flavors that you personally mix. Everything on the menu was delicious! Will definitely be back.
Full bar and fun. Keep in mind, it isn't cheap, but it's worth the money. If you enjoy seafood, get the whole fish. Delicious and enjoyable to share.
My food critic bud recommended me to try their wagyu, Japanese beef. But ...I’m not a beef eater.
So I took my VIP guest from Japan. She LOVED the ambience and food (octopus & skirt steaks especially). But the service was not so good. I really don’t like waving down a waiter..like I’m begging to Oder. The bus boys were so on it and they helped me to get our waiter. (Maybe I’m too pissy because we had an impeccable service last night at a sushi restaurant...).
Price is perfect for the quality. It is obvious that the chefs care.

Small plate but quality I really liked the fish plate it was different.
Wow! This chef is a brilliant man and his food is outstanding. Worth the price!!
Went here not sure what to expect. Each item I ordered to try blew me away. Everything from the short rib to the cauliflower truly was an amazing dish.
The wait staff here are good people. You will be glad you spent the extra money to come here. I know I am and I will be coming back here for sure!

Nice, trendy little spot. My wife and I had dinner here with some friends recently, and it was great. It was pretty busy (and quite noisy), so I'd suggest reservations.
The food was very good. It was served family style, i.e., each plate is meant to be shared, so it's best to order 2-3 items apiece. I had a cold corn salad--excellent--and I tried some of my wife's short rib pasta, and it was delicious. But the highlight of the night for me was the patty melt sandwich (think a grilled cheese with ground beef and onions). I grew up in Mississippi, and went to Waffle House more times than I could count; the patty melt is one of WH's signature dishes. Toward the end of our meal I remember pointing to the sandwich and telling my wife, "If God opened a diner, this is what He'd serve." It was phenomenal.
Great overall experience here. I took one star off because the noise killed the ambiance some, and made it hard to hear (but they have tables on an outdoor patio, and that seemed quieter, so you could sit out there if you prefer). I'd recommend this place--for that killer patty melt, if nothing else!
Good food great staff. Perfect place for a night out or business meeting.
